Question

In an automobile factory, a component requires 0.75 hours of labor per unit in Work Center A and 1 hour of setup time. The planned order release (order size) for a week is 200 units. What is the capacity requirement for a week at Work Center A

Answer 1

The capacity requirement for a week at Work Center A is 151 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Labor hours per unit of component in automobile factory = 0.75 hours

Setup time required in Work Center A = 1 hour

The planned order size for a week = 200 units.

Capacity = Setup time + [Processing time × Order size].

• Capacity = 1 + (0.75 * 200)
• Capacity = 1 + 150
• Capacity = 151 hours
