A machined part has a standard machining time of 2.8 minutes per part on a milling machine. During an eight-hour shift, 400 units are to be produced. Of the 480 minutes available for production, the milling machine will be operational 80% of the time. During the time the machine is operational, parts are produced at a rate equal to 95% of the standard rate. How many milling machines are required?

2. A machine part can be exhausted either from aluminum or steel. There is an order of 8,000 units.Steel costs 3.80Php/kg, while aluminum cost 8.70Php/kg. If steel is used, the steel per unit weighs110g and 30g for aluminum. In production, steel is 50 units/hr and 80units/hr with an aid of a toolcosting 640Php, which will be useless after the 8,000 units are finished. The cost of the machineoperator is 10.80Php/hr. if all other costs are identical, which material is more economical?a. Aluminum, by 1,264Php cost difference.b. Aluminum, by 1,653Php cost differencec. Steel, by 640Php cost difference.d. Steel, by 1,088Php cost difference.e. None of the above
Please do not give solution in image formate thanku. The Attaran Corporation manufactures two electrical products: portable air conditioners and portable heaters. The assembly process for each is similar in that both require a certain amount of wiring and drilling. Each air conditioner takes 3 hours of wiring and 2 hours of drilling. Each heater must go through 2 hours of wiring and 1 hour of drilling. During the next production period, 240 hours of wiring time are available and up to 130 hours of drilling time may be used. Each air conditioner sold yields a profit of $20. Each heater assembled may be sold for a $11 profit.
You work for a small shipping company and warehouse. The owners have decided to update the software used for tracking, shipping, receiving, and inventory. Fifteen computers need to be updated. Hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Each computer must be updated manually by one of two trained employees, both of whom must be borrowed from other managers. The update procedure consumes 4 hours of the updater's time and generates an additional 1.5 hours of computer downtime. The work must be performed at a central loading station, away from the current location of the computer. How does the project portfolio management approach lead to enhanced strategic management for an organization and give an example how you woulduse this in a work place?

The seasonal yield of olives in a Piraeus, Greece, vineyard is greatly influenced by a process of branch pruning. If olive trees are pruned every two weeks, output is increased. The pruning process, however, requires considerably more labor than permitting the olives to grow on their own and results in a smaller size olive. It also, though, permits olive trees to be spaced closer together. The yield of 1 barrel of olives by pruning requires 5 hours of labor and 1 acre of land. The production of a barrel of olives by the normal process requires only 2 labor hours but takes 2 acres of land. An olive grower has 250 hours of labor available and a total of 150 acres for growing. Because of the olive size difference, a barrel of olives produced on pruned trees sells for $20, whereas a barrel of regular olives has a market price of $30. The grower has determined that because of uncertain demand, no more than 40 barrels of pruned olives should be produced. Use graphical LP to find (a) the…

Mack’s guitar fabrication shop produces low-cost, highly durable guitars for beginners. Typically, out of the 100 guitars thatbegin production each month, only 80 percent are consideredgood enough to sell. The other 20 percent are scrapped due toquality problems that are identified after they have completedthe production process. Each guitar sells for $250. Becausesome of the production process is automated, each guitar onlyrequires 10 labor hours. Each employee works an average160 hours per month. Labor is paid at $10/hour, materials costis $40/guitar, and overhead is $4,000.a. Calculate the labor and multifactor productivity ratios.b. After some study, the operations manager Darren Funkrecommends three options to improve the company’smultifactor productivity: (1) increase the sales price by10 percent, (2) improve quality so that only 10 percentare defective, or (3) reduce labor, material, and overheadcosts by 10 percent. Which option has the greatest impacton the multifactor…
