Yost-Perry Industries’ (YPI) senior management team wants to improve the profitability of the firm by accepting the right set of orders. Currently, decisions are made using the traditional method, which is to accept as much of the highest contribution margin product as possible (up to the limit of its demand), followed by the next highest contribution margin product, and so on until all available capacity is utilized. Because the firm cannot satisfy all the demand, the product mix must be chosen carefully. Jay Perry, the newly promoted production supervisor, is knowledgeable about the TOC and the bottleneck-based method for scheduling. He believes that profitability can indeed be improved if bottleneck resourcesare exploited to determine the product mix. What is the change in profits if, instead of the traditional method that YPI has used thus far, the bottleneck method advocated by Jay is used for selecting the product mix?
Explain and expand these importance of capacity planning.   1. Capacity decisions have a real impact on the ability of the organization to meet future demands for products and services. 2. Capacity decisions affect operating costs. 3. Capacity is usually a major determinant of initial cost. Typically, the greater the capacity of a productive unit, the greater its cost.
2-The process of making hotdogs involves six activities: “grind”, “mix”, “stuff”, “cook”, “peel”, and “inspect”. If the capacity of activity “cook” determines the process capacity, which of the following statements are true? a- Activity “cook” is a bottleneck activity. b- The activity time of all the other five activities is shorter than activity "cook". c- Cycle time of the process of making hotdogs is equal=1/capacity of activity “cook”. d- Increasing the capacity of activity “grind” can increase the capacity of the process of making hotdogs.     All statements are correct     Only statement 'b' is correct     Only statements 'a' and 'b' are correct     Only statements 'a', 'b' and 'c' are correct     Only statement 'a' is correct     Only statement 'd' is correct
