Question #2 (12 points) Figure 1 below, shows partial layout of a manufacturing plant. In this plant, parts are produced in departments #1, #2, and #3 The parts, after production, are transferred, by lift trucks, to the Temporary Storage. All material in the temporary storage are then transferred by large trucks to a warehouse near the plant. Suppose in this project you are only concerned about transfer of products from departments (1, 2, and 3) to the Temporary Storage. Use the information provided on the layout and table 1 below and determine 1)-How many lift trucks are needed. 2)- what is the daily transportation workload. Assumption: lift truck speed of 200 ft/min and a congestion factor of 0.85 FIGURE 1. Partial Plant Layout 100' 160 100' Offices, (sales, data- Entry,...)
