IE
Carol Cagle has a repetitive manufacturing plant producing trailer hitches in Arlington, Texas. The plant has an average inventory tumover of only 12 times per year. He has therefore determined that
he will reduce his component lot sizes. He has developed the following data for one component, the safety chain clip
Setup labor cost
Annual holding cost
Daily production
Annual demand
Desired lot size
To obtain the desired lot size, the set-up time that should be achieved
$25 per hour
$13 per unit
992 units/8 hour day
33.000 (275 days each daily demand of 120 units)
124 units (one hour of production)
minutes pound your response to two decimal places)

(Display your answer to the nearest whole number). HINT: When using the break-even point derived in the previous question, be sure to NOT use it as a rounded number. Instead, be sure to include the exact break-even point, including any digits after the decimal, in order to get the correct total cost. If necessary, use direct cell referencing to ensure the correct break-even point is used. 9455 For a volume that is 5 units greater than the break-even point (derived in the previous two questions), which process option would be best?

- In a large microelectronics plant, the assembly cell for circuitboards has a demand for 200 units an hour. Two feeder cellssupply parts A and B to the assembly cell (one A and one Bfor each board). Standard containers that look like dividedtrays are used. A container will hold 20 As or 10 Bs. It takes10 minutes to fill up a container with As and 20 minutes tofill up a container with Bs. Transit time to the assembly cell is5 minutes for both A and B. No safety factor is used. Set up akanban control system for the assembly process.arrow_forwardA new highway is to be constructed. Design A calls for a concrete pavement costing $80 per foot with a 20-year life; four paved ditches costing $3 per foot each; and two box culverts every mile, each costing $9,000 and having a 20-year life. Annual maintenance will cost $1,800 per mile; the culverts must be cleaned every five years at a cost of $350 each per mile. Design B calls for a bituminous pavement costing $55 per foot with a 10-year life; three sodded ditches costing $1.45 per foot each; and four pipe culverts every mile, each costing $2,100 and having a 10-year life. The replacement culverts will cost $2,350 each. Annual maintenance will cost $2,900 per mile; the culverts must be cleaned yearly at a cost of $215 each per mile; and the annual ditch maintenance will cost $1.35 per foot per ditch.

- The Goodparts Company produces a component that is subsequently used in the aerospace industry. The component consists of three parts (A, B, and C) that are purchased from outside and cost 35, 30, and 10 cents per piece, respectively. Parts A and B are assembled first on assembly line 1, which produces 185 components per hour. Part C undergoes a drilling operation before being finally assembled with the output from assembly line 1. There are, in total, six drilling machines, but at present only three of them are operational. Each drilling machine drills part C at a rate of 80 parts per hour. In the final assembly, the output from assembly line 1 is assembled with the drilled part C. The final assembly line produces at a rate of 205 components per hour. At present, components are produced eight hours a day and five days a week. Management believes that if the need arises, it can add a second shift of eight hours for the assembly lines. The cost of assembly labor is 30 cents per part for…arrow_forward601 Ana Chavarria, front office manager at The Times Hotel, has completed a revenue management semi- nar at Keystone University and is preparing an argu- ment in favor of adopting this concept at The Times Hotel to present to Margaret Chu, the general man- ager. She begins by compiling a history of room occupancy and ADRS, which she hopes will reveal areas in which revenue management could help. She prepares an electronic spreadsheet that lists rooms sold with corresponding room rates and correlates the data to tourism activities in the area. Ana sends an analysis of revenue realized and revenue potential to Ms. Chu for review prior to their discussion After reviewing the analysis, Ms. Chu concludes, "This is just another scam; the industry is slow to adopt this," and disregards the entire report. She knows that occupancy percentage, ADR, and RevPAR are all you need to be efficient today, so why change?
