How should Donner make choices for use of alternative

technologies? Using this logic decide what orders should Donner
schedule on the CNC drill and on the CNC router.
X No. of Orders

Manual

Setup Time/

Total
Time
15 + 40x
240 + 2x

Solving for x,
We get x = 5.92 Units
So,
When Orders are more than 6, We should use Manual.
When Orders are less than 6, We should use CNC Drill.
When Orders are equal to 6, We can use Manual or CNC Drill.

Total
Time
50 + 1y
150 + 0.5y

Solving for y,
We get y = 200 Units
So,
When Orders are more than 200, We should use Punch Press.
When Orders are less than 200, We should use CNC Router.
When Orders are equal to 200, We can use Punch Press or CNC Router.

What are the root causes of the problems faced by Donner?

Identify some specific actions to address these problems.
Problem Faced
Nature of the Orders
- Order Received by Donner Company Differ
in Size
- The Artwork Received vary in designs and
complexity and takes
Shifting of Bottle Neck

Recommendations
This can be addressed by group cell
Technology

Intervention due to customer design problem

A Specific design consultant can be

employed who has thorough knowledge
of production capability of the Donner
Company and can detect the flaws
present in the design Artwork
Work Load should be evenly distributed
among the Senior and Novice
Employees

Senior Expert Employees - Small Orders

Novice Employees
- Large Orders

Referring Solution 2 - Machines which are used to process

orders more than 8 should be grouped
in one production line
- Machines which are used to process
orders less than 8 should be grouped in
one production line
