One of the engineers at Clearwater Electronics is a devout Muslim and is required to attend prayer services at his mosque during the day on Friday for a short period. He has asked his direct supervisor in the past if he might take time off, but his supervisor said it would be too inconvenient. The engineer has now asked HR for help in determining if a reasonable accommodation could be made so he can attend the midday prayer service. Which of the following statements would be considered the best “reasonable accommodation” HR can present to the supervisor?     The company could allow the engineer to take his lunch break to attend the prayer service. If he is late returning, he can make up the time at the end of the day.   The company could remodel a storage area as a prayer space, which would require at least six thousand dollars for the remodel because of the need for washroom facilities.   The company could ask another employee to cover for the time the engineer is gone and…

The region in which the company operates consists of a few small companies that sell similar products. A recent survey revealed that there is a growing demand for footwear for children.   Required: In your capacity a consultant, outline the factors from the scenario above that you would consider in each stage of the company’s corporate plan.

ComfySeat Furniture is a brand reputed for its wide variants of sofas that introduced a new range of mattresses and bed frames a few years ago. Since most of its products could be produced using the same resources and technology, the company’s cost structure lowered, while its product portfolio widened. In this scenario, which of the following value and cost drivers is ComfySeat applying? Multiple Choice   mass customization   economies of scope   learning-curve effect   network effect

Suppose that the Mendenhall Corporation, a producer of women’s handbags, has determined that a 73 percent experience curve accurately describes the evolution of its production costs for a new line. If the first unit costs $100 to produce, what should the 10,000th unit cost based on the experience curve?

MBO is an effective control mechanism because standards are established to measure performance variances are established to measure performance budgets are established to measure performance

You are setting up a new production line for a new type of delivery drones. You observed that the cost for the 10th unit was $6296.33 and the cost for the 80th unit was $4146.15.   a) What is the K for the learning curve model of this production line?   b) What is the s for the learning curve model of this production line?   c) At which unit does its production cost start to be less than $1500?

You have been asked to estimate the selling price per unit of a new production line of a certain product. Pertinent data are as follows: Direct labor rate Production material Factory overhead Packing costs Desired profit RO 15.00 per hour RO 375 per 100 items 125% of direct labor 25% of direct cost 30% of total manufacturing cost Past experience has shown that 83% learning curve applies to the labor required for production these items. The time to complete the first item has been estimated to be 1.86 hours. Use the estimated time to complete the 50h item as your standard time for the purpose of estimating the unit selling price.

Suppose you work in a textiles factory. You know that it's normal for machines to print an average of 12 flaws per bolt of fabric. But if there's something wrong with the machine, they will print more flaws; you use this fact to determine if a machine needs to be fixed. Fixing a machine is always a time consuming process--it can require two hours just to take the machine apart to inspect it--so you only fix them if you really think there's something wrong. A machine just printed 15 flaws on a bolt of fabric. Using the appropriate distribution function in Excel, determine the chance that this is just a coincidence and the machine is working fine? Express your answer as a decimal to four places. Include a zero before the decimal point.

This learning checkpoint allows you to review your skills and knowledge in implementing continuous improvement systems and processes. 1. Whose role is it to give feedback to service user? 2. What is a training needs analysis? 3. Why would you undertake a training needs analysis when introducing a new program?  4. What are objectives in a training plan? 5. What is a budget? 6. How can you ensure that service-user feedback is continually monitored integrated into service delivery?  7. Whose responsibility is to communicate roles and tasks involved in a program? 8. Identify two program planning principles?      please answer 7 and 8  thank you

The cumulative average labor cost per unit for the first batch (of 100 units) produced using a new process is P200. The cumulative average labor cost after the second batch is P140.Assuming that the learning curve continues, the cumulative (total) labor cost of eight batches is   P80,000 P56,000 P39,200 P54,880

In the state of Georgia, you have worked in a postition as the only administrator clinical coodinator for fifteen months. The company requires a minium of two clinical coordinators. The second clinical coordinator have been with the company for four months. How should the clinical coordinator who has worked fifteen months for the company request a pay increase and at what percentage? Only typing answer Please explain step by step without table and graph thankyou

Firm A typically sees a learning percentage of 85 percent in its processes. Firm B has a learning percentage of 80 percent. Which firm has the faster learning rate?

The average labor cost per unit for the first batch produced by a new process is P6,000. The cumulative average labor cost after the second batch is P3,600 per product. Using a batch size of 100 and assuming the learning curve continues, the total labor cost of four batches will be P216,000. P864,000. P144,000. P8,640.

Acme Batteries is introducing a new line of batteries for electric vehicles. The first battery cell costs $120 with a learning rate of 0.80. How much does the 100th battery cost? Create an Excel spreadsheet based on the model in part a, change the number of units and compute the cost per cell repeatedly to experimentally determine at what number of units of production the cost comes down to $8 per battery cell. Copy and paste a screenshot of the spreadsheet below. Provide an explanation. All info is included.

Assume the average value of a loyal customer (VLC) in a target market segment if the average purchase price is $55 per visit, the frequency of repurchase is 12 times per year, the contribution margin is 20%, and the average customer defection rate is 30%. If the customer defection rate changed to 25%, what is the percent change in the average VLC? 50% O 25% O 10% O 20% O 33%

The personnel manager of Powerwest Inc. wants to estimate the direct and cumulative average direct labor hours for producing 30 locomotive train units during the next year. He estimates from past experience that the learning rate is 90 percent.  The production department estimate that manufacturing the first unit will take 30,000 hours. Each employee averages 200 hours per month. The production rate forecast is as follows: Month Production Rate (units) Month Production Rate (units) January 2 July 2 February 3 August 4 March 2 September 3 April 4 October 3 May 3 November 1 June 2 December 1 Show/explain step by step, so I fully understand the process. How many direct hours are required to produce the 30th unit? How many total hours are needed to produce all 30 units? What is the maximum number of employees required next year? If the learning rate were to change to 0.85, what would be the impact on the total hours…

The Controlling Function What is the most important idea/concept that was generated in the controlling function? Can you explain this concept in your own words? Would you be able to provide a work place example to support your understanding of the new learning mentioned by you?

NUBD Company is planning to introduce a new product with an 80 percent learning rate for production for batches of 1,000 units. The variable labor costs are P30 per unit for the first 1,000-unit batch. Each batch requires 100 hours. There are P10,000 in fixed costs not subject to learning. What is the cumulative total time (labor hours) to produce 16,000 units based on the cumulative average-time learning curve?
