CHAPTER 2

1. You have been asked to plan a facility for a hospital. Explain in detail your first step.

Hint:
- Identify the hospital functions and departments to be incorporated in the facilities plan.
- Identify the key entities for which flow requirements will be needed, e.g., people, paperwork,
operating rooms, emergency rooms, vehicular movement, etc.
- Identify the various criteria that will be used to evaluate the alternative facilities plans generated,
e.g. patient service, cleanliness, logic of travel between departments, ease of expansion/updating, cost
- Determine the time period over which the facilities requirements will be estimated.
- Estimate space and flow requirements and determine activity relationships. Generate alternative
facilities plans.

2. A computer recycler sells computer enclosures to a computer remanufacturer. To meet monthly


expected demand, the remanufacturer needs 2,000 enclosures. The recycler utilizes a four-step
disassembly process with scrap rates given as follows: d1 = 0.08, d2 = 0.05, d3 = 0.05, and d4 = 0.03.
How many computers must the recycler receive each month in order to meet the remanufacturer’s
demand?

Answer: 2000/[(0.92)(0.95)(0.95)(0.97)] = 2,483 enclosures (rounded to nearest integer)

3. Consider a simple three-step manufacturing process as illustrated in the given figure. Assuming that
demand is 1,000 units, what is the required input to meet demand? You’ll note that the required input
the same if the scrap rates are reversed for processes 1 and 3. Assume that the scrap cost is $5 at process
1, $10 at process 2, and $15 at process 3. The defective rates are 3%, 5%, and 7%. Respectively.
Compute the total scrap cost for the given system and the system where the scrap rates are reversed.
Which system would be preferred?

Answer:
I1 = 1,000/(0.93)(0.95)(0.97) = 1,167 units
I2 = 1,000/(0.93)(0.95) = 1,132 units
I3 = 1,000/0.97 = 1,075 units
Process 3: 1,075 – 1,000 = 75 units → scrap cost = $15 (75) = $ 1,125
. . . . .
Total scrap cost = $1,865
Similar . . . .
Total scrap cost (reverse) = $1,415
(All Ik values are rounded to the nearest integer)

4. Given the figure below, operation 4 represents a rework operation on parts that fail inspection upon
completion of operation 2.
How many units must the process start with in order to meet the required output of 5000 units?

Answer:
O1 = (1 – d1)I1
O2 = (1 – d2)(1 – d1)I1
I4 = d2(1 – d1)I1
O4 = (1 – d4)(d2)(1 – d1)I1
I3 = O2 + O4 = [(1 – d2)(1 -d1) + (1 – d4)(1 – d1)d2]I1
O3 = (1 – d3)[(1 – d2)(1 – d1) + (1 - d4)(1 – d1)d2]I1
→ I1 = 5,854 units
