Question
Hello, I got the below calculations for part one and two, however, I am not sure they are correct, any guidance on all parts would be great. Please show how you arrived at your final calcuations, only because I would like to see where I made any mistakes. Thank You!
Part 1 I got 2,760 units
Part 2 I got 4,255 units
A process produces two types of products A and B. Product A is done in batches of 1000 units. It involves a setup time of 2 hours and a run time of 75 seconds. Product B is done in batches of 500 units and involves a setup time of 1 hour and a run time of 45 seconds. How many units can this process produce in a week of 40 hours, if (i) only product A is produced? (ii) only product B is produced? (iii) A and B are produced in a mix of 25% A and 75% B?Explanation / Answer
Solution
Here you can see the calculation. Hope it will be helpful for you.
To produce one batch of A = 1000*75sec = 75000 seconds
Setup time lost = 2 hours = 7200 seconds
Remaining seconds = 144000-(75000+7200) = 61800 seconds
Product A manufactured in 61800 sec = 824
Total Product A manufactured are = 1824 units
2. Only product B is produced
To produce one batch of A = 500*45sec = 22500 seconds
Setup time lost = 6 hours = 6*7200 seconds= 43200sec
Remaining seconds = 144000-(22500+43200) = 78300 seconds
Product A manufactured in 78300 sec = 1740
Total Product A manufactured are = 500+1740= 2240 units
3. A and B are produced in a mix of 25% A and 75% B?
Considering loss of 3 hours setup time, 37 hours is left to produce
A is manufactured for = 25% of 37 hours = 9.25 hours = 33300 hours
B is manufactured for = 75% of 37 hours = 27.75 hours = 99900 hours
Production of A = 33300/75 sec= 444 units
Production of B = 99900/45 sec= 2220 units
