1. The Attaran Corporation manufactures two electrical products: portable air conditioners and portable heaters. The assembly process for each is similar in that both require 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 wiring and 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 air conditioner sold yields a profit of $15.

A company produces two products: A and B. Prod-uct A sells for $11 per unit and product B sells for $23 per unit. Producing a unit of product A requires two hours on assembly line 1 and one unit of raw ma-terial. Producing a unit of product B requires two units of raw material, one unit of A, and two hours on as-sembly line 2. On line 1, 1300 hours of time are avail-able, and 500 hours are available on line 2. A unit of raw material can be bought (for $5 a unit) or produced(at no cost) by using two hours of time on line 1.a. Determine how to maximize profit.b. The company will stop buying raw material whenthe price of raw material exceeds what value? (UseSolverTable.)
Quitmeyer Elec-tronics Incorporated manufactures the following six microcomputer peripheral devices: internal mo-dems, external modems, graphics circuit boards, CD drives, hard disk drives, and memory expansionboards. Each of these technical products requirestime, in minutes, on three types of electronic testingdevices, as shown in the table on this page.The first two test devices are available 120hours per week. The third (device 3) requires morepreventive maintenance and may be used only 100 hours each week. The market for all six computer components is vast, and Quitmeyer Electronics be-lieves that it can sell as many units of each product as it can manufacture.

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 750 jit-togethers. The container for gadjits holds 70 units. The policy variable for center 1 is set at 0.03. The average waiting time for a container of gadjits is 0.08 day, and 0.05 day is needed to produce a container. The container for widjits holds 60 units, and the policy variable for center 2 is 0.09. The average waiting time per container of widjits is 0.16 day, and the time required to process a container is 0.26 day. a. How many containers are needed for gadjits? 5 containers. (Enter your response rounded up to the next whole number.) b. How many containers are needed for widjits? containers. (Enter your response rounded up to the next whole number.)

. 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…

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…
Company ZWZ manufactures three products in a serial system; Product XA is manufactured in Stage 1, Product XB in Stage 2, and XC in Stage 3. Product XB has a sales potential in the market; hence, some of it can be sold at the end of Stage 2, and the remaining can be moved to Stage 3. The third stage produces Product XC, and then delivers it to customers. Two units of Product XA produced in Stage 1 are required for each unit of Product XB in Stage 2. In addition, four units of Product XB produced in Stage 2 are required for each unit of Product XC in Stage 3. Stage 1 can only use regular time; however, Stage 2 has the options of using regular time and overtime in manufacturing. On the other hand, Stage 3 has only one alternative, which is subcontracting. The pertinent data are provided below: Stage 2 Stage 1 11 No overtime No subcontracting No sales 0.07 Unit regular time cost (TL) Unit overtime cost (TL) Unit subcontracting cost (TL) Unit selling price (TL) Unit processing time (hrs)…

A manufacturing plant produces a product 'A' that requires one unit of 'B' and ½ unit of 'C'. Each unit of 'B' is comprised of one unit of 'D', two units of 'E', and one unit of 'F'. Each unit of 'C' requires ½ unit of 'G' and three units of 'H'. The manufacturing lead times for the components are as follows: 'A' - two weeks, 'B' - one week, 'C' - two weeks, 'D' - two weeks, 'E' - three weeks, 'F' - one week, 'G' - two weeks, 'H' - one week. There are 20 units in stock for each of these components. 100 units of 'A' are needed for delivery in seven weeks: a) Develop the product structure and indexed bill of materials for the product. b) Create a gross and net requirements plan for the manufacturer of the product.
