- capacity is determined by the number of machine used? True or False?arrow_forwardA company has a factory that is designed so that it is most eficient (average unit cost is minimized) when producing 15,000 units of output each month. However, it has an absolute maximum output capability of 17,250 units per month, and can produce as little as 7,000 units per month without corporate headquarters shifting production to another plant. If the factory produces 10,925 units in October, what is the capacity utilization rate in October for this factory?arrow_forwardWhat might be some of the problems in scheduling rated capacity too closely to the load?arrow_forward

- The first station can process a unit in 10 minutes First Station capacity = 60/10 = 6 units per hour As the second station has 2 identical machines in parallel, each of which can process a unit in 12 minutes. Each unit needs to be processed on one of the two machines. Second Station Capacity = 60 x 2/12 = 10 units per hour The third station can process a unit in 8 minutes Third Station capacity = 60/8 = 7.5 units per hour What is the hourly capacity of this production line?arrow_forwardUnder ideal conditions, a picture frame manufacturing facility can produce 480 frames per day. Under normal conditions, the company schedules 434 frames per day. If the production manager sets the output rate to 382 frames per day, what is the resulting capacity cushion?arrow_forwardMario, a security guard, has drawn a shift of 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. from Teusday to Sunday getting a daily pay of P80 a day.
