2 (a) What are the key features of JIT and how does it affect MPC system. Explain in detail.(10 marks) 2 (b) The standard weight of a special purpose brick is 5kg and it contains two basic ingredients B1 and B2, B1 cost Rs.5 per kg and B2 cost Rs.8 per kg. Strength consideration dictate that the brick contains not more than 4 kg of B1 and a minimum of 2kg of B2. Since the demand for the product is likely to be related to the price of the brick, find graphically the minimum cost of the brick satisfying the above conditions(10 marks) 3 (a) Write short note on the following
i) MPC routing and scheduling
ii) Shop floor control.

5 (a) An airline company ha drawn up a new flight schedule involving five flights. To assist in allocating five pilots to the flights, it has asked them to state their preference scores by giving each flight a number out of 10. The higher the number. the greater is the preference. Certain of these flights are unsuitable to some pilots owing to domestic reasons. These have been marked with a 'X'.
