Question

2. A local manufacturing firm produces four different metal products, each of which must be machined, polished and assembled. the specific times requirements ( in hours) for each products are as follows

Machining hours Polishing hours Assembling hours
Product I 3 1 2
Product II 2 1 1
Product III 2 2 2
Pruduct IV 4 3 1

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the total time required to produce each product, we can add up the machining, polishing, and assembling hours for each product. For example, for Product I, the total time required would be:

Total time for Product I = 3 hours + 1 hour + 2 hours = 6 hours

We can do this for each product to find the total time required for all four products:

Total time for Product I = 3 hours + 1 hour + 2 hours = 6 hours

Total time for Product II = 2 hours + 1 hour + 1 hour = 4 hours

Total time for Product III = 2 hours + 2 hours + 2 hours = 6 hours

Total time for Product IV = 4 hours + 3 hours + 1 hour = 8 hours

So, the total time required to produce all four products is 6 hours + 4 hours + 6 hours + 8 hours = 24 hours.
