- How might pentagon set about introducing JIT?arrow_forwardQuestion-1- Please read the scenario below and answer the questions. The maximum word-count limit of each answer is 200 words. Mention separate heading for each part. Controlling inventory is one of Wheeled Coach’s toughest problems. Operating according to a strategy of mass customization and responsiveness, management knows that success is dependent on tight inventory control. Anything else results in an inability to deliver promptly, chaos on the assembly line, and a huge inventory investment. Wheeled Coach finds that almost 50% of the cost of every ambulance it manufactures is purchased materials. A large proportion of that 50% is in chassis (purchased from Ford), aluminum (from Reynolds Metal), and plywood used for flooring and cabinetry construction (from local suppliers). Wheeled Coach tracks these A inventory items quite carefully, maintaining tight security/control and ordering carefully so as to maximize quantity discounts while minimizing on-hand stock.

The company has 2 buses, each bought for $300,000. Each bus can carry 40 passengers per trip and does 7 daily round trips between Philadelphia and New York City. The price of each one-way ticket is $12. The company sells 28 seats on average per one-way trip, so the load factor is 70%. The annual fixed cost of running the company is $3,000,000. The major variable cost in their line of business is gasoline, which costs $25 per one-way trip. Fast Bus Inc. buses operate 365 days a year.
