The cost of an electrode position control system in an electric arc furnace was $16,000 when the applicable equipment cost index had a value of 1,192. If the current index value is 1,364 and the exponent in the cost-capacity equation has a value of 0.65, the estimated cost now of a similar system twice as large is
As a manager have been asked to estimate the total cost of producing
40 engines in your company. Current engines have an output of 135-hp
per engine. 7 years ago, a similar 180-hp engine cost was 4450 KD.
Beside that due to extreme competition in the industry, the cost of an
engine has decreased with 9% only for 3 intervals of time throughout
this period. Total cost consists of engine cost, direct labor cost and
other labor-related costs. Pertinent data are as follows:
Direct labor cost per hour
20 KD per hour
Factory overhead
150% of direct labor
Packing costs
80% of direct labor
Maintenance costs
10% of engine cost
Cost-capacity factor
0.75
Past experience has shown that an 85% learning curve applies to the
labor required producing these engines. Maintenance cost will be paid
only once at the beginning of the second year. Use the estimated time
to complete the 40th engine for the purpose of estimating the direct
labor cost. The time to complete the first engine has been estimated to…
Sally Statistics is implementing a system of statistical process control (SPC) charts in her factory in an effort to reduce the overall cost of scrapped product. The current cost of scrap is $X per month. If a 75% learning curve is expected in the use of the SPC charts to reduce the cost of scrap, what would the percentage reduction in monthly scrap cost be after the charts have been used for 6 months? (Hint: Model each month as a unit of production.)
