Smith Productions manufactures its hand-tools in-house. Maintenance and repair costs are increasing at ten percent per year. The company is evaluating two new processes. The first process has an annual fixed cost of $500,000 and a variable cost of $12 per part. The second process is more automated and requires an annual fixed cost of $700,000 and a variable cost of $11 per part.
Use the Excel template Break-Even in MindTap to answer the following question: What is the break-even quantity between these two processes? (Hint) Using Equations (C.1) and (C.7) in Supplement C by using goal seek (see Pgs. 629-630)
A) Which step in this process is the bottleneck? =30 min for tan leather
B) How many briefcases are processed at the bottleneck workstation per hour?=60/30=2 briefcases per hr
C) What is the throughput time of the overall process?=30+15+10+10+10
Throughput = 75 minutes
given the above information please answer qestions 1-3 below.
If the manufacturing facility operates 8 hours per day, 250 days a year, what is the annual capacity of this manufacturing process.
