PA 7-2 (Algo) A machine makes two components; call... A machine makes two components; call themn types A and B. It takes 550 seconds to switch production between the component types. During that time, no production occurs. When in production, each unit of A or B requires 0.5 second to be completed. The two components, A and B, are combined in an assembly process to make a final product; call it C. The assembly step can combine the two components...
A process has two stages. In the first stage, a machine makes two components, call them type A and B. It takes 250 seconds to switch production between the component types. During that time no production occurs. When in production, each component (A or B) requires 0.6 seconds to be completed. In the second stage, the components, A and B, are assembled to make a final product, call it C. The assembly stage can combine the two components into 1...
OVERLOAD CO makes gear module which includes two components: Component Lambda and Component Kappa. These components are produced in a Production resource and then assembled together in Assembly. A typical production cycle will include 400 units of Component Lambda and 100 units of Component Kappa and would involve two setups to switch between the two types of components. Each setup takes 45 minutes. Suppose that Production of these components has 1 worker and is the bottleneck resource in the process....
A processor makes two components, A and B, which are then packaged together as the final product (each product sold contains one A and one B). The processor can do only one component at a time: either it can make As or it can make Bs. There is a setup time when switching from A to B. Current plans are to make 100 units of component A, then 100 units of component B, then 100 units of component A, then...

The Garden State Aerospace Corporation manufactures parts for F 16 fighter jets. One of the major components requires a milling process followed by a threading operation, and finally an assembly into a larger subassembly. Two variations of the component are used, one for domestic aircraft and for export. The domestic design requires 2 minutes of milling, 3 minutes of tapering and 6 minutes for assembly per unit. The profit per domestic unit is $ 0.70. The export component requires 2...
5. Changeover of fixtures on a machine takes 35 minutes. Following the changeover, an aver- ed before the correct setting is achieved. For ch part the processing time is two minutes and the material cost is $1.50. The labor cost for a skilled setup person to do the changeover and adjustment is $15.50 per hour. The labor cost of the machine operator is $10.50 per hour. Currently, the part is produced in batches of 50 units. Suppose the setup procedure...
A production process consists of two resources. One resource consists of one machine that is used to make 3 different parts. Those parts are needed to make the one product. The parts are labeled, A, B and C. To make a product requires 3 A parts, 2 B parts and 1 C part. Switching production from one type of part to another requires 2.5 minutes. Once setup to make a part, the machine works at the rate of 8 A...
California Circuits Company (3C) manufactures a variety of components. Its Valley plant specializes in two electronic components used in circuit boards. These components serve the same function and perform equally well. The difference in the two products is the raw material. The XL-D chip is the older of the two components and is made with a metal that requires a wash prior to assembly. Originally, the plant released the wastewater directly into a local river. Several years ago, the company...
