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
JCL Inc. is a major chip manufacturing firm that sells its products to computer manufacturers like Dell, HP, and others. In simplified terms, chip making at JCL Inc. involves three basic operations: depositing, patterning, and etching.
Depositing: Using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology, an insulating material is deposited on the wafer surface, forming a thin layer of solid material on the chip.
Patterning: Photolithography projects a microscopic circuit pattern on the wafer surface, which has a light-sensitive chemical like the emulsion on photographic film. It is repeated many times as each layer of the chip is built.
Etching: Etching removes selected material from the chip surface to create the device structures.
The following table lists the required processing times and setup times at each of the steps. Assume that the unit of production is a wafer, from which individual chips are cut at a later stage.
Note: A setup can only begin once the batch has arrived at the…
fi Auto mobile company manufactures cars and trucks. Each vehicle must be processed in the paint shop and body assembly shop. If the paint shop were only painting trucks, then 80 per day could be painted. If the paint shop were only painting cars, then 120 per day could be painted. If the body shop were only producing cars, then it could process 100 per day. If the body shop were only producing trucks, then it could process 100 per day. Each truck contributes GHS60,000 to profit, and each car contributes GHS40,000 to profit. Use linear programming to determine a daily production schedule that will maximize the company’s profits.

- Assume the demand for a companys drug Wozac during the current year is 50,000, and assume demand will grow at 5% a year. If the company builds a plant that can produce x units of Wozac per year, it will cost 16x. Each unit of Wozac is sold for 3. Each unit of Wozac produced incurs a variable production cost of 0.20. It costs 0.40 per year to operate a unit of capacity. Determine how large a Wozac plant the company should build to maximize its expected profit over the next 10 years.arrow_forwardA machine part to be fabricated may be made from alloy of either of two metals. There is an order for 10,000 units. Metal A costs 3 pesos per kg, while Metal B costs 9 pesos per kg. If Metal A is used, the material per unit weighs 110 grams; for metal B, 30 grams. When metal A is used, 50 units can be produced per hour; for metal B, 80 units per hour. Metal B fabrication requires the aid of a tool costing P1,000, which will be useless after the 10,000 units are finished. The machine operator's wage is P50 per hour. If all other costs are identical, determine which material will be more economical to finish the 10,000-unit order. How much is the total cost difference between the use of metal A and metal B?arrow_forwardA manufacturing cell makes three models of a product – AKC1011, BC0001, and AC0102.

- Company ZWZ manufactures three products in a serial system; Product XA is manufactured in Stage 1, Product XB in Stage 2, and XC in Stage 3. Product XB has a sales potential in the market; hence, some of it can be sold at the end of Stage 2, and the remaining can be moved to Stage 3. The third stage produces Product XC, and then delivers it to customers. Two units of Product XA produced in Stage 1 are required for each unit of Product XB in Stage 2. In addition, four units of Product XB produced in Stage 2 are required for each unit of Product XC in Stage 3. Stage 1 can only use regular time; however, Stage 2 has the options of using regular time and overtime in manufacturing. On the other hand, Stage 3 has only one alternative, which is subcontracting. The pertinent data are provided below: Stage 2 Stage 1 11 No overtime No subcontracting No sales 0.07 Unit regular time cost (TL) Unit overtime cost (TL) Unit subcontracting cost (TL) Unit selling price (TL) Unit processing time (hrs)…arrow_forwardJCL Inc. is a major chip manufacturing firm that sells its products to computer manufacturers like Dell, Gateway, and others.

P1 has a production rate of 15 units/hour, P2 = 30 units/hour, P3 = 10 units per hour, P4 = 4 units/hour, P5 = 1 unit(s) per hour for each P5 and P6 = 6 units per hour. Operation P4 occurs seperately from and simultaneously with operations P1-P3. Operation P5 has three parallel and identical lines; therefore, each part only needs to go through one of the three lines. Consider the following two independent improvements: Improvement 1: Change station P4 into two connected stations (P4-1 and P4-2, connected in series) that have process times of 4 min/unit and 6 min/unit respectively. Improvement 2: Add two additional P5 stations to give you 5 parallel and identical lines. Improvement 2 increases capacity because it improves the bottleneck. The new bottleneck is station P4 since the original bottleneck has a process time of The new yearly capacity would be units per year. a) Which of the two improvements will provide the largest increase in capacity?

- Three methods can be used for producing heat sensors for high-temperature furnaces. Method A will have a fixed cost of $140,000 per year and a production cost of $62 per part. Method B will have a fixed cost of $210,000 per year and a production cost of $28 per part. Method C will require the purchase of equipment costing $500,000. It will have a life of five years and a 25% of first cost salvage value. The production cost will be $53 per part. At an interest rate of 10% per year, determine the breakeven annual production rate between the two lowest cost methods.arrow_forwardRoedel Electronics produces tablet computer accessories, including integrated keyboard tablet stands that connect a keyboard to a tablet device and hold the device at a preferred angle for easy viewing and typing. Roedel produces two different sizes of integrated keyboard tablet stands, small and large. Each size uses the same keyboard attachment, but the stand consists of two different pieces, a top flap and a vertical stand that differ by size. Thus, a completed integrated keyboard tablet stand consists of three subassemblies that are manufactured by Roedel: a keyboard, a top flap and a vertical stand. Roedel's sales forecast indicates that 7,000 small integrated keyboard tablet stands and 5,000 large integrated keyboard tablet stands will be needed to satisfy demand during the upcoming Christmas season. Because only 500 hours of in-house manufacturing time are available, Roedel is considering purchasing some, or all, of the subassemblies from outside suppliers.
