Question
Problem Statement
The plant manager of a toy manufacturing plant has been given an order
for 10,000 new toys with a shipping date 10 weeks from now. He
currently has 8 machines that produce 100 toys per week per machine,
assuming one shift of 40 hours per week. He needs to know if the
machines need to run overtime to meet the order and if so how much
overtime is necessary. The goal is to minimize overtime.
Calculate how many toys the 8 machines will produce in 10 weeks
working one 40 hour shift. Do the machines need to run additional shifts
(each shift for each machine is 40 hours per week)?
Write a formula for calculating the number of weeks with an extra shift to
meet this order in 10 weeks.
Now, in actuality, the machines have been known to produce on the
average 2 defective toys in a week (one shift) per machine. Also, the
machines periodically require maintenance. This occurs on the average
of 1 machine down for maintenance per week (one shift), with the
maintenance requiring 1 hour. With these uncertainties calculate the
necessary extra weeks of overtime to meet the order.
