- In 1926 Branky scott and his wife GV started a small company in India that pioneered the use of plastics in the manufacturing of marine products. Branky Manufacturing has evolved to produce thousands of products under the Branky Trademark which are sold into the fishing, marine, outdoor, and firefighting industries worldwide. To manage production costs, Branky is considering implementing a JIT production system. The following are the estimated costs and benefits of JIT production:- Annual additional tooling costs would be $400,000- Annual inventory would decline by 80 percent from the current level of $4,000,000- Insurance, material handling, and set-up costs which currently total $1,200,000 annually, would decline by 25%- Rework would be reduced by 30 percent. Branky currently incurs $800,000 in annual rework costs.Improved product quality under JIT production would enable Branky to raise the price of its products by $8 per unit. Scotty sells 80,000 units per year.- Branky required…arrow_forwardElliot & Hesse Inc. Manufactures ergonomic devices for computer users. Some of its more popular products include glare screens (for computer monitor), keyboard stands with wrist rests, and carousels that allow easy access to discs. Over the past 5 years, it experienced rapid growth, with sales of products increasing 20% to 50% each year. Last year, some of the primary manufacturers of computers began introducing new products with some of the ergonomic designs, such as glare screens and wrist rest, already built in. As a result, sales of Elliot & Hesse’s accessory devices have declined somewhat. The company believes that the disc carousels will probably continue to decline. When the next year’s budget was prepared, increases were built into research and development so that replacement products could be developed, or the company could expand into some other product line. Some Product lines being considered are general-purpose ergonomic devises including back supports, footrest,…arrow_forwardMonty Company manufactures automobile components for the worldwide market. The company has three large production facilities in Virginia, New Jersey, and California, which have been operating for many years. Brett Harker, vice president of production, believes it is time to upgrade operations by implementing computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) at one of the plants. Brett has asked corporate controller Connie Carson to gather information about the costs and benefits of implementing CIM. Carson has gathered the following data: Initial equipment cost $ 7,400,000 Working capital required at start-up $ 600,000 Salvage value of existing equipment $ 107,400 Annual operating cost savings $ 1,202,880 Salvage value of new equipment at end of its useful life $ 286,400 Working capital released at end of its useful life 2$ 600,000 Useful life of equipment 10 years Monty Company uses a 12% discount rate.arrow_forward
