Bateman Company produces helmets for drivers of motorcycles. Helmets are produced in batches according to model and size. Although the setup and production time vary for each model, the smallest lead time is six days. The most popular model, Model HA2, takes two days for setup, and the production rate is 1,125 units per day. The expected annual demand for the model is 54,000 units. Demand for the model, however, can reach 67,500 units. The cost of carrying one HA2 helmet is $3 per unit. The setup cost is $9,000. Bateman chooses its batch size based on the economic order quantity criterion. Expected annual demand is used to compute the EOQ.
Recently, Bateman has encountered some stiff competition—especially from foreign sources. Some of the foreign competitors have been able to produce and deliver the helmets to retailers in half the time it takes Bateman to produce. For example, a large retailer recently requested a delivery of 18,000 Model HA2 helmets with the stipulation that the…
Flemming Accessories produces paper slicers used in offices and in art stores. The minislicer has been one of its most popular items: Annual demand is 6,750 units and is constant throughout the year. Kristen Flemming, owner of the firm, produces the minislicers in batches. On average, Kristen can manufacture 125 minislicers per day. Demand for these slicers during the production process is 30 per day. The setup cost for the equipment necessary to produce the minislicers is $150. Carrying costs are $1 per minislicer per year. How many minislicers should Kristen manufacture in each batch?
A Printed Circuit Board (PCB) machine installs integrated circuits onto a board. Before starting to produce a board, the PCB machine requires a 20-minute setup. Once in production, the PCB machine requires only 0.15 minute per board. Assume there is ample demand.
Say the PCB machine produces 200 boards between setups and demand is 2 boards per minute. Given this operating process, what is the average inventory of boards at the PCB machine?

- A toy manufacturer makes its own wind-up motors, which are then put into different types of toys. While the toy manufacturing process is continuous, the motors are intermittent flow. Annual demand of motor is 62500 units. Carrying cost is $11.5 per unit per year. It costs the manufacturer $60 per hour to setup the motor production process. Hourly motor production rate is 6.6 times the hourly motor usage rate. The economic production quantity is 2025. What is the setup time in hours that will ensure that the economic production quantity is 2025? What will be the maximum inventory level? What is the annual cost of ordering and holding inventory?arrow_forwardThe Goodparts Company produces a component that is subsequently used in the aerospace industry. The component consists of three parts (A, B, and C) that are purchased from outside and cost 35, 30, and 10 cents per piece, respectively. Parts A and B are assembled first on assembly line 1, which produces 185 components per hour. Part C undergoes a drilling operation before being finally assembled with the output from assembly line 1. There are, in total, six drilling machines, but at present only three of them are operational. Each drilling machine drills part C at a rate of 80 parts per hour. In the final assembly, the output from assembly line 1 is assembled with the drilled part C. The final assembly line produces at a rate of 205 components per hour. At present, components are produced eight hours a day and five days a week. Management believes that if the need arises, it can add a second shift of eight hours for the assembly lines.

- A manufacturer has been shipping his product (moderately heavy machines), mounted only on skids withoutcomplete crating. To avoid crating he must ship in freight cars which contain only his machines. To do thishe must pay freight on a car capacity load of 42 tons regardless of whether or not the car is completely full.In the past he actually has shipped only 30 tons in each car. The carload freight rate is P4.10 per hundredpounds. If the machine is crated so that they can be shipped in mixed car lots, along with other merchandise,they can be shipped at a rate of P4.20 per hundred pounds with the freight bill computed only on the actualweight shipped. The cost of crating would be P25 per machine and would increase the shipping weight from1,200 to 1,220 pounds per machine. Which procedure should be followed?

Components purchased from Supplier A are priced at €7 each and used at the rate of 18,000 units per month. Components purchased from Supplier B are priced at €5 each and are used at the rate of 4,500 units per month. Components purchased from Supplier C are priced at €9 each and used at the rate of 1000 units per month. Currently, O'Donnell & Joyce purchases a separate truckload from each supplier. As part of its JIT drive, O'Donnell & Joyce has decided to aggregate purchases from the three suppliers. The trucking company charges a fixed cost of €550 for the truck with an additional charge of €120 for each stop. Thus, if O'Donnell & Joyce asks for a pickup from only one supplier, it charges €670; from two suppliers, it charges €790; and from three suppliers, it charges €910.
