In a manufacturing industrial plant, the production system operates for 44 weeks/year, 5 days/week, 8 hours/day.

In a manufacturing industrial plant, the production system operates for 44 weeks/year, 5 days/week, 8 hours/day. The only workstation in the plant is usually unavailable for 200 hours/year, due to failures and maintenance operations. Each shift, two type of products must be processed, and the changeover time - needed to setup the workstation to switch from product A to product B and vice versa - is 1 hour. It is possible to estimate at 70% the run rates efficiency, due to workers performance losses and other various minor causes. The workstation theoretical cycle time is 5 minutes/unit, independently from the product type. Scrap rate is usually 8%. The production planner aims at producing 5'000 units/year of product A and 5'000 units/year of product B, with daily shipments to the customers. With these resources and under these hypotheses, do you think he may reach his target production level?
