1)

We think that a combination layout will be the most beneficial when it come to this example because
components 2 both need in two assembly 1 and 2, when we keep the machine in place as it should be in
process layout and machines are placed accordingly as the production flow line, the operator can
observe the products more carefully and prevent it from defecting.

2)

Looking at the example. When high-volume production is taking place, the calculations obtained using
Equations 2.1 through2.3 are realistic. The use of average values, on the other hand, is less acceptable
when producing small batches. As an illustration, consider a foundry that makes custom-designed
castings in small batches. If the foundry has only one opportunity to manufacture the number of
castings necessary, the likelihood of a satisfactory casting should be considered when selecting the
batch size to be produced.

We can see that d3 and d5 are lower than d1, d2 and d4 so if area for each defected item is 5 times vs
good items, the assembly 1 will have more benefits than assembly 2 considered the outputs of 100,000
and 50,000 products, also if we consider the outputs vs the desired outputs we can see that the
statistics of assembly 2 aren’t much different so we should consider whether if we raise area for each
defected items 5 times more than good items is suitable, or it should just be 2 or 3 times more than the
area of the good items.
