A work team is looking at a current product in the LUML catalog --- the L555X fixture. The L555X was introduced about 2 years ago; is a pretty good seller; seems to meet customer needs (virtually no complaints and few returns); and should be in production for several more years. No major changes in capability are planned. However, LUML is interested in improving the profits from the product. Marketing opines that the L555X is fairly priced given the competition and L555X’s capabilities. One option to try to increase profits is to raise the price (revenue) while holding the production expenses constant. Marketing believes that the L555X has a typical demand curve; and an increase in price will lead to a decrease in sales volume and lower overall revenue. On January 13, the team analyzed the current design and identified 63 parts in the L555X. On January 27 and 28, the team met with the industrial engineering department. Together they were able to identify 108 interfaces in the L555X.…

The Valley Wine Company purchases grapes from either of two nearby grape growers each season to produce a particular red wine. It purchases enough grapes to produce 3000 bottles of the wine. Each grower supplies a certain portion of poor quality grapes, resulting in a percentage of bottles being used as fillers for cheaper table wines according to the following probability distribution. Probability of Percent Defective Defective (%) Grower A Grower B 2 .15 .30 4 .20 .30 6 .25 .20 8 .30 .10 10 .10 .10 The two growers charge a different prices for their grapes and because of differences in taste, the company charges different prices for their wine depending on which grapes they use. The annual profit from the wine produced from each grower's grapes for each percentage defective is as follows.

A manager is going to purchase new processing equipment and must decide on the number ofspare parts to order with the new equipment. The spares cost $200 each, and any unused spareswill have an expected salvage value of $50 each. The probability of usage can be described by thisdistribution:Number 0 1 2 3Probability .10 .50 .25 .15If a part fails and a spare is not available, two days will be needed to obtain a replacementand install it. The cost for idle equipment is $500 per day. What quantity of spares should beordered?a. Use the ratio method.b. Use the tabular method (see Table 13.3).
