What might Stephanie determine as the best production quantity per cycle for each day of the week?
To determine: The production sequence for cycle are S7, S8, S9, S1 and S2.
Introduction: A production cycle is a period through which the factors required by labors such as raw materials and goods stay in the creation process from the initial starting point of assembling through yield of finished goods.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Model | Weekly Quantity |
S1 | 120 |
S2 | 102 |
S7 | 48 |
S8 | 90 |
S9 | 25 |
The department operates five days a week. The production sequence is S7-S8-S9-S1-S2.
Calculate the daily demand for each model:
The demand for each model is calculated by dividing daily quantity of each model with total operational days.
Calculate the number of units per cycle for each model
It is calculated by dividing the daily demands with total operational days.
Calculate the production quantity per cycle for each day for 5 days from Monday to Friday.
This can be subjective. Production cycle should be on the sequence S7-S8-S9-S1-S2 done each cycle. We attempted to produce the same aggregate amount of units for every cycle. Whether this might have been not possible, we attempted with plan fewer units on the most last cycle of a day will consider getting up every day.
Excel Spreadsheet:
Calculate the production quantity per cycle for each model:
It is calculated by adding all the total values of each cycle from Monday to Friday.
Hence, the production sequence for cycle S7 is 48, S8 is 90, S9 is 25, S1 is 120 and S2 is 102.

- EZ-Windows, Inc. manufacturers replacement windows for the home remodeling business. In January, the company produces 15,000 windows and ended the month with 9,000 windows in inventory. EZ-Windows' management team would like to develop a production schedule for the next three months. A smooth production schedule is obviously desirable because it maintains the current workforce and provides a similar month-to-month operation. However, given the sales forecasts, the productioncapacities, and the storage capabilities as shown in Table 2, the management team does not think a smooth production schedule with the same production quantity each month possible.The company's cost accounting department estimates that increasing production by one window from one month to the next will increase total costs by $1.00 for each unit increase in the production level. In addition, decreasing production by one unit from one month to the next will increase total costs by $0.65 for each unit decrease in the…arrow_forwardA forecast of 240 units in January, 320 units in February, and 240 units in March has been approved for the seismic-sensory product family manufactured at the Rockport facility of Maryland Automated, Inc.
