A metal fabrication shop has a single punch press. There are currently three partsthat the shop has agreed to produce that require the press, and it appears that theywill be supplying these parts well into the future. You may assume that the press isthe critical resource for these parts, so that we need not worry about the interactionof the press with the other machines in the shop. The relevant information here is:   Part Number Demand/year Set up Cost ($) Cost per Unit ($) Production rate/year 1 2,500 80 16 45,000 2 5,500 120 18 40,000 3 1,450 60 22 26,000   Holding costs are based on an 18 percent annual interest rate, and the products are to be produced in sequence on a rotation cycle. Setup times can be considered negligible.   What is the optimal lot size of part 2?
Tuff-Rider, Inc., manufactures touring bikes and mountainbikes in a variety of frame sizes, colors, and component com-binations. Identical bicycles are produced in lots of 100. Theprojected demand, lot size, and time standards are shown inthe following table: Item Touring MountainDemand forecast 5,000 units/year 10,000 units/yearLot size 100 units 100 unitsStandard processing time .25 hour/unit .50 hour/unitStandard setup time 2 hours/lot 3 hours/lot The shop currently works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week,50 weeks a year. It operates five workstations, each producingone bicycle in the time shown in the table. The shop main-tains a 15 percent capacity cushion. How many workstationswill be required next year to meet expected demand withoutusing overtime and without decreasing the firm’s currentcapacity cushion?
