Please show all work for all steps:

(3) Problem (Group Technology): Classify the following machines and parts into three part-family groups. Is there any bottleneck machine? If yes, show which one is the bottleneck and how to resolve the issue. (Symbol 1: part visits the machine, and symbol 0: no visit) P5 P7 0 P1 P2 P3 P4 P6 M1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 M4 M5 M6 (a) Find the similarity coefficients between the machines. (b) Rearrange the machines (row) according to the similarity coefficients. (c) Rearrange the parts (column) into part families. (d) Show the bottleneck machine(s) and discuss how to group into three part-family. |

Explanation / Answer

A.

So we get:

P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 P6 P7 M1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 M2 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 M3 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 M4 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 M5 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 M6 0 0 1 0 1 0 0
