Question:

Using the data in Example 3.3, answer the following problems:

A campaign for 500 h is to be run using the following sequence of products: AABCCCAABCCCAABCCC…. Draw an accurate Gantt chart that clearly shows the timing of all equipment for each product. From this chart determine the cycle time for the system (i.e., the time taken to complete the following sequence of batches AABCCC) and then find the number of batches of A, B, and C produced in 500 h.

Repeat the problem but now use the sequence BAACCCBAACCC…. Does the answer change from Part (a)?

What is the solution to the problem if separate, single-product campaigns for A, B, and C (with the same ratios as in the above problems) are used?Example 3.3 Consider three batch processes, producing products A, B, and C, as illustrated in Table E3.3.
