One hundred twenty units of end item Z are needed at the beginning of week 7. Prepare a material requirements plan for component C. Take into account that on hand there are 40 units of Z,70 units of A, 100 units of B, and 30 units of C. Also, there is a scheduled receipt of 20 units ofcomponent C in week 4. Lead times are two weeks for Z and B, and one week for the other components. Lot-for-lot ordering will be used for all items b. Ninety-five units of end item E are needed at the beginning of week 7. Prepare a material requirements plan for component D. Take into account that 5 units of E are currently on hand, as well as50 units of B, 100 units of C, and 80 units of D. Also, 30 units of C have been outsourced and areexpected to arrive in week 4. Lead times are two weeks for E and C, and one week for the othercomponents.

The most recent order has been for 1200 door lock units for an apartment complex developer. The sales and production departments must work together to determine delivery schedules. Each lock unit consists of three components: the knob and faceplate, the actual lock itself, and a set of two keys. Although the processes used in the manufacture of the three components vary, there are three areas where the production manager is concerned about the availability of resources. These three areas, their usage by the three components, and their availability are detailed in the table.

- Francis Johnson’s plant needs to design an efficient assembly line to make a new product. The assembly line needs to produce 15 units per hour, and there is room for only four workstations. The tasks and the order in which they must be performed are shown in the following table. Tasks cannot be split, and it would be too expensive to duplicate any task. TASK TASK TIME (MINUTES) IMMEDIATE PREDECESSOR A 1 — B 2 — C 3 — D 1 A, B, C E 3 C F 2 E G 3 E What is the workstation cycle time required to produce 15 units per hour? Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place. Balance the line to use the fewest possible workstations to meet the cycle time found in part (b). Use whatever method you feel is appropriate. What is the efficiency of your line balance, assuming the line operates at the cycle time from part (b)? Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place.arrow_forwardA #2 pencil (P) is made from a wood subassembly (WS), a band (B) to hold the eraser on and an eraser (E).

The aggregate plan has specified a 40-hour week (four days of 10 hours each) for next week. In sequencing the production, she schedules the products in the same family (as determined during MPS), but also tries to assign allergens toward the end of a day and stronger flavours (e.g., mint) after weaker flavours, and to keep availability of ingredients in mind. Suppose the following families, products and their quantities (in terms of hours of production) have been chosen to be sequenced for production on one of the three lines next week: Quantity (in hours of production) Family Product FI Vanilla-1.89 L 9 Butterscotch-1.89 1 3 F2 Neupolitan-IL 2 Neapolitan-1.65 L NOT a А 6 Neapolitan-1.89 L F3 Maple walnut-IL 2 Peanut butter fudge-1.89 L 3 F4 Chocolate-1.89 L 5 Chocolate mint chip…arrow_forward
