2. Batch Processing (20 Scores) Consider four batch processes, producing product A, B, C and D, as displayed in Table below. Each process uses the four pieces of equipment in the same sequencing order but for different times. Market demand dictate that equal numbers of batches of the four products be produced over a prolonged period of time. (2.1) Determine the total number of batches (ABCDABCD...) that can be produced in production cycle equal to one month of operation of the plant using single product campaigns for each product, assuming that a month of operation is equivalent to 500 h. (10 Scores) (2.2) Determine the number of batches (ABCDABCD...) that can be produced in a month, assuming that a month of operation is equivalent to 500 h using multi-product campaigns. Please you also showed a Gantt chart for this sequence. (10 Scores) Total Time Product Time (h) In Mixer In Reactor In Separator In Packaging (h) A 1.5 2.5 1.0 2.0 8.0 B 1.5 1.5 2.5 1.5 7.0 C 1.0 3.0 4.5 2.5 11.0 D 1.0 4.5 3.5 3.0 12.0 Determine the total number of batches (ABCDABCD...) that can be produced in duction cycle equal to one month of operation of the plant using single product campaigns each product, assuming that a month of operation is equivalent to 500 h.
