You are asked to help your boss deciding who is considering whether to make or buy a part fora top most demanding product of the company.Your company can make the component for $40 per unit or buy it for $50 per unit from vendor.If the Company decides to make the component, it will require 4 hours of machine time tomake each part. The company has 2,000 hours of machine time available per month. Shouldthe company make or buy the component? How many max parts company can make?________________________________________________________________
Three methods can be used for producing heat sensors for high-temperature furnaces. Method A will have a fixed cost of $140,000 per year and a production cost of $62 per part. Method B will have a fixed cost of $210,000 per year and a production cost of $28 per part. Method C will require the purchase of equipment costing $500,000. It will have a life of five years and a 25% of first cost salvage value. The production cost will be $53 per part. At an interest rate of 10% per year, determine the breakeven annual production rate between the two lowest cost methods.
There is an upstream Picking department that feeds two downstream
Packing departments: Pack Singles and Pack Multis. 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. You have 102 people today for all 4 departments and you absolutely must pack 47,880 units in Pack Multis Items to meet a customer promise metric. How do you allocate labor to balance the flow in your department if you work a 10 hour shift? Do not assume breaks or lunches in your answer. Redirect 1: You now need to process all of the Pack Singles Volume in the first 5…

- An airline company has been contracting a maintenance company to do overhauls for its planes at a cost of $51275 per plane per quarter. The airline company estimates that by building a $1461838 maintenance facility with a life of 5 years and a residual market value of $770217 at the end of its life, they could handle their own overhaul at a cost of only $42020 per plane per quarter. What is the minimum number of planes they must operate to make it just profitable to build this facility?

Product XB has a sales potential in the market; hence, some of it can be sold at the end of Stage 2, and the remaining can be moved to Stage 3. The third stage produces Product XC, and then delivers it to customers. Two units of Product XA produced in Stage 1 are required for each unit of Product XB in Stage 2. In addition, four units of Product XB produced in Stage 2 are required for each unit of Product XC in Stage 3. Stage 1 can only use regular time; however, Stage 2 has the options of using regular time and overtime in manufacturing. On the other hand, Stage 3 has only one alternative, which is subcontracting.

(DCI), manufactures two models of a radar gun used by police to monitor the speed of automobiles. Model A has an accuracy of plus or minus 1 mile per hour, whereas the smaller model B has an accuracy of plus or minus miles per hour. For the next week, the company has orders for 100 units of model A and 150 units of model B. Although DCI purchases all the electronic components used in both models, the plastic cases for both models are manufactured at a DCI plant in Newark, New Jersey. Each model A case requires 4 minutes of injection-molding time and 6 minutes of assembly time. Each model B case requires 3 minutes of injection-molding time and 8 minutes of assembly time. For next week, the Newark plant has 600 minutes of injection-molding time available and 1,080 minutes of assembly time available.
