Abbott Manufacturing produces plastic cases for solar photovoltaic panels and has decided to combine orders from customers to increase work order size, and thereby make one large production run per model type. Plastic injection molding machines are used to make these parts, and it is time consuming to clean the machines and set them up again between production runs. Each molding machine and operator works one 8-hour shift with a one-hour lunch break and one-half hour for operator breaks. Consolidated Work Orders Model XVT-5 Case Model UYT-3 Case Model KLY-6 Case Work Order Quantity 9,700 panels To do this work in 1 day they need To do this work in 2 days they need To do this work in 3 days they need 7,100 11,200 Setup (Changeover) Time per Work Order (Minutes) 88 78 160 Processing Time per Panel machine(s). machine(s). machine(s).
