In a large microelectronics plant, the assembly cell for circuit boards has a demand for 250 units an hour. Two feeder cells supply parts A and B to the assembly cell (one A and one B for each board). Standard containers that look like divided trays are used. A container will hold 24 As or 10 Bs. It takes 10 minutes to fill up a container with As and 24 minutes to fill up a container with Bs. Transit time to the assembly cell is 5 minutes for both A and B. No safety factor is used. Set up a kanban control system for the assembly process.
In order to produce 1000 units of X in a week units X is scheduled weekly for Operation B (due to 5% scrap ratio) units X is scheduled weekly for Operation A (due to 2% scrap ratio)
Based on your answer in part a, find the number of machines required to produce 1000 units of X per week. The total time required to perform Operation B = minutes per week The total time required to perform Operation A = minutes per week H= Available Time in a week = minutes /week Thus FA = . FB = . Since both of the operations A and B are performed on the same machine machines are required

- A company manufactures hair dryers. It buys some of the components, but it makes the heating elements, which it can produce at the rate of 800 per day. Hair dryers are assembled daily, 250 days a year, at a rate of 300 per day. Because of the disparity between the production and usage rates, the heating elements are periodically produced in batches of 2,000 units. Approximately how many batches of heating elements are produced annually? If production on a batch begins when there is no inventory of heating elements on hand, how much inventory will be on hand two days later? The same equipment that is used to make the heating elements could also be used to make a component for another of the firm’s products. That job would require four days, including setup. Setup time for making a batch of heating elements is a half day. Is there enough time to do this job between productions of batches of heating elements?

Delta is trying to reduce warehousing costs and establishes three policies to that end: i) The annual number of orders for all products must be at least 20 per contractual terms with transportation providers. ii) The average inventory in units must be a maximum of 1800. iii) Because the raw material is perishable, there can never be more than 2000 units in inventory of raw material 1. Raw material 2 has a maximum allowed of 1200 units and the raw material 3 can store maximum 400 units.

- Please do not give solution in image format thanku In 2018, the government of Ghana launched operation one district one factory (IDIE). Based on IDIF, Ekumfi Pineapple Factory Co. Ltd (EPF) was launched. In 2019 the management of ERF started production with 100 workers per shift, each of the three shifts working 8 hours per day. Every working day the payroll cost was GHIC 20,000 and overhead expenses amounted to GHC 5000 and material cost GHC 4000. At the end of the first year, the company produced 1,000,000 boxes of pineapple juice. During the second year, EPF acquired a loan from Exim Bank to purchase a new plant. After the introduction of the new plant, the management reduced the size of its workers per shift to 80, each working 8 hours per day, with the payroll cost reducing to GHC 18,000 and overhead expenses also reducing to GHC 4000 and material cost rising to GHC 6000. Production rose to 1,200,000 boxes. Regard yourself as the Operations Manager of EPF: a) What are the…arrow_forwardCrimson Wheels Bus Company produces buses.

Gadjits are produced by center 1 and widjits are produced by center 2. Each unit of the end item, called a jit-together, requires 3 gadjits and 2 widjits. The daily production quota on the assembly line is 750 jit-togethers. The container for gadjits holds 70 units. The policy variable for center 1 is set at 0.03. The average waiting time for a container of gadjits is 0.08 day, and 0.05 day is needed to produce a container. The container for widjits holds 60 units, and the policy variable for center 2 is 0.09. The average waiting time per container of widjits is 0.16 day, and the time required to process a container is 0.26 day. a. How many containers are needed for gadjits? 5 containers.

- It takes an operator 1.60 minute to service a machine and 0.4 minute to walk to the next machine. Each machine runs automatically for 6 minutes, the operator earns $12.00/hour and the machines cost $18.00/hour to run.

A donut store is open 8 hours a day and sells two types of donuts: blueberry cake donut and chocolate frosted donut. On average, the demand is 80 donuts per day for EACH type. The store has only one machine, which makes both types, and once it starts, it produces one donut every 2 minutes for either type. The production alternates between the two types, i.e., a batch of one type is followed by a batch of the other. The setup time is 20 minutes for either type. If the batch size is 10 donuts per batch, what is the capacity per day for each type of donut? If the batch size is 20 donuts per batch, what is the capacity per day for each type of donut? What is the minimal batch size in order to satisfy demand for both types? If the setup time is 8 minutes for either type, and the batch size is 20 donuts per batch, what is the capacity per day for each type of donut?
