The following memo is from an exasperated manager to her staff. Obviously, this manager does not have the time to clean up her writing or another set of eyes to review her written material before mailing it. From: Albertina Sindaha, Operations Manager To: All Employees Subject: Cleanup! Message You were all supposed to clean up your work areas last Friday, but that didn't happen. A few people cleaned their desks, but no one pitched in to clean the common areas. So we're going to try again. As you know, we don't have a big enough custodial budget anymore. Everyone must clean up himself. This Friday I want to see action in the copy machine area, things like emptying waste baskets, and you should organize paper and toner supplies.

What feature of manufacturing planning and control systems operates under the premise that the planned work input to a work center should never exceed the planned work output?

Consider a project with seven tasks. Three tasks – tasks 3, 4, and 5 – require a specific resource for completion; all needed resources must be available at the site before a task can be started. Task Duration Predecessor (s) Units of Value of Resource Completed Task Needed 3 3 10 $4000 1 10 S3000 3 12 55000 1 4 7 1 2, 5,6 Each resource unit cost $100; no quantity discounts are available. In addition, it costs $2 per unit per time period to hold this resource in stock, and it costs $45 just to place an order for materials (independent of the number of units ordered). When should each task in the project be started and when and how many resources should be ordered to minimize total project costs? 1, 1, en en en en 1, 2. en
