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.

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…

Typically, out of the 100 guitars that begin production each month, only 82 percent are considered good enough to sell. The other 18 percent are scrapped due to quality problems that are identified after they have completed the production process. Each guitar sells for $240. Because some of the production process is automated, each guitar only requires 10 labor hours. Each employee works an average of 160 hours per month.
