QL (“Quebec Lumber”) is a logging and wood processing firm in a remote part of the Canadian province of Quebec. They have recently acquired a remote track of timber that is located ten miles from their processing facility. Normally, this is not a problem as they are able to simply cut the timber and haul it using trucks to their processing facility. However, this track of forestland is ten miles to their north, and there are no roads connecting the tract of land to their facility. They have also acquired a narrow (120 foot wide) ten-mile strip of land connecting this tract of timber to their processing facility. QL considered building their own road between the two points, and have log trucks haul the logs to the processing facility. However, they have decided instead to go with a less expensive option, a narrow gauge railroad. The narrow gauge railroad would require the laying of ties and steel tracks, and will require a custom-built locomotive and rolling stock (train cars that will…

A machine used for cutting materials in a factory has the following outputs per hour at various speeds and required periodic tool regrinding at intervals cited. Speed Hour Output per Tool RegrindingA 200 pieces every 8 hours B 280 pieces every 5 hours A set of tools costs 560 and can be ground twenty times. Each regrinding costs 54.00 and the time needed to regrind and change tools is 1 hour. The machine operator is paid 35.00 per hour including the time the tool is changed. The tool grinder who also sets the tools to the machine is paid 40.00 per hour. The hourly rate chargeable against the machine is 38.00, regardless of machine speed. Which speed is more ecomical? A.

A manufacturer has two shipments to make from Minneapolis to Chicago. Both shipments weigh 8500 pounds. The two shipments can be shipped separately to Chicago at a cost of $2.00 per mile for a total of 409 miles and will take one day for each shipment. The company has a warehouse in Milwaukee where they can consolidate the freight. It would take two LTL shipments at $2.00 per mile to get the freight to Milwaukee for 337 miles and then one full TL shipment from Milwaukee to Chicago at $1.50 per mile for 92 miles. The consolidation cost in Milwaukee is $200 and it takes two days for the trip through Milwaukee. What is the lowest cost to ship the freight and which approach would you select?
Company ZWZ manufactures three products in a serial system; Product XA is manufactured in Stage 1, Product XB in Stage 2, and XC in Stage 3. 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. The pertinent data are provided below: Stage 2 Stage 1 11 No overtime No subcontracting No sales 0.07 Unit regular time cost (TL) Unit overtime cost (TL) Unit subcontracting cost (TL) Unit selling price (TL) Unit processing time (hrs)…
You operate a process with three workstations; the cycle times are given below. A regular batch is 52 units and your production line runs 5 hours per day. Calculate how many hours lead time is required to ship a batch, assuming there are no orders ahead in the queue and there is no inventory to fill the order. Workstation 1 has a cycle time of 2 minutes per unit Workstation 2 has a cycle time of 3 minutes per unit Workstation 3 has a cycle time of 3 minutes per unit Select one: a. 1560.00 b. 8.00 c. 1560.00 d. 90.00 e. 2340.00
During an eight-hour shift, 750 non-defective parts are desired as a result of a manufacturing operation. The default operation time is 15 minutes. As the operators of machine are inexperienced, the actual time they take to perform the operation is 20 minutes, and, on average, a fifth of the parts that start to be manufactured are lost. Assuming that each one of the machines used in this operation will not be available for one hour in each shift, determine the number of machines needed.
Consider the situation of three (3) incoming product lots, as shown in the table. Consider floor stacking. For a dedicated storage system using a lane depth of 4 pallets, determine the number of lanes needed, and the floor space, for the incoming lots.Pallet dimensions 80 x 120 cm. The shorter dimension is placed along the access aisle, and the longer one into the lane. Clearances are 8 cm between pallets, between lanes, and back-to-back between pallets. The access aisle is 3.2 m wide; it is not shared with other products on the other side. The flue space at the back end of the lane is 50 cm.; this space is not shared with other products. The stacking heights is 2.5; see the sketch bekow. A third pallet can be placed on top of two stacks, as shown. Product A В C Lot size 162 144 134
Smith Inc. is a retail mail order firm that currently uses a centralized collection system that requires all checks to be sent to its flotation headquarters. An average of 6 days is required for mailed checks to be received, 3 days for Smith Inc. to process them, and 2 days for the checks to clear through its bank. A proposed lockbox system would decrease the mailing and processing time to 2 days and the check clearing time for 1 day. Smith Inc. has an average daily collection of P250,000. If Smith Inc. adopts this proposed lockbox system, its average cash balance will increase by. A. 1.2M B. 450k C. 750k D. 2M
