Question

BASIC PROBLEMS 1. Analyze the EDD and SPT priority rules for average lateness and average flow for the following jobs: Job Process (days) Due (days) 4 5 5 4 If a business wants to reduce inventory by changing to a kanban system. How many containers are needed if daily demand is 1000 units, lead time is 2 days, safety stock is 475 units? day, and container size is If concert seats are priced at $75 each, demand is expected to fill 820 of a 1000 seat auditorium. The variable cost per seat is $10. Using yield management, the price structure has been redone so advance tickets are $65 or $100 at the door. Average advance ticket demand at the new price is expected to be 650, and at-the-door demand is forecasted at 220 tickets. Which is a better option in 3. this example -traditional pricing or using yield management? 4. If each unit of product A is made up of 2 B's and 1 C; and each B is made up of 1 D and 1 E; and each 5. For the next 3 months, forecasted demand is 200 units each and normal production is 170 units at a 6. If a small factory has one daily shift that operates 440 minutes and workers are given two 20-minute C is made up of 2 D's and 1 F, how many D's are needed to assemble 10 A's if there are 2 B's, 1 C and 3 D's in inventory? If lead times for A-F are 1,2,1,3,2,2 respectively in weeks, when does production of D need to start in order for A to ship in week 107 cost of $50/unit. What is the cost of using a chase strategy with overtime at $70/unit? breaks, what is the takt time if daily demand is 50 units?

Explanation / Answer

2.

3.

Hence Yield management is better.

4.

A = 2B+ 1C = 2(D+E) + 1 (2D+1F)

10 = 20 B + 10C = 20 D + 20 E + 20 D+ 10 F = 40 D + 20 E + 10 F

so net requirement is 40-3 D = 37 D

A 1= B2+ C1 = (D3+E2) + (D3+F2) lead time

So 10 - 1 -2 - 3 weeks = 4 th week
