Question: Problem 2 . 2 5 from the text. Part A is produced in machines 1 and 2 . Part B is produced in machines 3

Problem 2.25 from the text.
"Part A is produced in machines 1 and 2. Part B is produced in machines 3 and 4. Parts
A and B are assembled in workstation 5 to create C. Assembly C is painted in process 6.
Given the scrap percentages d1,dots,d6 for each operation and the desired output O6 for
C , determine an equation that can be used to calculate the required input 11 to machine
1."
Assume that part A must pass through machines 1 and 2 to be completed. For example,
machine 1 drills a hole and machine 2 puts a taper in the hole made at machine 1.
Similarly, part B must pass through both machines 3 and 4 to be completed. Please note
that on problem 2.25 that "the desired output 06" means the output of station 6 and that
"input 11 to machine 1" is a typo and means the input to machine 1(it ought to read
"input to machine 1").(25 pts)
a. Determine an equation for the required input for both machines 1 and 3(not just
machine 1 as stated in the problem.)
b. Determine the required input for both machines 1 and 3 if the following scrap
percentages apply: 1=.10,p2=.05,p3=.05,p4=.02,p5=.04,p6=.01.
c. If the desired output of parts at station 6 is 70 parts per hour determine the input
rate of parts required at stations 1 and 3 for the problem variation described in
part b of this problem.
d. How does the answer to part b change if 75% of the defects at machine 1 and
99% of the defects at machine 5 can be reworked? Give both a qualitative and
quantitative answer - the quantitative answer will relate I 1 to O 6 for example but
will not be a number such as start with 100 parts because no numeric value is
specified for O6.
