Question
Kelly-Lambing, Inc., a builder of government contracted small ships, has a steady work force of 10
very skilled craftspeople. These workers can supply 2,500 labor-hours each per year. Kelly-Lambing is
about to undertake a new contract, building a new style of boat. The first boat is expected to take 6,200
hours to complete. The firm thinks that 80% is the expected learning rate. What is the firm's "capacity" to
make these boats-that is, how many units can the firm make in 1 year? If the operations manager can
increase the learning rate to 75% instead of 80%, how many units can the firm make? (Round all
numerical responses in this exercise to the nearest whole number.)
