A company that produces liquid facial lotion processes 2,375 lbm per hour of the product (ρ = 1.144 g/cm3 ). The production planning of the company is two shifts, one of 8 hours and the other of 6 hours per day and 300 working days per year. Calculate: a) How many liters of lotion are processed per year? b) How many bottles are required annually, if each bottle has a volume of 485 mL and they are filled to 95%? of your capacity? c) The company has a request from a customer for 795,350 bottles to deliver in a month. The company will achieve this production? d) In case of not complying with the production, what would you do as a production manager to comply with the requested by the client? Justify your answer with information

A bicycle component manufacturer produces hubs for bike wheels. Two processes are possible for manufacturing, and the parameters of each process are as follows: Process 1 Process 2 35 parts/ hour 4 hours/ day 15 parts/hour 7 hours/day 20% 9% Production rate Daily production time Percent of parts rejeted based on visual inspection Assume that the daily demand for hubs allows all defect-free hubs to be sold. Additionally, tested or rejected hubs cannot be sold. Find the process that maximizes profit per day if each part is made from Php 200 worth of material and can be sold for Php 1,500. Both processes are fully automated, and variable overhead cost is charged at the rate of Php 2,000 per hour.

#4- The mean number of air conditioning units assembled per month by Freeze, Inc. is 750 and the standard deviation is 100 units. a. If the number of air conditioning units assembled per month follows a normal distribution, calculate the probability of Freeze, Inc to assemble a quantity of air conditioning units greater than the monthly break-even point calculated in problem 3-a. b. An improved assembling process is proposed to Freeze, Inc. to reduce the variable cost from $500 per unit to $400 per unit., increase the mean number of air conditioning units assembled per month from 750 to 850 and reduce the standard deviation to 90 units. As a result of the improvements, monthly fixed costs would go up from $250,000 to $300,000. Once these improvements are implemented, calculate the new number of air conditioning units that Freeze Inc. must sell every month to break-even, discuss and justify if you would recommend the process improvement initiative. c. If the number of air conditioning…
