Consider the following information regarding the expected demand for November 2020 and all costs involved in the operation at HP Production Plant (all prices in Euros)
Products : HP Pavilon and HP Spectre
Demand (units): 600 and 750 respectively
Working days: Monday to Saturday (max. 24 hours a day)
Hours per shift: 6 hours each shift
Number of stations: 7
Number of workers required per station: 1 (assume workers can not help others since the process is made by a robot)
Wages: 950 per worker (monthly)
Sales price per unit: 1,000 and 1,400 respectively
Raw Material Cost per unit: 390 and 410 respectively
Utilities, maintenance and others expenses: 660 per hour (assume the Company will work 24 hours a day, from Monday to Saturday. So consider the number of real working days)
Depreciation cost: 4,400 per station (monthly)
Administrative expenses: 255,000 (monthly)
Advertising costs (6% of total sales)
Insurance costs: 4,000 per month
Process time (in minutes) Number of units that can be processed at the same time
Station / Product Hp Pavilon HP Spectre Station / Product Hp Pavilon HP Spectre Station Rejection Rate % Availability rate % Performance rate %
A 60 70 A 5 3 A 5% 98% 96%
B 80 80 B 3 5 B 7% 95% 97%
C 30 36 C 2 1 C 5% 95% 90%
D 40 20 D 1 2 D 1% 99% 100%

Given the previous information, then answer the following questions:
1 Calculate the taktime to produce all the required units (in minutes)
2 Calculate the inputs table showing the production rate in minutes (minutes per unit)
3 Calculate the OEE per station
4 Calculate the production table per product per processes requiered to comply with the demand (required time per product per station)
5 Calculate the total required capacity per station
6 Calculate the availabe time
7 Calculate the Capacity utilization rate
8 Identify Constraints (in case you find)
9 Calculate Throuput per product
10 Calculate the throuput rate per product per minute
11 Which product has to be produced first?
12 Calculate the Mix of production which maximize profits
13 Calculate the EBIT given the mix of production already calculated
Extra questions:
Now imagine you have an other client who enter the 15 of November and needs 20% of your production capacity:
14 What impact will it have in the production of your first client, answer calculating the delay involved.
15 How could you avoid this delay and still deliver the first order on time?
