The Tiny Toy Company makes three types of new toys: the tiny tank, the tiny truck, and the tiny turtle. Plastic used in one unit of each is 1.5, 2.0 and 1.0 pounds, respectively. Rubber for one unit of each toy is 0.5, 0.5, and 1.0 pounds, respectively. Also, each tank uses 0.3 pounds of metal, and the truck uses 0.6 pounds of metal during production. The average weekly availability for plastic is 16,000 pounds, 9,000 pounds of metal, and 5,000 pounds of rubber. It takes two hours of labor to make one tank, two hours for one truck, and one hour for a turtle. The company allows no more than 40 hours a week for production (priority #1). Finally, the cost of manufacturing one tank is $7, 1 truck is $5 and 1 turtle is $4; a target budget of $164,000 is initially used as a guideline for the company to follow.
a) Minimize over-utilization of the weekly available supply of materials used in making the toys and place twice as much emphasis on the plastic (priority #2)
b) Minimize the under and over-utilization of the budget. Maximize available labor hour usage (priority #3).

- Traditional face-to-face teaching still plays a critical role in teaching and learning; however, challenges such as COVID-19 has necessitated the introduction of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in higher educational institutions at a large scale. An LMS is a software system designed to aid teaching and learning which operates in the World Wide Web, hence, having the flexibility of anytime access (Ho, Higson, Dey & Xu, 2009). Riversdale College has invested in a Learning Management system to create, share and manage the delivery of educational content. The LMS goal is in enhancing teaching and learning. The main aim of Riversdale College is to provide excellent educational opportunities that are responsive to the needs of a demographically diverse student population and equip them to exceed challenges as active participants in shaping the future of our world. Riversdale College uses the LMS in more innovative ways like student engagement, creating and editing content,…arrow_forwardWhat is an example of a learning objective for a lesson on Integrating Writing in Math in a first-grade classroom? The learning objective should include the following required components: behavior, condition, and measurable criterion that aligns with both of the below standards. Math Standard Solve real-world problems involving addition and subtraction within 20 in situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing with unknowns in all parts of the addition or subtraction problem (e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem). Writing Standard Produce (when writing or speaking) a topic sentence or main idea, provide some facts or details about the topic, and provide a concluding statement.arrow_forwardWithout using excelarrow_forward

Each of them can perform the same basic services at the same level of quality. The following table provides the price that each dry cleaner charges to clean a two-piece suit, as well as the quoted number of days that the service will take.

The plant runs three shifts continuously during the workweek, for a total of 120 hours of capacity per week. The shop efficiency (the percent of total time available for production), which accounts for setups, changeovers, and maintenance, averages 70% with a standard deviation of 5%, which reduces the weekly capacity. Six key parts are produced, and the plant has three different types of machines to produce each part. The machines are not interchangeable as they each have a specific function. The time to produce each part on each machine varies. The mean time and standard deviation (in hours) to produce each part on each machine are shown below: Mean Time Part Type Machine A Machine B Machine C 1 3.5 2.6 8.9 2 3.4 2.5 8 3 1.8 3.5 12.6 4 2.4 5.8 12.5 5 4.2 4.3 28 6…arrow_forward
- JCL Inc. is a major chip manufacturing firm that sells its products to computer manufacturers like Dell, Gateway, and others. In simplified terms, chip making at JCL Inc. involves three basic operations: depositing, patterning, and etching. Depositing: Using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology, an insulating material is deposited on the wafer surface, forming a thin layer of solid material on the chip. Patterning: Photolithography projects a microscopic circuit pattern on the wafer surface, which has a light-sensitive chemical like the emulsion on photographic film. It is repeated many times as each layer of the chip is built. Etching: Etching removes selected material from the chip surface to create the device structures. The table below lists the required processing times and setup times at each of the steps. There is unlimited space for buffer inventory between these steps. Assume that the unit of production is a wafer, from which individual chips are cut at a later…arrow_forwarddo fast i will 16 upvotes.arrow_forwardP1 P4 P2 P3 P5 P5 P5 P6 ... P1 has a production rate of 15 units/hour, P2 = 30 units/hour, P3 = 10 units per hour, P4 = 4 units/hour, P5 = 1 unit(s) per hour for each P5 and P6 = 6 units per hour. Operation P4 occurs seperately from and simultaneously with operations P1-P3. Operation P5 has three parallel and identical lines; therefore, each part only needs to go through one of the three lines. Consider the following two independent improvements: Improvement 1: Change station P4 into two connected stations (P4-1 and P4-2, connected in series) that have process times of 4 min/unit and 6 min/unit respectively. Improvement 2: Add two additional P5 stations to give you 5 parallel and identical lines. Improvement 2 increases capacity because it improves the bottleneck. The new bottleneck is station P4 since the original bottleneck has a process time of The new yearly capacity would be units per year. a) Which of the two improvements will provide the largest increase in capacity?
