- Provided a/c sec f/400 armored vehicle trans msns; 2.4K MATV's delivered--cut shipping fee, saved $290M

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

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

CW2 Pollock successfully executed the lateral transfer of 24 AH-64D Apache's, with 14 additional LIN’s of components valued in excess of $480 million, to the Korean Enduring Equipment Set (KEES) property book with zero errors

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.

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

Do you have an update from last week’s progress on TAB deficiencies? All BAS systems level 1-3 need to be complete and functioning per our control schematics. For your checkout issues that does not affect TAB (No heat, Fan not turning on, Damper rod jammed, etc..), have you been coordinating with GMI and verifying those issues are being corrected? Soon I will be setting up pre-functional performance test with you to confirm all systems are 100% prior to the commissioning agent mobilization. At the beginning of December, our schedule reflects commissioning starting. We will be going through our commissioning schedule further into depth in tomorrows’ meeting, these next two weeks are crucial for our commissioning critical patch.

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

If an ERT has deteriorated beyond economically viable repair limits (as stated in AP106B-0102-6) it is cannibalised and scrapped, then removed from the Role bay database and LITS. A new ERT is assembled from the serviceable parts salvaged from the scrapped ERT, if any, and from the new parts taken from the spares located in the ERT consumable stores known as KAN BAN (Figure 2). The Role bay database and LITS are updated to reflect the correct state of the ERT. At any 24hr period there must be a minimum of 2 serviceable ERT’s held in the bay and ready to issue. These measures ensure that everything is utilised to its entirety and that the bay will meet the station and operational demands for serviceable ERT’s.

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).

Station Reliability - Reliability measures and metrics for all coal plants in the region were undesirable and did not meet most 2015 YE targets. Major forced outages and outage extension at Allen, Marshall, and Rogers were key contributors. Current measures and metrics for 2016 have shown a much needed improvement in reliability.

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.

The customer must be satisfied that a solution to his problem is found getting a secure, safe and continuous supply of good quality electrical power. The main concerns related to the supplied power were: that voltage levels were too low and variations too high (i.e. not within ±5% tolerance), regular power failures, and phase reversal issues on certain days. To address these concerns the initial plan was to determine if the claims made by the customer were true and then find ways in which to first address it without the least inconvenience to the customer. I sat down with the Head of Network and Plant Performance and worked out that I needed to arrange for: Voltage levels to be measured and adjusted it if possible (by adjusting tap positions on transformers, switching in of Capacitor banks or voltage regulators), remove unnecessary loading on supply feeders to the Taung Substation and reconfigure the network where possible to provide alternative paths for load to flow, measure the three phase load balance and reconfigure connected loads to provide an even spread of loads across the three phases. If these actions couldn’t resolve the problems then proceed with recruiting a team of subject matter experts to conduct more detailed investigation to ascertain the physical condition of the Taung Village 11kV feeder, then verify and record what hardware was used in the construction of the feeder and also the standard to which the structures were build and the hardware used.
