OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
Ram
Dubey recently purchased a chain of dry cleaners in North Uttar Pradesh.
Although the business is making a modest profit now, Ram suspects that if he
invests in a new press, he could recognize a substantial increase in profits.
The new press costs $ 15,400 to purchase and install and can press 40 shirts an
hour or 320 per day. Ram estimates that with the new press, it will cost $ 0.25
to launder and press each shirt, customers are charged $ 1.10 per shirt.
Q1)
How many shirts will Ram have to press to break even?
Q2)
So far Ram’s workload has varied from 50 to 200 shirts a day. How long would it
take to break even on the new press at the low demand estimate? At the high
demand estimate?
Q3)
If Ram cuts his price to $ 0.99 a shirt, he expects to be able to stabilize his
customer base at 250 shirts per day. How long would it take to break even at
the reduced price of $ 0.99?
Q4)
Should Ram cut his price and buy the new press?

The
Peachtree Airport in Atlanta serves light aircraft. It has a single runway and
one air traffic controller to land planes. It takes an airplane and minutes to
land and clear the runway (exponentially distributed) planes arrive at the
airport at the rate of 5 per hour (Poisson distributed).
Q1) Determine the average number of planes that
will stack up waiting to land?
Q2) Find the average time a plane must wait in
line before it can lead?
Q3) Calculate the average time it takes a plane
to clear the runway once it has notified the airport that it is in the vicinity
and wants to land?
Q4) The FAA has a rule that an air traffic
controller can, on the average, land planes a maximum of 45 minutes out of
every hour. There must be 15 minutes of idle time available to relieve the
tension. Will this airport have to hire an extra air traffic controller?
