Question:

The manufacturing sequence for two products that a company produces involves fabrication, assembly, and painting operations. Each operation requires 2 days to completely process a production lot before it can be moved to the next department. The processing times (in hours per unit) for both products at each of the three departments in terms of both labor and machine resources are given in the following table:

Fabrication Assembly Painting Machine Labor Labor Labor Machine Machine Product P 1 1 1.5 Product K 1.5 0.5 1


The available labor and machine capacities at each department are 800 hours of labor and 600 hours for each day of a 5-day work week. For the upcoming work week, the company has developed the following production schedule for the two products.

Product Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday 400 300 200 200 100 к 400 100 300 200 100


Assuming no setup or change-over time, determine the capacity requirements for each product and the total load for each of the three departments for each day of the 5-day work week.
