- SITUATION: A company is about to begin production of a new product. The manager of the department that will produce one of the components for the product wants to know how often the machine used to produce the item will be available for other work. The machine will produce the item at a rate of 200 units a day. Eighty units will be used daily in assembling the final product. Assembly will take place five days a week, 50 weeks a year. The manager estimates that it will take almost a full day to get the machine ready for a production run, at the cost of $300. Inventory holding costs will be $10 a year. QUESTION: Suppose the manager decides to increase the run size of the new product. How many additional units would be needed just to accommodate the other job? How much will that increase the total annual cost?arrow_forwardNonrepetitive Processing: Process Layoutsarrow_forwardA company is preparing a bid on a government contract for 40 units of a certain product.

- Bill of material (BOM) details all the sub-component, material, and parts used to make one product. There is a dinner party at your home of a few guests, and you are managing your kitchen. Develop a BOM of any main dish (main course) of your own choice in a tree format.

Knowing that they provide customer service training for flight attendants, they could probably customize it for their bus drivers, conductors, and employees. This would be a nationwide project and that meant all 700 employees needed to be trained on a per batch basis. Doing her computations, Ms. Janice asked Ms. Marie if they could actuall pull it off. Ms. Marie naturally said they could but they don’t have enough personnel with them and they wouldn’t be able to finish the project in one year if she would rely only on herself as the main trainer. In doing so, she would have to abandon her duties as a training manager of FLIGHT, Inc. She would need more trainers, but where could she get them? They asked Prof if he still runs his HR consulting firm and if he can certify trainers. He said yes and so he conducted a workshop…arrow_forwardPILIPINAS LINERS, a major bus company in the Philippines would need workshops on customer service and so their HR Manager, Ms. Ruth placed a call to Janice’s phone.
