Which production system can produce relatively low volume even the demand for the products fluctuates?
A process currently services an average of
59
customers per day. Observations in recent weeks show that its utilization is about 90 percent, allowing for just a 10 percent capacity cushion. If demand is expected to be
70
percent of the current level in five years and management wants to have a capacity cushion of just
4
percent, what capacity requirement should be planned?
The needed capacity requirement is
nothing
customers per day. (Enter your response rounded up to the next whole
number.)
What are the key components of a regular maintenance schedule for a complex manufacturing system?

- It pertains as to how a shape of a product is in accordance with the desired specifications.arrow_forwardSuppose that a company has determined that a 75% experience curve accurately describes the evolution of its production costs for a new line. If the first unit costs $400 to produce, what should the 10,000th unit cost based on the experience curve?arrow_forwardA written form detailing the product components is: Functional models. Exploded view. Force flow diagram. Bill of material.arrow_forward
- It is pointed out at the start that every car is made to order, yet the product is mass produced. "Every car is different". How can this be so in such a mass production line? O The cars go round the assembly line more than once The variants for each individual car are superficial (bumper choice, colour, trim etc) and only possible if the production line is not disrupted By making changes to the product at the end of the production line in accordance to the order By involving more staff in the assembly processarrow_forwardWhat are the advantages and disadvantages of producing new products in existing facilities?arrow_forwardIf the opening inventory is 400 units, demand is 900 units, and production is 700 units, what will be the ending inventory?arrow_forward
- There are four distinct categories that can be used to classify production systems. A concise explanation and example are provided for each of these categories in turn.arrow_forwardA small electrical appliance is to be assembled on a single model assembly line. The line will be operated 250 days/year, 15 hours/day. The work content has been divided into work elements as defined in the following Table. Also given are the element times and precedence requirements. Annual production is to be 200,000 units. Repositioning time for each worker is 0.08 min. Determine (a) average hourly production rate, (b) cycle time, and (c) theoretical minimum number of workers required to meet annual production requirements. (d) Use all the line balancing algorithm (Largest Candidate Rule, Kilbridge and Wester Method, and Ranked Positional Weights Method) to balance the line. For your solution, determine (e) balance efficiency of the line.

Explain why did it occur? b) What are the major causes of failure per reliability engineering practice?arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between the goals of a process system and the risk associated with that system? (1 page max.)arrow_forwardManufacturing process can be divided by 5 main groups with respect to their physical action on raw materials and some of them acquire a specific machine. They can be listed as: 1. Material deposition technologies, such as casting and sintering, or the new "rapid manufacturing" techniques developed rapidly in the last ten years. 2. Joining techniques, in which riveting, friction stir welding (FSW), welding and assembly are classified. 3. Forming, where hot working techniques like forging and cold working techniques such as forming, spinning and involute splines production are placed. 4. Material separation, including shearing, nibbling, punching, cutting by laser and cutting by high pressure water or abrasive waterjet (AWJ). 5. And finally material removal processes, also known as machining processes. Using 3D metal printing is falls under which catogary? O a. No. 5 O b. No. 4 O c. No. 2 O d. no. 1 O e. No. 3arrow_forward
