Problem 3.14
A machine shop has four machines of five different types and operates 40 hours per week. Part-mix ratios, batch quantities, part routings, machines, servers, and production times are given in the table below for the five part styles produced in the shop. Operation sequence for each part style is in the order of station number. Part styles are identified by letter and stations are identified by number. Determine (a) which station is the bottleneck, (b) total production rate of all five parts, (c) production rates of each of the five part styles, (d) utilization of each server at each station, and (e) average utilization of the machine shop.
Homework Answers
Answer: I have read the complete question and have understood the question but there is some amount of data that is missing in the question. That data needs to be related to part mix ratios, bath quantities, part routing, machines, servers and production times for all the five styles that are produced in the shop.
Please re-post the question with the necessary data. Kindly do not down vote this, I will share you the answer as you re-post with required details.

1. A flexible manufacturing cell consists of two machining workstations plus a load/unload station. The load/unload station is station 1 with one server (human worker). Station 2 consists of one CNC machining center. Station 3 has one CNC drill press. The three stations are connected by a part-handling system that has one work carrier. The mean transport time is 2.0 min. The FMC produces three parts, A, B, and C. The part mix fractions and process routings for the three...

Arena Simulation. Five identical machines operate independently in a small shop. Each machine is up (i.e., works) for between six and ten hours (uniformly distributes) and then breaks down. There are two repair technicians available, and it takes one technician between one and three hours (uniformly distributed) to fix a machine; only one technician can be assigned to work on a broken machine even if the other technician is idle. If more than two machines are broken down at a...

A manager is trying to decide whether to buy one machine or two. If only one machine is purchased and demand proves to be excessive, the second machine can be purchased later. Some sales would be lost, however, because the lead time for delivery of this type of machine is six months. In addition, the cost per machine will be lower if both machines are purchased at the same time. The probability of low demand is estimated to be 0.20...
