Midtown Manufacturing Company makes trash cans and plastic buckets, both of which requires labor hours along with time on two machines. Producing a unit of trash cans requires 50 hours of labor, 5 hours on Machine A, and 10 hours on Machine B, while producing a unit of buckets requires 20 hours of labor, 8 hours on Machine A, and 2 hours on Machine B. The Company has available 2000 labor hours, 560 hours for Machine A, and 350 hours for Machine B. Each unit of trash cans brings in $20 in profit for the company and each unit of buckets brings in $3 in profit. Be sure to write out the system of inequalities expressing these conditions and graph the feasible region. Find the profit maximizing combinations of trash cans and buckets this company can and should produce.

- Manufacturers Inc. (MI) currently has a labor force of 10, which can produce 600 units per period. The labor cost is now $5000 per period per employee. The company has a long-standing rule that does not allow it to make use of any overtime. In addition, the product cannot be subcontracted, due to the specialized nature of the machinery that MI uses to produce it. As a result, MI can only increase/decrease production by hiring or laying off employees. The cost is $10000 to hire or lay off an employee. Inventory carrying costs are $200 per unit for any unsold items at the end of the period. The inventory level at the beginning of period 1 is 400 units. The forecast demand is 700 in period 1,600 in period 2,450 in period 3, 250 in period 4,500 in period 5, and 550 in period 6. a.) Compute the costs of the Chase Demand Strategy.Manufacturers Inc.

Those Packing departments feed to a Shipping department that loads the outgoing trucks. 40% of your Pick volume goes to Pack Singles and has a packing rate of 104 units per labor hour (uph). 60% of the Pick volume goes to Pack Multis and has a pack rate of 215 units per labor hour. Your pickers pick both Single and Multi items throughout the day at an overall average rate of 114 units per labor hour. All units that are packed in both processes go through the Ship process at a rate of 570 units per hour.

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…A company manufactures clay bricks in batches. A batch consists of 200 bricks. The manager reports that his weekly production target is 1500 bricks. Each brick has to be processed through 5 machines on average. It takes on average 30 minutes to set up the machines and the average operation time is 6 minutes. There are 10 machines in the plant. Calculate the manufacturing lead time if the average non-operation time is 2 hrs. Calculate the production rate and If the plant operates 70 hours per week, calculate the production capacity Calculate the Production Capacity if the machines are only available for 85% of the time. Will the manager be able to meet his production target? Justify your answer.
- SkyChefs, Inc., prepares in-flight meals for a number of major airlines. One of the company's products is grilled salmon with new potatoes and mixed vegetables. During the most recent week, the company prepared 4,000 of these meals using 960 direct labor- hours. The company paid its direct labor workers a total of $19,200 for this work, or $20.00 per hour. According to the standard cost card for this meal, it should require 0.25 direct labor-hours at a cost of $19.75 per hour. Required: 1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to prepare 4,000 meals? 2. What is the standard labor cost allowed (SH x SR) to prepare 4,000 meals? 3. What is the labor spending variance? 4. What is the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance? (For requirements 3 and 4, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.) 1.…A recurring maintenance job in a factory is being done by a three-man crew. Due to the nature of the job and space limitations, it was observed that two of the men were idle 37% of the time; one of the men was also idle an additional of the time, and at any given time only one man was required. The men were each paid P24.00 per hour. Each time the job was performed a set of tools and equipment with a value equivalent to P36.00 per hour was used. If the three-men crew could complete the work in 5 hours, which crew size would be the most economicalAs an analyst, we would like to perform a work sampling study on an assembly line. The jobs can bedifferentiated on the basis of the product size: A, B, and C. We perform a study over a five-week periodthat equals to 200 working hours. There are 12 workers to be examined. In total, we perform 1140observations. Yet, the worker absences lead to 15 worker-day deduction from the total working hourswhere workers work 8 hour each day. The study results are tabulated below.
