com ADL 14 Production & Operations Management V1 Assignment - A Question 1 (a) Define Production Management and discuss its scope and functions. Question 1 (b) Production Management deals with decision-making related to co-production process so that the resulting goods or services are produced according to the specifications, in the amounts and by the schedules demanded and a t a minimum cost." Discuss. Question 2 (a) Compare and Contrast the Continuous and Intermittent Production systems. Question 2 (b) What do you understand by the term Flexible Manufacturing System? Do you think it necessary for our country; discuss highlighting the examples from our industries? Question 3 (a) What is Production Planning and Control? Question 3 (b) State main elements or functions of PPC. Question 3 (c) Define Aggregate Planning and State its importance. Question 4. For different types of manufacturing systems, we definitely have different Production Planning & Control (PPC)." Do you agree with the statement? Explain your viewpoint. Also explain the PPC for Intermittent & Continuous manufacturing systems. Question 5 (a) Plant layout is the physical arrangement whether existing or in plans, of industrial facilities". In the light of above statements discuss various types of layouts commonly found in different industries. Question 5 (b) What are the benefits that accrue due to a good plant layout? Question 5 (c) Mention the guiding principles in designing a layout of production facilities.

Assignment - B Question 1 (a) Explain how Work Study (Work Measurement & Method Study) leads to higher productivity? Question 1 (b) How Standard Time per unit is calculated? Calculate the Standard Time per piece in the following case. The worker working on the machine has been given average performance rating as 110%. The total allowance for the job under given conditions of working is 15%. Question 2 (a) Solve the following Transportation Problem and Find the Minimum Transportation Cost. Question 2 (b) A company makes two kinds of leather belts. Belt A is a high quality belt, and B is of lower quality. The respective profits are Rs. 40 and Rs 30 per belt. Each belt of type A requires twice as much time as a belt of type B, and, if all belts were of type B, the company could make 1000 per day. The supply of leather is sufficient for only 800 belts per day (both A and B combined). Belt A requires a fancy buckle, and only 400 per day a re available. There are only 700buckles a day available for belt B. Set up the linear programming equations for the problem and use Graphical Method for solving the same Question 2 (c) The workmen in an Engineering company are expected to work for 400 minutes in a shift of 8 hrs. The remaining time is meant for rest and personal needs. I. Determine the Standard Time per piece of a job whose normal time is 2

minutes. II. Calculate the no. of pieces to be produced per day. III. If the workmen engaged on the above job produce 180 pieces in the shift, what is their efficiency? Question 3 (a) What is material Requirement Planning? Describe briefly the MRP Process (preferably diagrammatically). Question 3 (b) The product structure of an item (A) is as given below: (1) Show by a diagram, when production of each component or assembly must be carried out in order to complete the final assembly by week 15? (2) Work out the number of components or subassemblies required to produce 1250 Nos. of the product "A" required in 15 week, assume that all scheduled receipts are zero.

Case Study An Electric Company produces MCBs. The demand forecast for MCBs for the next 12 months is as follows: The cost of holding the inventory of MCBs, each costing Rs.40 are 2 % per month. If there are shortage of MCBs , the enterprise has a loss of customer goodwill and the loss of opportunity costs is estimated at Rs. 60 per MCB. a) Estimate the relevant costs of producing 2,50,000 MCBs every month. Take initial inventory as 30,000 MCBs. b) If the production is carried our @2,00,000 MCBs per month for Jan , Feb. , March , April; @2,00,000 MCBs per month for Ma y , June , July & Aug ; and @ 3,00,000 MCBs per month for Sept , Oct , Nov , Dec. Calculate the total costs for this alternative plan. Assume cost of producing in over-time costs @Rs. 6 per MCB, costs if under-time(production below full capacity)@Rs. 3 per MCB and Rs 5 per MCB being the set-up cost(cost of changing production rate). Compare the two plans and find the better one. Hint: Alternate-1: Calculation sheet for Average Inventory and Lost Sale (units)
