  11. A firm produces 120 units of product in every 8 hour shift. Four operations as given below are needed to manufacture each unit of product.

    The above operations are to be assigned to workstations, such that one or more operations are performed in each workstation. Only one unit of product will be processed in each workstation at a time. The minimum number of workstations that will achieve the production target, without violating the precedence constraints, is

  13. A disc of 200 mm outer and 80 mm inner diameter is faced at a feed of 0.1 mm/rev with a depth of cut of 1 mm. The facing operation is undertaken at a constant cutting speed of 90 m/min in a CNC lathe. The main (tangential) cutting force is 200 N. 
    Neglecting the contribution of the feed force towards cutting power, the specific cutting energy in J/mm3 is
  14. A.
    0.2
    B.
    2
    C.
    200
    D.
    2000

  15. A disc of 200 mm outer and 80 mm inner diameter is faced at a feed of 0.1 mm/rev with a depth of cut of 1 mm. The facing operation is undertaken at a constant cutting speed of 90 m/min in a CNC lathe. The main (tangential) cutting force is 200 N. 
    Assuming approach and over-travel of the cutting tool to be zero, the machining time in min is
  16. A.
    2.93
    B.

  17. The demand for soap at a retailer is 40 kg per day. The retailer buys soap from a company in bulk at the cost of Rs. 50 per kg. The retailer incurs a cost of Rs. 200 to place an order to the company, and a holding cost of Rs. 0.1 per kg per day to store the soap. The lead time between the placing and receiving of orders is 3 days. The retailer's current ordering policy is to order 200 kg every 5 days. 
    To avoid stock out situations, the retailer needs to place orders when the inventory level (in kg) drops to
  18. A.
    40
    B.
    60
    C.
    80
    D.
    120

  19. The demand for soap at a retailer is 40 kg per day. The retailer buys soap from a company in bulk at the cost of Rs. 50 per kg. The retailer incurs a cost of Rs. 200 to place an order to the company, and a holding cost of Rs. 0.1 per kg per day to store the soap. The lead time between the placing and receiving of orders is 3 days. The retailer's current ordering policy is to order 200 kg every 5 days. 
    If the retailer uses an optimum order policy to minimize the total cost, the saving in Rs. in the total cost as compared to the current policy will be
