The polypropylene production facility is currently forced tooperate at less than capacity due to an insufficiencyof propylene production capacity in its hydrocarboncracking facility. The chemical engineers are considering alternatives for supplying additional propyleneto the polypropylene production facility. Two feasiblealternatives are to build a pipeline to the nearest outside supply source and to provide additional propylene by truck from an outside source. The engineersalso gathered the following projected cost estimates.• Future costs for purchased propylene excludingdelivery: $0.215 per lb.• Cost of pipeline construction: $200,000 per pipeline mile.• Estimated length of pipeline: 180 miles.• Transportation costs by tank truck: $0.05 per lb,utilizing a common carrier.• Pipeline operating…arrow_forwardMyers Inc. manufactures biodegradable bottles. Since this is a patented method of producing environmentally-friendly plastic, they cannot use an overseas contractor. They will make the products in the United States. What criteria would you use to assess their business model? O The production expertise scale will tell if the company is ready to partake in such a venture. O The fixed costs need to be compared to other similar companies in the U.S. The standardization of the product is making it more expensive to produce, as the copyrights are implemented. O Since the product will be outsourced, the manager needs to assess the simplicity of the supply chain. Even though the manufacturing costs are high, the transportation costs will be low. O The minimum efficient scale will tell the minimum volume they need to produce to reach economies of scale. The quality of the in-house product needs to be constantly inspected, as they will not use outside sourcing.arrow_forwardA plastic-manufacturing company owns and operates a polypropylene-production facility that converts the propylene from one of its cracking facilities to polypropylene plastics for outside sale.
