Q9. Consider a production system of a factory in which group technology is tried to apply. Groups are planned to include 4 machines however, it is not allowed to assign more than one F Machine in a single group because of the physical constraints. Utilizations are given in the table. Using single pass heuristic approach, construct a set of groups. Write the parts and machines assigned to each group. Is your solution optimal?

Consider the market depicted in the graph and assume the government imposes a price floor of P2. At P2, 150 units of the good are supplied (wish to be sold) and 50 units of the good are demanded (wish to be bought). Choose the correct ones: Without an enforcement mechanism, the effect of a binding price floor will be negligible because it will simply be ignored because buyers and sellers enrich themselves by trading below the floor price. With an enforcement mechanism, the effect of a binding price floor may still be negligible if the enforcement mechanism is easy to evade or doesn't impose a significant penalty for selling below the price floor. Without an enforcement mechanism, the effect of a binding price floor will be negligible because it will simply be ignored because buyers and sellers enrich themselves by trading above the floor price.

Three components are connected to form a system asshown in the accompanying diagram. Because the componentsin the 2–3 subsystem are connected in parallel, thatsubsystem will function if at least one of the two individualcomponents functions. For the entire system to function,component 1 must function and so must the 2–3 subsystem. The experiment consists of determining the condition ofeach component [S (success) for a functioning componentand F (failure) for a nonfunctioning component].a. Which outcomes are contained in the event A thatexactly two out of the three components function?b. Which outcomes are contained in the event B that atleast two of the components function?c. Which outcomes are contained in the event C that thesystem functions?d. List outcomes in C9, A ø C, A ù C, B ø C, andB ù C.

Suppose a certain manufacturing company produces connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylinder automobile engines using the same production line. The cost required to set up the production line to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods is $2,200, and the cost required to set up the production line for the 6-cylinder connecting rods is $3,300. Manufacturing costs are $12 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $16 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod. Hawkins makes a decision at the end of each week as to which product will be manufactured the following week. If a production changeover is necessary from one week to the next, the weekend is used to reconfigure the production line. Once the line has been set up, the weekly production capacities are 6,000 6-cylinder connecting rods and 8,000 4-cylinder connecting rods. Let x4 = the number of 4-cylinder connecting rods produced next week x6 = the number of 6-cylinder connecting rods produced next week s4 = 1 if the production line is set up to…

A major hotel chain is constructing a new resort hotel complex in Greenbranch Springs, WestVirginia. The resort is in a heavily wooded area, and the developers want to preserve as much ofthe natural beauty as possible. To do so, the developers want to connect all the various facilitiesin the complex with a combination walking–riding path that will minimize the amount of pathwaythat will have to be cut through the woods. The following network shows possible connectingpaths and corresponding distances (in yards) between the facilities: Determine the path that will connect all the facilities with the minimum amount of constructionand indicate the total length of the pathway.
