Canine Kernels Company (CKC) manufactures two different types of dog chew toys (A and B, sold in 1,000-count boxes) that are manufactured and assembled on three different workstations (W, X, and Y) using a small-batch process (see Figure). Batch setup times are negligible. The flowchart denotes the path each product follows through the manufacturing process, and each product’s price, demand per week, and processing times per unit are indicated as well. Purchased parts and raw materials consumed during production are represented by inverted triangles. CKC can make and sell up to the limit of its demand per week; no penalties are incurred for not being able to meet all the demand. Each workstation is staffed by a worker who is dedicated to work on that workstation alone, and is paid $6 per hour. Total labor costs per week are fixed. Variable overhead costs are $3,500/week. The plant operates one 8-hour shift per day, or 40 hours/week. Which of the three workstations, W, X, or Y, has the…

- XYZ company provides labor and space for the manufacturing and assembly operations and stocking various inventory items for production such as wire, cables, some electronic components, etc. XYZ company orders a variety of components and raw materials by contract. The company recently hired 100 part-time employees working four to six-hour shifts. Skilled employees must do several raw material conversions for packaging—there are currently three (3) such employees. The plant layout is a typical process layout - machines of similar types are located together. Each machine and employee must be scheduled over the day and the standard time period for planning is one (1) hour. Material handling is mainly done manually, although the company would like to consider conveyors or other automation to aid in automating their processes. XYZ company forecasts planned production for two (2) years on a rolling quarterly basis. Often, the customer changes the forecast, and these changes can occur as…arrow_forwardThe figure below details the process flow for two types of customers who enter Barbara's Boutique shop for customized dress alterations.

- The following flow chart shows the entire manufacturing process at KD Manufacturing, which consists of six independent operations processes (i.e. sawing, sanding, drilling, reshaping, welding, and assembly). The entire process flow starts with the input of three different parts, Part I, Part II and Part III, each entering a different input line. Three parts meet later for the welding, whichever welding station is available (two identical welding stations work independently). After welding is completed, the product is sent to one of the three assembly stations (which are in parallel). The chart also shows the processing time per unit (in minutes) for each operation. Each of sawing, sanding, drilling and reshaping stations is handled by a different worker. Two workers handle welding, each at one welding station. Another three workers handle the assembly process independently, one at each assembly station. To improve the capacity of the entire manufacturing process, the manager decides to…arrow_forwardSteel City Juice is a local company that makes two kinds of juice: orange juice and apple juice.Demand for orange juice is 60 barrels/hr, while demand for apple juice is 40 barrels/hr. The company only has one machine to extract juice from raw fruit. The machine can extract orange juice at a speed of 150 barrels/hr, or apple juice at 120 barrels/hr. Switching from one type to the other requires 30 minutes cleanup time.Please provide a production schedule and an associated process flow diagram that (i) cycles repeatedly through the two kinds, (ii) meets the required demand, and (iii) minimizes the amount of inventory held.
