LMNO Gaskets has formulated a production plan for a product to meet demand over the upcoming four quarters. Demand in each of the four quarters and production, overtime, and subcontracting capacities are
reported in the table below, in addition to the feasible production plan. The relevant costs are:
• Regular time production cost is $10/unit.
Overtime production cost is $14/unit.
Subcontracting cost is $18/unit
Inventory is held at a cost of $1/unit/quarter.
• Units may be backordered at a cost of $4/unit/quarter.

- Fedori Corporation has a Parts Division that does work for other Divisions in the company as well as for outside customers. The company's Machinery Division has asked the Parts Division to provide it with 4,000 special parts each year. The special parts would require P23.00 per unit in variable production costs. The Machinery Division has a bid from an outside supplier for the special parts at P37.00 per unit. In order to have time and space to produce the special part, the Parts Division would have to cut back production of another part-the YR24 that it presently is producing. The YR24 sells for P40.00 per unit, and requires P28.00 per unit in variable production costs. Packaging and shipping costs of the YR24 are P3.00 per unit. Packaging and shipping costs for the new special part would be only P1.50 per unit. The Parts Division is now producing and selling 15,000 units of the YR24 each year.

Currently, decisions are made using the traditional method, which is to accept as much of the highest contribution margin product as possible (up to the limit of its demand), followed by the next highest contribution margin product, and so on until all available capacity is utilized. Because the firm cannot satisfy all the demand, the product mix must be chosen carefully. Jay Perry, the newly promoted production supervisor, is knowledgeable about the TOC and the bottleneck-based method for scheduling. He believes that profitability can indeed be improved if bottleneck resourcesare exploited to determine the product mix. What is the change in profits if, instead of the traditional method that YPI has used thus far, the bottleneck method advocated by Jay is used for selecting the product mix?arrow_forward
- Develop a production plan and calculate the annual cost for a firm whose demand forecast is fall, 10,000; winter, 8,000; spring, 7,000; summer, 12,000. Inventory at the beginning of fall is 500 units. At the beginning of fall, you currently have 30 workers, but you plan to hire temporary workers at the beginning of summer and lay them off at the end of summer. In addition,you have negotiated with the union an option to use the regular workforce on overtime during winter or spring if overtime is necessary to prevent stock-outs at the end of those quarters. Overtime is not available during the fall. Relevant costs are hiring, $100 for each temp; layoff, $200 for each worker laid off; inventory holding, $5 per unit-quarter; backorder, $10 per unit; straight time, $5 per hour; over time, $8 per hour.
