Your task is to perform a simple study on several manufacturing process and the material characteristic that is suitable with the said process. You are free to choose the process, however you should study at least 4 manufacturing processes. The content of each process should include the following (not exclusively): i. Brief introduction ii. Characteristic of material that is suitable/ required for the process iii. Product that is produced from the process iv. Any related images

The ABC Company is planning a new product line and a new plant to produce the parts for the line. The product line will include 8 different models. Annual production of each model is expected to be 900 units. Each product will be assembled of 180 components. All processing of parts will be accomplished in the new plant. On average, 6 processing operations are required to produce each component, and each operation takes an average of 1 min (including an allowance for setup time and part handling). All processing opera-tions are performed at workstations, each of which includes a production machine and a human worker. The plant operates one shift. Determine the number of (a) components, (b) processing operations, and (c) workers that will be needed to accomplish the processing operations if each worker works 2,000 hr/yr.
Tribal Systems, Inc., is opening a new plant and has yet todecide on the type of process to employ. A labor-intensiveprocess would cost $10,000 for tools and equipment and $14 for labor and materials per item produced. A more au-tomated process costs $50,000 in plant and equipment but has a labor/material cost of $8 per item produced. A fullyautomated process costs $300,000 for plant and equipmentand $2 per item produced. If process selection were basedsolely on lowest cost, for what range of production wouldeach process be chosen?
The one in bold, I already sold. Spartan Castings must implement a manufacturing process that reduces the amount of particulates emitted into the atmosphere. Two processes have been identified that provide the same level of particulate reduction. The first process is expected to incur $340,000 of fixed cost and add $40 of variable cost to each casting Spartan produces. The second process has fixed costs of $100,000 and adds $70 of variable cost per casting. a. What is the break-even quantity beyond which the first process is more attractive? The break-even quantity is 8000 castings. b. What is the difference in total cost if the quantity produced is 5,000? The total cost of process 1 is greater. Find the difference in total cost?
The project manager of the gas station project shown inFigure 7.3 needs to change the project’s WBS so that itcan be compared with cost and productivity informationcollected by the company.

Manufacturing Company uses FIFO method of accumulating costs in a two-department process. Materials are introduced at the inception of the process except for a special material which is added in department 2 at 60% completion as to overhead. Inspection is done at the end of the process in both departments. Production data for Department 2 are given below: In process, beginning, (80% labor, 70% overhead)2,000 Transferred in 14,900 In process, ending (40% labor, 20% overhead) 3,000 Normal spoilage 200 Abnormal spoilage (found at 30% completion as to laborand 15% as to overhead due to internal failure) 400 Cost data for the month:In process beginning:Transferred in 15,020 Special materials 1,900 Direct labor 4,388 Overhead 11,044 Current costs:Transferred in 137,080 Special materials 14,030 Direct labor 46,000 Overhead 113,564 The cost of units transferred to finished goods is?The cost of spoilage charged to revenue is?
