. Sarah’s Organic Soap Company makes four kinds of organic liquid soap: “regular,”“lavender,” “citrus,” and “tea tree.” Demands for the four scents are 150, 120, 75, and50 kgs per hour, respectively. Sarah’s production process can produce any soap at therate of 450 kgs per hour, but 1.5 hours are needed to switch between scents. Duringthose switchover times, the process doesn’t produce any soap. Sarah wants to choosea production schedule that (i) cycles repeatedly through the four scents, (ii) meets therequired demand, and (iii) minimizes the amount of inventory held.How many kgs of “regular” should Sarah produce before switching over to another scent?

- A Company produces a component for use in the aerospace industry. The component consists of three parts (A, B and C), which are purchased externally and cost 50c, 60c and 70c per piece respectively. Parts A and B are assembled first on assembly line 1, which produces 150 components per hour. Part C undergoes a drilling operation before being finally assembled with the output from assembly line 1. There are six drilling machines in total, but only three are currently operational. Each drilling machine drills part C at a rate of 30 parts per hour. The final assembly line has a production capacity of 100 components per hour. At present, components are produced eight hours a day, five days a week. If the need arises, management can add a second shift of eight hours for the assembly lines only. The cost of assembly labour is 40c per assembly operation for each assembly line; the cost of drilling labour is 20c per part. For drilling, the cost of electricity is 10c per part.

Operation P4 occurs seperately from and simultaneously with operations P1-P3. Operation P5 has three parallel and identical lines; therefore, each part only needs to go through one of the three lines. Consider the following two independent improvements: Improvement 1: Change station P4 into two connected stations (P4-1 and P4-2, connected in series) that have process times of 4 min/unit and 6 min/unit respectively. Improvement 2: Add two additional P5 stations to give you 5 parallel and identical lines. Improvement 2 increases capacity because it improves the bottleneck. The new bottleneck is station P4 since the original bottleneck has a process time of The new yearly capacity would be units per year. a) Which of the two improvements will provide the largest increase in capacity?
