Observation on Penny Fab Simulation


• At time =20 and 22, jobs at station 2 will enter the bottleneck right before
starvation.
• At time 24, all on-going processes will just stay busy, while other empty
processes will starve continuously.

2. Define Practical Worse Case


• PWC is when a production system underperforms, producing products (lower
than ideal throughput or higher than ideal cycle time), but it remains
economically viable. These scenarios help establish an upper limit for a
production system's performance, preventing it from reaching a worst-case
scenario with excessive costs or disruptions.

3. Hal Capacity Case Study

Critical WIP: rbT0 = 114 x 33.9 = 3,869

Actual Values:

• CT = 34 days = 663 hours (19.5 hrs/day)


• WIP = 47,600 panels
• TH = 71.8 panels/hour

Conclusions:

• TH is 63% of the capacity


• WIP 12.3 higher compare to critical WIP
• CT is 24.1 time raw process time

TH Resulting from PWC with WIP = 47,600?


47,600 Higher compare the throughput
𝑇𝐻 = (114) = 𝟏𝟎𝟓. 𝟒
47,600 + 3,869 − 1
WIP required for PWC to attain TH = 0.63rb
𝑤
𝑇𝐻 =
𝑤 + 𝑊0 − 1

0.63 LOWER compare the actual WIP.


𝑤 = 0.37 (𝑊0 − 1) = 1.702. . (3,868) = 6,586

Actual system performs worse than the PWC
