Question

Question: If you wanted to produce 20 percent of one product (A), 50 percent of another (B), and 30 percent of a third product (C) in a cyclic fashion, what schedule would you suggests?

Short answer

Answer:

AABBBBBCCC (then repeat)

Step-by-step solution

Given the condition

In cycle 1

Product A is 20%

Product B is 50%

Product C is 30%

In cycle 2

Product A is 50%

Product B is 30%

Product C is 20%

In cycle 3:

Product A is 30%

Product B is 20%

Product C is 50%

This plan is ideal since it provides for the manufacturing of an equivalent share of each unit of production.

Possible schedule for the product.

Cyclically as we know product A is producing 20%, product B is producing 50% and product C is producing 30%

In 7 days, the cycle keeps on repeating itself.

Product A produces 20 % on day 1

Product B produces 50% on day 2

Product C produces 30% on day 3

Product A produces 20% on day 4

Product B produces 50% on day 5

Product C produces 30% on day 6

Product A produces 20% on day 7
