An international bottle manufacturer produces glass containers for customers that include condiment producers,breweries, and wineries. The growing demand for plastic containers, and a history of higher production costs due to high scrap and return rates drove the business to focus its improvement efforts on cost and customer performance.However, the unique characteristics of the bottle manufacturing process and the way in which the company measured and motivated its workforce’s performance made these improvements difficult to accomplish.Bottle plants are traditionally organized around two primary functions: forming and selecting. Forming is where raw materials are melted in furnaces and mol-ten glass is cut and formed by fast-moving, noisy, and dangerous machines that turn out thousands of bottles each minute. The workforce is primarily older males.In the selecting department, the work is relatively quiet and clean. The majority of workers are female, and the work is focused on…
The team of ABC corp, the manufacturer of a chip processor, has a good grasp on how software giants build products around its processors. The teams at ABC design processors to feature attractive capabilities to the software giants by seeking input from researchers and designers on the ABC corp team who possess knowledge of current and upcoming trends. New processors will incorporate these trends in design. After identifying what type of problem-solving style this would be an example of, incorporate the key skills entrepreneurs must have and apply them in terms of the ABC corp team.
What exactly is meant by the term "system model," and how are such models defined? While developing basic models, what considerations need to be given to the various factors?
XYZ Company produces and sells 2 products, Lambda and Gamma, and the production process goes through two departments. Traditionally Manufacturing Overhead (M/O) cost is applied on the basis of direct labor hours (DLH); estimated M/O cost is $ 5,757,500 and the estimated DLH is $12,250 for the most recent period.The team decided to replace traditional plantwide costing system to activity-based costing system. There are 3 activity cost pools which represent 3 activity areas at the plant. Direct Labor wage rate is $ 30 per hour. Compute total cost per unit (for lambda and gamma) using activity-based approach. (round your numbers).
An electricity power plant was redesigned so that the old system consisting of a single large display screen which could be seen by all of a team of three operators was replaced by individual workstation screens for operators. This worked well until there was a problem which resulted in dangerous gases being released. The team of operators had great difficulty in finding the source of the problem and deciding what to do. Because they no longer have access to all the information, they have to spend time explicitly co-ordinating their understanding of the situation by talking to each other. Under the old system, the knowledge would be shared – one operator would know what was happening with another’s area of the plant without explicit communication. Although the team’s individual responsibilities would still have been clearly divided, the knowledge of the system would be shared. How could the new system of individual workstations be modified to make better use of distributed cognition?
The Andrews family is in the process of hiring a five-star chef who can cook a variety of food to meet customers’ tastes and wants (top quality). In addition, the restaurant is designed to provide complete privacy to customers. Therefore, tables ought to be separated by no less than 5 feet. Using Chapter 2 and the assigned videos as your theoretical foundations, please answer the following question. What production process should the restaurant choose? Explain your answer. In contrast to the Andrews family restaurant, the Sweet family restaurant sells burgers, burritos, and hotdogs. The restaurant relies on high school students to cook food, and customers cannot customize their food choices. The Sweet family restaurant sells 2000 burgers per restaurant each day. The average costs of burgers, burritos, and hot dogs are $2, $3, and $0.50, respectively. Using Chapters 1 and 2 as your theoretical foundations, please answer the following question: What are the Sweet family…
