An assembly line requires two components: gadjits and wi-djits. Gadjits are produced by center 1 and widjits by center 2.Each unit of the end item, called a jit-together, requires three gadjits and two widjits, as shown in Figure 6.13. The dailyproduction quota on the assembly line is 800 jit-togethers. The container for gadjits holds 80 units. The policy variablefor center 1 is set at 0.09. The average waiting time for a con-tainer of gadjits is 0.09 day, and 0.06 day is needed to producea container. The container for widjits holds 50 units, and thepolicy variable for center 2 is 0.08. The average waiting timeper container of widjits is 0.14 day, and the time required toprocess a container is 0.20 day.a. How many containers are needed for gadjits?b. How many containers are needed for widjits?

- The Goodparts Company produces a component that is subsequently used in the aerospace industry. The component consists of three parts (A, B, and C) that are purchased from outside and cost 35, 30, and 10 cents per piece, respectively. Parts A and B are assembled first on assembly line 1, which produces 185 components per hour. Part C undergoes a drilling operation before being finally assembled with the output from assembly line 1. There are, in total, six drilling machines, but at present only three of them are operational. Each drilling machine drills part C at a rate of 80 parts per hour. In the final assembly, the output from assembly line 1 is assembled with the drilled part C. The final assembly line produces at a rate of 205 components per hour. At present, components are produced eight hours a day and five days a week. Management believes that if the need arises, it can add a second shift of eight hours for the assembly lines.
