Question
1) A company produces three different products (Product A, Product B). In main plant, there are 4 work centers which are WC1: cutting, WC2: bending, WC3: drilling, WC4: assembly stations Forecasts and committed orders for Product A and B are given below for six months. Month 4 100 75 MPS for A 50 50 50 50 100 MPS for B 20 25 20 50 50 Each product has different production routes with the required processing times which are given below Resource Time(hoursesource Time(hours) 0.37 1.41 0.52 0.88 3.18 WC3 WC1 WC2 WC4 Total 1.72 0.47 WC1 WC3 WC2 WC4 Total 0.95 4.24 Monthly capacity of WC1, WC2, WC3 and WC4 is 250, 850, 500 and 400 hours, respectively. Using Capacity Planning Using Overall Factors (CPOF) check whether the MPS developed for each product is feasible or not. If the MPS is not feasible, then revise your MPS by trial-and-error so that capacity requirements do not exceed the available a. Using Bill of labor approach, determine the number of hours required in the work centers for each month. (Calculations should be based on revised MPS.) Resource profile is given below. Calculate the required capacity for each period by using Resource Profile Approach b. c.Explanation / Answer
A.
As per the capacity utilization:
Each month the capacity is enough.
B.
So the hours required every month is :
The calculation is by :
units produced * Time taken , for A and B for each WC, from 1 to 4.
