SUBJECT OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

Scenario:

You're the operations manager of a

manufacturing plant that produces three

products: A$,$ B$,$ and C$.$ Demand is increasing,

leading to capacity issues.

Data:

Processing times $($minutes per unit$)$:

Machine Availability:

Machine $1$: $480$ minutes per day

Machine $2$: $480$ minutes per day

Machine $3$: $480$ minutes per day

Profit per unit:

Product A: $$20$

Product B: $$30$

Product C: $$15$

Diagram:

Machine $1->$ Machine $2->$ Machine $3$

Questions:

Bottleneck Analysis:

Identify the bottleneck machine in the

current process.

Calculate the maximum daily output

$($units$)$ of each product based on the

bottleneck.

Capacity Expansion:

You have a budget to increase the

capacity of one machine.

Determine which machine's capacity to

increase, and by how many minutes, to

maximize daily profit. Justify your answer

with calculations.

Product Prioritization:

Given the limited capacity, develop a

production schedule that maximizes

overall daily profit. Show the calculations

to support your schedule.
