The company recently hired 100 part-time employees working four to six-hour shifts. Skilled employees must do several raw material conversions for packaging—there are currently three (3) such employees. The plant layout is a typical process layout - machines of similar types are located together. Each machine and employee must be scheduled over the day and the standard time period for planning is one (1) hour. Material handling is mainly done manually, although the company would like to consider conveyors or other automation to aid in automating their processes.

It has just signed a lease with a major shopping mall to be one of the anchor tenants and will occupy a floor area of 7,000 square meter (sqm). According to the regulatory requirement, 2% of the floor area must be set aside for emergency assembly purpose. The store layout has 8 major zones, and the company analyst has provided the information (based on other stores’ past data) in Figure 1.1 which shows the annual profit contribution for each zone per sqm.Based on the corporate guidelines, each sports zone requires at least 600sqm of floor space, and none of the sports zone should occupy more than 15% of usable floor space. The Cycling, Home gym, and Fitness sports zones keep some items in inventory (such as bicycles, treadmills, weights) and an equivalent space of 10 to 20% of the floor space allocated to these three sports zones must be set aside for stocking the spares.
