Assume we are looking at 3 sequential assembly stages.
There are 8 hours in a work day, and the system operates for 6 days per week.
Stage A: Installs internal parts. Can produce 20cars/hr- initial set up time of 20 minutes. When changing the car module or size
Stage B: External properties. Can produce 20cars/hr. Must be shut down for maintenance and cleaning for 30 minutes after every 90 minutes of operation.
Stage C: Trims and accessories etc. Can process 18cars/hr.
Models X, Model Y and Model Z. Set up is only required for changing the model in stage A.
There will be an equal number of each model produced per week
Within a day you will need to produce at least 1 model
You can have more than 1 batch of each model produced within a single day
Question: Develop a sequence for how the models will be produced over the 6 day period. How many of each model can be produced per day?
