Homework #5 - the From To chart Your factory started several years ago manufacturing a specific product and you formed the layout of the plant based on the manufacturing process for this part. This is the routing sequence and weight for this part, which we'll call Product #1: Raw Material / Mill / Paint / Turn / Saw / Inspect / Stores weight = 1 lb. You have had great success manufacturing this part, and have added (4) more products without changing the layout. You're beginning to see some inefficiencies and decided to perform a makeover and re-layout the plant. Here are the routing sequences and weights for the other products: PRODUCT #2: Raw Mat'l / Saw / Turn / Inspect / Stores weight = 5 lbs. PRODUCT #3: Raw Mat'l / Saw / Turn / Mill / Paint / Inspect / Stores weight = 15 lbs. PRODUCT #4: Raw Mati / Turn / Mill / Inspect / Stores weight = 3 lbs. PRODUCT #5: Raw Mat'l / Saw / Turn / Paint / Inspect / Stores weight = 6 lbs. = ASSIGNMENT #1: Create (2) String Diagrams. The initial String Diagram will have the operations in the same sequence as the routing sequence of Product #1. The second diagram will be your best attempt to improve the layout based on your observations of the routing sequences of ALL of the parts. Show your work, and connect the operations with different types of lines or different line colors to distinguish each of the (5) products. Count the points by assigning one point to each step forward, and penalize any backtracking by assigning two points for each step backward. Assignment #1 is worth 55 total points: (20) for each diagram, (5) for each question below. Answer these questions: What is the theoretical best layout? (points) What is the point total for the initial layout (total all (5) products)? What is the point total for your improved layout? 1 Part 2 - From - To Chart Construction ASSIGNMENT #2: Using the blank forms provided on Blackboard, construct (2) From - To charts. Chart #1 will be for the initial layout as described above. Chart #2 will be for the improved layout. You must factor the weights into the creation of the table. Follow the instructions in the book - assigning multipliers to the weights based on number of steps. Penalize any backtracking travel by doubling the multiplier as the book does. Remember that travel beneath the diagonal line is backtracking. This exercise is worth 70 points - 30 pts for each chart and 5 points for each question below. Answer these questions: What is the point total for the initial layout (total all (5) products}? What is the point total for your improved layout? 2
