Chapter 4.12, Problem 8P
As technology advances and new materials are synthesized, there are certain products that receive only minimal, if any, modernization attempts. Among them are the shopping carts used in grocery stores. There is a tendency to save parking spaces by not designating a return cart area. Leaving carts in the parking lots may lead to serious accidents and car damage. Furthermore, although many customers do not fill their carts that much when t shopping, they do not like to carry baskets. Other customers like to sort products as they shop. Develop an objective tree to clarify the need statement and prioritize the objectives laid out in the problem statement. You may add features that may not be listed clearly in the problem statement but will give an additional advantage to the proposed design.

The production department for a company
requires 3500kg, of row material for
manufacturing a particular item per year. It
has been estimated that the cost of placing
an order is Rs.35 & the cost of carrying
inventory is 25 percentage of the investment
the inventories. The price is Rs.10 per kg. The
purchase manager wishes to determine an
ordering policy for raw material. Calculate (1)
The optimal lot size (2) The minimum yearly
variable inventory cost (3) The optimal order
cycle time (4) The minimum yearly total
inventory cost.
I need correct solution upto 2 decimal point.
(a) There are several reasons why a certain manufacturing process is selected. Explain
how time-scale allowed for design and manufacture can influence selection of a
manufacturing process. Give one example.
(b) Explain how flexibility in production can become an important manufacturing process
requirement. Give one example.

- A certain job shop specializes in one-of-a-kind orders dealing with parts of medium-to-high complexity. A typical part is processed sequentially through ten machines in batch sizes of one. The shop contains a total of eight conventional machine tools and operates 40 hours per week of production time. Average time values on each part per machine are: Machining time = 0.5 hour; Work handling time = 0.3 hour; Tool change time = 0.2 hour; Setup time = 3 hours; Nonoperation time = 12 hours. A new programmable machine is being considered that can perform all ten operations in a single setup. The programming of the machine for this part will require 20 hours; however, the programming can be done off-line, without tying up the machine. Setup time will be just 2 hours because simpler fixtures will be used. Total machining time will be reduced to 80% of its previous value due to advanced tool control algorithms; work handling time will be the same as for one machine; and total tool change time…arrow_forwardA ng.cengage.com * Mind Tap - Cengage Learning Q Search this course * CENGAGE MINDTAP Homework (Ch 03) 1.

Your boss asks you to consider two options: (1) re-engineer the outdated parts at a cost of $30,000, and ideally resell them for $60,000, or (2) scrap them for $15,000 cash (which is certain) in a second-hand market. What advice would you give your boss? Explain in your own words and give the data that supports your answer.arrow_forwardOne of the most important responsibilities you have as a computer manufacturer is to provide goods that are unparalleled in terms of both their quality and their performance, all while ensuring that their costs remain reasonable.

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.

Product A needs 1 working hour in the first phase, and 4 working hours in the second phase, while Product B needs 2 working hours in the first phase, and 3 hours of work in the second stage. If you know that the profit per unit of product A is $60, and the profit per unit of product B is $50. The available weekly working hours in the first stage are 40 hours, and in the second stage are 120 hours.
