Problem 1.9
Question Help ▼
Brown's, a local bakery, is worried about increased costs particularly energy. Last year's records can provide a fairly good estimate of the parameters for this year.
Wende Brown, the owner, does not believe things have changed much, but she did invest an additional $2,500 for modifications to the bakery's ovens to make them
more energy efficient. The modifications were supposed to make the ovens at least 20% more efficient. Brown has asked you to check the energy savings of the new
ovens and also to look over other measures of the bakery's productivity to see if the modifications were beneficial. You have the following data to work with:
Last Year

Production (dozen)
Labor (hours)
Capital Investment ($)
Energy (BTU)

Question 5The management of CDC Construction Pioneers have decided to build 900 new apartments in the Kasoa area due to the influx of immigrant workers into the country. Two Architectural Companies have provided building plans and technical schematics for the project. Management are happy with the proposals of both Standard apartment and Deluxe apartment. After investigating the steps involved in construction, management determined that each apartment complex built will require some resources. Management analysed each of the bids and concluded that if the plans of Standard apartment are built, it requires 0.7 days in foundation works, 0.5 days in the masonry, 1 day in finishing, and 0.1 days in painting works. Deluxe apartment will require 1 day in foundation works, 0.83 days in the masonry, 0.67 days in finishing, and 0.25 days in the painting works. Management estimate that, 630 days for foundation works, 600 days for masonry, 708 days for finishing and 135 days for 11painting works…
Question-1- Read the scenario and answer the question below. Use separate heading to answer each point. The maximum limit of words-count in each part is 300 words:
“When demand for future resources is expected to decrease, the company can start to plan ways to shed the capacity so that it will not be burdened with significant excess capacity in future quarters”.
Identify the strategy of capacity to be used by the company. State the reason to choose the strategy.
Explain the scenario in the context of Resource Planning. How this will be reflected in Annual Operations plan.
