Review the problem below taken from Heizer & Render MSOM. Let us assume that the work cell is available to run Monday thru Friday from 8:00 AM 6:00 PM and is not running if it is producing product to go into inventory. On Monday at 6:00 PM a customer calls his Customer Service Representative to request 300 units to be shipped out Saturday morning (because of the no make-to-stock policy no units were produced on Monday). Which of the following is true (what should the CS person tell the customer?) The three-station work cell illustrated in the figure below has a product that must go through one of the two machines at station 1 (they are parallel) before proceeding to station 2 Capacity: 20 units/ht Station 1 Machine A Station 1 Machine B Capacity: 20 units/hr Station 2 Capacity: 5 units/hr Station 3 Capacity: 12 units/hr a) The bottleneck time of the system is 12 minutes per unit (enter your response as a whole number). b) Station 2 is the bottleneck station. c) The throughput time is 20 minutes (enter your response as a whole number). d) If the firm operates 10 hours per day, 5 days per week, the weekly capacity of this work cell is 250 units (enter your response as a whole number). a.) The difference between material and capacity availability is that make-to-stock product is available to promise/allocate but unused capacity is unavailable to promise after the time period has ended. b.) If the company produced to inventory on Monday, 250 units would be available. All of the answers, a., b.& c., are true, therefore the order cannot be fulfilled by the date requested. c.) The company can only produce 200 units given the current available capacity
