1. The Attaran Corporation manufactures two electrical products: portable air conditioners and portable heaters. The assembly process for each is similar in that bothrequire a certain amount of wiring and drilling. Each air conditioner takes 3 hours of wiring and 2 hours of drilling. Each heater must go through 2 hours of wiringand 1 hour of drilling. During the next production period, 240 hours of wiring time are available and up to 130 hours of drilling time may be used. Each airconditioner sold yields a profit of $20. Each heater assembled may be sold for a $18 profit.The aim of the objective function for Attaran Corporation should be to (1).-the objective value.The optimum solution is:Number of air conditioners to be produced =Number of heaters to be produced=(round your response to two decimal places).(round your response to two decimal places).Optimal solution value -(round your response to two decimal places).(1) O MaximizeO Minimize

Suppose a final assembly is produced by assembling two components. THE The first component, A, is produced internally and goes through three process steps, which are stamping, forging and machining, with scrap estimates of 10%, 15% and 25%, respectively. For every three produced units of component A, two are used in the final assembly and one is separate to meet spare parts needs. The second component, B, which is used exclusively in final assembly, is purchased from a supplier external and inspected on arrival; 2% do not pass inspection. A unit of the component purchased is required for each final assembly. The final assembly process produces 5% of scraps. Spare parts demands for component A and final Su assembly match to 1,000 and 5,000 units, respectively. How many input units are needed for produce component A, and how many units of component B should the firm buy?

Assume that Product Z is made of two units of A and four units of B. A is made of three units of C and four of D. D is made of two units of E. B is made of three units of E. If 50 units of Z is required to make, then how many units of D do they need? Group of answer choices 250 400 300 150 550
The Goodparts Company produces a component that is subsequently used in the aerospace industry. The component consists of three parts (A, B, and C) that are purchased from outside and cost 35, 30, and 10 cents per piece, respectively. Parts A and B are assembled first on assembly line 1, which produces 185 components per hour. Part C undergoes a drilling operation before being finally assembled with the output from assembly line 1. There are, in total, six drilling machines, but at present only three of them are operational. Each drilling machine drills part C at a rate of 80 parts per hour. In the final assembly, the output from assembly line 1 is assembled with the drilled part C. The final assembly line produces at a rate of 205 components per hour. At present, components are produced eight hours a day and five days a week. Management believes that if the need arises, it can add a second shift of eight hours for the assembly lines. The cost of assembly labor is 30 cents per part for…
A Company produces a component for use in the aerospace industry. The component consists of three parts (A, B and C), which are purchased externally and cost 50c, 60c and 70c per piece respectively. Parts A and B are assembled first on assembly line 1, which produces 150 components per hour. Part C undergoes a drilling operation before being finally assembled with the output from assembly line 1. There are six drilling machines in total, but only three are currently operational. Each drilling machine drills part C at a rate of 30 parts per hour. The final assembly line has a production capacity of 100 components per hour. At present, components are produced eight hours a day, five days a week. If the need arises, management can add a second shift of eight hours for the assembly lines only. The cost of assembly labour is 40c per assembly operation for each assembly line; the cost of drilling labour is 20c per part. For drilling, the cost of electricity is 10c per part. The overhead cost…
. Aquatica makes underwater camera housings for divers. The process begins with a solid rectangular block of aluminum that is used to make a single housing. A computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine drills into the block to make the metal “frame” of the housing. Each block requires 15 minutes of drilling. The frame is then chemically treated in a series of baths. There is ample capacity in the treating stage. Finally, a worker must manually attach the various buttons and components to the metal housing. This assembly takes 120 minutes per housing per worker and Aquatica has 6 workers trained to do this task. The CNC machine requires a 30-minute setup time before the production of a batch can begin. a. If the CNC machine produces 14 housings between setups, what would be its capacity (in housings per hour)? b. Assuming the process is supply-constrained, what is the utilization (as a number between 0 and 1) of the CNC machine if it operates in batches of 14 housings? c. Assuming…
An assembly line requires two components: gadjits and widjits. 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 775 jit-togethers. The container for gadjits holds 75 units. The policy variable for center 1 is set at 0.05. The average waiting time for a container of gadjits is 0.08 day, and 0.07 day is needed to produce a container. The container for widjits holds 40 units, and the policy variable for center 2 is 0.07. The average waiting time per container of widjits is 0.15 day, and the time required to process a container is 0.29 day. a. How many containers are needed for gadjits? 5 containers.

Lead Time Gourmet Helper Appliance Company manufactures home kitchen appliances. The manufacturing process includes stamping, final assembly, testing and shipping. In the stamping operation, a number of individuals are responsible for stamping the steel outer surface of the appliance. The stamping operation is set up prior to each run. A run of 75 stamping is completed after each setup. A setup requires 40 minutes the parts wait for the setup to be completed before stamping begins. Each stamping requires 5 minutes of operating time. After each batch is completed, the operator moves stamp the stamped covers to the final assembly area. This move takes 10 minutes to complete. The final assembly for each appliance unit requires 18 minutes and is also done in batches of 75 appliance units. The batch of 75 appliance units is moved into the test building, which is crossed street. The move takes 25 minutes. In the final test, the 75 unit batch is tested one at a time. Each test…
