Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 17P
Refer back to Problem 16. Suppose that in addition to the usual precedence constraints, there are two zoning constraints within the trim line. First, work elements K and L should be assigned to the same station; both use a common component, and assigning them to the same station conserves storage space. Second, work elements H and J cannot be performed at the same station.
- Using trial and error, balance the line as best you can.
- What is the efficiency of your solution?

An assembly line consists of 5 work stations. In order to assemble a complete finished product, the work has to proceed from Work Station 1, to Work Station 2, to Work Station 3, to Work Station 4, then finally to Work Station 5. The output from Work Station 5 is the finished product. The shop floor supervisor sees that unnecessary inventory is accumulating between Work Stations 3 and 4. This inventory is best called:
A process improvement team is working to improve the production output at the Johnson Manufacturing plant’sHeader Cell that manufactures a key component, headers, used in commercial air conditioners. A header is partof the circulatory system of a commercial air conditioner that moves coolant between various components suchas the evaporator coil and the condenser coil. Currently, the header production cell is scheduled separately fromthe main work in the plant. Often, individual headers are not sequenced to match the product they go into on thefinal assembly line in a timely fashion, and so the product can sit in queue waiting for a header
Problem #3 - Jasper Inc. has an air conditioning manufacturing facility in Lakeland - FL for air conditioning SKUS: J101
and J104. The assembly process for each SKU is similar and both require a certain number of hours in the Assembly
Department and in the Finishing Department.
As a business consultant, Jasper Inc. asked you to apply Linear Programming (LP) to determine the combination for the
number of SKUs J101 and J104 to assemble in every month to maximize its revenue when its facility and business operate
under the following conditions:
●
Each SKU J101 takes 4 hours in the Assembly Department and 2 hours in the Finishing Department.
●
Each SKU J104 takes 3 hours in the Assembly Department and 1 hour in the Finishing Department.
●
The Assembly Department has 235 hours available in the current production period, while the Finishing Department
has 95 hours available.
●
Each SKU J101 is sold for $400.
Each SKU J104 is sold for $300.

- WhatYouNeed is an online retailer with operations in Northern Indiana. Their network includes five big warehouses. All of the warehouses are fully automated: packaging is performed by robots on top of electric conveyors. Although the company has saved a lot in labor costs by the use of this packaging line, it has resulted in some excessive waste of material. After some analysis of this waste issue, the company has discovered that the number of product types that are assigned to the packaging line is strongly correlated with the amount of wasted material. Based on this insight, their operations manager has built a mathematical expression that estimates the expected amount of waste from the packaging line as a function of the number of product types in it. The expression is as follows: W = (n-93)2 – (n-88) + 227 In this expression, n is the number of product types you are packing on the line and W is the hourly waste of packaging material (in lbs).
