Why are the engineers required to consider strictly all major cost elements while selecting the equipment?

The cost elements mainly for any equipments for a project can be fixed cost, variable cost and various other costs like labour costs, operating costs.
Fixed cost:This cost remains fixed irrespective of volume of production It includes cost of machines ,rent of buildings ,salary of employees, setup costs of equipments.
Variable cost: This cost increases proportionally or directly with volume of production and it includes running costs, direct labour costs(all types of costs while production is going on).
All these costs are necessary to analyse any production process and a very famous tool known as Break even analysis is used by the production manager to analyse the potential profit or loss possible in future.

- Kilmer Company's customer demand for its only product exceeds its manufacturing capacity. The company provided the following information for the machine whose limited capacity is prohibiting the company from producing and selling additional units: Actual run time this week Machine time available per week Actual run rate this week Ideal run rate Defect-free output this week Total output this week (including defects) 1-a. Utilization rate 1-b. Efficiency rate. 1-c. Quality rate 1-d. Overall equipment effectiveness 7,500 minutes 12,500 minutes 2-a. Utilization loss in units 2-b. Efficiency loss in units 2-c. Quality loss in units 6.30 units per minute 7 units per minute Required: 1. and 2. With respect to the company's overall equipment effectiveness, calculate the following: Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answers to 2 decimal places and "Units" answers to the nearest whole number. 37,800 units 47,250 unitsarrow_forwardQ1arrow_forward
