A manager wants to assign tasks to workstations as efficiently as possible and achieve an hourly output of 30 units. Assume the shop works a 58-minute hour. Assign the tasks shown in the accompanying precedence diagram (times are in minutes) to workstations using the following rules: a. What is Cycle time? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Cycle Time 1.9 minutes In order of most following tasks. Tiebreaker: greatest positional weight. (Use your rounded cycle time. Enter your tasks in the order they were assigned at each station as a letter between a and h in lowercase with no other text or symbols. Round your numerical answers to 1 decimal place.) Work Station Task Task Time Time Remaining I A 1.9 II B 0.5 C 0.6 III D 0.8 E 0.9 F 0.5 IV G 0.5 H 0.6 What is Efficiency? (Use your rounded cycle time in the denominator of your efficiency calculation. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Efficiency % b. In order of greatest positional weight.

Step 1
Cycle time is the time available per hour divided by the desired hourly output. In this case, we have 58 minutes per hour and we want to achieve an output of 30 units per hour. Cycle Time = (Time available per hour) / (Desired hourly output) Cycle Time = (58 Show moreā¦

The management of Hartman Company is trying to determine the amount of each of two products to produce over the coming planning period. The following information concerns labor availability, labor utilization, and product profitability: Labor-Hours Required (hours/unit) Department Product 1 Product 2 Hours Available A 1.00 0.35 95 B 0.30 0.20 38 C 0.20 0.50 50 Profit contribution/unit $30.00 $15.00 (a) Develop a linear programming model of the Hartman Company problem. Solve the model to determine the optimal production quantities of products 1 and 2. If required, round your answer to two decimal places. Product 1 Product 2 Production (b) In computing the profit contribution per unit, management does not deduct labor costs because they are considered fixed for the upcoming planning period. However, suppose that overtime can be scheduled in some of the departments. Which departments would you recommend scheduling for overtime? - Select your answer - Dept A Dept B Dept C Item 3 What is the upper limit of what you would be willing to pay per hour of overtime in the department you recommended? If required, round your answer to two decimal places. (c) Suppose that 8, 6, and 8 hours of overtime may be scheduled in departments A, B, and C, respectively. The cost per hour of overtime is $18 in department A, $22.50 in department B, and $12 in department C. Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine the optimal production quantities if overtime is made available. What are the optimal production quantities, and what is the revised total contribution to profit? If required, round your answer to two decimal places. Product 1 Product 2 Production If required, round your answer to nearest whole number. Total Profit $ How much overtime do you recommend using in each department? If required, round your answer to two decimal places. If your answer is zero, enter "0". OT hours: Dept. Used A B C What is the increase in the total contribution to profit if overtime is used? If required, round your answer to nearest whole number. $
