- QUESTION 6 (MAINTENANCE AND RELIABILITY: COMPARING PREVENTIVE AND BREAKDOWN MAINTENANCE COSTS) 17.24 Wharton Manufacturing Company operates its 23 large and expensive grinding and lathe machines from 7 A.M. to 11 P.M., 7 days a week. 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_forwardQUESTION 15 Tradeoff analysis on different design concepts are performed and the data obtained are shown in Table Q15.1. The manufacturing cost of the design concept has been estimated and the reliability score of each design concepts has been ranked on a scale of 1-5. In both cases, low scores are considered good. The customer has agreed weighting factors of 55% for reliability and 45% for manufacturing cost.

When the Covid-19 pandemic broke out at the beginning of last year, many countries implemented national lockdowns and halted production, disrupting economic growth. The number of cargo ships dispatched started to decline. This hampered not only the normal flow of commodities imported and exported but also the collection of empty containers. As a result, there has been a container shortage since 2020. 1.1 Evaluate the impact of the container shortage and what role freight forwarders play? 1.2 Discuss what activities a freight forwarder can help with in this case? 1.3 Differentiate which activities will be contacted by a traditional freight forwarder and which will fall within a 3PL scope?arrow_forward
