A-10 Pylon: A Case Study

A short time ago, Space Age began utilizing the material requirements planning (MRP) inventory system that helps towards reducing the inventory and additionally improves towards on-time deliveries. The estimated cost per week is $1.25 to each store related to Gemini and for Saturn the estimated cost per week is $1.50. Saturn does not participate towards shipping immediately. Thus, the master schedule for producing Gemini and Saturn for the next six weeks are

Equipment age is a constraint Wheaton’s is faced with and in 2014 increased user rates to offset the cost for replacing the Northside Interceptor, estimated at about $40 million dollars, along with some smaller capital improvement projects. Replacement of the Interceptor is necessary because portions were built in 1926 and 1963, and it is near the end of its useful life (WSD, 2015).

BAL developed capabilities in the areas of space and communications, site management and the upgrade and maintenance of military aircraft and equipment. As BAL grew, it faced difficult decisions how to improve or upgrade its procurement system and process to meet its customers’ requirement, especially its major customer the Australian Defence Force (ADF).

After talking to the supplier and meeting with your Engineers and Financial Analysts, you’ve gathered the following pieces of data:

Assistant Plant Manager: Although the Assistant Plant Manager made a few good points about EPC, I agree with the executive committee on the refusal to accept the EPC project. Due to the economic grounds of this project there isn’t a way that you could be able to make this happen, especially with the recession. Along with that, because it has a negative NPV it is not a wise decision to make even if you add it to the polypropylene line renovations. Although the improved cash flow would be great, the executive committee is correct on rejecting the project.

This will be a perfect project to accept due to life span stay between 2 to 3 years. This will be within company’s policy.

When looking at the incremental cash flows for the new project, replacing the old machine with the Zinser machine is a good investment. The NPV of the investment is $6.33 million and the IRR is 28%, much higher than the 10% hurdle rate (see exhibit 4). While all the assumptions made could affect the NPV of the project, the major concern that could erode the value of the project is whether Aurora can survive for 10 years. In our early termination

In order to meet both of Northcutt’s objectives of reducing inventory and increasing service levels, Northcutt should implement a continuous review system to manage inventory. Based on the calculations provided in question 2 of the appendix, managers at Northcutt will need to set the reorder point for part FB378 at 118 units and 296 units for part GS131 for the

This option is initially appealing because it does not involve an initial investment. However, it does entail $2 million investment once a year for factory retooling and maintenance. Even with the annual investment, we would continue current trends (losses of $928,000/yr). This option yields a net present value of $-11.1 million (for 5 years projection) OR $-17.99 million (10 years projection).

This project is reasonable and worth to take it. It will add more value to the company since its NPV is positive and has an attractive IRR and MIRR (higher than WACC). Moreover, the breakeven occurs in year two, in the middle of the project lifecycle, which is a good sign as well.
