Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 16P
Refer to Example 3. Suppose that regular-time capacity will be reduced to 440 units in period 3 to accommodate a companywide safety inspection of equipment. What will the additional cost of the optimal plan be as compared to the one shown in Example 3? Assume all costs and quantities are the same as given in Example 3 except for the regular-time output in period 3. Solve by modifying Table 11.6.

The three capacity planning methods and capacity requirements planning (CRP), load work centers vertically Without regard to work center capacities (called infinite capacity planning). Advanced planning and scheduling systems (APS) load work centers horizontally recognizing work center capacities (using finite capacity planning) order by order. Briefly describe how a new order would be loaded/scheduled using horizontal loading.
Chase capacity strategy is a reactive strategy in which a company tries to alter its capacity using several opitions like hire/lay off workers, subcontracting and others:
a. True
b. False

- The Donald Fertilizer Company produces industrial chemical fertilizers. The projected manufacturing requirements (in thousands of gallons) for the next four quarters are 80, 50, 80, and 130, respectively. A level workforce is desired, relying only on anticipation inventory as a supply option. Stockouts and backorders are to be avoided, as are overtime and undertime.a. Determine the quarterly production rate required to meet total demand for the year, and minimize the anticipation inventory that would be left over at the end of the year. Beginning inventory is zero.b. Specify the anticipation inventory that will be produced.c. Suppose that the requirements for the next four quarters are revised to 80, 130, 50, and 80, respectively.

For one flight segment, the average number of customers per day is 70, which represents a 65 percent utilization rate of the equipment assigned to the flight segment. If demand is expected to increase to 80 customers for this flight segment in three years, what capacity requirement should be planned? Assume that management deems that a capacity cushion of 20 percent is appropriate. what the needed capacity requirement is ----------- customers per day.

Credit representativesanswer customer calls and provide information. Based on demandpatterns, the estimated number of representatives needed duringfour-hour time periods of each day are shown in the table. Employees work shift s of eight consecutive hours, and shift scan start at the beginning of any of the six periods shown inthe table. Assume this schedule will be repeated day aft er day,so that someone starting at 8 pm will contribute to the need forrepresentatives in the midnight–4 am time period.

- Helter Industries, a company that produces a line of women’s bathing suits, hires temporaries to help produce its summer product demand. For the current four-month rolling schedule, there are three temps on staff and 12 full-time employees. The temps can be hired when needed and can be used as needed, whereas the full-time employees must be paid whether they are needed or not. Each full-time employee can produce 205 suits, while each temporary employee can produce 165 suits per month. May June July August3,200 2,800 3,100 3,000 The beginning inventory in May is 403 bathing suits. Bathing suits cost $40 to produce and carrying cost is 24 percent per year. Develop an aggregate plan that uses the 12 full-time employees each month and a minimum number of temporary employees. Assume that all employees will produce at their full potential each month.…arrow_forward____ range capacity planning requires adjustments to eliminate variations between planned and actual output a.

- The White Tooth Device Company is a manufacturer of high-end electric toothbrushes. For each toothbrush, there is a sequence of assembly steps performed by five workers. Each worker does two tasks. Inventory buffers are allowed between workers. (a) What is the capacity and cycle time of this process? (b) What is the idle time of each worker if the process operates at full capacity? (c) Suppose two workers could be hired, F and G, and they take the same time to complete tasks as the current five workers. F and G can be assigned to work on the same pair of tasks as one of the current workers. For example, F could be assigned tasks T1 and T2 (just like worker A) while G is assigned T5 and T6 (just like worker C). They cannot be assigned tasks that are currently assigned to two workers. For example, F cannot be assigned to tasks T2 and T3 (because they are currently being done by workers A and B). What is the capacity of this process with workers F and G included?arrow_forwardTrue or False: "Capacity planning is concerned with determining the maximum output an organization can achieve within a given period."arrow_forwardBecause of its labor contract, a company must hire enough labor for 100 units ofproduction per week on one shift or 200 units per week on two shifts. It cannot hire,lay off, or assign overtime. During the fourth week, workers will be available fromanother department to work part or all of an extra shift (up to 100 units). There is aplanned shutdown for maintenance in the second week, which will cut production tohalf. Develop a production plan. The opening inventory is 200 units, and the desiredending inventory is 300 unitsarrow_forward
