to the original three machines. Which plan will provide the higher reliability? Show your work. A production line has three machines A, B, and C, with reliabilities of 0.99, 0.96, and 0.93, for each plan. In either case, three machines (A, B, and C) would be used with reliabilities equal backup line, and Plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. See the diagram below two alternative designs for increasing the line's reliability. Plan 1 involves adding an identical shut down, i.e., the production line stops until it is fixed. The manager of the system is weighing respectively. The machines are arranged so that if any one machine breaks down, the others must shut down, i.e., the production line stops until it is fixed. The manager of the system is weighing (Plan 1) Мach A Mach B Мach C 99 96 93 96 93 -- 99 -- (Plan 2) Mach A Mach B Mach C 96 93 TIF) 99 99 96 93

The final stage on a production line for a repairableproduct comprises an old final test station withaccompanying analysis and repair stations.First Time Yield (FTY) is 0.720.Sketch a flow diagram with all dpu levels shown.

Lincoln Electric Inc. has a direct manufacturing cost of $147/welding unit and defective units can be reworked for $46/unit. Of the 343 units that begin production per day, 89% are good and 60% of defective motors can be reworked. What is the yield?

K California Gardens, Inc., prewashes, shreds, and distributes a variety of salad mixes in 2-pound bags. Doug Voss, Operations VP, is considering a new Hi-Speed shredder to replace the old machine, referred to in the shop as "Clunker." Hi-Speed will have a fixed cost of $89,000 per month and a variable cost of $1.30 per bag. Clunker has a fixed cost of only $32,000 per month, but a variable cost of $1.70. Selling price is $2.60 per bag. a) What is the crossover point in units (point of indifference) for the processes? The crossover point is units. (Round your response to the nearest whole number.) b) What is the monthly profit or loss if the company changes to the Hi-Speed shredder and sells 120,000 bags per month? The monthly profit or loss if the company changes to the Hi-Speed shredder and sells 120,000 bags per month is $. (Round your response to the nearest dollar and include a minus sign if necessarv.)
