a. A work center at the Mechanical Lyold Company has 4 machines and each machine is operated 8.5 hours a day, 6 days a week. Last week, the work center operated for a total 158 hours and produced 140 hours of work.
Calculate the
i. The efficiency of the work center
ii. The utilization of the work center
iii. what is the rated capacity of the workcenter
(i) Efficiency = Time of operation/ Time available =
Efficiency = 0.7745 = 77.45%
(ii) Utilization = Total Output/ Time operated = 140/158= 0.8861 = 88.61%
(iii) Rated capacity = 8.5*6*4 = 204 hours

A company must decide which type of machine to buy, and how many units of that type, given the following information: Type Machine Cost $9.000 $ 11,000 Product Annual Demand Processing Time per minutes per unit Machine 1 Machin 2 1 10,000 12,000 14,000 6 8 5o 7 3 a) Evaluate the proposed machines based on the annual capacity cushion of each type to handle the given demand if the machines will operate 8 hours a day, 260 days a...
A manager is trying to decide whether to buy one machine or two. If only one machine is purchased and demand proves to be excessive, the second machine can be purchased later. Some sales would be lost, however, because the lead time for delivery of this type of machine is six months. In addition, the cost per machine will be lower if both machines are purchased at the same time. The probability of low demand is estimated to be 0.20...
The Goodparts Company produces a component
that is subsequently used in the aerospace industry. The component
consists of three parts (A, B, and C) that are purchased from
outside and cost 40, 35, and 15 cents per piece, respectively.
Parts A and B are assembled first on assembly line 1, which
produces 155 components per hour. Part C undergoes a drilling
operation before being finally assembled with the output from
assembly line 1. There are in total six drilling machines,...
