- Frito-Lay, the massive Dallas-based subsidiary of PepsiCo, has 38 plants and 48,000 employees in North America. Seven of Frito-Lay’s 41 brands exceed $1 billion in sales. The production process at Frito-Lay is designed for large volumes and small variety, using expensive special-purpose equipment, and with swift movement of material through the facility. Product-focused facilities, such as Frito-Lay’s, typically have high capital costs, tight schedules, and rapid processing. Frito- Lay’s facilities are located regionally to aid in the rapid delivery of products because freshness is a critical issue. Sanitary issues and necessarily fast processing of products put a premium on an efficient layout. Production lines are designed for balanced throughput and high utilization. Cross-trained workers, who handle a variety of production lines, have promotion paths identified for their particular skill set. The supply chain is integral to success in the food industry; vendors must be chosen with…Frito-Lay, the massive Dallas-based subsidiary of PepsiCo, has 38 plants and 48,000 employees in North America.

Customers must select from a certain model line of computer and choose from available parts, but within those constraints, they may customize the computer as they desire. Once the order is received, Dell assembles the computer as ordered and delivers it to the customer. What type of manufacturing process is described here?

- 3. A bread-manufacturing line typically produces 150 loaves of bread during an 8-hour shift. On average, there are 30 loaves under processing in the line at any given time. What is the value and what is the L value? What is the average time it takes to produce a loaf of bread from the raw ingredients?At Fraser engineering. Erix is trying to decide whether to purchase a certain part to to have it produced internally. Internal production could use either of two processes. One would entail a variable cost per unit of $17, and an annual fixed cost of $240,000. Three vendors are willing to provide the part. Vendor A has a price of $20 per-unit for any volume up to 30,000 units Vendor B has a price of $22 per-unit for demand of 1,000 units or less, and $18 per-unit for larger quantities. Vendor C offers a price of $21 per-unit for the first 1,000 units, and $19 for each additional unit. What is the correct formula to use to compare these options? Which options would be best for: I. 10,000 units? ii. 20,000 units? iii. 100,000 units? What is the value in considering these options across three very different demand values ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 units?When the effective capacity turns out to be much less than the theoretical capacity, why it is not an effective solution to aim for increasing the resources capacity as a means of increasing the process throughput?
- Yost-Perry Industries (YPI) manufactures a mix of affordable guitars (A, B, C) that are fabricated and assembled at four different processing stations (W, X, Y, Z). The operation is a batch process with small setup times that can be considered negligible. The product information (price, weekly demand, and processing times) and process sequences are shown in Figure. Raw materials and purchased parts (shown as a per-unit consumption rate) are represented by inverted triangles. YPI is able to make and sell up to the limit of its demand per week with no penalties incurred for not meeting the full demand. Each workstation is staffed by one highly skilled worker who is dedicated to work on that workstation alone and is paid $15 per hour. The plant operates one 8-hour shift per day and operates on a 5-day work week (i.e., 40 hours of production per person per week). Overhead costs are $9,000/week. Which of the four workstations, W, X, Y, or Z, has the highest aggregate workload, and thus…A company is about to begin production of a new product. The manager of the department that will produce one of the components for the product wants to know how often the machine used to produce the item will be available for other work. The machine will produce the item at a rate of 200 units a day. Eighty units will be used daily in assembling the final product. Assembly will take place five days a week, 50 weeks a year. The manager estimates that it will take almost a full day to get the machine ready for a production run, at a cost of 300. Inventory holding costs will be a 10 a year. how many days does it take to produce the optimal run quanity?Yost-Perry Industries (YPI) manufactures a mix of affordable guitars (A, B, C) that are fabricated and assembled at four different processing stations (W, X, Y, Z).
