Question 1 A sparepart distributor is deciding on a policy for the use of TL or LTL transportation for inbound shipping. TL shipping costs $700 per truck plus $150 per pickup. Thus, a truck used to pick up from three suppliers costs 700 + (3 * 150). A truck can carry up to 2,500 units. The distributor incurs a fixed cost of $250 for each order placed with a supplier. Thus, an order with three distinct suppliers incurs an ordering cost of $750. Each unit costs $80, and the company uses a holding cost of 25 per cent. Assume that product from each supplier has an annual demand of 4,500 units. a) What are the optimal order size and annual cost if it is ordered independently of each other? b) What are the optimal order size and the annual cost per product if TL shipping is used but two suppliers are grouped together per truck? c) What is the optimal number of suppliers that should be grouped together? What is the optimal order size and annual cost per product in this case? What is the time between orders? d) If partial aggregation is applied, would this be more efficient than the answer proposed in Question C?

The demand of a certain part is 1000 parts/year and its cost is 1000/part. The orders are placed based on the economic order quantity (EOQ). The cost of ordering is 100/order and the lead time for receiving the orders is 5 days. If the holding cost is 20/part/year, the inventory level for placing the orders is (round off to the nearest integer) .parts. Ans. (14)
A robot is used for loading and unloading of parts to automated flexible machines. Loading time is 1 minute; unloading time is 1.5 minutes; machining time 15 minutes; Robot travel time between the machines including the inspection time is 3 minutes.

= Consider a four aisle AS/RS in which an S/R machine is used for each aisle. The length of the storage aisle 85 m and its height = 14 m. Suppose horizontal and vertical speeds of the S/R machine are 61 m/min and 23 m/min, respectively. The S/R machine requires 20 s to accomplish a P&D operation. The aisles in the AS/RS will be organized to follow a class-based dedicated storage strategy. There will be two classes, according to activity level. The more active stock is stored in the half of the rack system that is located closest to the input/output station, and the less active stock is stored in the other half of the rack system farther away from the input/output station. Within each half of the rack system, random storage is used. The more active stock accounts for 80% of the transactions, and the less active stock accounts for the remaining 20%. Assume that system utilization = 90%, and the number of single-command cycles = the number of dual-command cycles. Determine the throughput…
