Donner Case
Order Size for drilling: * The Manual press needs 15 min for set up, in addition to 0.08 min for every hole. Knowing that the typical circuit board has 500 drilled holes, then run time will be 0.08*500 = 40 min / board. Therefore, time taken to drill N boards manually will be equal to : 15 + 40(N) * On the other hand the CNC drill needs 240 min for set up, in addition to 0.004 min for every hole. So run time will be 0.004*500 = 2 min / board. Then the time taken to drill N boards by CNC drill will be equivalent to : 240 + 2(N) * It is then logic to conclude that we will use CNC drill only in order sizes that will provide timing benefit over manual press. i.e. when 240 + 2N < 15 + 40N which means N 6 * However the shop floor policy dictates that only orders for more than 100 boards be drilled by CNC drill !!!!! Surely this must be changed * This means that they used the CNC drill in only 12 orders of the 60 orders received in September, while actually they should have used it in 35 orders ( all orders 6) !!
Order Size for Profiling: * Set up time for Punch press is 50 min, while run time is 1 min / board. So Time taken to profile N orders will be 50 + N * While set up time for CNC routers reaches 150 min, in addition to 0.5 min / board run time. So the time needed to complete profiling of N boards equals 150 + 0.5(N) * Thus CNC reuters will produce time benefit if used only in orders more than 200 boards
Capacity of Dry Film Photo Resist area: * Assuming order size equals 8 boards
Then the panel preparation will take 5 + 0.2 = 5.2 min
Lamination & Exposure will take 20 + 2 = 22 min
Development will take 20 + 0.2 = 20.2 min * This means that Lamination and exposure are the bottle neck of the process, and the cycle time for this step will be 22 min / panel. Which means that the capacity will be 2.7 panels / hour * If we increased order size to 2 panels (16 boards)
Panel preparation will take 5 + 0.4 =

    1. Anton Rabie and Ronnen Harary created a product that allowed customers to express their own creativity through styling grass hair that sprouted from a small humanlike head. They called this product Earth Buddy and the popularity soon spread like wildfire. Product sales started through Toronto-area flower shops and gift stores but as demand increased they were able to start distributing Earth Buddy at K-Mart, Toys R Us, Wal-Mart and stores alike. However, the production of Earth Buddies were time consuming and very dependent on the weather. The production process had a total of seven steps. The first step was filling which included six machines that filled the basic round heads with nylon stocking, sawdust and grass seed. The next step operators shaped the product’s eye-glasses. The rest of the process included moulding the face, placing the glasses on the nose, and gluing the buddies eyes in. Next the buddies were sent to the painter who finished off the buddy with a fabric paint mouth. The last step was to place the product on shelving to dry. In the right conditions, this step took about five hours, however, if humidity levels were higher, drying time increased to seven hours.…

    Both of the jobs are requiring one thousand furniture pieces. SAF has the capabilities to produce the units that are being requested from both companies with the current production facility. However, the machine requires the operation of a special lathe by a skilled worker. The lathe is basically a machine tool that rotates the product on its axis to perform different operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or deformation, facing, turning, with tools that are put onto the work piece to facilitate an object with balance. This lathe is used to create a specific piece that will complete a part for the…

    First of all we started to answer the guideline questions. We computed the current capacity utilization in the work centres, and then we found the capacity in pieces of the die-cut work centres, in the different ganging choices (no gangins, ganging pairs of orders or ganging all of the orders). After this we had to focus on the differences between partialed and non-partialed orders of the Royal/Queen work centres so we could analyze the changes in capacity. Concerning the Fold&Glue department, Bayonne Inc. can choose between Royal/Queen and Staude machines, we computed the optimum batch quantity, according to orders’ volume. To conclude about the efficiency of some work centres we…

    The Donner Company is a manufacturer of printed circuit boards. They need to address several issues in their supply chain operations to improve their service level because net income in the month of September has drastically decreased. Before September, growth was steadily increasing every month. They found that the major problems include unpredictable bottlenecks in manufacturing, lower than expected productivity and lower than expected quality and delivery. After addressing these major issues, I find that investing in more CNC’s and phasing manual drilling out of the manufacturing process can go a long way to improve the service level of the company.…

    The Big “O” Company manufactures large hydraulic units. One of the most difficult items to manufacture is the hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder housing is fabricated from a malleable iron casting. The housing is machined to close tolerances, and the slightest discrepancy in either material or machining means a total loss. Machine cycle time on a typical housing is approximately sixteen hours. For several years, castings had been purchased from the Macon Foundries in Georgia. Macon had been a Big “O” supplier for many years, and during that time it produced thousands of castings at acceptable quality levels. Eight months ago, however, when its founder and president, George Chapel, died, Macon announced that it was discontinuing foundry operations. The supply department at Big “O” undertook a search for new sources. At first, few suppliers could be found who were either capable or willing to meet the exacting specifications and tolerances required. Ultimately, however, three foundries were selected and invited to submit bids on 4,000 castings. The low bidder, at $76.17 a unit, was the Barry Foundry of Muncie, Indiana. Barry was a small concern with a good reputation for doing quality work and fulfilling every delivery promise. Barry was given a purchase order for the full 4,000 units, with the stipulation that Big “O” approve the first 100 units. Within two weeks the first 100 castings were received. They were subjected to initial inspection and then dispatched to the floor for machining. In the words of the shop foreman, “They machined like butter.” Barry was told to proceed with the entire order and a four-month delivery schedule. It was about this time that problems began to develop in the shop. Some hard castings had damaged both grinding wheels and cutting tools. Also, cracks from casting porosity appeared on newly machined surfaces and slots. Although these conditions were not present in all castings, they occurred in a sufficient number to…

    Executive Summary. The Big “O” Company is undergoing some change since founder and president passed away. The company produced hydraulic cylinders, and has decided to cease all foundry operations and source this operation. The company has gone out to find a supplier whom can take care of the order to the correct specifications needed. A supplier from Indiana, Barry Foundry, has been selected due to low cost and good reputation. After the supplier was able to show that they could make 100 units to spec, Big “O” kicked hem off to do a full order of 4,000 units. There were problems that occurred with some of the castings, and Big “O” needed to change their specifications of the current casting. When Big “O” approached Barry, they understand that the entire order of 4,000 castings has already been made.…
