Meritor, a company that makes muffler assemblies for the automotive industry, is committed to the use of kanban to pull material through its manufacturing cells. Meritor has designed each cell to fabricate a specific family of muffler products. Fabricating a muffler assembly involves cutting and bending pieces of pipe that are welded to a muffler and a catalytic converter. The mufflers and catalytic converters are pulled into the cell based on current demand. The catalytic converters are made in a specialized cell. Catalytic converters are made in batches of 15 units and are moved in special hand carts to the fabrication cells. The catalytic converter cell is designed so that different types of catalytic converters can be made with virtually no setup loss. Meritor hires a team of consultants. The consultants suggest a partial robotic automation, as well as an increase in safety stock to 8.5 percent. Meritor implements these suggestions. The result is an increase in…

- The production schedule at Mazda calls for 1,200 Mazdas to be produced during each of 22 production days in January and 900 Mazdas to be produced during each of 20 production days in February. Mazda uses a kanban system to communicate with Gesundheit, a nearby supplier of tires. Mazda purchases four tires per vehicle from Gesundheit. The safety stock policy variable, α, is 0.15. The container (a delivery truck) size is 200 tires. The average waiting time plus materials handling time is 0.16 day per container. Assembly lines are rebalanced at the beginning of each month. The average processing time per container in January is 0.10 day. February processing time will average 0.125 day per container. How many containers should be authorized for January?How many for February?The number of pizzas ordered on Friday evenings between 5:30 and 6:30 at a pizza delivery location for the last 10 weeks is shown below. 78, 46, 55, 39, 42, 63, 54, 55, 61, 52 What is the MAPE using naïve method? 84.12 67.75 O 29.34 O 23.675. Meg Jones, the CEO of Ajax Computer Company, and Brad Smith, its Director of Operations, had been discussing how to increase the firm’s production of the company’s flagship XR58. The XR58 was particularly important because it sold 12,500 of them in the most recent year for $950, at a gross margin of 55%. After a lot of discussion, they decided to pursue an incentive system designed to increase production by 12% in the next year. After Brad discussed this possible incentive with the production team, the team determined that it could increase production by this amount without adding any more people or equipment. They believed they could accomplish this improvement primarily through process redesign. To incent them to do the hard work of process improvement, Brad told the team that it would receive 25% of the increased profits if it met the new production goal. For this team of 20 people, this would mean an additional compensation of _________ for each team member, on average, for…
