Assignment+3 PPC+ (Scheduling+Inventory)

This document contains 5 questions regarding production planning and inventory management. Question 1 involves scheduling jobs using the Johnson rule to minimize completion time and calculates idle time. Question 2 compares different priority rules (FCFS, SPT, DDATE) and measures performance. Question 3 calculates optimal order quantity, expected number of orders, and time between orders for an inventory problem. Question 4 calculates reorder point for a store given annual demand, operating days, and delivery time. Question 5 calculates optimal production lot size given annual demand, production rate, setup cost, and carrying cost.

Assignment 3 (due date 25/11/2013)

Production Planning Control- Part 4c (Scheduling) & Part 4d (Inventory) Q1.(a) A shoe repair operation uses a two-step sequence that all jobs in a certain category follow. For the group of jobs listed in the Table 1(a): Table 1(a): A two step sequence of shoe repair operation
A 27 45 B 18 33 Job Times (Minutes) C D E 70 26 15 30 24 10

Workstation 1 Workstation 2

i) By using Johnson method, find the sequence that will minimize total completion time. ( B-A-C-D-E) ii) Determine the amount of idle time for work station 2. ( 37 minutes)

Q2. Job times (including processing and setup) are shown in the following table for five jobs waiting to be processed at a work center:
Job a b c d e Job time (hours) 12 6 14 3 7 Due Date (hours) 15 24 20 8 6

Determine the processing sequence that would result from each of these priority rules and also determine the performance measures (average completion time, average tardiness and number of jobs tardy) for each rule: (i) FCFS (ii) SPT (iii) DDATE

Q3. XYZ Computer Company uses 1,000 transistors each month for its computers assembly. The unit cost of each transistor is $10, and the cost of carrying one transistor in inventory for a year is $3. Ordering cost is $30 per order. Compute: (a) The optimal order quantity. 489.9 490 units (b) The expected number of orders placed each year. 24.5 25 orders per year (c) The expected time between orders. (Assume 200 working day per year)
8 days

Q4. Annual demand for notebook binders at Salina Stationery Shop is 10,000 units. The shop is operating 300 days per year and finds that deliveries from supplier generally takes 5 working days. Calculate the reorder point for the notebook binders.
Salina Stationery Shop should reorder when her stock reaches 167 units

Q5. Leonard Presby Inc. has an annual demand rate of 1,000 units but can produce at average production rate of 2,000 units. Setup cost is $10; carrying cost is $1. What is the optimal number of units to be produced each time.
200 units
