Determine its probability of no wear-out before each of the following lengths of service.

Risk is widely classified into disruption and operational risks (Kleindorfer & Saad, 2005; Tang, 2006). Extreme uncertainty and the absence of synchronization between supply and demand are linked to operational risks while circumstances such as labor strikes, terrorist attacks, and natural calamities are related to disruption risks (Lockamy & McCormack, 2010). The probability of human injury or even death is high in disruptions such as multi-casualty disasters which brings about the challenge of increased pressure on healthcare. Healthcare institutions are required to become capable of understanding and adapting to environmental changes to mitigate such unexpected changes. These unexpected changes can affect the competitiveness, responsiveness and operating procedures of a firm significantly (Huang, Yen, & Liu, 2014), and for healthcare institutions, the…arrow_forward
- A product engineer has developed the following equation for the cost of a system component: C = (10P) 2, where C is the cost in dollars and P is the probability that the component will operate as expected. The system is composed of two identical components, both of which must operate forthe system to operate. The engineer can spend $173 for the two components.

The system is composed of 3 identical components, all of which must operate for the system to operate. The engineer can spend $254 for the 3 components.

- A company owns a 5-year-old turret lathe that has a book value of $23,000. The present market value for the lathe is $18,000. The expected decline in market value is $1,700/year to a minimum market value of $4,080; maintenance plus operating costs for the lathe equal $4,470/year.A new turret lathe can be purchased for $46,000 and will have an expected life of 8 years. The market value for the turret lathe is expected to equal $46,000(0.70)k at the end of year k. Annual maintenance and operating cost is expected to equal $1,900. Based on a 12% MARR, should the old lathe be replaced now? Use an equivalent uniform annual cost comparison, a planning horizon of 7 years, and the cash flow approach.EUAC for keeping old turret lathe: $EUAC for replacing turret lathe: $arrow_forwarda buliding owned by hopewell company was recently valued at 850,00 by a real estate expert , the president of the company is questioning the accuracy of the firms latest balance sheet becuase it shows a book value of 550,000 for the building ,how would you explain a situation to the president.arrow_forwardAt the beginning of each week, a machine is in one of four conditions: 1 = excellent; 2 = good; 3 = average; 4 = bad. The weekly revenue earned by a machine in state 1, 2, 3, or 4 is 100, 90, 50, or 10, respectively. After observing the condition of the machine at the beginning of the week, the company has the option, for a cost of 200, of instantaneously replacing the machine with an excellent machine. The quality of the machine deteriorates over time, as shown in the file P10 41.xlsx. Four maintenance policies are under consideration: Policy 1: Never replace a machine. Policy 2: Immediately replace a bad machine. Policy 3: Immediately replace a bad or average machine. Policy 4: Immediately replace a bad, average, or good machine. Simulate each of these policies for 50 weeks (using at least 250 iterations each) to determine the policy that maximizes expected weekly profit. Assume that the machine at the beginning of week 1 is excellent.arrow_forward
