Question

Two thousand pieces will flow through from the first machine A to the final machine F based on the given sequence of operations. A unit load size of 50 is initially specified at the first machine. However, due to lot sizing decisions, the unit load size isdoubled after processing on machine D. If one vehicle (e.g., lift truck) is used to transport the unit loads from machine to machine, determine the total number of trips that the vehicle has to make, assuming that the vehicle capacity is one unit load.

Answer 1

The total number of trips that the vehicle has to make based on the given sequence of operation is 120 trips.

"Your question is not complete, it seems to be missing the following information;"

The sequence of operation is A - E - D - C - B - A - F

The given parameters;

• number of pieces that will flow from the first machine A to machine F, = 2,000 pieces
• initial unit load specified in the first machine, L₁ = 50
• final unit load, L₂ = 100
• the capacity of the vehicle = 1 unit load

The given sequence of operation of the vehicle;

A - E - D - C - B - A - F

the vehicle makes 6 trips for 100 unit loads

The total number of trips that the vehicle has to make, in order to transport the 2000 pieces of the load given, is calculated as follows.

100 unit loads ----------------- 6 trips

2000 unit loads --------------- ?

$= \frac{2000}{100} \times 6\\\\= 120 \ trips$

Thus, the total number of trips that the vehicle has to make based on the given sequence of operation is 120 trips.
