Table 4.3 The North Bend Manufacturing Company is producing two types of products, A and B. Demand forecasts for next year and other production-related information are provided in the following table: \[\begin{array} { l | c | c } & \text { Product A } & \text { Product B } \\ \hline \text { Demand forecast (units/yr) } & 4,000 & 12,000 \\ \text { Batch size (units/batch) } & 80 & 150 \\ \text { Standard processing time (hr/unit) } & 2.5 & 2 \\ \text { Standard setup time (hr/batch } & 18 & 24 \end{array}\] Both products A and B are produced at the same operation called MASAC27A. -Using the information in Table 4.3,what is the total number of hours required for MASAC27A equipment for the next year?

A) 34,000 hours B) 34,285 hours C) 36,820 hours D) 312,000 hours A) 34,000 hours B) 34,285 hours C) 36,820 hours D) 312,000 hours

A) less than 13 machines B) 13 machines C) 14 machines D) more than 14 machines A) less than 13 machines B) 13 machines C) 14 machines D) more than 14 machines

Table 4.2 High Tech, Inc. is producing two types of products: A and B. Both are produced at the same sawing operation. Because of demand uncertainties, the operations manager obtained three demand forecasts (pessimistic, expected, and optimistic). The demand forecasts, batch sizes (units/batch), processing times (hr/unit), and setup times (hr/batch) follow. \(\begin{array}{c} \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\text { Time Standard } \quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \text { Demand Forecasts ( 000 units/yr) }\\ \begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \text { Product } & \text { Processing } & \text { Setup } & \text { Batch Size } & \text { Pessimistic } & \text { Expected } & \text { Optimistic } \\ \hline \text { A } & .20 & 2.0 & 40 & 200 & 240 & 300 \\ \text { B } & .15 & 3.0 & 50 & 160 & 180 & 200 \\ \hline \end{array}\end{array}\) The sawing machines operate on two 8-hour shifts, 5 days per week, and 50 weeks per year. The manager wants to maintain a 10 percent capacity cushion. -Using the information from Table 4.2,what is the maximum number of machines needed (assuming no reliance on short-term option)?

A) less than or equal to 25 B) more than 25 but less than or equal to 28 C) more than 28 but less than or equal to 31 D) more than 31 A) less than or equal to 25 B) more than 25 but less than or equal to 28 C) more than 28 but less than or equal to 31 D) more than 31

The Northern Manufacturing Company is producing products A and B,using the same machine called MASAC27A.Demand forecasts for next year and other production-related information are provided in the following table. \[\begin{array} { l | c | c } & \text { Product A } & \text { Product B } \\ \hline \text { Demand forecast (units/yr) } & 4,000 & 12,000 \\ \text { Batch size (units/batch) } & 80 & 150 \\ \text { Standard processing time (hr/unit) } & 2.5 & 2 \\ \text { Standard setup time (hr/batch } & 16 & 24 \end{array}\] The company works 250 days per year and operates 2 shifts each day,each shift covering 8 hours.If 25 percent of capacity cushion is maintained throughout the year,how many machines (MASAC27A)does the company need next year to meet the demand? Round your answer up to the next whole machine.

A) fewer than 11 machines B) 11 machines C) 12 machines D) more than 12 machines A) fewer than 11 machines B) 11 machines C) 12 machines D) more than 12 machines
