A company manufactures a product using machine cells. Each cell has a design capacity of 250 units per day and an effective capacity of 230 units per day. At present, actual output averages 200 units per cell, but the manager estimates that productivity improvements soon will increase output to 224 units per day. Annual demand is currently 60,000 units. It is forecasted that within two years, annual demand will triple. How many cells will the company require to satisfy predicted demand under these conditions? Assume 242 workdays per year. (Round up your answer to the next whole number.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. 3X Cells

Knott's Industries manufactures standard and super premium backyard swing sets. Currently it has four identical swing-set-making machines, which are operated 275 days per year and 8 hours each day. A capacity cushion of 20 percent is desired. The following information is also known Annual Demand Standard Processing Time Average Lot Size Standard Setup Time per Lot a. Does Knott's have sufficient capacity to meet annual demand? Knott's does Standard Model 20,000 5min 50 30 min Super Premium Model 10,000 17 min 30 45 min have sufficient capacity to meet annual demand because 3 machines are needed. (Enter your response rounded up to the next whole number.) b. If Knott's was able to reduce the setup time for the Super Premium Model from 45 minutes to 30 minutes, would there be enough current capacity to produce 20,000 units of each type of swing set? If Knott's was able to reduce the setup time for the Super Premium Model from 45 minutes to 30 minutes, there would not be enough capacity to…

Knott's Berry Farm is contemplating buying a new van for its operations. The farm's engineering staff has researched the market and found 2 units that appear to meet their requirements. Truck # 1 has a cost of $37,000 and requires an annual maintenance cost of $2,700. At the end of its useful life (3 years), it is projected to have a salvage value of $5,000. On the other hand, Truck #2 has an initial cost of $40,000 and requires only $2,000 in annual operating costs because the manufacturer is claiming that some routine maintenance is covered in the price of the truck. Truck # 2 has an estimated salvage value of $8,000 at the end of its 4 year service life. The CEO has determined that the farm's MARR is 12%. The trucks are needed for 12 years according to the 2024 Strategic Plan. The Engineering Department has determined that no significant changes are needed in the future that would change prices and functional characteristics of each truck. As a member of the Engineering Department,…

Sturgill Manufacturing Inc. needs to predict the numbers of machines and employees required to produce its planned production for the coming year. The plant runs three shifts continuously during the workweek, for a total of 120 hours of capacity per week. The shop efficiency (the percent of total time available for production), which accounts for setups, changeovers, and maintenance, averages 70% with a standard deviation of 5%, which reduces the weekly capacity. Six key parts are produced, and the plant has three different types of machines to produce each part. The machines are not interchangeable as they each have a specific function. The time to produce each part on each machine varies. The mean time and standard deviation (in hours) to produce each part on each machine are shown below: Mean Time Part Type Machine A Machine B Machine C 1 3.5 2.6     8.9 2 3.4 2.5  8 3 1.8 3.5 12.6 4 2.4 5.8 12.5 5 4.2 4.3 28  6…
