- XYZ Leather Company manufactures and sells two products, wallets and belts, in its two-department plant. Operating data pertaining to the two products are as follows: Wallets Belts Selling price per unit P30 P50 Cost per unit: Variable manufacturing costs P8 P15 Variable marketing costs P2 P3 Fixed manufacturing costs P5 P5 Fixed marketing costs P6 P1 Cutting Finishing…Can you do the calculations in Excel file showing all the work? You are a planner at a small distribution warehouse. Historically, the warehouse has targeted fulfilling 10 orders per hour for planning purposes. However, as the diversity of products has expanded, as well as the size of orders, this target has proven to be unreliable, as the orders are continually behind schedule and customers are complaining about late deliveries. Your supervisor has tasked you with determining a better target so that the warehouse may provide better delivery estimates to customers for their orders. Over the past week you gathered data for the number of orders fulfilled each day. This data is shown in the following table. Day Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Orders 88 64 72 56 80 A. Assuming 8 hours of operations each day, what is the mean and standard deviation for orders fulfilled per hour? The following table may help with these calculations. N is the total…Spartan Castings must implement a manufacturing process that reduces the amount of particulates emitted into the atmosphere. Two processes have been identified that provide the same level of particulate reduction. The first process is expected to incur $350,000 of fixed cost and add $50 of variable cost to each casting Spartan produces. The second process has fixed costs of $150,000 and adds $90 of variable cost per casting.a. What is the break-even quantity beyond which the first process is more attractive?b. What is the difference in total cost if the quantity produced is 10,000?
- 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 Production rate Daily production time Process 2 35 parts/hour 4 hours/day 20% 15 parts/hour 7 hours/day 9% Percent parts rejected Assume that the daily demand for hubs allows all defect-free hubs to be sold. Select the process that maximizes profit per day if each part is made from $4 worth of material and can be sold for $30. Both processes are fully automated, and variable overhead cost is charged at the rate of $40 per hour.Prevar Corporation currently purchases components from one of its suppliers. The current purchase price is $1500 per component, with annual purchase volume of 750 units. The ops manager believes that this component could be made inhouse with some minor modifications to the current factory set up. Fixed cost for dedicating a line for this component is estimated at $50,000. Raw materials for the component is estimated at $900, overhead at $200 and it would take 10 hours of labor (at $20 per hour) to produce each component.10 principles of Osborne and gaebler that define NPM as listed above and briefly explain each of them in your own words
- Describe the role of a business process model in requirement analysis for business process reengineering. How does it enhance process optimization?A firm is selling two products—chairs and bar stools—each at $50 per unit. Chairs have a variable cost of $25, and bar stools $20. The fixed cost for the firm is $20,000.a. If the sales mix is 1:1 (one chair sold for every bar stool sold), what is the break-even point in dollars of sales? In units of chairs and barstools?b. If the sales mix changes to 1:4 (one chair sold for every four bar stools sold), what is the break-even point in dollars of sales? In units of chairs and barstools?At Fraser engineering. Erix is trying to decide whether to purchase a certain part to to have it produced internally. Internal production could use either of two processes. One would entail a variable cost per unit of $17, and an annual fixed cost of $240,000. Three vendors are willing to provide the part. Vendor A has a price of $20 per-unit for any volume up to 30,000 units Vendor B has a price of $22 per-unit for demand of 1,000 units or less, and $18 per-unit for larger quantities. Vendor C offers a price of $21 per-unit for the first 1,000 units, and $19 for each additional unit. What is the correct formula to use to compare these options? Which options would be best for: I. 10,000 units? ii. 20,000 units? iii. 100,000 units? What is the value in considering these options across three very different demand values ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 units?
- Case StudyThe ARCASNA company is dedicated to the manufacture of dog and cat food. Recently, the industrial engineering team became aware of potential areas of opportunity in the area of dog meat manufacturing. Currently, 45 liters of the solution are used to create them, and 50 jumbo, 75 medium and 100 small-sized chews are produced daily, to be sold and distributed in single packs (jumbo), trios (medium) and 5-packs (small). Recently there were inspections by the new manager in the industrial engineering area and the team realized that at the end of the day, among the "waste" (the material that remains at the end of each process), there is enough material left to fill a 5-liter bucket, which is wasted and thrown away. However, as there are 10 processes in total, there is very little left over at each of the stations, so they had never stopped to analyze the total loss per line. There are 6 workers on the line, distributed as follows: (Shown in the attached image). In addition, the…The union manufacturing company is producing two types of products a and b.
