- ABC made upgrades to the production process and achieved a 25% increase in production with less raw material. At the same time, however, an additional employee had to be hired. Under the old process, 5 employees could produce 60 pieces per hour at a cost of $16/piece of raw material. With the new process, the cost of the raw material has been reduced to $10 per piece. The direct labor cost is $12/hour per person and overhead is calculated at 1.6 times the direct labor cost. The finished products are sold at a price of $31 each. Calculate the increase in productivity that has occurred by improving the production process.Charles Lackey operates a bakery in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Because of its excellent product and excellent location, demand has increased by % in the last year. On far too many occasions, customers have not been able to purchase the bread of their choice. Because of the size of the store, no new ovens can be added. At a staff meeting, one employee suggested ways to load the ovens differently so that more loaves of bread can be baked at one time. This new process will require that the ovens be loaded by hand, requiring additional manpower. This is the only thing to be changed. The bakery currently makes loaves per month. The pay will be $ per hour for employees and each employee works 160 hours per month.Charles Lackey can also improve the yield by purchasing a new blender. The new blender will mean an increase in his investment. This new blender will mean an increase in his costs of $ per month, but he will achieve the same new output (an increase to ) as the change in labor…okey Min's Kleen Karpet cleaned 85 rugs in October, consuming the following resources: Labor: 520 hours at $17 per hour Solvent: 125 gallons at $8 per gallon Machine Rental: 24 days at $75 per day a) Labor productivity per dollar = nothing rugs/dollar (round your response to four decimal places) b) Multifactor productivity = Rugs/dollar (round your response to four decimal places)
- A process currently services an average of 42 customers per day. Observations in recent weeks show that its utilization is about 90 percent, allowing for just a 10 percent capacity cushion. If demand is expected to be 60 percent of the current level in five years and management wants to have a capacity cushion of just 4 percent, what capacity requirement should be planned? The needed capacity requirement is ____________________ customers per day. (Enter your response rounded up to the next whole number.)Creative Cabinets Inc., needs to choose a production method for its new office shelf, the Maxistand. To help accomplished this, the company has gathered the following production cost data: ANNUALIZED VARIABLE COSTS PER UNIT PROCESS TYPE FC LABOR MATERIAL ENERGY MASS CUSTOMIZATION $1,260,000 30 18 17 INTERMITTENT 1,000,000 34 16 20 REPETITIVE 1,425,000 28 20 15 CONTINUOUS 1,600,000 25 25 13 Creative Cabinets projects an annual demand of 18,000 units for the maxistand. The maxistand will sell for $195 per unit. What is the difference between the highest and lowest profit. Select one: a. P304k b. P744k c. P474k d. P299kcompany has introduced a process improvement that reduces processing time for each unit;output is increased by 40 percent with less material, but two additional workers are required.Under the old process, five workers could produce 1800 units per hour. Labor costs are $20/hour, and material input was previously $15/unit. For the new process, material is now $12/unit. *Overhead is charged at (1.4XLABOR COST + 500). *Finished units sell for $80 each. QUESTION: What increase in productivity is associated with the process improvement?
- A foundry produces circular utility access hatches (manhole covers). If 120 covers are produced in a 5-hour shift, the labor productivity of the line is: 120 covers/hour 12 covers/hour O 10 covers/hour 24 covers/hour. A process makes two products, A and B, and operates 5 days per week, 7 hours per day.Demand for the two products for the next week is as follows:Day 1: A: 3; B: 5Day 2: A: 2; B: 6Day 3: A: 4; B: 7Day 4: A: 2; B: 5Day 5: A: 3; B: 5What is the takt time of the process? What would a level production schedule look like?1. At syntecks, the output of a specific process is valued at $100 per unit. The cost of labor is $50 per hour including benefits. The accounting department provided the following information about the process for the past four weeks: week 1 week 2 week 3 week 4 units produced 1,124 1,310 1,092 981 labor ($) 12,735 14,842 10,603 9,526 materials ($) 21,041 24,523 20,442 18,364 overhead ($) 8,992 10,480 8,736 7,848 a. use the multifactor productivity ratio to see whether recent process improvements had any effect and, if so when the effect was noticeable b. has labor productivity changed? use the labor productivity ratio to support your answer
