3.14 - Given The Spatial Schematic Below, Evaluate The Flow Path Lengths

This document discusses using direct clustering algorithms to form machine-part cells from a given matrix. It presents two potential cell configurations, with Cell A containing Machines 2, 4, 1A and Parts 1, 3, 5, and Cell B containing Machines 3, 1B and Parts 2, 4. It then provides daily production capacities, processing times, and demand data to determine how many of each machine type would be needed to meet demand. Based on the calculations shown, the recommended configuration is 10 Machines 1A, 5 Machines 1B, 6 Machines 2, 18 Machines 3, and 12 Machines 4.

14 Given the spatial schematic below, evaluate the flow path lengths
for the following components.

A) Route A-B-C-D-E-F = 100+75+75+25+25 = 300


B) Route A-C-B-D-E-F = (100+75)+75+(75+75)+25+25 = 450
C) Route A-F-E-D-C-B-A-F =
(100+75+75+25+25)+25+25+75+75+100+(100+75+75+25+25) =
900
D) Route A-C-E-B-D-F =
(100+75)+(75+25)+(25+75+75)+(75+75)+(25+25) = 650

3.15 Given the following from-to chart, recommend an overall


flow pattern that will reduce flow.

The recommended overall flow is a circular flow, as shown on the figure


below
A

3.27- Use the direct clustering algorithm to form cells for the
machine-part matrix shown below. Propose alternatives for resolving any
conflicts.

Cell A:
Machines {2;4;1A}; Products {1;3;5}
Cell B:
Machines
{3;1B}; Products {2,4}

3.28- Consider problem 3.27. Given the following processing time


and demand data for each part, determine at least one potential
resolution to the conflicts

Assume that each machine has a daily capacity of 5000 units.


What other factors might influence your decision.

Considering 8h of work: 8h = 480min


For Machine 1:
Capacity of production of part 1: 480/2 = 240 Parts/day

To attend the demand of part 1, we might have 1000/240 = 4.17 =


5 machines 1
Capacity of production of part 2: 480 Parts/day
To attend the demand of part 2, we might have 2000/480 = 4.17 =
5 Machines 1
Capacity of production of part 5: 480/2 = 240 Parts/day
To attend the demand of part 5, we might have 1000/240 = 4.17 =
5 machines 1
For machine 2:
Capacity of production of part 1: 480 Parts/day
To attend the demand of part 1, we might have 1000/480 = 2.08 =
3 Machines 2
Capacity of production of part 5: 480 Parts/day
To attend the demand, we might have 1000/480 = 2.08 = 3
Machines 2
For machine 3:
Capacity of production of part 2: 480 Parts/day
To attend the demand of part 2, we might have 2000/480 = 4.17 =
5 Machines 3
Capacity of production of part 4: 480/3 = 160 Parts/day
To attend the demand of part 4, we might have 2000/160 = 12.5 =
13 Machines 3
For machine 4:
Capacity of production of part 1: 480/3 = 160 Parts/day
To attend the demand of part 1, we might have 1000/160 = 6.25 =
7 Machines 4
Capacity of production of part 3: 480/2 = 240 Parts/day

To attend the demand of part 3, we might have 1000/240 = 4.17 =


5 Machines 4

So, by what was said above, we can conclude that to attend the daily
demand we might have:
10 Machines 1A
5 Machines 1B
6 Machines 2
18 Machines 3
12 Machines 4
