- Mack’s guitar fabrication shop produces low cost, highly durable guitars for beginners. Typically, out of the 100 guitars that begin production each month, only 80 percent are considered good enough to sell. The other 20 percent are scrapped due to quality problems that are identified after they have completed the production process. Each guitar sells for $300. Because some of the production process is automated, each guitar only requires 10 labor hours. Labor is paid at $10/hour, materials cost is $40/guitar, and overhead is $2,000. a) Calculate the labor and multifactor productivities. b) After some study, the operations manager recommends 3 options to improve the company’s multifactor productivity: (1) increase the sales price by 10 percent, (2) improve quality so that only 10 percent are defective, or (3) reduce labor, material, and overhead costs by 10 percent. Which option has the greatest impact on the multifactor productivity measure?arrow_forwardForrester and Cohen is a small accounting firm, managed by Joseph Cohen since the retirement in December of his partner Brad Forrester. Cohen and his 3 CPAS together bill 640 hours per month. When Cohen or another accountant bills more than 160 hours per month, he or she gets an additional "overtime" pay of $63.80 for each of the extra hours: this is above and beyond the $5,100 salary each draws during the month. (Cohen draws the same base pay as his employees.) Cohen strongly discourages any CPA from working (billing) more than 245 hours in any given month. The demand for billable hours for the firm over the next 6 months is estimated below: Month Estimate of Billable Hours Jan. 600 Feb. 500 Mar. 1,020 Apr. 1,210 May 660 June 590 Cohen has an agreement with Forrester, his former partner, to help out during the busy tax season, up to 245 hours in any given month if needed, for an hourly fee of $135.

To make this plan work, Yoda needs a car that will get at least 25 miles per gallon of gasoline. Yoda goes to Darth's Used Car Dealership. Yoda tells Darth that Yoda needs a car that gets at least 25 miles per gallon of gasoline. Yoda explains the Awayville job situation and Darth says, "I understand - I will check my inventory - I will be right back." Darth goes into his office and looks through two different files of used car inventory. One file contains all cars that get over 25 miles per gallon of gasoline and the other file contains all cars that get under 25 miles per gallon of gasoline. Darth selects a used car from the file that indicates that the cars get over 25 miles per gallon of gasoline…arrow_forward
- 2. A firm makes two products X and Y and has a total production capacity of 9 tons per day.X and Y requiring the same production capacity. The same has a permanent contract to supply at least two tons of X and at least 3 tons of Y per day to another company. Each ton of X requires 20 machine hours of production time and each ton of Y requires 50 machine hours of production time. The daily maximum possible number of machine hours is 360. The entire firm's output can be sold and profit made is 80 R.O of X and 120 R.O per ton of Y. It is required to determine the production schedule for maximum profit and to calculate this profit.

Recently, he was appointed Director of Manufacturing Computer Services. In just six weeks in this new position, [he] has moved to reduce the amount of information provided to manufacturing department managers by 60 percent. He argues that excess data is distracting, unused, and expensive to provide. Willy McClean has been department manager for 12 years. During a coffee break with some of his department production supervisors, Willy is quite vocal about the change. “Who’s this guy Armstrong to tell us what data we need? He needs to be out here for a few weeks to find out what it’s like. Keep it quiet, but I’ve got a contact in Computer Services who’ll get me all the data analyses I want for just a $20 bill each month. It’s a good deal, and Armstrong will never know.

They use a lathe to construct two types of parts. The "Body" part is used to support the torso of the horse and the "Leg" part is used to support the legs. Each horse sculpture needs 1 Body part and 4 Leg parts. Switching between either of the types of parts requires 25 minutes. Once ready to produce, the lathe produces a Body part in 4 minutes and a single Leg part in 2 minutes. The lathe only makes horse parts. For parts (a)–(d) assume Keuka operates a cyclic schedule in which they make 100 Body parts and then 400 Leg parts. Suppose Keuka is capacity-constrained. Also, suppose that the process now has an Assembly resource which has 1 worker who is able to assemble a horse sculpture in 16 minutes. This is in addition to the Lathe resource. If Keuka designs a cyclic schedule for the lathe, how many Legs should they make each batch so as to minimize inventory while…arrow_forward
