What is "batch-picking and what are its costs and benefits? 10 pointsExplanation / Answer
Q.NO.21:- NUMBER OF FORKLIFT OPERATORS = 20 , WORKING FOR 8 HOURS/DAY = 8X 60 MINUTES
AVERAGE TRIP TIME = 10 MINUTES , HENCE TOTAL 20 X[ (8 X 60) / 10 ] X 250 = 240000 PALLETS
CAN BE SHIPPED / YEAR, HENCE TOTAL INVENTORY TURNS IS GIVEN AS = 240000/ 10000
= 24
GIVEN OPERATORS WORK FOR 250 DAYS AND 8 HOURS/DAY IN A YEAR AND
NUMBER OF PALLETS 10000.
Q.N.2.11:- AVAILABLE PALLETS = 10000, FORKLIFTT OPERATORS = 7 , WORKS 8X 60 MINUTES /DAY
AND AVERAGE TRIP TIME = 6 MINUTES AND 250 WORKING DAYS IN A YEAR
HENCE TOTAL PALLETS CAN BE SHIPPED IN A YEAR = 7 X [( 8 X 60)]/6 X 250 = 140000 PALLETS
TOTAL PALLETS 10,000 HENCE INVENTRY TURNS / YEAR = 14,00,000 / 10,000 = 14
Q.N.2.12 :- 200 PALLETS REQUIRED / DAY , BUT 1000 OCCUPIED PALLETS HENCE SELF LIFE OF
PRODUCT MUST BE AT LEAST MORE OR EQUAL TO 1000/ 200 = 5 DAYS TO AVOID
SPOILAGE .
