A manufacturing plant produces a product 'A' that requires one unit of 'B' and ½ unit of 'C'. Each unit of 'B' is comprised of one unit of 'D', two units of 'E', and one unit of 'F'. Each unit of 'C' requires ½ unit of 'G' and three units of 'H'. The manufacturing lead times for the components are as follows: 'A' - two weeks, 'B' - one week, 'C' - two weeks, 'D' - two weeks, 'E' - three weeks, 'F' - one week, 'G' - two weeks, 'H' - one week. There are 20 units in stock for each of these components. 100 units of 'A' are needed for delivery in seven weeks: a) Develop the product structure and indexed bill of materials for the product. b) Create a gross and net requirements plan for the manufacturer of the product.
A machine used for cutting materials in a factory has the following outputs per hour at various speeds and required periodic tool regrinding at intervals cited.
Speed Hour Output per Tool RegrindingA 200 pieces every 8 hours
B 280 pieces every 5 hours
A set of tools costs 560 and can be ground twenty times. Each regrinding costs 54.00 and the time needed to regrind and change tools is 1 hour. The machine operator is paid 35.00 per hour including the time the tool is changed. The tool grinder who also sets the tools to the machine is paid 40.00 per hour. The hourly rate chargeable against the machine is 38.00, regardless of machine speed. Which speed is more ecomical?
A. Speed B, 0.096/pc
B Speed B, 0.087/pc
C. Speed A, .054/pc
D. Speed A >037/pc
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. How do you allocate labor to balance the flow in your department if you work a 10 hour shift? Do not assume breaks or lunches in your answer. Redirect 1: You now need to process all of the Pack Singles Volume in the first 5…

- A machine tool company conducts a job-training programme at a ratio of one for everyten trainees. The training programme lasts for one month. From past experience it has been found thatout of 10 trainees hired, only seven complete the programme successfully. (The unsuccessful traineesare released). Trained machinists are also needed for machining. The company's requirement for thenext three months is as follows:January: 100 machinists, February: 150 machinists and March: 200 machinists.In addition, the company requires 250 trained machinists by April. There are 130 trained machinistsavailable at the beginning of the year. Pay roll cost per month is:Each trainee Rs. 400/- per month.Each trained machinist (machining or teaching): Rs. 700/- p.m.Each trained machinist who is idle: Rs.500/- p.m.(Labour union forbids ousting trained machinists). Build a l.p.p. for produce the minimum costhiring and training schedule and meet the company’s requirement.arrow_forwardPlearrow_forwardConsider a two-step process that handles three types of customers. Each resourceis staffed by one employee. Type 1 customers spend 5 minutes at resource 1 and 2 minutesat resource 2. Type 2 customers also spend 5 minutes at resource 1, but spend 10 minutes atresource 2. Finally, type 3 customers spend no time at resource 1 and 8 minutes at resource2. Each hour, the demand is 10 customers of type 1, 4 customers of type 2, and 2 customers oftype 3. Where in the process is the bottleneck? What is the flow rate for each customer type?arrow_forward
- During an eight-hour shift, 750 non-defective parts are desired as a result of a manufacturing operation. The default operation time is 15 minutes. As the operators of machine are inexperienced, the actual time they take to perform the operation is 20 minutes, and, on average, a fifth of the parts that start to be manufactured are lost. Assuming that each one of the machines used in this operation will not be available for one hour in each shift, determine the number of machines needed.arrow_forwardA car wash offers two different types of wash services, deluxe wash and standard wash. The deluxe wash require(s) three steps: pre-wash, wash and dry. The standard wash only require(s) two steps: wash and dry. The pre-wash step has a capacity of 7 cars per hour. The wash step has a capacity of 11 cars per hour. The dry step has a capacity of 10 cars per hour. The demand for deluxe wash is 7 cars per hour and the demand for standard wash is 11 cars per hour.

- Joan has a small design and tailoring shop making custom outfits for women. She has two employees. Each employee only begins working on a dress when a customer order has been received and then she makes the dress from beginning to end. The average production time of a dress is 1.8 days, with a standard deviation of 2.1 days. Historically, Joan has been receiving orders with interarrival times of one day on average. The interarrival times of orders have a coefficient of variation of one. (Carry at least 4 decimal places in all intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) What is the expected waiting time, in days, between when an order is received and when production begins on the dress?

- A factory has two stations, station X and station Y. There are two different types of units, flow units A, and flow units B. The table below includes details about how long each unit type spends at each station: Flow Unit A Flow Unit B Station X 6 min 5 min Station Y 15 min 4 min The demand rate: Flow units A: 10 units per hour. Flow units B: 15 units per hour There are 4 machines at station X and 2 machine at station Y. What is the flow rate for unit B?arrow_forwardA company produces motor cycle seats. The company has two production lines. The production rate for line one is 50 seats per hour and for line two it is 60 seats per hour. The company has entered into a contract to supply1200 seats daily to another company. Currently, the normal operation period for each line is 8 hours. The production manager 4 | P a g eof the company is trying to determine the best daily operation hours for the two lines. He sets the priorities to achieve his goals as given below:- P1: produce and deliver 1200 seats daily- P2: limit the daily overtime operation hours of line one to 3 hours- P3: Limit the daily overtime operation hours of line two to 4 hours Formulate the problem as a GP model and then solve it by using graphical methodarrow_forwardAn order for 200 units of a product is processed on work centers A and B. The set up time on A is 45 minutes and the run time is 5 minutes per piece. The set up time on B is 40 minutes and the run time is 8 minutes per piece. The wait time between the two operations is 2 hours. The move time between A and B is 15 minutes. Wait time after operation B is 1 hour and the move time into stores is 50 minutes. There is no queue at either work station. Calculate the total manufacturing lead time for the order.arrow_forward
