Identify the key entities for which flow requirements will be needed, e.g., people,
2.2 It is important for the various design decisions to be integrated so that all critical issues
have been considered before product and process designs are finalized. Using a linear or
series approach can result in multiple re-starts of the design process because of “down-

SECTION 2.4
2.13 Given System: (all Ik values are rounded to the nearest integer)
The scrap values and scrap cost at each step are as follows:
System w/Reversed Scrap Rates:
The scrap values and scrap cost at each step are as follows:
Due to the lower scrap cost the system with reversed scrap rates would be preferred,
which is consistent with the claim made in Section 2.4.2.
2.14 For simplicity the rework operations are indicated by Rk. All Ik values are rounded to the
nearest integer.
Given system: Following the derivation method given in Section 2.4.2.2, we have the
expression for I1:
page-pf4
Answers to Problems at the End of Chapter 2 2-3
System w/Reversed Scrap Rates: Using the same derivation, we have the following:
Based solely on the total rework costs of the two systems, the system with reversed scrap
rates is preferred, which is consistent with the result of Problem 2.13. You should note,
however, that the system with reversed scrap rates requires more input to the system to
meet the demand.
2.15 All Ik values are rounded to the nearest integer.
page-pf5
2.16 We solve this problem working in reverse.
Solving for I1 and substituting in the appropriate parameters, we have the following:
2.17 All Ik values rounded to the nearest integer. For machines 1, 2, and 3:
Machine 4 operates for half of the amount of time as machines 1, 2, and 3.
We know that Ik = Qk. So,
Running the rework operation on the same shift as the remainder of the cell would cause
the machine fraction to reduce to 0.68, or 1 machine. This may allow for the addition of
the rework machine to the cell.
2.18 All Ik values rounded to nearest integer. Let A1 denote the first step in the production
process, and A2 denote the last step.
Similarly,

Answers to Problems at the End of Chapter 2 2-5
We know that Ik = Qk. So,
2.19 All Ik values are rounded to the nearest integer.
Setup times are identical for machines A, B, and C for a particular product. The setup
time for product X, regardless of the machine, is 20 mins; the setup time for product Y is
40 mins., regardless of the machine. A critical piece of information needed to determine
the number of machines required is the length of production runs between setups. If a
single setup is needed to produce the annual requirement of a product on a machine, then
the number of machines required is determined as follows:
page-pf7
Answers to Problems at the End of Chapter 2 2-6
If setups occur more frequently, then additional machines might be required due to the
lost production time consumed by setups.
2.20 All Ik values are rounded to the nearest integer.
2.21 Using the equations to solve Problem 2.20, we simply change the input values. Let
represent the new scrap percentage. For this solution, we are assuming the 5% reduction
The opinion response will depend on the student. However, the response should look
something like the following.
2.22 The value of H is up to the student or instructor. Any value will provide sufficient
illustration for the follow-up opinion question. For the purposes of this solution, we will
assume H is a variable value and solve symbolically.

Answers to Problems at the End of Chapter 2 2-7
It should be apparent that by reducing the scrap percentage will reduce the number of
machines necessary. Assuming one 8 hour shift per day, 5 days per week, reducing the

2.26 Let BC, BY, CB, DA, IN, KP, and TC represent the bottom cover, battery cover, circuit
board, disassembly, inspection, keypad, and top cover, respectively. In addition, let Mxx
represent molding operations for specific components; Pxx represent painting operations
for specific components; and INx represent inspection stations in order of occurrence.
All Ik values are rounded to the nearest integer.

For a given value of Q, multiplying the net income in the column by the probability of its
occurrence and summing over all values of x yields the following expected profits for
each value of Q. As shown, the optimum number to schedule is 5, with an expected net
profit of $35,335.

Shown below is the matrix of net income for batch sizes of 10, 11, and 12. Also shown
below is the expected profit based on batch sizes of 10, 11, and 12, as well as the
probability of losing money. A batch size of 12 yields the smallest expected profit. Based
on the probability of losing money, the least attractive alternative is a batch size of 10.

Shown below is the matrix of net profits resulting from various combinations of Q and x.
Shown below are the expected profits and probabilities of losing money for various
values of Q, the batch size. From the results obtained, the optimum batch size is 28. The
probability of losing money, which is the probability of less than 25 die cast parts being
acceptable, equals 0.0022.
