Sally Statistics is implementing a system of statistical process control (SPC) charts in her factory in an effort to reduce the overall cost of scrapped product. The current cost of scrap is $X per month. If a 75% learning curve is expected in the use of the SPC charts to reduce the cost of scrap, what would the percentage reduction in monthly scrap cost be after the charts have been used for 6 months? (Hint: Model each month as a unit of production.)

Whimsical Toys A US-based designer and manufacturer of wimsical, high quality, wooden toys is looking to expand manufacturing capacity to service its growing domestic demand. The company currently owns one manufacturing facility in North Carolina and is considering either building onto this facility or sourcing some of its production from Mexico. If it sources from Mexico, the company must further consider whether to own this facility or outsource this fraction of its production to another company. Labor cost as a % of total bill of materials cost at the North Carolina site is currently 30% for a typical wooden toy and the average wage of workers in the plant is $27/hour. The average wage of workers doing similar work in Mexico is $4.50/hour. If the labor costs remain the same as described above, what percent of product cost results in no cost difference between production in US and Mexico? a. 0% b. 18% c. 20% d. 22%
Dennis Odle is the production vice president of Century Electrics Company, a very large manufacturer of printers for computer systems. Each printer uses a fractional horsepower electric motor drive mechanism. Dennis has estimated that the cost of being out of stock for this particular motor is P1,300 for each unit Century is short while the carrying cost for each stock is P650. Using an EOQ model, Dennis has already calculated that the economic order quantity of this motor is 7,200 with an average usage of 60 motors a day. The normal lead time is 10 days. a.How many alternatives for the number of the safety stock do we have? for continuous question:If 0 being the first alternative of the Safety Stock and the highest alternative being the last... b.What is the total annual stockout cost of the first alternative? c.What is the total annual safety stock cost of the last alternative? d.What is the ROP (Lead time demand + Safety stock)?

A strawberry growing company is deciding its production and sale plan for the national and international markets.The sale price for each ton of strawberry depends on the quantity offered in the market. If x1 tons is offered for the domestic market, the sale price will be (30 - x1) CU / ton, while if x2 tons is offered for the international market, the sale price will be (40 - x2) CU / ton.The cost for each ton of strawberry for the domestic market is 10 MU, while for the international market it is 15 MU.The company has the capacity to produce up to 10 tons of strawberries for sale and according to SAG restrictions, it must dedicate at least 10% of production to the international market.For technical production reasons, the company must additionally satisfy the following restriction: x12 + x22 ≤64.d) There is the option of buying new machinery to increase the production capacity of the company. In what range should the new machine increase production capacity to suit the company? How…
At the beginning of the year, managers at King Industries estimated $420000 in manufacturing overhead, 20000 direct labor hours and 50000 machine hours. Actual manufacturing costs at the end of the year were $425000 in manufacturing overhead. During the year, 22000 direct labor hours and 47000 machine hours were incurred. If overhead is applied based on direct labor hours, what is the predetermined overhead rate for the coming year? $21.00 per direct labor hour $8.40 per direct labor hour $19.09 per direct labor hour $9.04 per direct labor hour
The management of First American Bank was concerned about the potential loss that might occur in the event of a physical catastrophe such as a power failure or a fire. The bank estimated that the loss from one of these incidents could be as much as $100 million, including losses due to interrupted service and customer relations. One project the bank is considering is the installation of an emergency power generator at its operations headquarters. The cost of the emergency generator is $800,000, and if it is installed, no losses from this type of incident will be incurred. However, if the generator is not installed, there is a 10% chance that a power outage will occur during the next year. If there is an outage, there is a .05 probability that the resulting losses will be very large, or approximately $80 million in lost earnings. Alternatively, it is estimated that there is a .95 probability of only slight losses of around $1 million. Using decision tree analysis, determine whether the…
