Chapter 2

Consider product line A in preceding Problem 2.1. Its three models have an average of 46 components each, and the average number of operations needed to produce each component is 3.5. All components are made in the same plant. Determine the total number of (a) components produced and (b) operations performed in the plant annually.

Solve for (a): npf = PQn_p =?

The total number of components produced is given by Eq. (2.7)

Solve for (b): n_of = PQn_pn_{o =} ?

The total number of operations performed annually in the plant is given by Eq. (2.9).

n_pf = total number of parts (2.7 p40) = PQn_p

P = Total number of different parts or types p38

Q = Total quantity of all parts or production p37

n_p = Number of parts in product p39

n_o = Number of operations p39

Select the values for a and b

A: a=55,265 Components and b = 193,155 operations

B: a=55,205 Components and b = 193,255 operations

C: a=55,200 Components and b = 193,200 operations

D: a= 52,300 components and b = 139, 200 operations
