Question: 2. (a) (10 pts) The below matrix is a representation of the machines visited by a set of parts during production. Group parts and machines
2. (a) (10 pts) The below matrix is a representation of the machines visited by a set of parts during production. Group parts and machines together to form uniform manufacturing cells. Part No. Punching Man. Welding Rob. Welding Leak Test Assembly 1 1 1 2 1 3 1 1 1 4 1 1 5 1 6 1 (b) (5 pts) On another department of the facility, three products (A, B, and C) are produced on three machines (activities) labeled 1, 2 and 3. Assume Product B is twice as "difficult to move as A or C. Considering the process plan provided in the table below, calculate the equivalent flow volume on a from-to-chart. Product Process Plan A 1-2-3 Quantities/Shift 10 5 15 B 2-1 3-1-2 (c) (10 pts] Planning department for the same company consists of 12 machines that perform turning operations. Four turret lathes, six automatic screw machines, and two chuckers are included in the planning department. Bar stock, in 8-ft bundles, is delivered to the machines. The "footprints" for the machines are 5 x 10 ft for turret lathes, 4 x 12 ft for screw machines, and 5 x 8 ft for chuckers. Personnel space footprints of 4 x 6 ft are used. Materials storage requirements are estimated to be 30 ft per turret lathe, 45 ft per screw machine, and 40 ft' per chucker. If an aisle space allowance 20% is used, determine the total floor space required for the planning department. 2.
