Question

In a garments factory, a part requires 0.10 hours of labor per unit in Work Center B and 1 hour of setup time. The planned order release (order size) for a week is 2000 units.

Which of the following is the capacity requirement for a week at Work Center B?
a. 101b. 151c. 201d. 251

Answer 1

201 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Order size of work for a week is 2000 units.

Setup time is 1 hour.

Now, lets calculate the capacity requirement for a week at work centre B.

Formula; Capacity=
`[set\ up\ time+(labour\ per\ unit * total\ unit\ of\ work)]`

Substitute the value in the formula.

⇒Capacity=
`[1+ (0.10 * 2000)]`

⇒ Capacity=
`[1+(200)] = 201\ hours`

∴ 201 hours is the capacity requirement for a week at work centre B.
