Out of a stock of three electronic components A,B and C given as 200, 120 and 150 respectively, it is required to produce two types of circuits. Circuit type l requires 20 resistors,10 transistors and 10 capacitors, while printed circuit type ll requires 10 resistors, 20 transistors and 30 capacitors. If a type l circuit sells at Gh.5 cedis each and type ll circuit at Gh.12 cedis each. (i)Formulate the linear Programming problem to get the maximum Financial returns.

A manufacturer of Blu-ray Discs (BDs) estimates the yearly demand for a BD to be 10,000. It costs $400 to set up the machinery to burn the BDs, plus $3 for each one produced. If it costs the company $2 to store a BD for a year, how many should be burned at a time and how many production runs will be needed to minimize costs? BDs burned at a time production runs
A manufacturer has a production facility that requires 10,237 units of component JY21 per year. Following a long-term contract, the manufacturer purchases component JY21 from a supplier with a lead time of 6 days. The unit purchase cost is $31.4 per unit. The cost to place and process an order from the supplier is $168 per order. The unit inventory carrying cost per year is 12.2 percent of the unit purchase cost. The manufacturer operates 250 days a year. Assume EOQ model is appropriate. If the manufacturer uses a constant order quantity of 1,053 units per order, what is the annual holding cost? Use at least 4 decimal places.

Eastman Publishing Company is considering publishing an electronic textbook about spreadsheet applications for business. The fixed cost of manuscript preparation, textbook design, and web-site construction is estimated to be $170,000. Variable processing costs are estimated to be $6 per book. The publisher plans to sell single-user access to the book for $52. (a) Build a spreadsheet model in Excel to calculate the profit/loss for a given demand. What profit can be anticipated with a demand of 3,600 copies? For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign. -378,800 (b) Use a data table to vary demand from 1,000 to 6,000 in increments of 200 to test the sensitivity of profit to demand. Breakeven occurs where profit goes from a negative to a positive value, that is, breakeven is where total revenue = total cost yielding a profit of zero. In which interval of demand does breakeven occur? (1) Breakeven appears in the interval of 3,200 to 3,400 copies. (ii) Breakeven appears in the…

The Westerville Auto Parts Company produces rocker-arm assemblies for use in the steering and suspen-sion systems of four-wheel-drive trucks. A typical container of parts spends 0.02 day in processing and0.08 day in materials handling and waiting during its manufacturing cycle. The daily demand for the part is2,000 units. Management believes that demand for the rocker-arm assembly is uncertain enough to war-rant a safety stock equivalent of 10 percent of its authorized inventory.a. If each container contains 22 parts, how many containers should be authorized?b. Suppose that a proposal to revise the plant layout would cut materials handling and waiting time percontainer to 0.06 day. How many containers would be needed?
You are the president of XYZ Manufacturing company. You have recently learned about the following issue: A month ago, the company’s general manager (GM) told one of the line managers to produce an extra 15,000 units of a product so that there would be inventory in stock for the next time the item is ordered. Last week, the GM scolded the line manager for having 15,000 units of the item in stock. The GM told the line manager that producing excess inventory costs the company money and should never be done. The GM then puts the line manager on a performance plan. This is not the first time you have heard about the GM telling an employee to do one thing only to criticize him or her for doing it later. This employee feels very frustrated by this, but does not want to make a formal complaint because she has seen other employees lose their jobs or get demoted for questioning the GM. Create an outline that proposes a leadership solution to this issue. The outline should address the following:…

A retailer is considering two possible definitions of “in stock”:I. A product is in stock if it has at least one unit on hand at the end of the day.II. A product is in stock if it has satisfied all demand during a day.For a fixed order-up-to level, which definition yields the higher in-stock probability? a. Definition I because if one unit is on hand, then all demand must have been satisfied.b. Definition II because the firm is more likely to satisfy all demand than to end theday with one unit on hand.c. Definition II because if all demand is satisfied, then there must be some inventory left over.d. Either one is possible because it will depend on the particular order-up-to policychosen, the distribution function of demand, and the lead time
