At the beginning of each week, a machine is in one of four conditions: 1 = excellent; 2 = good; 3 = average; 4 = bad. The weekly revenue earned by a machine in state 1, 2, 3, or 4 is 100, 90, 50, or 10, respectively. After observing the condition of the machine at the beginning of the week, the company has the option, for a cost of 200, of instantaneously replacing the machine with an excellent machine. The quality of the machine deteriorates over time, as shown in the file P10 41.xlsx. Four maintenance policies are under consideration: Policy 1: Never replace a machine. Policy 2: Immediately replace a bad machine. Policy 3: Immediately replace a bad or average machine. Policy 4: Immediately replace a bad, average, or good machine. Simulate each of these policies for 50 weeks (using at least 250 iterations each) to determine the policy that maximizes expected weekly profit. Assume that the machine at the beginning of week 1 is excellent.
An injector machine goes down roughly 20% of the time (the injector gums up and needs to be cleaned, a quick process). One operator is assigned to service three identical such machines. Each machine can produce 100 parts/h if running properly (i.e., not down). The operator is paid $10/h and each machine costs $20/h to operate. Consider 8hr/shift a) Please fill in the table below: b) How many parts can you produce per shift? c) What is the unit cost fper part for this operation? d) If you hire another operator at the same rate to assist the first operator, what is the unit cost now? e) Is it worth hiring another operator at the same rate to assist the first operator, in case more than one machine goes down at the same time?
Ranger Supply Company is a large manufacturer and distributor of office supplies.It is based in New York but sends supplies to firms throughout the United States.It markets its supplies through periodic mass mailings of catalogues to those firms.Its clients can make orders over the phone, and Ranger ships the supplies upondemand. Ranger has had very high production efficiency in the past. This isattributed partly to low employee turnover and high morale, as employees areguaranteed job security until retirement. Ranger already holds a large proportionof the market share in distributing office supplies in the United States. Its maincompetition in the United States comes from one U.S. firm and one Canadian firm.A British firm has a small share of the U.S. market but is at a disadvantage becauseof its distance. The British firm’s marketing and transportation costs in the U.S.market are relatively high.Although Ranger’s office supplies are similar to those of its competitors, it has…
A bicycle component manufacturer produces hubs for bike wheels. Two processes are possible for manufacturing. Assume that the daily demand for hubs allows all defect-free hubs to be sold. Additionally, tested or rejected hubs cannot be sold. Find the process that maximizes profit per day if each part is made from $4 worth of material and can be sold for $32. Both processes are fully automated, and variable overhead cost is charged at the rate of $39 per hour. Process 1 Process 2 Production rate 36 parts/hour 15 parts/hour Daily production time 4 hours/day 8 hours/day Percent of parts rejected based on visual inspection 22% 10% Question content area bottom Part 1 The profit per day for Process 1 is (Round to the nearest cent.)

Luther’s company has just received an order for 1,200 of its Flying Z machines. The customer wants 350 of them next year, 400 the year after, and the balance in the third year. Luther estimates that after one year of production, the average worker with this one year of experience can produce 12 machines per year. However, new workers are 25% less productive in the first year. He has 25 workers with at least one year of experience to work on the first year’s order. He will need to hire new workers for any production that exceeds what these workers can produce. To further complicate matters, he believes 10% of his current experienced workforce will turnover at the end of the first year and the number of workers from his current workforce should remain steady after that. His history also shows that only 75% of new hires stay after their first year. Given these facts, how many total people should Luther plan to hire over the duration of this order? Please solve in excel. Group of answer…
