Lead Time Gourmet Helper Appliance Company manufactures home kitchen appliances. The manufacturing process includes stamping, final assembly, testing and shipping. In the stamping operation, a number of individuals are responsible for stamping the steel outer surface of the appliance. The stamping operation is set up prior to each run. A run of 75 stamping is completed after each setup. A setup requires 40 minutes the parts wait for the setup to be completed before stamping begins. Each stamping requires 5 minutes of operating time. After each batch is completed, the operator moves stamp the stamped covers to the final assembly area. This move takes 10 minutes to complete. The final assembly for each appliance unit requires 18 minutes and is also done in batches of 75 appliance units. The batch of 75 appliance units is moved into the test building, which is crossed street. The move takes 25 minutes. In the final test, the 75 unit batch is tested one at a time. Each test…
Motorking Corporation, a market leader in the production of specialized engine additives, is considering introducing a new "gas extender" product. This product is added to an automobile’s gasoline to extend mileage and reduce exhasut emissions. Motorking's manufacturing facility can produce 50,000 cases of the new product per year with a set-up cost of $100,000. The average variable cost per case would be $5. Large orders, (i.e., above 50,000 cases) will be subcontracted to a local refining company. Motorking has signed a secrecy agreement with the vendor that guards the basic process. The variable cost per case, if the new product is produced outside, is $9. Whether the product is manufactured by Motorking or by the vendor, there is a $12 per case cost for marketing and overhead. Motorking's production manager is considering three production levels for the new product: 50,000 cases, 75,000 cases, and 100,000 cases. The level of sales will depend on the state of the economy.

The Abco Company manufactures electrical assemblies. The current process uses 10 workers and produces 200 units per hour. You are considering changing the process with new assembly methods that increase output to 300 units per hour, but will require 14 workers. Particulars are as follows: CURRENT PROCESS NEW PROCESS OUTPUT (UNITS / HOUR) NUMBER OF WORKERS MATERIAL COST/HOUR 200 300 10 14 $120 $150 Workers are paid at a rate of $10 per hour, and overhead is charged at 140% (or 1.4 times) labor costs. Finished switches sell for $20 / unit. Use the information provided in Table 1.2. What is the multifactor productivity of the current process? A) less than or equal to 8.0 B) greater than 8.0 but less than or equal to 10.0 C) greater than 10.0 but less than or equal to 12.0 D) greater than 12.0 I. Use the information provided in Table 1.2.

. Aquatica makes underwater camera housings for divers. The process begins with a solid rectangular block of aluminum that is used to make a single housing. A computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine drills into the block to make the metal “frame” of the housing. Each block requires 15 minutes of drilling. The frame is then chemically treated in a series of baths. There is ample capacity in the treating stage. Finally, a worker must manually attach the various buttons and components to the metal housing. This assembly takes 120 minutes per housing per worker and Aquatica has 6 workers trained to do this task. The CNC machine requires a 30-minute setup time before the production of a batch can begin. a. If the CNC machine produces 14 housings between setups, what would be its capacity (in housings per hour)? b. Assuming the process is supply-constrained, what is the utilization (as a number between 0 and 1) of the CNC machine if it operates in batches of 14 housings? c. Assuming…
The Goodparts Company produces a component that is subsequently used in the aerospace industry. The component consists of three parts (A, B, and C) that are purchased from outside and cost 35, 30, and 10 cents per piece, respectively. Parts A and B are assembled first on assembly line 1, which produces 185 components per hour. Part C undergoes a drilling operation before being finally assembled with the output from assembly line 1. There are, in total, six drilling machines, but at present only three of them are operational. Each drilling machine drills part C at a rate of 80 parts per hour. In the final assembly, the output from assembly line 1 is assembled with the drilled part C. The final assembly line produces at a rate of 205 components per hour. At present, components are produced eight hours a day and five days a week. Management believes that if the need arises, it can add a second shift of eight hours for the assembly lines. The cost of assembly labor is 30 cents per part for…
A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased somenew equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts.Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used five workers, who produced an average of80 carts per hour. Workers receive $10 per hour, and machine cost was $40 per hour. With the newequipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment costincreased by $10 per hour while output increased by four carts per hour.a. Compute labor productivity under each system. Use carts per worker per hour as the measure oflabor productivity.

A Company produces a component for use in the aerospace industry. The component consists of three parts (A, B and C), which are purchased externally and cost 50c, 60c and 70c per piece respectively. Parts A and B are assembled first on assembly line 1, which produces 150 components per hour. Part C undergoes a drilling operation before being finally assembled with the output from assembly line 1. There are six drilling machines in total, but only three are currently operational. Each drilling machine drills part C at a rate of 30 parts per hour. The final assembly line has a production capacity of 100 components per hour. At present, components are produced eight hours a day, five days a week. If the need arises, management can add a second shift of eight hours for the assembly lines only. The cost of assembly labour is 40c per assembly operation for each assembly line; the cost of drilling labour is 20c per part. For drilling, the cost of electricity is 10c per part. The overhead cost…
