1.

The Alpha Beta Company produces two products; A and B, that are made from
components C and D. Given the following product structures, master scheduling
requirements, and inventory information, determine when orders should be released for
A, B, C, and D and the size of those orders.

2. Referring to the product structure diagram for product A


Determine:
a. how many K’s are needed for each A.
b. how many E’s are needed for each A.
c. the low-level code for item E.
3. Product A is assembled from two units of S1 and three units of S2. S1 is made of one unit
of C1, four units of C2, and one unit of C3. S2 is made of three units of C2 and two units
of C3.
a. Draw a product structure diagram for product A.
b. How many C3’s are needed to fill an order for 100 A’s?
c. Assume no inventory on hand, products take one day to assemble, subassemblies take
two days and components take three days. When should an order be released for C3 if the
100 A’s are needed by day 7?

4. The daily demand for an item is shown here. Assume a holding cost of $0.50 per unit per
day, a setup cost of $100 per setup, a lead time of one day and 70 units on hand.
Determine when a work order should be released for the item and the size of the order
using the L4L, EOQ, and POQ lot-sizing techniques. Which technique produces the
lowest total cost?
5. Files and More, Inc. (F&M), a manufacturer of office equipment, uses MRP to schedule
its production. Because of the current recession and the need to cut costs, F&M has
targeted inventory as a prime area for cost reduction. However, the company does not
want to reduce its customer service level in the process. Demand and inventory data for a
two-drawer file cabinet are given in the following table. Complete an MRP matrix for the
file cabinet using: (a) L4L, (b) EOQ, and (c) POQ lot sizing. Which lot-sizing rule do you
recommend?

Ordering cost=$1000
Beginning inventory = 25
Lead time = 1 period
Holding cost = $1 per cabinet per period

6. Copy Courier (CC) is a fledgling copy center in downtown Richmond run by two college
students. Currently, the equipment consists of two high-speed copiers that can be
operated by one operator. If the students work alone, it is conceivable that two shifts per
day can be staffed. The students each work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. They do not
take breaks during the day, but they do allow themselves 30 minutes for lunch or dinner.
In addition, they service the machines for about 30 minutes at the beginning of each shift.
The time required to set up for each order varies by the type of paper, use of color,
number of copies, and so on. Estimates of setup time are kept with each order. Since the
machines are new, their efficiency is estimated at 90%. Due to extensive advertising and
new customer incentives, orders have been pouring in. The students need help
determining the capacity of their operation and the current load on their facility. Use the
following information to calculate the normal daily capacity of Copy Courier and to
project next Monday’s load and load percent

7. Bryan is Professor Russell’s graduate assistant. He would like to leave for Spring Break
tomorrow, but first he has to grade the midterm exams from four classes. These classes
are new for Bryan, so he estimates his grading efficiency to be 80%. Professor Russell
has estimated the time required to create the key and the time to grade each paper as
shown below. Bryan anticipates that he’ll need five hours of sleep, an hour to pack, an
hour to get to the airport, an hour to post the grades, and three twenty minute breaks
during the day for meals. Can Bryan finish his work and make it to the airport on time in
a 24 hour day?

8. The Best Wheels Bicycle Company has scheduled the production of the following
bicycles this month.
The two critical work centers for producing these bikes are welding and assembly.
Welding has an efficiency of 95% and a utilization of 90%. Assembly has an efficiency
of 90% and a utilization of 92%. The time required (in hours) by each bike in the two
work centers is as follows:

Assume 40 hours is available per week for each work center. Calculate the capacity and
load percent per work center per week.
