[1] A part requires three processing steps on two machines in the sequence A-B-A. The demand for
this part is 10,000 units/yr. The company operates six days/week, eight hrs/day. Given the following
performance data, find the number of each machine needed to meet the demand.
operation machine Standard Efficiency Reliability Defects
Time (min.)
1 A 5 108% 98% 3%
2 B 3 95% 95% 5%
3 A 3 90% 95% 5%
[2] Given the following, what are the machine fractions for machines A, B, and C to produce parts X
and Y?
Machine A Machine B Machine C
Part X standard time 0.15 hr 0.25 hr 0.1 hr
Part Y standard time 0.10 hr 0.10 hr 0.15 hr
Part X defect estimate 5% 4% 3%
Part Y defect estimate 5% 4% 3%
Historical efficiency 85% 90% 95%
Reliability factor 95% 90% 85%
Equipment availability 1600hr/yr 1600 hr/yr 1600 hr/yr
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.
[3] In a certain factory it is required to produce 2800 pieces/week., with 4% rejected pieces by using
the following machine tools:
Operation Machine Op. time (min.) Dimension (Cm.)
1. turning c. lathe 3.5 300 x 60
2. milling H milling m/c 2.6 220 x 100(20 travel)
3. drilling b. drill 3.0 80 x 60
4. grinding s. grinder 8.5 300 x 200
5. assembly assembly station - 200 x 100
6. inspection inspection station - 100 x 80
a) Calculate the number of required machines.
b) Sketch the layout of this workshop using U flow pattern.
[4] During one eight-hour shift, 750 nondefective parts are desired from a fabrication
operation. The standard time for the operation is 15 minutes. Because the machine
operators are unskilled, the actual time it takes to perform the operation is 20 minutes,
[6] The stamped metal products company makes among other things a V-belt pulley. The pulley sales
forecasts indicate a capacity need for 10,000 pulleys/week, the average plant efficiency is 90%.
Calculate the number of needed machines, according to the following table.

Determine the workshop area and draw with suitable scale the appropriate layout for
the manufacture of the V-belt pulley, if the machines are with following dimensions:
Turret lathe/8x2/, punch press /6x3/, drill press /6x4/, arbor press /4x 1.5/,
Small spot welder /2x 0.5/, large spot welder / 2.5 x 2 /, drill press / 5x2 /,
Polish lathe /5x2/, inspection space /4x3/, raw material storage / 15x10/,
