10. Given:
A chemical firm produces 100-pound bags. Demand for the product = 20 tons per day. The
capacity = 50 tons per day. Setup cost = $100, and storage and handling costs = $5 per ton a year.
The firm operates 200 days a year. Note: 1 ton = 2,000 pounds.
p = 50 tons per day * 2,000 pounds per ton = 100,000 pounds per day = 100,000 pounds per day /
100 pounds per bag = 1,000 bags per day
u = 20 tons per day * 2,000 pounds per ton= 40,000 pounds per day = 40,000 pounds per day /
100 pounds per bag = 400 bags per day

11. Given:

d. The manager would like to run another job between runs of the component for the new
product and needs a minimum of 10 days per cycle (including setup) for the other job:
How much time is available to run the other job? The job must be finished during the pure
consumption time for the component for the new product. The end of the pure consumption
time is when inventory of the component for the new product falls to 0 units. If the other job
takes longer than the pure consumption time, we will run out of inventory of the component
for the new product.
Plugging in values and solving for Pure Consumption Time:

e. Three options that the manager could consider that will allow this other job to be performed:
1) Try to shorten the setup time of the component for the new product.
f. Determine the additional units to produce of the component for the new product and the
increase in total annual cost from this new Q:
We know the following:
The Pure Consumption Time for the component for the new product must equal 10 days to
allow the other job to be run.

d. The other component requires 4 days (including setup). Setup time for the heating element =
0.5 days. Is there enough time to run the other component between batches of heating
elements?
