A time-study technician at the Southern Textile Companyhas conducted a time study of a spinning machine operatorthat spins rough cotton yarn into a finer yarn on bobbins foruse in a weaving operation. The time study was requestedas the result of a union grievance. The average cycle time for the operator to replace all the full bobbins on the ma-chine with empty bobbins was 3.62 minutes. The technician assigned an overall performance rating for the job of 100%,and the allowance factor specified by the union contract is15%. Compute the standard time for this job.

RBMC Industry manufactures a special printing according to customer specifications with respect to the number of sheets the machine can produce per hour. With this, there is a $50 increase in the production rate x. A shop owner is considering buying one of these machines. From his past experiences, the owner estimates that the arrival rate is three per hour and each order averages 500 sheets. Contracts signed by the owner, and the customer says that there will be a penalty of 10$ per late order per hour. It is assumed that the actual production time is exponential. (a) Formulate the cost model as a function of the production rate x. (b) Determine the optimal production rate the owner should specify in his purchase of the machine from RBMC. Hint: Get the derivative of the cost function.
A strawberry growing company is deciding its production and sale plan for the national and international markets.The sale price for each ton of strawberry depends on the quantity offered in the market. If x1 tons is offered for the domestic market, the sale price will be (30 - x1) CU / ton, while if x2 tons is offered for the international market, the sale price will be (40 - x2) CU / ton.The cost for each ton of strawberry for the domestic market is 10 MUs, while for the international market it is 15 MUs.The company has the capacity to produce up to 10 tons of strawberries for sale and, according to SAG restrictions, it must dedicate at least 10% of its production to the international market.For technical production reasons, the company must additionally satisfy the following restriction: x12 + x22 ≤64.a) Raise the NLP model that allows maximizing the net profit for the companyb) State the KKT conditions for the problem and indicate whether they are necessary and / or sufficient.c)…

A coffee merchant sells a customer 3 lb of Hawaiian Kona at $6.50 per pound and 5 lb of Colombian Bean at $5.75 per pound. The merchant's scale is accurate to within ±0.03lb and assume each coffee amount was weighed separately. By how much could the customer have been overcharged or undercharged because of possible inaccuracy in the scale?
A company has invested in an online tool that is expected to generate a continuous revenue at a rate that increases 252 thousand TLs per time period t (t= 0 is when the tool begins to function). A continous promotion cost (in thousand TLs) function for 578 time periods, C(t), is also derived for the machine, C(t) = -t2 + 578t. Find out when the tool starts to generate profit? (Ignore the range of the cost function.

A company that manufactures oximeters (devices that are placed on the fingers to measure the amount of oxygenation that a person is producing) has recently been stretched by high demand due to COVID-19. From that company, it is known that in the month of August 2020 a total of 10,000 oximeters were produced that qualified as conforming product, that the company was running a total of 25 days, Monday through Saturday, 9.5 hour shifts, of that time half an hour daily was for calibration and warm-up of the production machines and one hour daily was lunch for the workers. In addition, daily half-hour meetings are held to discuss the day's production. Because they are currently working under pressure due to high demand, there are no kanban waiting times. Determine the parts per hour of work that were produced during the month of August 2020.
