    EXAMPLE OF MIDTERM EXAM MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS


    Question 1 (2.0 points): Why in jobbing (job-shop) production, high worker-skill level is required, but in
    mass production, it is not required? Give examples?

    Question 2 (3.0 points): There are 25 new batches of parts launched each week. The average part produced
    in a certain batch manufacturing plant must be processed through an average of five machines. Other
    pertinent data are as follows:
    Average operation time = 8 minutes
    Average setup time = 3 hours
    Average batch size = 1N parts (N is the last number of your student ID; for example N =0, then the average
    batch size is 10)
    Average non-operation time per batch = 15 hours
    There are 15 machines in the plant. The plant operates an average of 60 production hours per week. The
    scrap rate is negligible.
    a. Determine the manufacturing lead time for an average part?
    b. Determine the plant capacity?
    c. Determine the plant utilization?

    Question 3 (3.0 points): The mean time between failures and the mean time to repair in a certain
    department of the factory are 4N0 hours and 10 hours, respectively (N is the last number of your student D;
    for example N= 0, then the mean time between failures is 400 hours). The department operates 20 machines
    during one 8-hour shift per day, 5 days per week, 52 weeks per year. Each time a machine breaks down, it
    costs the company $250 per hour (per machine) in lost revenue. A proposal had been submitted to install a
    preventive maintenance program in this department. In this program, preventive maintenance would be
    performed on the machines during the evening so that there will be no interruptions to production during the
    regular shift. The effect of this program is expected to be that the average MTBF will double, and haft of
    emergency repair time normally accomplished during the day shift will be performed during the evening
    shift. The cost of a maintenance crew will be $2000 per week. However, a reduction of maintenance
    personnel on the day shift will result in savings during the regular shift of $750 per week.
    a. Compute the availability of machines in the department both before and after the preventive maintenance
    program is installed?
    b. Determine how many total hours per year the 25 machines in the department are under repair both before
    and after the preventive maintenance program is installed?
    c. Will the preventive maintenance program pay for itself in terms of savings in the costs of lost revenues?

    Question 4 (2.0 points): Present the 5 steps for process design to design and improve a new laptop?
