Production Planning

QUESTION 2 - RANK ORDER CLUSTERING (ROC) ALGORITHM (50 pts) A manufacturer of underground transformers wants to change its existing job-shop layout to a CMS layout. The system design team has examined past year's production data and has found that the 20 part types shown in the following table account for 90% of the production. Determine how machine groups and part families are to be formed using the ROC algorithm. You may assume that production volumes for each part type are roughly the same. 10 2 5 B 1 7 e 9 10 11 12 13 14 1 15 16 17 16 19 20 Part-machine processing indicator matrix QUESTION 2 - RANK ORDER CLUSTERING (ROC) ALGORITHM (50 pts) A manufacturer of underground transformers wants to change its existing job-shop layout to a CMS layout.
