Read “Space Age Furniture Company” in Chapter 9 of your text. Respondto the following and include any Materials Requirement Planning (MRP)calculations:Develop an MRP for Space Age Furniture Company using theinformation in the case including the production of sub-assemblies inlot sizes of 1,000. The lot size of 1,000 for sub-assemblies has produced a lumpydemand for part 3079. Suggest ways for improvements over sub-assembliesin lot sizes of 1,000. Analyze the trade-off between overtime costs and inventory costs. Calculate a new MRP that improves the base MRP. Compare and contrast the types of production processing—jobshop, batch, repetitive, or continuous—and determine which the primarymode of operation is and why. Describe ways that management can keep track of job status and location during production. Recommend any changes that might be beneficial to the company and/or add value for the customer. The final case study should demonstrate your understanding of thereading as well as the implications of new knowledge. The paper shouldintegrate readings, scholarly sources, and class discussions into workand life experiences. It may include explanation and examples fromprevious events as well as implications for future applications. The purpose of the final case study is for you to culminate thelearning achieved in the course by describing your understanding andapplication of knowledge in the field of operations management.

Space Age Furniture CompanyThe Space Age Furniture Company manufactures tables and cabinets to hold microwave ovens and portable televisions. These products are made in various sizes and with various features, but all follow basically the same production and assembly operations. However, two of these products—the Saturn microwave stand and the Gemini TV stand—have a part (no. 3079) that requires machining on a special lathe used only for making that part. At present the machine is run by Ed Szewczak, a machinist who also operates other machines in Space Age’s shop. Once set up and started, the lathe can run nearly unattended. However, the machinist must be present (even if not actually attending the machine) any time one of the machines, including the lathe, is in operation. At present, Ed works a regular 40-hour week. However, due to the workload for producing part 3079, it has been necessary to schedule frequent overtime for him in order to finish the necessary parts on time.Coral Snodgrass, operations manager for Space Age, has just heard from Ed’s foremen that Ed is becoming unhappy about so much overtime. As Coral knows, Ed has been with the company a long time and is an excellent, reliable employee. Skilled machinists with Ed’s experience and employment record are extremely difficult to find. Coral wonders what can be done to alleviate this problem.Recently, Space Age began using an MRP system that has helped reduce inventories greatly and improve on-time deliveries. In fact, Space Age carries no finished-goods inventory. Instead, everything in the master schedule is being produced for customer orders, so all products are shipped almost immediately. Previously Space Age had estimated that it cost $1.25 per week to store each Gemini and $1.50 per week to store each Saturn that wasn’t shipped immediately. The master schedule for producing these two items for the next six weeks is shown below.Master ScheduleWeek123456Gemini600400700500400600Saturn300400400600300300The part in question, 3079, is used in two different subassemblies: no. 435, which is used in the Gemini TV stand, and no. 257, which is used in the Saturn microwave stand. One of part 3079 is used in each subassembly, and one of each subassembly is used in each of the final products.Part 3079 may be produced in any quantity since the lathe that makes it is not used for anything else. However, both of the subassemblies are produced using the same equipment. To minimize change over time, Space Age has decided that these subassemblies should be made in minimum quantities of 1,000 at a time, although there is no problem with capacity on the equipment that makes them. In fact, an order for 1,000 of subassembly 435 is due to be received in week 1, as is an order for 1,000 of subassembly 257. Lead time for both these subassemblies is one week, and no inventory is expected to be on hand for either part at the beginning of week 1. There is not any on-hand inventory of part 3079, and there are no orders in process.Ed Szewczak earns $22 per hour and gets a 50% premium for any overtime work. Whenever part 3079 is made, there is no set-up time, but processing takes 0.03 hour per unit. It costs $0.25 per week to hold any of these parts over from one week to the next. The cost of holding each subassembly in inventory is $0.75 per unit per week.
