The Blue Parrot is an expensive restaurant in midtownopen only for dinner. Entrees are set at a fixed price of $42.In a typical month the restaurant will serve 3,600 entrees.Monthly variable costs are $61,200, and fixed costs are$31,000 per month. Customers or waiters send back 8% ofthe entrees because of a defect, and they must be preparedagain; they cannot be reworked. The restaurant owners hired a qualified black belt to undertake a Six Sigma pro-ject at the restaurant to eliminate all defects in the prepara-tion of the entrees (i.e., 3.4 DPMO). Compare the profit in both situations, with and without defects, and indicate both the percentage decrease in variable costs and the percent-age increase in profits following the Six Sigma project. As-suming that the restaurant paid the black belt $25,000 to achieve zero defects, and the restaurant owners plan toamortize this payment over a three-year period (as a fixed cost), what is the restaurant return on its investment (with-out…
Case StudyThe ARCASNA company is dedicated to the manufacture of dog and cat food. Recently, the industrial engineering team became aware of potential areas of opportunity in the area of dog meat manufacturing. Currently, 45 liters of the solution are used to create them, and 50 jumbo, 75 medium and 100 small-sized chews are produced daily, to be sold and distributed in single packs (jumbo), trios (medium) and 5-packs (small).

There are 6 workers on the line, distributed as follows: (Shown in the attached image). In addition, the…
Company ZYX is a small consulting organization with 40 employees. The manager who is responsible for employee performance appraisal has a particular way of conducting it. He has a firm belief that formal performance evaluations (with developed criteria, ratings, formal discussions etc.) are an absolute waste of time and should never be done. Instead, he thinks that he is well familiar with each employeeâ€™s work and achievements, and he can easily tell â€œwhat they are worthâ€ by interacting with them and observing their performance on a daily basis. As a result, the manager periodically stops at employeesâ€™ desks, talks to them, asks about their progress on projects and discusses other work-related issues. Employees have a lot of daily feedback and seem to like it. However, no written performance appraisal forms are ever filled in. When it comes to pay raises and promotion, the manager makes his decisions and announces them…
