question 5-7
U'se the following information to answer questions 5 7. Suppose a firm makes six products,. Demand forecasts for the coming month are shown below. Also assume the firm operates 20 days in the coming month Monthly Demand 4,000 3.000 5,000 1,000 Product 800 s00 S. Assuming "SMED" has been achieved whereby set up times are negligible (essentially 0), then following a "lean approach to production scheduling, identify the production quantity of units to produce per cycle for each producte n this set of products. D: C. 6. Demonstrate an acceptable planned production schedule to achieve your answer to question 5. 7. Again, assuming "SMED" has been achieved, then following a "lean" approach to production scheduling, calculate the desirable number of production cycles for each unit per day for your answer to question 5.Explanation / Answer
Answer: 5
There are total 20 days...So we have devided the production of each part for 20 daysand the individual product demand is shown for the products for per day requirements.
The numbe rof cycle is also considered as the number of days only. So the production schedule for each parts per cycle will be same as the production schedule for per day.
Total Quantity to be produced in the month is 14300 units. The per day quantity required is 715 units per day. The 715 individual product wise breakup is shwon in the below table.
Answer 6 : The planne dproduction schedule for 20days will be as below
Answer 7 : Number of production cycle per unit per day will be unique only. One cycle per day pe rproduct is considered in thsi calculations.
