Machine Fractions for Parts X and Y

The document discusses machine fractions for machines A, B and C to produce parts X and Y. It provides setup times that are identical for each machine for a given product, with setup time for product X being 20 minutes and for product Y being 40 minutes. It notes that a critical piece of information is the length of production runs between setups, and that if a single setup produces the annual requirement, then the number of machines is determined, but additional machines may be required if setups occur more frequently due to lost production time from setups.

1.

Given the following, what are the machine fractions for machine A, B, and C
to produce parts X and Y?

SOLUTION
All Ik values are rounded to the nearest integer.

Setup times are identical for machines A, B, and C for a particular product. The
setup time for product X, regardless of the machine, is 20 mins; the setup time
for product Y is 40 mins., regardless of the machine. A critical piece of
information needed to determine the number of machines required is the length
of production runs between setups. If a single setup is needed to produce the
annual requirement of a product on a machine, then the number of machines
required is determined as follows:
If setups occur more frequently, then additional machines might be required
due to the lost production time consumed by setups.
