- Illustrate how the artificial-variable technique deals with functional constraints?arrow_forwardYou have developed the following simple product structure of items needed for your gift bag for a rush party for prospective pledges in your organization. You forecast 200 attendees. Assume that there is no inventory on hand of any of the items. Explode the bill of material. (Subscripts indicate the number of units required.) A product structure with J in the top rectangle. A vertical line comes down from rectangle J that touches a horizonal line that spans the distance below rectangle J. That line has two vertical lines that drop down off of either of its ends. On the left vertical line, there is a rectangle labeled K subscript (1). Below that rectangle is another rectangle labeled L subscript (5). On the right vertical line is a rectangle labeled M subscript (3).

Traditionally, BPC has utilized a method whereby decisions are made to produce as much of the product with the highest contribution margin as possible (up to the limit of its demand), followed by the next highest contribution margin product, and so on until no more capacity is available. Because capacity is limited, choosing the proper product mix is crucial. Ali Ahmed, the newly hired production supervisor, is an avid follower of the theory of constraints philosophy and the bottleneck method for scheduling. He believes that profitability can indeed be approved if bottleneck resources are exploited to determine the product mix. What is the profit if the traditional contribution margin method is used for determining BPC’s product mix?arrow_forward
- College chums Hannah Baltzan and Tyler Phillips are working on opening a third espressodrive-through stand in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, called Brewed Awakening. Their originaldrive-through stand, Jitters, and their second espresso stand, Bean Scene, have done wellin their current locations in Englewood, Colorado, five miles away. Since Hannah and Tylerwant to start with low overhead, they need assistance analyzing the data from the past yearon the different types of coffee and the amounts that they sold from both stands. Hannah andTyler would like a recommendation of the four top sellers to start offering when BrewedAwakening opens. They have provided you with the data file T3_JittersCoffee_Data.xls foryou to perform the analysis that will support your recommendation.

Thank you!arrow_forwardYost-Perry Industries’ (YPI) senior management team wants to improve the profitability of the firm by accepting the right set of orders. 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
- For the four basic configurations that follow, assume that the market is demanding product that must be processed by both Resource X and Resource Y for Cases I, II, and III. For Case IV, both resources supply separate but dependent markets; that is, the number of units of output from both X and Y must be equal. Plans are being made to produce a product that requires 40 minutes on Resource X and 30 minutes on Resource Y. Assume that there is only one of each of these resources and that market demand is 1,500 units per month. The only one I got right was B Case I :(arrow_forwardThe assembly department started the month with 468,000 units in its beginning work in process inventory. An additional 1,524,000 units were transferred in from the prior department during the month to begin processing in the Assembly Department. There were 126,000 units in the ending work in process inventory of the Assembly Department.
