A certain workshop does the maintenance for a production plant. The following parameters are applicable:
the service rate per lathe is 5.5 jobs/week the mean time between failures is 0.2333 days the production loss (Cd) during maintenance is R500/week the cost per lathe is as follows o Fixed cost (Cl) is R200/week o Variable cost is
1) the cost for jobs waiting in the queue causes secondary costs of
(R500*traffic intensity* Wq/lathe/week)
2) machine idle time causes secondary cost of (R200*idle
j) Construct a model to calculate the cost C(n) of the maintenance per week (week=7 days)
Calculate in tabular form the total cost of maintenance per week and show the optimum cost. Round off the intermediate values to 3 decimals. Also show the subcomponents of the calculations in tabular form.
