Question 7.7
In order to evaluate the current layout, we need to calculate the composite, or back-and-forth,
movements between departments. The results below list composite movements and rank
them from highest to lowest.
Composite Movements Composite Movements
1 <-> 6 140 2 <->4 50
3 <-> 6 90 2 <->5 50
3 <-> 5 80 3 <->4 30
2 <-> 6 80 1 <->4 25
5 <->6 80 4 <->5 20
2 <->3 70 1 <->3 10
4 <->6 60 1 <->5 10
1 <->2 50    

Next, we evaluate the “goodness” of the layout by scoring it in terms of nonadjacent loads.

Nonadjacent Loads
1 <->3 10
1 <->4 25
3 <-> 5 80
4 <->5 20
Total 135

Course: Production Management

 International University (IU) - VNU HCMC

The adjacent moves are marked with a solid line and the nonadjacent moves are shown
with a curved dashed line to highlight the fact that material is moved farther than we would
like, that is, across more than one square.
Thus, the score for this layout is 135 nonadjacent loads.
b) To improve the layout, we can switch department
4 and 5 Nonadjacent Loads
3 <->4 30
4 <->5 20
1 <->3 10
1 <->5 10
Total 70
The score for
this layout in this case is 70 nonadjacent loads.

Question 7.11
Designing the revised layout:

Question 7.12
Facility Layout: It is a significant component of an association. It is required both for compelling
business activities and to meet the prerequisites and necessities of an Individual. At the end of
the day, office format Is the arrangement of physical offices in a characterized manner. An
ineffectively planned format can prompt the conclusion of business.

Fixed position layout: This sort of cycle is regularly utilized in associations. Under this cycle the
machine of hardware is fixed that is it is put at one spot and other crude material, assets and
administrations are conveyed to that place for the additional progressing cycle. The creation of
enormous and substantial hardware like structures, planes, ships trains are viewed as in fixed
position design.

Or then again at the end of the day, we may likewise call it as tasks where an elevated level of
arranging and control is done when contrasted with different sorts of formats.

Question 7.15
We got the table below:

Destination X Y Quantity

D1 1000 1250 7000

D2 1500 2700 9000

D3 2000 700 11500

D4 32 25 4300

We have to calculate the center gravity D (Xc,Yc)

Xc =
( X 1 xQ1)+( X 2 xQ 2)+( X 3 xQ3)+( X 4 xQ 4) (1000 x 7000)+(1500 x 9000)+( 2000 x 11500)+(32 x 4300)
=
Q1+Q 2+Q 3+Q 4 7000+ 9000+11500+ 43000
= 1372,25

 International University (IU) - VNU HCMC

Yc =
(Y 1 xQ 1)+(Y 2 xQ 2)+(Y 3 xQ3)+(Y 4 xQ 4) (1250 x 7000)+(2700 x 9000)+(700 x 11500)+(25 x 4300)
=
Q 1+ Q2+Q 3+Q 4 7000+ 9000+11500+43000
= 1295,83333
=> We got the center of the gravity D (Xc,Yc) in excel

Question 7.21

We got Table below presenting the location cordinations

We calculate the x and y coordinates using the following formula

The value of x and y coordinates are as follows:

Course: Production Management

 International University (IU) - VNU HCMC

The best site for Somerset’s distribution center

x = 1599.813
y = 1766.822

Question 1
a) Available time = 40*60 minutes = 2400 minutes
Required production = 120 units

So, the cycle time

= Available time / Required production

= 2400/120 = 20 minutes

Theoretical minimum number of workers

= Sum of the task times / Cycle time

= (8+4+7+3+7+11+2+8)/20 = 2.5 i.e., 3

Balance the line using the longest processing time first heuristic as follows:

Totals       50   10   7

Three workers will be needed and the assignment is as follows:

Course: Production Management

 International University (IU) - VNU HCMC

+ Worker-I: {A, C, B}
+ Worker-II: {E, F}
+ Worker-III: {D, G, H}

Efficiency = Sum of the task times / (Number of workers x Improved cycle time)

= 50/(3*19) = 87.7%

b)

Available time = 40*60 minutes = 2400 minutes

Required production = 100 units

So, the cycle time = Available time / Required production = 2400/100 = 24 minutes

Still, three workers will be needed and the assignment is as follows:

+ Worker-I: {A, C, B, D, G}
+ Worker-II: {H, E}
+ Worker-III: {F}

Efficiency = Sum of the task times / (Number of workers x Cycle time) = 50/(3*24) = 69.4%

Question 2

a)

b)

The flow time is the time required to produce an item completely if only one unit is being
produced at a time.

Flow time = 30 + 15 + 10 + 5 + 10 + 10 = 80 minutes

Cycle time = Weekly production time available/ Units to be produced weekly

Cycle time = (40 hrs x 60 mins) /50 = 48 minutes

c)

Minimum number of work stations = Total task time / Cycle time

Minimum number of work stations = 80 mins / 48 = 2 work stations

Efficiency = (sum of the task time) / [(number of work stations x (cycle time)]

Efficiency = 80 / (2x48) = 83,33%

d)

If 80 cases per week would be produced

Cycle time = (40 hours x 60 minutes) / 80 = 30 minutes

Number of work station = 80 mins / 30 mins = 3 work stations

Efficiency = 80 / (3x30) = 88,89%
