1 Determine the total run time and the total load for each work order.
WO Number | Total Run Time | Setup Time | Total Load |
1000 | 2.5 | 2 | 27 |
1001 | 1 | .5 | 1.5 |
1002 | 5 | 0 | 5 |
1003 | 50 | 1.5 | 501.5 |
1004 | 10 | 0 | 10 |
1005 | 12 | 4 | 16 |
1006 | 40 | 0 | 40 |
2 Determine the cumulative load for weeks 1 through 3
| Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 |
Load | 93 | 42 | 124 |
Capacity | 80 | 80 | 80 |
Over/Under Capacity | -13 | 38 | -44 |
Cumulative Load | -13 | 25 | -19 |
3 What might be deduced from these results? What should be done?
4 Two hours of overtime for each worker is added per day. How does this situation affect the cumulative load calculations?
| Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 |
Load | 93 | 42 | 124 |
Capacity | 80 + (2 x 5 x 2) = 100 | 100 | 100 |
Over/Under Capacity | 7 | 58 | -24 |
Cumulative | 7 | 65 | 41 |
What would be a more optimal solution to this resource problem?
pull load from week 3 forward to week 2
