- d. Make-to-order factory
a)
To determine: The type of scheduling decision and the type of resources to be scheduled in the operations of a hospital.
Introduction:
Scheduling is the process of controlling and arranging the workloads of the production process using the optimized way. It is used to plan the allocating of human resources and machinery.
Explanation of Solution
Determine the type of scheduling decisions and the type of resources to be scheduled in the operations of hospital:
Use of operating rooms, special equipment, and shifts to the nurses in each department should be assigned using the scheduling process in the hospital. Special equipment includes lab, X-ray, EEG, and EKG.
b)
To determine: The type of scheduling decision and the type of resources to be scheduled in the operations of a university.
Introduction:
Scheduling is the process of controlling and arranging the workloads of the production process by the optimized way. It is used to plan the allocating of human resources and machinery.
Explanation of Solution
Determine the type of scheduling decisions and the type of resources to be scheduled in the operations of university:
The type of classes needed for each hour, faculty needed for each class, library services, registration, and counselling must be assigned with proper scheduling method.
c)
To determine: The type of scheduling decision and the type of resources to be scheduled in the operations of moviemaking.
Introduction:
Scheduling is the process of controlling and arranging the workloads of the production process using the optimized way. It is used to plan the allocating of human resources and machinery.
Explanation of Solution
Determine the type of scheduling decisions and the type of resources to be scheduled in the operations of moviemaking:
It is necessary to determine the kind of property, videographers, staff, actors, and actresses who are required for the movie to be scheduled and the sequence of scenes to be filmed.
d)
To determine: The type of scheduling decision and the type of resources to be scheduled in the operations of make-to-order factory.
Introduction:
Scheduling is the process of controlling and arranging the workloads of the production process using the optimized way. It is used to the plan allocation of human resources and machinery.
Explanation of Solution
Determine the type of scheduling decisions and the type of resources to be scheduled in the operations of make-to-order factory:
It is necessary to determine the kind of product to be produced and the equipment required to produce such products. The time and place to deliver the product should be assigned.

- Scenario The KOREAN factory of Hi-Tech Metal, Inc. primarily manufactures plumbing system parts for gas pipes, drainage pipes, water supply pipes and hoses etc. A mainframe computer was used for scheduling, but it took a lot of time and unnecessarily put heavy workload on scheduling managers and on-site workers. Following are the associated problems to meet customers’ needs Lengthy 3 to 4 days schedule drafting time, caused by mainframe computer’s long processing time. Inflexibility of mainframe computer to sudden order changes, leading to tedious manual calculation and direct on-site adjustment Extra workload for on-site workers One-month base scheduling that cannot meet customers’ need, Task 3 Considering above scenario identify the manufacturing system for the components [Based on the stakeholder, strategic goals , explain the manufacturing system]arrow_forwardScenario The KOREAN factory of Hi-Tech Metal, Inc. primarily manufactures plumbing system parts for gas pipes, drainage pipes, water supply pipes and hoses etc. A mainframe computer was used for scheduling, but it took a lot of time and unnecessarily put heavy workload on scheduling managers and on-site workers.

- Consider a law firm with 15 lawyers and 3 paralegals. The firm is struggling to keep up with the high demand for its services, particularly during the busy litigation seasons. It has been observed that the lawyers spend a significant amount of their time on administrative tasks that could potentially be handled by paralegals. After a careful study of the work distribution within the firm, it was determined that 35% of the activities carried out by the lawyers are administrative in nature. Given that each lawyer works 50 hours a week, please determine: (a) How many additional paralegals should the firm hire to handle the administrative tasks currently performed by the lawyers? (b) If the lawyers' time spent on administrative tasks is redirected to billable legal work, by what percentage could the firm potentially increase its billable hours?arrow_forwardDiscuss how duality principles are applied in operations research, particularly in scheduling problems.arrow_forwardWhat are the advantages to finite capacity scheduling?arrow_forward
