Please solve all part and do not give solution in image format thanku The M-N plant manufactures two different products: M and N. Selling prices and weekly market demands are shown in the followingdiagram. Each product uses raw materials with costs as shown. The plant has three different machines: A, B, and C. Each performsdifferent tasks and can work on only one unit of material at a time.Resources: A, B, C (one each)Availability: 3,000 min./weekOperating expense: $12,000/weekProduct M$190/unit110 units/week15 min./unit20 min/unitRM-1$60/unitProduct N$200/unit50 units/week15 min./unitB15 min/unitRM-2$40/unit15 min./unit/RM-3$40/unitProcess times for each task are shown in the diagram. Each machine is available 3,000 minutes per week. There are no "Murphys"(major opportunities for the system to foul up). Setup and transfer times are zero, Demand is constant.Operating expenses (including labor) total a constant $12,000 per week. Raw materials are not included in weekly operating expenses. a.

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 correct
A garment manufacturing has already finishedgarments to iron/press in order to prepare for selling them in the market. There aretwo kinds of garments, namely: poloshirt and t-shirts. Poloshirt is to be sold atP200 per piece while t-shirt at P50 each. Ironing/pressing one piece of polotshirttakes 30 minutes while t-shirt takes 12 minutes. The owner of the garment factoryhas a total of 7 finishing workers, who each works 8 hours per day. Four (4) ofwhich are assigned as pressers and three (3) as packagers. For one day, theowner would like to maximize his profit.Using linear programming, determine how many pieces of poloshirts and howmany pieces of t-shirts should be sold in the market in day in order to maximizethe profit. In line with your answer on the number of pieces of poloshirts andnumber of pieces of t-shirts to be sold in the market, compute for the profit.Select the best answer from the choices enumerated below.You may use linear equations and/or inequalities to arrive at the…
A.J.’s Wildlife Emporium manufactures two unique birdfeeders (Deluxe and Super Duper) that are manufactured and assembled in up to three different workstations (X, Y, Z) using a small batch process. Each of the products is produced according to the flowchart in Figure. Additionally, the flowchart indicates each product’s price, weekly demand, and processing times per unit. Batch setup times are negligible.A.J. can make and sell up to the limit of its weekly demand and there are no penalties for not being able to meet all of the demand. Each workstation is staffed by a worker who is dedicated to work on that workstation alone and is paid $16 per hour. The plant operates 40 hours per week, with no overtime. Overhead costs are $2,000 per week. Based on the information provided, as well as the information contained in the flowchart, answer the following questions. a. Using the traditional method, which bases decisions solely on a product’s contribution to profits and overhead, what is the…
A work cell at Chris Ellis Commercial Laundry hasa workstation with two machines, and each unit produced at thestation needs to be processed by both of the machines. (The sameunit cannot be worked on by both machines simultaneously.)Each machine has a production capacity of 4 un its per hour.What is the throughput time of the work cell?
The first station can process a unit in 10 minutes First Station capacity = 60/10 = 6 units per hour As the second station has 2 identical machines in parallel, each of which can process a unit in 12 minutes. Each unit needs to be processed on one of the two machines. Second Station Capacity = 60 x 2/12 = 10 units per hour The third station can process a unit in 8 minutes Third Station capacity = 60/8 = 7.5 units per hour What is the hourly capacity of this production line?
The Sun River beverage company is a regional producer of teas, exotic juices, and energy drinks. With an interest in healthier lifestyles, there has been an increase in demand for its sugar-free formulation. The final packing operation requires 13 tasks. Sun River bottles its sugar-free product 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. Each week, there is a demand for 3,000 bottles of this product.

Cycle Time and Velocity, MCE Computador has a manufacturing plant in Des Moines that has the theoretical capability to produce 253,000 laptops per quarter but currently produces 75,900 units. The conversion cost per quarter is $9,108,000. There are 63,250 production hours available within the plant per quarter. In addition to the processing minutes per unit used, the production of the laptops uses 8 minutes of move time, 22 minutes of wait time, and 5 minutes of rework time. (All work is done by cell workers.) Required: 1. Compute the theoretical and actual velocities (per hour) and the theoretical and actual cycle times (minutes per unit produced). If required, round to one decimal place.

In addition to wedding photos, Fotomemeories has an additional major operations in taking for photos for passports and visas for multiple countries consulated on the block of the courthouse. For all photography efforts, their current crew of photographers can provide at most 400 Total hours of labor per month and can process at most 10 photos per hour. The wedding space is only available for 250 hours. A photographer can photograph 20 wedding couples per hour. Photographers can only process passport and visa photos at a rate of 10 per hour. Wedding photos earn a revenue of 5 per wedding photo and each passport or visa gets a revenue of 3 per photo. Let W be the number of wedding photos in one month and let P be the number of passport and visa photos produced in a month. Using decision variables, formulate a linear program to maximize revenue.
