#4- The mean number of air conditioning units assembled per month by Freeze, Inc. is 750 and the standard deviation is 100 units. a. If the number of air conditioning units assembled per month follows a normal distribution, calculate the probability of Freeze, Inc to assemble a quantity of air conditioning units greater than the monthly break-even point calculated in problem 3-a. b. An improved assembling process is proposed to Freeze, Inc. to reduce the variable cost from $500 per unit to $400 per unit., increase the mean number of air conditioning units assembled per month from 750 to 850 and reduce the standard deviation to 90 units. As a result of the improvements, monthly fixed costs would go up from $250,000 to $300,000. Once these improvements are implemented, calculate the new number of air conditioning units that Freeze Inc. must sell every month to break-even, discuss and justify if you would recommend the process improvement initiative. c. If the number of air conditioning…

T,F. Performance Measurement is complex because not all indices are definable and therefore are measurable.

8. A process is designed to produce 2,000 units per hour. The process has a scrap rate of 2 percent and an 8 percent inherent inefficiency. Assuming that the actual output of the process is 1,750 units per hour, what are the process design capacity, available capacity, actual capacity, capacity utilization, efficiency, and output gap for this process?

Q5) Manufacturing overhead costs are easy to trace and can be ignored while calculating total costs. Select one: True False

The Dubuque Cement Company packs​ 80-pound bags of concrete mix.​ Time-study data for the filling activity are shown in the following table.

A bicycle component manufacturer produces hubs for bike wheels. Two processes are possible for manufacturing, and the parameters of each process are as follows: Process 1 Production rate Daily production time Process 2 35 parts/hour 4 hours/day 20% 15 parts/hour 7 hours/day 9% Percent parts rejected Assume that the daily demand for hubs allows all defect-free hubs to be sold. Select the process that maximizes profit per day if each part is made from $4 worth of material and can be sold for $30. Both processes are fully automated, and variable overhead cost is charged at the rate of $40 per hour.

Company Z wants to change its major producť's production process. Detailed production cost data of four different process alternatives are given in the table below. The annual demand for the product is 60.000 units and the selling price is $120 per unit. Annualized Fixed Cost Variable Costs (per unit) ($) Process Type of Plant & Equipment Labor Material Energy Mass Customization $1,400,000 $1,000,000 $1,600,000 $1,960,000 30 18 12 Intermittent 24 26 20 Repetitive 28 15 12 Continuous 25 15 10 According to the given information about the demand, the value of annual profit using the best alternative process is $

Merrimac Manufacturing Company has always purchased acertain component part from a supplier on the East Coast for$50 per part. The supplier is reliable and has maintained thesame price structure for years. Recently, improvements in operations and reduced product demand have cleared up somecapacity in Merrimac’s own plant for producing componentparts. The particular part in question could be produced at$40 per part, with an annual fixed investment of $25,000.Currently, Merrimac needs 300 of these parts per year.a. Should Merrimac make or buy the component part?b. As another alternative, a new supplier located nearby isoffering volume discounts for new customers of $50per part for the first 100 parts ordered and $45 per partfor each additional unit ordered. Should Merrimacmake the component in-house, buy it from the newsupplier, or stick with the old supplier?c. Would your decision change if Merrimac’s annual demand increased to 2000 parts? increased to 5000 parts?d. Develop a set of…
