For the past year, the firm has been under contract with Simkin and Sons for daily preventive maintenance (lubrication, cleaning, inspection, and so on). Simkin's crew works between 11 P.M. and 2 A.M. so as not to interfere with the daily manufacturing crew. Simkin charges $645 per week for this service. Since signing the maintenance contract, Wharton Manufacturing has noted an average of only three breakdowns per week. When a grinding or lathe machine does break down during a working shift, it costs Wharton about $250 in lost production and repair costs. After reviewing past breakdown records (for the period before signing a preventive maintenance contract with Simkin and Sons), Wharton's production manager was able to summarize the following patterns: 1…arrow_forward
