Chapter B, Problem 36P
Summary Introduction
To determine: The number of servers that must report to work at the beginning of each period.
Introduction:
Linear programming:
It is a linear optimization technique followed to develop the best outcome for the linear programming problem. The outcome might be to maximize profit, minimize cost, or to determine the optimal product mix. The outcome will take the constraints present in achieving the solution into consideration.

Consider the following tasks that must be assigned to four workers on a conveyor-paced assembly line (i.e., a machine-paced line flow). Each worker must perform at least one task. There exists unlimited demand unless stated otherwise. Time to Complete Task (seconds): Task 1: 30 Task 2: 25 Task 3: 15 Task 4: 20 Task 5: 15 Task 6: 20 Task 7: 50 Task 8: 15 Task 9: 20 Task 10: 25 Task 11: 15 Task 12: 20 The current conveyor-paced assembly-line configuration assigns the workers in the following way: • Worker 1: Tasks 1, 2, 3 • Worker 2: Tasks 4, 5, 6 • Worker 3: Tasks 7, 8, 9 • Worker 4: Tasks 10, 11, 12 What is the direct labor content (in seconds per unit)?
A Support Labor Staff lifts bricks from 30, 53-ft long trailers in their 8-hr shift using forklifts. The typical
53-ft trailer holds 26 pallets of bricks. The warehouse receives in the first half of the shift and ships in the second
half of the shift. The work standard for forklift operations is listed below:
Load/unload pallet from trailer
45 sec
Move from dock to warehouse or warehouse to dock
120 sec
Load/unload pallet from Truck
30 sec
Move within warehouse
60 sec
Calculate the number of forklifts needed to process all the pallets is most nearly:

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 headerarrow_forward
