Theory of constraints:
Shera company is manufacturing furniture, cabinets and tables in particular. Currently, the company can sell as many units as it can produce. However, it is constrained by its availability of machine-hour capacity. On a per unit basis, sales price for cabinets and tables are $80 and $160, respectively. With variable costs of $60 and $155. Moreover, it requires 1 1/2 machine hours to manufacture cabinets while 2 1/2 machine hours are needed for tables.
What is the contribution per unit of tables and cabinets considering the limited machine hours

- ZERO DEFECTS PROCESS Northern Tractor is a manufacturer of commercial and consumer garden tractors. In its 30 years of operation, Northern has followed a traditional manufacturing process that included maintaining a significant raw material inventory. In an effort to streamline the manufacturing process and reduce inventory carrying costs, Northerns CEO wants to switch to a JIT manufacturing process. Production consultants have informed the CEO that moving to JIT will require a new philosophy; one aspect of this is moving toward zero-defect manufacturing. Under this philosophy, if a defective part from an out-of-control process is detected, no more units should be produced until the process is corrected. The consultants estimate that the production process may occasionally be shut down anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this new approach.arrow_forwardProduct Decisions Under Bottlenecked Operations Youngstown Glass Company manufactures three types of safety plate glass: large, medium, and small.
