Homework Answers
Answer:
Annual requirement (in units) per year = 300,000
Time required to produce 1 unit = 5 min
Production machine Running hours per year = 2000 hrs = 2000 * 60 =
120000
Number of plastic toy units a machine can churn out every year =
120000 / 5 = 24000
Defect rate = 2%
=> Defective pieces produced out of 24000 units = 24000 * 2 /
100 = 480 units
So, Net yearly plastic toy units production of a single machine
= 24000 - 480 = 23520
Hence total number of machines required to produce 300,000
= 300,000 / (Net yearly plastic toy units production of a single
machine)
= 300,000 / 23520 = 12.755
The company should by 13 machines to meet the annual
plastic toy production target.
