A company manufactures hair dryers. It buys some of the components, but it makes the heating elements, which it can produce at the rate of 800 per day. Hair dryers are assembled daily, 250 days a year, at a rate of 300 per day. Because of the disparity between the production and usage rates, the heating elements are periodically produced in batches of 2,000 units.
Approximately how many batches of heating elements are produced annually?
If production on a batch begins when there is no inventory of heating elements on hand, how much inventory will be on hand two days later?
The same equipment that is used to make the heating elements could also be used to make a component for another of the firm’s products. That job would require four days, including setup. Setup time for making a batch of heating elements is a half day. Is there enough time to do this job between productions of batches of heating elements? Explain.
. A commercial orchard grows, picks, and packs apples and pears. A peck (quarter bushel) of apples takes 4 minutes to pick and 5 minutes to pack; a peck of pears takes 5 minutes to pick and 4 minutes to pack. Only one picker and one packer are available. How many pecks each of apples and pears should be picked and packet every hour (60 minutes) if the profit is $3/peck for apples and $2/peck for pears? Solve graphically as a linear program and confirm analytically.

- Dairy company SG is producing milk at a fixed rate of 5,000 gallons/hour. The total customer order over a day is 100,000 gallons of milk. This demand is distributed evenly from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. If there is no milk available, customers will wait until enough is produced to satisfy your orders. The company starts to produce at 8 am with 25,000 gallons in finished goods inventory. In the end, after that all the demand has been met, the plant continues producing until the stock of products finished is restored to 25,000 gallons. When answering the following questions, please address the trucks / milk as a continuous flow process. Start by drawing a graphic indicating how much milk is in stock and how much milk is “on hold” throughout the day. a) At what time of day will customers have to wait for their orders to be filled? b) At what time will customers stop waiting? c) Suppose the milk is collected in trucks with a capacity of 1,250 gallons each.

Material B is consumed at a steady, known rate over the company's planning horizon of one year; the current usage is 4000 units per annum. The costs of ordering B are invariant with respect to order size; clerical costs of ordering have been calculated at $30 per order. Each order is checked by an employee engaged in using B in production who earns $8 per hour irrespective of his output. The employee generates a contribution of $1 per hour when not involve in material checks and the stock check takes five hours. Holding costs amount to $15 per unit per annum. The supplier of material B has very recently offered Wagtail Ltd a quantity discount of $0.24 a unit on the current price of $24, for all orders of 400 or more units. a.explain how uncertainties in materials usage and lead time may be incorporated into the analysis.arrow_forward
