The demand of a certain part is 1000 parts/year and its cost is 1000/part. The orders are placed based on the economic order quantity (EOQ). The cost of ordering is 100/order and the lead time for receiving the orders is 5 days. If the holding cost is 20/part/year, the inventory level for placing the orders is (round off to the nearest integer) .parts. Ans. (14)
The Union Manufacturing Company is producing two types of products: A and B. The demand forecasts, batch size, and time standards follow in table 2: Table No 2 Product A Product B Demand forecast (units/yr) 1,000 4,000 Batch size (units/batch) 20 10 Processing time (hr/unit) 3.2 4.5 Setup time (hr/batch) 10 20 Both products are produced on the same machine, called Mark I. i) What is the total number of hours required of Mark I equipment for the next year? ii) The company works 250 days per year and operates two shifts, each covering 8 hours. If a 15 percent capacity cushion is maintained, how many hours of capacity can the company expect from each of its Mark I machines?
The annual demand for an item is 10,000 units. The unit cost is Rs. 100 and inventory carrying charges are 14.4% of the unit cost per annum. The cost of one procurement is Rs. 2000. The time between two consecutive orders to meet the above demand is _______ month
= Consider a four aisle AS/RS in which an S/R machine is used for each aisle. The length of the storage aisle 85 m and its height = 14 m. Suppose horizontal and vertical speeds of the S/R machine are 61 m/min and 23 m/min, respectively. The S/R machine requires 20 s to accomplish a P&D operation. The aisles in the AS/RS will be organized to follow a class-based dedicated storage strategy. There will be two classes, according to activity level. The more active stock is stored in the half of the rack system that is located closest to the input/output station, and the less active stock is stored in the other half of the rack system farther away from the input/output station. Within each half of the rack system, random storage is used. The more active stock accounts for 80% of the transactions, and the less active stock accounts for the remaining 20%. Assume that system utilization = 90%, and the number of single-command cycles = the number of dual-command cycles. Determine the throughput…
Tony’s Barbershop is run, owned, and operated by Anthony Jones, who has been cutting hairfor more than 20 years. Anthony does not take appointments, so the arrival pattern of customers is essentially random. Traditionally, the arrival rate had been about one customer every50 minutes. Two months ago, the local paper ran an article about Anthony that improved business substantially. Currently, the arrival rate is closer to one customer every 35 minutes. Haircutsrequire an average of 25 minutes, but the times vary considerably depending on customerneeds. A trim might require as little as 5 minutes, but a shampoo and styling could take as longas an hour or more. For this reason, the exponential distribution seems to provide a reasonablygood fit of the service time distribution.Anthony’s customers have always been patient, but ever since business picked up, somehave complained that the wait is too long. Anthony is considering taking his cousin Marvin intothe business to improve customer…

A company uses various machines in the preparation of ice cream. The firm has been successful until recently when it noticed growing repair expenses for the various machines it uses. Over the past 20 months, the machines have broken down at the rate indicated in the following table: Each time a machine breaksdown, the company estimates that it loses an average of US$300 in production time and service expenses. Should the company opt to purchase a service contract for preventive maintenance by Angeles Machineries Inc., (AMI) there will still be breakdowns, averaging one breakdown per month. The price for this service by AMI is US$150 per month. a. If the company continues as is, what is the expected no. of breakdowns based on past history? b. What will be the cost of breakdowns per month to the company without a preventive maintenance contract? c. What will be the cost of breakdowns per month to the company with a preventive maintenance contract? d. Should they engage the…
True, False or Uncertain. Explain your answer. Own wage elasticity JELLlincrease if product demand elasticity n? is high. In short run, when there is an increase in wage rate, each firm will hire less labor and so the industry labor demand is simply the horizontal summation of firm's labor demand. а. b. Labor demand is represented by the marginal revenue produce schedule (MRP) when we have competitive product market while it will be represented by the value of marginal product schedule (VMP) when we have a product market monopolist. When elasticity of substitution, SLK, increase that means the L and K are less substitutable, and the isoquant will be L-shaped. Minimum wage imposed by the government is always bad for the economy because it increase unemployment and deadweight loss. с. d. e. 3.
