Question

In a garments factory, a part requires 0.10 hours of labor per unit in Work Center B and 1 hour of setup time. The planned order release (order size) for a week is 2000 units.
Which of the following is the capacity requirement for a week at Work Center B?
a. 101b. 151c. 201d. 251

Answer 1

Answer:

201 hours.

Explanation:

Given: Order size of work for a week is 2000 units.

          Setup time is 1 hour.

Now, lets calculate the capacity requirement for a week at work centre B.

Formula; Capacity= $[set\ up\ time+(labour\ per\ unit \times total\ unit\ of\ work)]$

Substitute the value in the formula.

⇒Capacity= $[1+ (0.10 \times 2000)]$

⇒ Capacity= $[1+(200)] = 201\ hours$

∴ 201 hours is the capacity requirement for a week at work centre B.
