2- Consider a simple three-step manufacturing process as illustrated in the given figure. Assuming
that demand is 1,000 units, what is the required input to meet demand? Assume that the scrap
cost is $5 at process 1, $10 at process 2, and $15 at process 3. The defective rates are 3%, 5%,
and 7%, respectively. Compute the total scrap cost for the given system.
Solution
Since the rate of defectives is provided, the process output is equal to the product of the input units and
(1-defective rate).
The input of process two becomes the output of process 1 and defective rate of process two is 5%.
Output of process two becomes the input of the third process and defective rate of process three is 7%.
0.856995 I 1 =100 0
100 0
I 1= =1166.87 units
0.856995
Therefore the needed input to be meeting the demand of 1000 units is 1167 units.
The scrap cost is computed as the amount of defectives in each process multiplied by scrap cost in each
process.
3. Given the figure below, operation 4 represents a rework operation on parts that fail inspection
upon completion of operation 2. How many units must the process start with in order to meet
the required output of 5000 units?
Solution
0.854145k=5000
5000
K= =5853.81 ≈ 5854 units
0.854145
4. How should a project manager decide which problems (or potential problems) deserve being
reported to management and which are not worth the trouble when attempting to "never
surprise the boss."
Solution
Any problem that will likely impact the project’s completion date, budget, or
performance should be reported to management.
However, problems that can be resolved internally by the project manager and
project team that will not impact the project’s completion date, budget or
performance need not be reported formally.
