- 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…XYZ 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.

The operation is a batch process with small setup times that can be considered negligible. The product information (price, weekly demand, and processing times) and process sequences are shown below. Purchased parts and raw materials (shown as a per-unit consumption rate) are represented by inverted triangles. YPI is able to make and sell up to the limit of its demand per week with no penalties incurred for not meeting the full demand. Each workstation is staffed by one highly skilled worker who is dedicated to working on that workstation alone and is paid $15 per hour. The plant operates one 8-hour shift per day and operates on a 5-day work week (i.e., 40 hours of production per person per week). Overhead costs are $9,000/week. Which of the four workstations, W, X, Y, or Z has the highest aggregate workload, and thus…
