Swenson Saws produces bows, frame, dovetail, and tenon saws used by craft furniture makers. During an 8-hour shift, a saw is produced every 6 minutes. The demand for the bow, frame, and dovetail saws is about the same, but the demand tenon saw is twice the demand for the other three. a) If mixed-model scheduling is used, how many of each saw will be produced before the cycle is repeated? b) determine a satisfactory production sequence for one unit production. How often is this sequence repeated? c) how many of each saw does Swenson produce in one shift?

Given: Total shift time = 8 hours = 8 * 60 = 480 minutes

time required for production of one saw = 6 minutes

Demand for Bow saw = Demand for frame saw = Demand for dovetail saw = 1/2 * Demand of Tenon saw

a) Mixed model schedule:

Mixed model schedule

Productno. per batch

Bow Saw1

Frame Saw1

Dovetail Saw1

Tenon Saw2

Total5

Therefore 2 Tenon Saw, and each bow, frame, and dovetail saws will be produced before the cycle is repeated.

b) 2 Tenon Saw, 1 bow, 1 frame, and 1 dovetail saws will be produced under production sequence for one unit production.

The length of cycle will be 5*6=30 minutes i.e. the cycle will repeat once in 30 minutes for 8 hours means totally it will repeat 16 times during one shift.

c) Number of saws Swenson produce in one shift = Number of Bow saw Swenson produce in one shift + Number of Frame saw Swenson produce in one shift + Number of Dovetail saw Swenson produce in one shift + Number of Tenon saw Swenson produce in one shift

Explanation:

Given: Total shift time = 8 hours = 8 * 60 = 480 minutes

time required for production of one saw = 6 minute

Demand for Bow saw = Demand for frame saw = Demand for dovetail saw = 1/2 * Demand of Tenon saw

a) Mixed model schedule:  

                       Mixed model schedule

Product                      no. per batch

Bow Saw                            1

Frame Saw                    1

Dovetail Saw                    1

Tenon Saw                    2

Total                            5

Therefore 2 Tenon Saw, and each bow, frame, and dovetail saws will be produced before the cycle is repeated.

b) 2 Tenon Saw, 1 bow, 1 frame, and 1 dovetail saws will be produced under production sequence for one unit production.

The length of cycle will be 5*6=30 minutes i.e. the cycle will repeat once in 30 minutes for 8 hours means totally it will repeat 16 times during one shift.

c)  Number of saws Swenson produce in one shift = Number of Bow saw Swenson produce in one shift + Number of Frame saw Swenson produce in one shift + Number of Dovetail saw Swenson produce in one shift + Number of Tenon saw Swenson produce in one shift

Number of saws Swenson produce in one shift = 480\div 30\times 1 + 480\div 30\times 1 + 480\div 30\times 1 + 480\div 30\times 2 = 16 + 16 + 16 + 32 = 80 saws per shift

(i know i'm late but the answer's "things about yourself" because you want to list things you're capable of, why you want to open up the business, the amount of money you're putting into it,etc.) i'm guessing you take online school small business, the answers to the quizzes are all over quizlet. just look up your question and type quizlet after it and it'll pop up.

can your question and add a list so i can you out?
