Question: Following table shows MPS for a specific product ( P 1 ) for twelve months. table [ [ , Month,, ] , [ 1

Following table shows MPS for a specific product (P1) for twelve months.
\table[[,Month,,],[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12],[MPS,500,750,650,500,500,650,600,600,650,600,600,650]]
This product requires 9.2 standard hours of machine/labor time, as shown in the bill of labor (BOL) below. There are three workstations, WC1: Turning, WC 2: Milling and WC3: Drilling.
\table[[Resource,WC1,WC2,WC3,Total],[Time (hours),3.0,3.5,2.7,9.2]]
(a) Calculate required capacity for each workstation in each period by using capacity planning using overall factors (CPOF).
(b) Company decided to produce a new product (P2) with following MPS and BOL.
\table[[,Month,,],[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12],[MPS,0,0,0,350,400,450,400,400,450,350,350,400]]
\table[[Resource,WC1,WC2,WC3,Total],[Time (hours),2.0,4.0,1.5,7.5]]
Consider both products P1 and P2 and calculate required capacity in each workstation by the Bill of Labor Approach.
(c) Resource profiles for products P1 and P2 are given below.
\table[[Product P1,Months before due date],[1,0],[WC1,3.0,0],[WC2,3.5,0],[WC3,0,2.7]]
\table[[Product P2,Months before due date],[1,0],[WC1,2.0,0],[WC2,0,4.0],[WC3,0,1.5]]
Calculate the required capacity in each workstation by using the Resource Profile Approach.
Draw a graph to illustrate the machine load report of the workstations.
What should the minimum available capacities of the workstations?
