- QUESTION 3 A production line has three machines A, B, and C, with reliabilities of .99, .96, and .93, respectively. The machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. Engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. Plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. In either case, three machines (A, B, and C) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. Which plan will provide the higher reliability? b. Explain why the two reliabilities are not the same. c. What other factors might enter into the decision of which plan to adopt?arrow_forwardQuestion 1.2AB Food Processing company has proposed you as a management consultant. The firm seeks to implement the balanced scorecard tool in an attempt to monitor performance. The management of AB has no idea about the balanced scorecard model and has approached you for guidance regarding the approach to implement it and the challenge such a model presents. c) Evaluate why the cost of implementing the balanced scorecard can outweigh the benefits derived from the use of the model. d) Comment on the four (4) perspectives of the balanced score cardarrow_forwardQuestion 8A food manufacturer has to decide how many batches of a product to produce next week. If one batch is produced, the profit will be $15,000. If two batches are produced, but the demand is only sufficient for one batch, then a loss of $5,000 will occur. If two batches are produced and the demand is equal to two batches, then a profit of $20,000 will occur. The food manufacturer estimates the probabilities of these two outcomes as being 0.4 and 0.6 respectively. A separate forecasting tool, estimates demand will equal two batches. In the past, this tool has correctly predicted demand in 60% of weeks, irrespective of what the level of demand turned out to be. To maximise his expected profit, the manufacturer should: Select one: a. produce 1 batch b. produce 2 batches c. be indifferent between producing 1 or 2 batches d. seek more information, as it is not possible to compute the expected profits from this information -- Correct Answer…arrow_forward
