Chips, Inc. has developed a new production process to manufacture its product. The new process is complex and requires a high degree of technical skill. However, management believes there is a good opportunity for the employees to improve as they become more familiar with the production process. The production of the first unit requires 100 direct labor hours. If a 70% learning curve is used, using the cumulative average time model, the cumulative direct labor hours required to produce a total eight units would be: O 196 hours 392 hours 274 hours O 560 hours

The management of Hartman Company is trying to determine the amount of each of two products to produce over the coming planning period. The following information concerns labor availability, labor utilization, and product profitability: Labor-Hours Required(hours/unit) Department Product 1 Product 2 Hours Available A 1.00 0.35 95 B 0.30 0.20 36 C 0.20 0.50 50 Profit contribution/unit $30.00 $15.00 (a) Develop a linear programming model of the Hartman Company problem. Solve the model to determine the optimal production quantities of products 1 and 2. If required, round your answer to two decimal places. Product 1 Product 2 Production (b) In computing the profit contribution per unit, management does not deduct labor costs because they are considered fixed for the upcoming planning period. However, suppose that overtime can be scheduled in some of the departments. Which departments would you recommend scheduling for…

ABC Company is producing and selling Product X. Company management anticipates that a 70% learning curve will apply to the production of a new item. The cost of first item is $1,500 in materials. First item will take 500 labor hours. The cost per labor hour is $4 per hour. Variable overheads are 130% of labor costs. ABC Company has a profit mark-up for its products in amount of 20%. What is the cost of the third unit of Product X? O $3.238 $3,420 O $2.620 O $2.788

13. A manager is interested in improving productivity at a plant by changing the layout of the workstation. For each of 10 workers, she measures the time it takes to complete a task before the change and after the change. She calculates the following summary statistics for the sample difference: mean sample difference (between before and after) = 8.5 and sample standard deviation of the difference = 11.38. Assuming that the difference in time taken to complete the task is normally distributed, what is the critical value used to determine whether the mean difference (in task completion time) between before and after the change is not equal to zero at the 5% level of significance? Use our textbook statistical table to answer the question. a. ±2.2281 b. ±2.1009 c. ±2.2622 d. ±1.96

An analysis of a particular mixed cost indicates it will be an average of $0.65 per hour at an activity level of 18,000 hours and $11,700 in total at an activity level of 20,000 hours. Assuming that this activity is within the relevant range, what is the cost expected to total at an activity level of 16,000 hours
The president has read in industry journals that throughput time, MCE, and delivery cycle time are important measures of performance, but no one is sure how they are computed. You have been asked to assist the company, and you have gathered the following data relating to these measures: Average per Month (in days) 1 2 3 4 Wait time per order before start of production Inspection time per unit Process time per unit Queue time per unit Move time per unit 9.0 11.5 12.0 14.0 0.8 0.7 0.7 0.7 2.1 2.0 1.9 1.8 2.8 4.4 6.0 7.0 0.3 0.4 0.4 0.5 Required: 1-a. Compute the throughput time for each month. 1-b. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for each month. 1-c. Compute the delivery cycle time for each month. 3-a.
