- The following jobs are waiting to be processed at Rick Solano’s machine center. Solano’s machine center has a relatively long backlog and sets a fresh schedule every 2 weeks, which does not disturb earlier schedules. Below are the jobs received during the previous 2 weeks. They are ready to be scheduled today, which is day 241 (day 241 is a workday). Job names refer to names of clients and contract numbers.

- A manutacturer is designing a product layout for a new product production. It plans to use a production line for B hours per day in order to meet forecasted demand of 100 units per day. The product requires 7 lasks in total. These tasks are namely, A, 8, CD, E, F, and G respectively. Task A does not have any predecessor to start. To start Task B, it requires Task A to be completed Starting tasks Cneeds, the tack B to be completed. Also, starting task D needed task B to be completed Task E can only start upon completion of Task C. Whescas starting lask F needs the completion of both the tasks D and E Finally, starting task G needed, task Fto be completed. 1the processing times for tasks, A BC D, E F, andG are 28, 2.1, 0.9, 1.0, 1.2, 1.8, are 4.7 minutes respectively. Applying the most following tasks nule for balancing the assembly line, with ties broken according to longest task time first, the tasks that will be assigned to the FIRST workstation are Select one OaAB, and C ODAB Oc None…arrow_forwardb.

- A manufacturer is designing a product layout for a new product production. It plans to use a production line for 8 hours per day in order to meet forecasted demand of 90 units per day. The product requires 7 tasks in total. These tasks are namely, A, B, C D E F and G respectively. Task A does not have any predecessor to start. To start Task B, it requires Task A to be completed, Starting tasks needs the task to be completed. Also starting task D, needed task B to be completed. Task E can only start upon completion of Task C. Whereas starting task F needs the completion of both the tasks D and E. Finally, starting task G needed, task F to be completed. The processing times for tasks, A, B, C, D, E, F. and G are 28.2.1,0.9, 10, 1.2.1.8 are 4.7 minutes respectively. How many minimum numbers of workstations are needed? a. 1 b. 6 c.

- One approach that can be effective in reducing the impact of production bottlenecks in a job shopor batch operations setting is to use smaller lot sizes.a. What is the impact of a production bottleneck?b. Explain how small lot sizes can reduce the impact of bottleneck operations.c. What are the key trade-offs in using small lot sizes for the purpose of reducing the bottleneckeffect?d. In some cases, the location of a bottleneck will shift (i.e., sometimes it is at workstation 3,another time it is at workstation 12). Furthermore, there can be more than one bottleneck operation at the same time. How would these situations impact scheduling using small lot sizes?arrow_forwardA group of six jobs is to be processed through a two-machine flow shop. The first operation involves cleaning and the second involves painting. Determine a sequence that willminimize the total completion time for this group of jobs. Processing times are as follows:PROCESSING TIME (hours)Job Work Center 1 Work Center 2A 5 5B 4 3C 8 9D 2 7E 6 8F 12 15 To employ Johnson’s rule, create a “blank” sequence first, such as:mhhe.com/stevenson13eEXAMPLE 41st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6tharrow_forwardA manufacturer is designing a product layout for a new product productionIt plans to use a production line for 8 hours per day in order to meet forecasted demand of 70 units per day.
