Juice Production Line

Collect or use the collected data to answer the following questions.

You are the management of a juice production line. The production line consists of a number of different operations. Your job is to select the best line configuration based on efficiency, utilization, and profit per bottle produced. Assume that the all you call sell all product produced.

The capacity is determined by the number of (6 sided) die available to an operation, as indicated in Table 1 (e.g., if the operation has 2 die, then the maximum capacity is 12 – the highest roll that can be achieved with 2 die). Data should be collected on the production line configurations in Table 1, using 1 year (262 days) of production, and starting with 0 units of inventory.

Table 1: Line configurations

Table 2: Basic cost information used to calculate costs and revenue

Part 1: Complete the following table with data from the simulation

Table 3: Values collected from the simulation

Part 2: Calculate or identify the values from the simulation and data in the previous tables

Table 4: Values calculated

* The simulation gives you the actual output. The maximum output and expected output are determined directly from the line configurations in Table 1. Hint find the bottleneck (e.g. if the bottleneck has 1 die then the Maximum output is 6 and the Expected output is 3.5)

** Use Costs in Table 2 and values collected from the simulation in Table 3 to calculate.

Part 3: Answer the questions below
