Barbara and Jenny’s Ice Cream Company produces four different flavors of icecream: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and peanut fudge. Each batch of ice cream isproduced in the same large vat, which must be cleaned prior to switching flavors.One day is required for the cleaning process.At the current time they have the following outstanding orders of ice cream:Flavor Order Size (gallons) Due DateVanilla 385 3Chocolate 440 8Strawberry 200 6Peanut fudge 180 12 It takes one day to produce the ice cream and a maximum of 100 gallons canbe produced at one time. Cleaning is required only when flavors are switched. Theproduction for one flavor will be completed prior to beginning production for anotherflavor. Cleaning is always started at the beginning of a day.Treating each ice cream flavor as a different job, find the following:a. The sequence in which the ice cream flavors should be produced in order to minimize the mean flow time for all of the flavors.b. The optimal sequence to produce the…

Please can u answer this true and false 1. The design capacity is often lower than the effective capacity. 2. To improve efficiency firms should train employees and correct quality problems. 3. Mass Customization processes are low volume and low variety 4. Process Strategies have long-term effects on efficiency and production flexibility 5. Continuous processes are high volume but a low variety of products. 6. Modules are parts or components of a product previously prepared, often in a continuous process. 7. Effective capacity is the number of units a facility can hold, receive, store, or produce ha pers 8. Utilization is the theoretical maximum output of a system in a given period under idea conctions
Furniture Face Lift refinishes old wood furniture. Their process for refinishing chairs has 9 workers and 4 stations. Each chair starts at the Stripping station, then goes to Priming, then to Painting and finally to Inspection. Where there are multiple workers within a station, each worker works independently on his/her own chair. Assume inventory buffers are allowed between each station. Station Staffing Processing time (hours per chair per worker) Stripping 3 2.5 Priming 2 1.5 Painting 3 1.75 Inspection 1 0.8 A truck loaded with 10 chairs arrives. How many hours will it take them to complete these 10 chairs?(The accuracy should be of two digits after the decimal places.)
This type of problem can be recognized when an order interval is given (e.g.,inventory is ordered every 10 days) along with the demand rate, lead time, and quantity on hand atorder time. A lab orders a number of chemicals from the same supplier every 30 days. Lead time is five days.The assistant manager of the lab must determine how much of one of these chemicals to order. Acheck of stock revealed that eleven 25-milliliter (ml) jars are on hand. Daily usage of the chemical isapproximately normal with a mean of 15.2 ml per day and a standard deviation of 1.6 ml per day. Thedesired service level for this chemical is 95 percent.a. How many jars of the chemical should be ordered?b. What is the average amount of safety stock of the chemical?
A company produces two products: A and B. Prod-uct A sells for $11 per unit and product B sells for $23 per unit. Producing a unit of product A requires two hours on assembly line 1 and one unit of raw ma-terial. Producing a unit of product B requires two units of raw material, one unit of A, and two hours on as-sembly line 2. On line 1, 1300 hours of time are avail-able, and 500 hours are available on line 2. A unit of raw material can be bought (for $5 a unit) or produced(at no cost) by using two hours of time on line 1.a. Determine how to maximize profit.b. The company will stop buying raw material whenthe price of raw material exceeds what value? (UseSolverTable.)
1. A company produces three different products; x,y, and z. For the production of 1 unit of product x, 1 unit of A and 1 unit of B are used as input. 1 unit of A and 2 units of B are used to produce 1 unit of product y. To produce 1 unit of product z, only 1 unit of A is used. The company holds 40 units of A and 20 units of B periodically in total. By the way, the company can not produce product y more than the twice of product z. On the other hand, the sale price of 1 unit of product x is 10 TL, product y is 15 TL and product z is 12 TL. Furthermore, the cost of 1 unit of product x is 8 TL, product y is 9 TL and product z is 7 TL. According to above information, what should be the company’s optimal product mix to maximize its profit? Construct the problem as a LP model. 2. Solve the above problem by using Simplex Method. 3.

The seasonal yield of olives in a Piraeus, Greece, vineyard is greatly influenced by a process of branch pruning. If olive trees are pruned every two weeks, output is increased. The pruning process, however, requires considerably more labor than permitting the olives to grow on their own and results in a smaller size olive. It also, though, permits olive trees to be spaced closer together. The yield of 1 barrel of olives by pruning requires 5 hours of labor and 1 acre of land. The production of a barrel of olives by the normal process requires only 2 labor hours but takes 2 acres of land. An olive grower has 250 hours of labor available and a total of 150 acres for growing. Because of the olive size difference, a barrel of olives produced on pruned trees sells for $20, whereas a barrel of regular olives has a market price of $30. The grower has determined that because of uncertain demand, no more than 40 barrels of pruned olives should be produced. Use graphical LP to find (a) the…

You work for a small shipping company and warehouse. The owners have decided to update the software used for tracking, shipping, receiving, and inventory. Fifteen computers need to be updated. Hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Each computer must be updated manually by one of two trained employees, both of whom must be borrowed from other managers. The update procedure consumes 4 hours of the updater's time and generates an additional 1.5 hours of computer downtime. The work must be performed at a central loading station, away from the current location of the computer. How does the project portfolio management approach lead to enhanced strategic management for an organization and give an example how you woulduse this in a work place?
