Throughput Q:
Co makes 2 products: X and Y.
X Y
SP 50 32
Material 10 6
Labour 20 15
Assembly time 20min 15min
Max demand 1500 units 1000units
Total assembly time is limited to 600hrs. Using throughput, how many units Y should produce?
First contribution:
X: 50-10=40/0.3hrs=133.3, so X FIRST
Y: 32-6=26/0.25hrs=104, Y SECOND
X: 1500u*0.3=450hrs
Y: 600u*0.25=150hrs
Where am I getting wrong, as my answer of 600units does not match any of the mock exam?
You have asked this twice and I have already answered you elsewhere.
You are showing the time for X as being 0.3 hours, but it is not.
20 minutes is 1/3 hour – not 0.3 hours.
