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.

Business-process outsourcing (BPO) is a type of outsourcing that consists of contracting operations and responsibilities of a specific business process (e.g., human resources) to a third-party service provider. Such outsourcing generally began with manufacturing firms outsourcing their supply chain but has grown into a much wider range of processes, including marketing, finance, sales, and accounting. According to a recent Forbes article, the revenue of the global outsourced services industry rose from $45 billion in 2000 to nearly $100 billion in 2012. Competition among firms in the BPO market is strong. Companies based in the United States include HP Enterprise Services, Affiliated Computer Services, and Automated Data Processing (ADP). A number of Indian companies, however, also provide worldwide BPO services, such as Infosys, Wipro, and Genpact. An article in BusinessWeek suggested that BPO can save end users anywhere from 15 to 85 percent. International BPO service providers are…
Using the annual data for the period of 2000 and 2010, Prof Omanya applied a Cobb -Douglas production function to estimate the production for the Kenya's manufacturing sector using firms listed on Nairobi Securities Exchange. His results were given as: Q= K0.45 L0.55 Where Q = units of output; L = units of Labor; and K = units of capital What are the marginal products of Labor and Capital? Calculate the factor intensity and explain the technique of production that is being used by Prof Omanya How would you characterize the Kenya's manufacturing sector in terms of returns to scale? What are the main three causes of such returns to scale? Explain three significance of returns to scale in Managerial decision making
