ET ZC342 Second Semester 2009-2010 Close Book 06/02/2010Q.1. A company wants to develop a level production plan for a family of products. The
opening inventory is 100 units, and an increase to 130 units is expected by the end
of the plan. The demand for each month is given in the following table. Calculate
the total production, daily production, and production and ending inventory for
each month.
MonthMayJunJulAugTotal
Working days2119201070
Forecast demand11512541401501659
Planned production
Planned inventory / 100
[6]
Solution:
Opening Inventory = 100 units
End Inventory = 130 units
Total Production = Demand + EI OI
= 1659 + 130 100 = 1689
MonthMayJunJulAugTotal
Working days2119201070
Forecast demand11512541401501659
Planned production(21/70) X 1689 = 507(19/70) X 1689 = 458(20/701) X 1689 = 483(10/71) X 1689 = 241
Planned inventory / 100(100+ 507-115) = 492(492+458-1254) = - 304(-304+ 483-140) = 39(39+241-150) = 130

**************************Q.4. A firm wishes to determine the efficiency and utilization of a work center composed of three machines each working 16 hours per day for five days a week. A study undertaken by materials management department found that over the past year the work center was available for work 12,000 hours, work was actually being done for 10,000 hours, and work was performed 11,480 standard hours. Calculate the utilization, efficiency, and demonstrated weekly capacity. Assume a 50 week year. [6]Solution:Utilization = (Actual Worked Hours / Available Time) X 100 = (10000/12000)X100 = 83.33%
Efficiency = (Standard Time / Actual Time)X100 = (11480 / 12000)X100 = 95.66%demonstrated weekly capacity = (11480/ 50weeks) = 229.6 Hrs / week
******************Q.5. Calculate the critical ratios for the following orders and establish in what order
they should be run. Todays date is 75.
[6]
OrderDue DateLead Time Remaining DaysActual time remaining (days)CR
A8712
B9526
C10021
Solution:OrderDue DateLead Time Remaining DaysActual time remaining (days)CR
A871287-75 = 121.0
B952695-75 = 200.76
C10021100-75 = 251.19
Critical Ratio = Actual time remaining / Lead Time Remaining Days
Hence
First Priority is B, Second Priority is AThird Priority is C

Q.6. What is EDI? Explain its significance giving an example. [5]
Electronic data interchange (EDI) enables customers and suppliers to electronically exchange transaction information such as purchase orders, invoices, and material requirements planning information. This eliminates time-consuming paperwork and facilitates easy communication between planner/buyers and suppliers.The exchange of EDI documents is typically between two different companies, referred to as business partners orTRADINGpartners. For example, Company A may buy goods from Company B. Company A sends orders to Company B. Company A and Company B are business partners. Q.7. Using exponential smoothing, calculate the forecast for eleventh month. Use _ =
0.2.
