6. A group technology machine cell contains four machines. Machines 1 and 2 are
identical and are used to feed machine 3, which is the key machine in the cell. The
output of machine 3 feeds into machine 4. The cell is set up to produce a family
of five parts (A,B,C,D and E). The operation times for each part at each machine
are given in the following table.
Operation time (min)
Part Machine 1 & 2 Machine 3 Machine 4
A 4.0 15.0 10.0
B 15.0 18.0 7.0
C 26.0 20.0 15.0
D 15.0 20.0 10.0
E 8.0 16.0 10.0
The products are to be produced in the ratio 4:3:2:2:1 .If the hours worked per
week are 35, determine how many of each product will be: made by the cell. What
is the utilization of the key machine and the utilization of the cell? [16]
