Chapter B, Problem 5P
Summary Introduction
To determine: The best product mix using linear programming.
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.

Company ZWZ manufactures three products in a serial system; Product XA is manufactured in Stage 1, Product XB in Stage 2, and XC in Stage 3. Product XB has a sales potential in the market; hence, some of it can be sold at the end of Stage 2, and
the remaining can be moved to Stage 3. The third stage produces Product XC, and then delivers it to customers. Two units of Product XA produced in Stage 1 are required for each unit of Product XB in Stage 2. In addition, four units of Product XB
produced in Stage 2 are required for each unit of Product XC in Stage 3.
Stage 1 can only use regular time; however, Stage 2 has the options of using regular time and overtime in manufacturing. On the other hand, Stage 3 has only one alternative, which is subcontracting. The pertinent data are provided below:

Kala is one of the top manufacturer of ukuleles. The manufacturer produces three different
types of ukuleles. Its Concert produce $6 in profit per unit; its Soprano produce $4 in profit
per unit; and its Tenor produce $8 in profit per unit. Each type of ukulele passes through three
manufacturing stages as a part of the entire production process. The three process centers of
modelling, curing and assembly has an available production time per day of 12 hours, 14
hours and 16 hours, respectively. To produce one hundred units of Concert, the time required
for the process of modelling, curing and assembly is 2 hours, 3 hours and 2 hours,
respectively. To produce one hundred units of Soprano, 2 hours of modelling, 2 hours of
curing and 1 hour of assembly is required. Whereas 4 hours of modelling, 2 hours of curing
and 2 hours of assembly is required to produce one hundred units of Tenor. Sensitivity report
of the problem is given as below where C = unit of Concert to be produced each day, S…
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. The overhead cost…

Each unit of the end item, called a jit-together, requires 3 gadjits and 2 widjits. The daily production quota on the assembly line is 750 jit-togethers. The container for gadjits holds 70 units. The policy variable for center 1 is set at 0.03. The average waiting time for a container of gadjits is 0.08 day, and 0.05 day is needed to produce a container. The container for widjits holds 60 units, and the policy variable for center 2 is 0.09. The average waiting time per container of widjits is 0.16 day, and the time required to process a container is 0.26 day. a. How many containers are needed for gadjits? 5 containers.

In simplified terms, chip making at JCL Inc. involves three basic operations: depositing, patterning, and etching. Depositing: Using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology, an insulating material is deposited on the wafer surface, forming a thin layer of solid material on the chip. Patterning: Photolithography projects a microscopic circuit pattern on the wafer surface, which has a light-sensitive chemical like the emulsion on photographic film. It is repeated many times as each layer of the chip is built. Etching: Etching removes selected material from the chip surface to create the device structures. The following table lists the required processing times and setup times at each of the steps. Assume that the unit of production is a wafer, from which individual chips are cut at a later stage. Note: A setup can only begin once the batch has arrived at the…arrow_forwardJCL Inc. is a major chip manufacturing firm that sells its products to computer manufacturers like Dell, Gateway, and others.

- There is an upstream Picking department that feeds two downstream Packing departments: Pack Singles and Pack Multis. Those Packing departments feed to a Shipping department that loads the outgoing trucks. 40% of your Pick volume goes to Pack Singles and has a packing rate of 104 units per labor hour (uph). 60% of the Pick volume goes to Pack Multis and has a pack rate of 215 units per labor hour. Your pickers pick both Single and Multi items throughout the day at an overall average rate of 114 units per labor hour. All units that are packed in both processes go through the Ship process at a rate of 570 units per hour. You have 102 people today for all 4 departments and you absolutely must pack 47,880 units in Pack Multis Items to meet a customer promise metric.

The most recent order has been for 1200 door lock units for an apartment complex developer. The sales and production departments must work together to determine delivery schedules. Each lock unit consists of three components: the knob and faceplate, the actual lock itself, and a set of two keys. Although the processes used in the manufacture of the three components vary, there are three areas where the production manager is concerned about the availability of resources. These three areas, their usage by the three components, and their availability are detailed in the table.
