- Assume the demand for a companys drug Wozac during the current year is 50,000, and assume demand will grow at 5% a year. If the company builds a plant that can produce x units of Wozac per year, it will cost 16x. Each unit of Wozac is sold for 3. Each unit of Wozac produced incurs a variable production cost of 0.20. It costs 0.40 per year to operate a unit of capacity. Determine how large a Wozac plant the company should build to maximize its expected profit over the next 10 years.The Tinkan Company produces one-pound cans for the Canadian salmon industry. Each year the salmon spawn during a 24-hour period and must be canned immediately. Tinkan has the following agreement with the salmon industry. The company can deliver as many cans as it chooses. Then the salmon are caught. For each can by which Tinkan falls short of the salmon industrys needs, the company pays the industry a 2 penalty. Cans cost Tinkan 1 to produce and are sold by Tinkan for 2 per can. If any cans are left over, they are returned to Tinkan and the company reimburses the industry 2 for each extra can. These extra cans are put in storage for next year. Each year a can is held in storage, a carrying cost equal to 20% of the cans production cost is incurred. It is well known that the number of salmon harvested during a year is strongly related to the number of salmon harvested the previous year. In fact, using past data, Tinkan estimates that the harvest size in year t, Ht (measured in the number of cans required), is related to the harvest size in the previous year, Ht1, by the equation Ht = Ht1et where et is normally distributed with mean 1.02 and standard deviation 0.10. Tinkan plans to use the following production strategy. For some value of x, it produces enough cans at the beginning of year t to bring its inventory up to x+Ht, where Ht is the predicted harvest size in year t. Then it delivers these cans to the salmon industry. For example, if it uses x = 100,000, the predicted harvest size is 500,000 cans, and 80,000 cans are already in inventory, then Tinkan produces and delivers 520,000 cans. Given that the harvest size for the previous year was 550,000 cans, use simulation to help Tinkan develop a production strategy that maximizes its expected profit over the next 20 years. Assume that the company begins year 1 with an initial inventory of 300,000 cans.• Use this information for the question below. Low-Grade Copper Ore $571 per Ton High-Grade Copper Ore $843 per Ton Coloma Cooper Incorporated is able to produce $640 worth of copper from one ton of low-grade copper ore. Because of its higher copper content, Coloma can produce $940 worth of copper from one ton of high-grade copper ore. A mining company is offering to trade 7,250 tons of low-grade copper ore for 5,000 tons of high-grade copper ore. Assuming Coloma currently has 5,000 tons of high-grade ore, what should it do?
- Refer to the Factory-to-Six-Customers problem and start with the original information. Each customer increases demand by 1000 units. This increased demand has to be met. Re-calculate the optimal solution. At the new solution, which of the following statements is true? A. The total shipping costs are $252,900 B. Quantity shipped from Factory 1 to Customer 1 declines by 6000 units C. Both A and B D. Neither A norA tire company has the following capacity and demand data for the year: Capacity = 3,000 tires per month Demand for the first six (6) months (January – June) = 2, 500 tires per month Demand for the next six (6) months (July – December) = 4, 000 tires per month If the company decides to produce tires at capacity (3, 000 tires per month) during the first six months, how many tires will it be able to build up in its inventory after six months? How many months will the built-up inventory computed in A last to meet the increasing demand. Assuming that the company continues to product at capacity per month. (A production line is a set of sequential operations established in a factory plant where components are assembled to make a finished product or where materials are put through a refining process to produce an end-product that is suitable for onward consumption. Ford have seven production lines in their manufacturing plant for their automotive parts where each production line produces 120, 100, 80, 116, 77, 94, 112 output per day. (a) As the Production Manager at Ford, you are required to submit the daily report of the production plant. Calculate the mean, median, and mode from the data based on the output that has been provided.
