Draw the process flow.b. Where would you locate buffer inventories?c. Where would you place inspection points?d. Where would you stress the importance of quality production?
Product A is assembled from two units of S1 and threeunits of S2. S1 is made of one unit of C1, four units of C2,and one unit of C3. S2 is made of three units of C2 and twounits of C3.a. Draw a product structure diagram for product A.b. How many C3’s are needed to fill an order for 100 A’s?c. Assume no inventory on hand, products take one day toassemble, subassemblies take two days and components take three days. When should an order be released for C3 if the 100 A’s are needed by day 7?
Klassen Toy Company, Inc., assembles two parts(parts I and 2): Part I is first processed at workstation A for15 minutes per unit and then processed at workstation B for330 PART 2 DESIGNING OPERATIONS10 minutes per unit. Part 2 is simultaneously processed at workstationC for 20 minutes per unit. Workstations B and C feed theparts to an assembler at workstation D, where the two parts areassembled. The time at workstation Dis 15 minutes.a) What is the bottleneck of this process?b) What is the hourly capacity of the process?
Your boss at Xiangling Hu Products, Inc., has just provided you with the schedule and lead times for the bracket. The unit is to be prepared in week 10. The lead times for the components a re bracket (I week), base (1 week), spring ( I week), clamp (I week), housing (2 weeks), handle (I week), casting (3 weeks), bearing (I week), and shaft (1 week).a) Prepare the time-phased product structure for the bracket.b) In what week do you need to start the castings?
Canine Kernels Company (CKC) manufactures two differenttypes of dog chew toys (A and B, sold in 1,000-count boxes)that are manufactured and assembled on three differentworkstations (W, X, and Y) using a small-batch process (seeFigure 5.12). Batch setup times are negligible. The flowchartdenotes the path each product follows through the manu-facturing process, and each product’s price, demand perweek, and processing times per unit are indicated as well.Purchased parts and raw materials consumed during pro-duction are represented by inverted triangles. CKC can makeand sell up to the limit of its demand per week; no penaltiesare incurred for not being able to meet all the demand. Eachworkstation is staffed by a worker who is dedicated to workon that workstation alone, and is paid $6 per hour. Totallabor costs per week are fixed. Variable overhead costs are$3,500/week. The plant operates one 8-hour shift per day, or40 hours/week. Which of the three workstations, W, X, or Y,has the highest…

Product A is assembled from one B and two C’s. Each itemrequires one or more operations, as indicated by the circles in the product structure diagram. Assume lead time is neg-ligible. From the information given: a. Develop a load profile chart for each of the three workcenters.b. Level the loads. Discuss possible consequences ofshifting work to other periods.
As the production planner for Xiangling Hu Products, Inc., you have been given a bill of material for a bracket that is made up of a base, 2 springs, and 3 clamps. The base is assembled from 1 clamp and 2 housings. Each clamp has 1 handle and 1 casting. Each housing has 2 bearings and 2 shafts. There is no inventory on hand. This exercise contains only parts b and c.

Francis Johnson’s plant needs to design an efficient assembly line to make a new product. The assembly line needs to produce 15 units per hour, and there is room for only four workstations. The tasks and the order in which they must be performed are shown in the following table. Tasks cannot be split, and it would be too expensive to duplicate any task. TASK TASK TIME (MINUTES) IMMEDIATE PREDECESSOR A 1 — B 2 — C 3 — D 1 A, B, C E 3 C F 2 E G 3 E What is the workstation cycle time required to produce 15 units per hour? Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place. Balance the line to use the fewest possible workstations to meet the cycle time found in part (b). Use whatever method you feel is appropriate. What is the efficiency of your line balance, assuming the line operates at the cycle time from part (b)? Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place.
