Given the following, what are the machine fractions for machine A, B, and C
to produce parts X and Y?
Part X routing is machine A, then B, and then C; 100,000 parts are to be produced per
year. Part Y routing is machine B, then A, and then C; 200,000 parts are to be produced
per year. Setup times for parts X and Y are 20 minutes and 40 minutes, respectively.
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:
F: number of machines required per shift
S: standard time (minutes) per unit produced
Q: number of units to be produced per shift
E: actual performance, expressed as a percentage of standard time
H: amount of time (minutes) available per machine
R: reliability of machine, expressed as percent uptime
If setups occur more frequently, then additional machines might be required
due to the lost production time consumed by setups.
2) Part A is produced on machine 1 and then machine 2. One unit of part A is
assembled with three units of part B, which is produced on machine 3, in
assembly station 4. Machine 1 has a scrap factor of 20%, and machine 2 has a
scrap factor of 10%. The assembly process has a scrap factor of 15%. Another
part, part c, is produced on machine 5 and has a scrap estimate of 25%. Part C
and the subassembly comparison of part A and part B are assembled at assembly
6 into the completed product. Each day, 15,000 units of the completed product
are required to meet demand. Assuming that machine 3 and assembly station 6
have scrap factors of 30% each, what are the requirements for part A, B, and C
in order to meet the daily demand for the completed product?

All Ik values are rounded to the nearest integer.
