Williams' Wire LLC produces three types, Product I, Product II and Product III, of cable for industrial purposes. Three machines, Machine A, Machine B and Machine C, are utilized to achieve three processes, weaving, coating and coiling, respectively. The abovementioned processes differ in duration for the three products, Product I, Product II and Product III and are listed below in hours. The firm operates throughout the year except for 117 closure dates. The plant operates three 8-hour shifts. All machines require varying intervals of calibration, cleaning and maintenance and are conducted in accordance with the following schedule: Calibration Cleaning Maintenance Machine A Machine B Machine C Frequency (Hours) Duration (Minutes) Frequency (Hours) Duration (Minutes) Frequency (Hours) Duration (Minutes) 130 250 550 30 50 120 150 500 320 20 30 45 100 350 220 25 40 60 *For example, Machine A undergoes a 30-minute calibration every 130 hours of operation. During this time, Process I is not being executed. 1. What is the design capacity of the plant's hours of operation to produce products? In essence, what are the available hours of operation when only considering days of closure? 2. What is the effective capacity in hours of each, A, B and C, machine type? Three product types, Product I, Product II and Product III, require different processing intervals during production. Specifically, the following table depicts the processing time in hours for each product/process combination: Product I Process 1 / Unit Process 2 / Unit Process 3/Unit Machine A 1,250 Machine B 55 Machine C 1,175 Product II Process 1 / Unit Process 2 / Unit Process 3 / Unit Machine A 1,200 Machine B 48 Machine C 1,250 Product III Process 1 / Unit Process 2 / Unit Process 3 / Unit Machine A 1,320 Machine B 60 Machine C 1,270 3.
