- XYZ company provides labor and space for the manufacturing and assembly operations and stocking various inventory items for production such as wire, cables, some electronic components, etc. XYZ company orders a variety of components and raw materials by contract. The company recently hired 100 part-time employees working four to six-hour shifts. Skilled employees must do several raw material conversions for packaging—there are currently three (3) such employees. The plant layout is a typical process layout - machines of similar types are located together. Each machine and employee must be scheduled over the day and the standard time period for planning is one (1) hour. Material handling is mainly done manually, although the company would like to consider conveyors or other automation to aid in automating their processes. XYZ company forecasts planned production for two (2) years on a rolling quarterly basis. Often, the customer changes the forecast, and these changes can occur as…2-The process of making hotdogs involves six activities: “grind”, “mix”, “stuff”, “cook”, “peel”, and “inspect”. If the capacity of activity “cook” determines the process capacity, which of the following statements are true? a- Activity “cook” is a bottleneck activity. b- The activity time of all the other five activities is shorter than activity "cook". c- Cycle time of the process of making hotdogs is equal=1/capacity of activity “cook”. d- Increasing the capacity of activity “grind” can increase the capacity of the process of making hotdogs. All statements are correct Only statement 'b' is correct Only statements 'a' and 'b' are correct Only statements 'a', 'b' and 'c' are correct Only statement 'a' is correct Only statement 'd' is correctXYZ company provides labor and space for the manufacturing and assembly operations and stocking a variety of inventory items for production such as wire, cables, some electronic components, etc. XYZ company orders a variety of components and raw materials by contract.

A batch includes a fixed setup time for the entire batch at each process step and a run time for each piece in the batch. Both large and small tables have the same processing times. The capacities of each process step are given, and apply to production of either type of table, as shown in the flowchart.a. What is the capacity of the system, and what is the bottleneck?b. What are the throughput times for batches of large and small tables?c. When producing at a rate of six small tables per hour on average, how many tables will be in the system?Tailwind, Inc., produces high-quality but expensive training shoes for runners. The Tailwindshoe, which sells for $210, contains both gas- and liquid-filled compartments to provide morestability and better protection against knee, foot, and back injuries. Manufacturing the shoesrequires 10 separate tasks. There are 400 minutes available for manufacturing the shoes inthe plant each day. Daily demand is 60. The information for the tasks is as follows: Task Performance Time (In minutes) Task Must Follow This task A 1 ___ B 3 A C 2 B D 4 B E 1 C.D F 3 A G 2 F H 5 G I 1 E,H J 3/25 I 1. What is the theoretical minimum number of work stations required to satisfy this output rate? 2. Allocate the tasks to work stations taking into consideration the precedence requirements and usingthe LOT rule to break ties between feasible tasks.For the four basic configurations that follow, assume that the market is demanding product that must be processed by both Resource X and Resource Y for Cases I, II, and III. For Case IV, both resources supply separate but dependent markets; that is, the number of units of output from both X and Y must be equal. Plans are being made to produce a product that requires 40 minutes on Resource X and 30 minutes on Resource Y. Assume that there is only one of each of these resources and that market demand is 1,500 units per month. The only one I got right was B Case I :(
- A linear programming computer package is needed. EZ-Windows, Inc., manufactures replacement windows for the home remodeling business. In January, the company produced 15,000 windows and ended the month with 9,000 windows in inventory. EZ-Windows' management team would like to develop a production schedule for the next three months. A smooth production schedule is obviously desirable because it maintains the current workforce and provides a similar month-to-month operation. However, given the sales forecasts, the production capacities, and the storage capabilities as shown, the management team does not think a smooth production schedule with the same production quantity each month possible. February March April Sales forecast 15,000 16,500 20,000 Production capacity 14,000 14,000 18,000 Storage capacity 6,000 6,000 6,000 The company's cost accounting department estimates that increasing production by one window from one month to the next will increase total costs by $1.00…A linear programming computer package is needed.

- Formtech Inc. produces transformers. Each order is custom designed and manufactured for the customer. Each order goes through 3 phases: Transformer Design, which takes 4 weeks. Procurement, which has a lead time of 8 weeks. Assembly and Testing, which takes 4 weeks The design group can handle only 4 projects at any given time. The other groups are not capacity constrained. How much total work-in-process (number of projects started but not yet completed) does the company typically have? (Hint: Little's Law)(Please do not give solution in image format thanku) Develope a 3 level work breakdwon structure (including level 1,2 and 3) the work break down structure is based on the following project. Improving Customer Service Response Time for a clothing company. additional informationa can be added to the work break down struture to create the different levels The motivation behind this project is to improve customer satisfaction by reducing response time for customer service inquiries. Currently, customers are waiting an average of 48 hours to receive a response to their inquiries, resulting in frustration and dissatisfaction. By implementing a new customer service ticketing system and training customer service agents on effective communication and problem-solving techniques, response time can be reduced to 24 hours or less.True or False: In the Theory of Constraints (TOC), the primary goal is to optimize individual processes within an organization rather than focusing on the overall system's performance.
