Four automobiles have entered Bubba’s Repair Shop for various types of work, ranging from a transmis-sion overhaul to a brake job. The experience level of the mechanics is quite varied, and Bubba would liketo minimize the time required to complete all of thejobs. He has estimated the time in minutes for eachmechanic to complete each job. Billy can completejob 1 in 400 minutes, job 2 in 90 minutes, job 3 in60 minutes, and job 4 in 120 minutes. Taylor willfinish job 1 in 650 minutes, job 2 in 120 minutes, job3 in 90 minutes, and job 4 in 180 minutes. Mark willfinish job 1 in 480 minutes, job 2 in 120 minutes, job3 in 80 minutes, and job 4 in 180 minutes. John willcomplete job 1 in 500 minutes, job 2 in 110 minutes,job 3 in 90 minutes, and job 4 in 150 minutes. Eachmechanic should be assigned to just one of these jobs.What is the minimum total time required to finish thefour jobs? Who should be assigned to each job?
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…
The Gardner Theater, a community playhouse, needs to determine the lowest-cost production budget for an upcoming show. Specifically, they have to determine which set pieces to construct and which, if any, set pieces to rent from another local theater at a predetermined fee. However, the organization has only two weeks to fully construct the set before the play goes into technical rehearsals. The theater has two part-time carpenters who work up to 12 hours a week, each at $10 an hour. Additionally, the theater has a part-time scenic artist who can work 15 hours per week to paint the set and props as needed at a rate of $15 per hour. The set design requires 20 flats (walls), two hanging drops with painted scenery, and three large wooden tables (props). The number of hours required for each piece for carpentry and painting is shown below: Gardner Theater Hours Required/Piece Carpentry Painting Flats 0.5 2.0 Hanging Drops 2.0 12.0 Props 3.0 4.0 Hours Available 48.0…
pls be quick !! The operations manager of an assembly and paint shop has five trucks to schedule for repair. He would like to minimize the throughput time (makespan) to complete all work on these cars. Each truck requires assembly prior to painting. The estimates of the times required to do the assembly and paint work on each are as follows: Truck Assembly (Hours) Paint (Hours) A 7 10 B 9 3 C 8 7 D 4 4 E 12 5 Use Johnson's rule to sequence these five jobs for minimum total duration. Show your step by step work in determining the job sequence and calculate the total duration of finishing assembly and painting operations on all the five trucks.
Baking dog treats in her kitchen has been a simple process for Emma to manage. She has two ovens, one sink, a refrigerator, and enough room for two people to work at the same time. However, when Emma moves her business out of her home, she will have a commercial kitchen that can accommodate as many as six people working simultaneously. She had never thought of her business as “production” until the real estate agent who showed her the space asked how many production workers she needs to accommodate. At that point, Emma realized she would be running a production system. Even worse, she realized that she had never even visited a manufacturing facility or set foot on a real production floor. How will she ever manage this process?
