A company produces two products, A and B, that go through a three-step sequence of fabrication, assembly, and packaging. Processing requirements for the departments (hours per unit) are: Product Fabrication Assembly PackagingA 1.0 1.0 2.0B 1.5 2.0 1.0Department capacities are all 7 hours per day. The following production schedule is for the next three days: Day Mon Tues WedA 2 2 1B 4 1 1a. Develop, for each department and day, the capacity requirements for each product and the total load for each day. Ignore changeover time between A and B. Evaluate the projected loads for each day.

An agriculture equipment manufacturer has a sub-assembly production line where eight steps or tasks must be performed (outlined in the table below with all relevant information). Daily demand (required output rate) is 54 units and there are 960 minutes available each day to meet this production quota.Task     Req'd Time (in minutes)     Predecessor A 9 NoneB 5 AC 5 BD 7 BE 13 CF 3 CG 7 D, E, FH 3 G What is the total time (in minutes) for this production line?   What is the takt time (in minutes) for this production line? (Round your answer to a one decimal place.)   What is the theoretical minimum number of workstations required for this production line? (Round up your answer to the nearest whole number.)   Given your task assignments to workstations, what is the actual number of workstations required?   What is the cycle time (in minutes) for this production line?   What is the overall efficiency for this production line?

A plant manager is attempting to determine the production schedule of various products to maximize profit. Assume that a machine hour constraint is binding. If the original amount of machine hours available is 200 minutes, and the range of feasibility is from 130 minutes to 300 minutes, providing two additional machine hours will result in:Group of answer choicesthe same product mix, same total profit.a different product mix, different total profit.the same product mix, different total profit.a different product mix, same total profit as before.

Ten basic tasks must be performed on an assembly line to manufacture a product. The demand forthe product is 60 units per day and the line is available 8 hours per day. The time to perform eachtask and the immediate predecessors are shown below:a) Draw a precedence diagram of this operation. b) Compute the cycle time for this operation. c)What is the theoretical minimum number of workstations? d) Assign tasks to workstations tominimize idle time. e) What is the idle time of the process? f ) What is the efficiency of theassembly line, given your answer in (d)?
