Kane Manufacturing has a division that produces two models of grates, model A and model B. To produce each model A grate requires 3 pounds of cast iron and 6 minutes of labor. To produce each model B grate requires 4 pounds of cast iron and 3 minutes of labor. The profit for each model A grate is $2.25, and the profit for each model B grate is $1.75. Available for grate production each day are 1000 pounds of cast iron and 20 labor-hours. Because of an excess inventory of model A grates, management has decided to limit the production of model A grates to no more than 180 grates per day.

- The Tinkan Company produces one-pound cans for the Canadian salmon industry. Each year the salmon spawn during a 24-hour period and must be canned immediately. Tinkan has the following agreement with the salmon industry. The company can deliver as many cans as it chooses. Then the salmon are caught. For each can by which Tinkan falls short of the salmon industrys needs, the company pays the industry a 2 penalty. Cans cost Tinkan 1 to produce and are sold by Tinkan for 2 per can. If any cans are left over, they are returned to Tinkan and the company reimburses the industry 2 for each extra can. These extra cans are put in storage for next year. Each year a can is held in storage, a carrying cost equal to 20% of the cans production cost is incurred. It is well known that the number of salmon harvested during a year is strongly related to the number of salmon harvested the previous year. In fact, using past data, Tinkan estimates that the harvest size in year t, Ht (measured in the number of cans required), is related to the harvest size in the previous year, Ht1, by the equation Ht = Ht1et where et is normally distributed with mean 1.02 and standard deviation 0.10. Tinkan plans to use the following production strategy. For some value of x, it produces enough cans at the beginning of year t to bring its inventory up to x+Ht, where Ht is the predicted harvest size in year t. Then it delivers these cans to the salmon industry. For example, if it uses x = 100,000, the predicted harvest size is 500,000 cans, and 80,000 cans are already in inventory, then Tinkan produces and delivers 520,000 cans. Given that the harvest size for the previous year was 550,000 cans, use simulation to help Tinkan develop a production strategy that maximizes its expected profit over the next 20 years. Assume that the company begins year 1 with an initial inventory of 300,000 cans.A machine part to be fabricated may be made from alloy of either of two metals. There is an order for 10,000 units. Metal A costs 3 pesos per kg, while Metal B costs 9 pesos per kg. If Metal A is used, the material per unit weighs 110 grams; for metal B, 30 grams. When metal A is used, 50 units can be produced per hour; for metal B, 80 units per hour. Metal B fabrication requires the aid of a tool costing P1,000, which will be useless after the 10,000 units are finished. The machine operator's wage is P50 per hour. If all other costs are identical, determine which material will be more economical to finish the 10,000-unit order. How much is the total cost difference between the use of metal A and metal B?Three methods can be used for producing heat sensors for high-temperature furnaces. Method A will have a fixed cost of $140,000 per year and a production cost of $62 per part. Method B will have a fixed cost of $210,000 per year and a production cost of $28 per part. Method C will require the purchase of equipment costing $500,000. It will have a life of five years and a 25% of first cost salvage value. The production cost will be $53 per part. At an interest rate of 10% per year, determine the breakeven annual production rate between the two lowest cost methods.
- 4) The making of rivet holes in structural steel members can be done by 2 methods. The first method consists of laying out the position of the holes in the members and using a drill press costing P100k. The machinist is paid P60 per hour and he can drill 80 holes per hour. The second method makes use of a multiple-punch machine costing P80k. The punch operator is paid P40 an hour and he can punch out 1 hole for 3 seconds. This method also requires an expense of P1.25 per hole to set the machine. (a) if all other costs are assumed equal, what is the total cost for each machine for 10k holes, assuming the total cost of each machine to be charged to these holes? (b) for how many holes will the costs be equal?There is an upstream Picking department that feeds two downstream Packing departments: Pack Singles and Pack Multis. Those Packing departments feed to a Shipping department that loads the outgoing trucks. 40% of your Pick volume goes to Pack Singles and has a packing rate of 104 units per labor hour (uph). 60% of the Pick volume goes to Pack Multis and has a pack rate of 215 units per labor hour. Your pickers pick both Single and Multi items throughout the day at an overall average rate of 114 units per labor hour. All units that are packed in both processes go through the Ship process at a rate of 570 units per hour. You have 102 people today for all 4 departments and you absolutely must pack 47,880 units in Pack Multis Items to meet a customer promise metric.

What is a maximum-profit daily production plan for your company?At a small but growing airport, the local airline company is purchasing a new tractor for a tractor-trailer train to bring luggage to and from the airplanes. A new mechanized luggage system will be installed in 3 years, so the tractor will not be needed after that. However, because it will receive heavy use, so that the running and maintenance costs will increase rapidly as the tractor ages, it may still be more economical to replace the tractor after 1 or 2 years. The following table gives the total net discounted cost associated with purchasing a tractor (purchase price minus trade-in allowance, plus running and maintenance costs) at the end of year i and trading it in at the end of year j (where year O is now). i 012 1 $13,000 j 2 $28,000 $17,000 3 $48,000 $33,000 $20,000 The problem is to determine at what times (if any) the tractor should be replaced to minimize the total cost for the tractors over 3 years. (a) Formulate this problem as a minimum cost flow problem by showing the…
