There is an upstream Picking department that feeds two downstream Packing departments: Pack Singles and Pack Multis. Those Packing departments feed to a Shipping department that loads the outgoing trucks. 40% of your Pick volume goes to Pack Singles and has a packing rate of 104 units per labor hour (uph). 60% of the Pick volume goes to Pack Multis and has a pack rate of 215 units per labor hour. Your pickers pick both Single and Multi items throughout the day at an overall average rate of 114 units per labor hour. All units that are packed in both processes go through the Ship process at a rate of 570 units per hour. You have 102 people today for all 4 departments and you absolutely must pack 47,880 units in Pack Multis Items to meet a customer promise metric. How do you allocate labor to balance the flow in your department if you work a 10 hour shift? Do not assume breaks or lunches in your answer. Redirect 1: You now need to process all of the Pack Singles Volume in the first 5…
A recurring maintenance job in a factory is being done by a three-man crew. Due to the nature of the job and space limitations, it was observed that two of the men were idle 37% of the time; one of the men was also idle an additional of the time, and at any given time only one man was required. The men were each paid P24.00 per hour. Each time the job was performed a set of tools and equipment with a value equivalent to P36.00 per hour was used. If the three-men crew could complete the work in 5 hours, which crew size would be the most economical
a) Suppose you walk into a large supermarket at 2 am with a friend. Your friend says, "I can't believe that these stores stay open all night. Only one out of fifteen checkout lines is open. There can't be more than ten shoppers in this store. It just doesn't make any sense for this store to be open all night." What conditions must be true for it to be to the advantage of the supermarket to stay open all night? b) Your friend has a large garden and grows fresh fruit and vegetables to be sold at a local "farmer's market." Last year your friend was the only worker in the garden, without any additional workers. However, this year your friend hired a worker and production more than doubled. He comments "Next summer, I think I'll hire another two workers (so total workers including myself would go up from 2 to 4) and my output should again more than double". Is it likely that he could hire more workers and always continue to reap greater than proportional increases in production? Why?
Manufacturers Inc. (MI) currently has a labor force of 10, which can produce 600 units per period. The labor cost is now $5000 per period per employee. The company has a long-standing rule that does not allow it to make use of any overtime. In addition, the product cannot be subcontracted, due to the specialized nature of the machinery that MI uses to produce it. As a result, MI can only increase/decrease production by hiring or laying off employees. The cost is $10000 to hire or lay off an employee. Inventory carrying costs are $200 per unit for any unsold items at the end of the period. The inventory level at the beginning of period 1 is 400 units. The forecast demand is 700 in period 1,600 in period 2,450 in period 3, 250 in period 4,500 in period 5, and 550 in period 6. a.) Compute the costs of the Chase Demand Strategy. b.) Compute the costs of the Level Strategy c.) Compare the costs of the two strategies. Which one is superior?

(d) The company only has 4 workstations available. If it only operates its 4stations, how many weeks does it need to meet the production requirements?(e) The company has other contracts it needs to satisfy. Working on themugs more than 4 weeks means it will have to cancel another contract,incurring a penalty of $4,500. Each new workstation costs the company$2,500. What should the company do: cancel the contract or buy therequired workstations?
Sturgill Manufacturing Inc. needs to predict the numbers of machines and employees required to produce its planned production for the coming year. The plant runs three shifts continuously during the workweek, for a total of 120 hours of capacity per week. The shop efficiency (the percent of total time available for production), which accounts for setups, changeovers, and maintenance, averages 70% with a standard deviation of 5%, which reduces the weekly capacity. Six key parts are produced, and the plant has three different types of machines to produce each part. The machines are not interchangeable as they each have a specific function. The time to produce each part on each machine varies. The mean time and standard deviation (in hours) to produce each part on each machine are shown below: Mean Time Part Type Machine A Machine B Machine C 1 3.5 2.6 8.9 2 3.4 2.5 8 3 1.8 3.5 12.6 4 2.4 5.8 12.5 5 4.2 4.3 28 6…

.A team of 10 unloaders is employed in good reception bay of a large warehouse. During an 8 hour day 40 lorries arrive and it takes the team 10 minutes to unload each lorry. Each team member is paid RM3 per hour and it costs RM10 per hour to keep lorries waiting. Studies show that increasing the team to 14 men would reduce the unloading time to 7 minutes. Would it be worthwhile increasing the team to 14?
