They need to plan for enough capacity to handlepatients in the clinic's three practice areas: urgent care, general practice, and laboratory. The administrative staff can fluctuatebetween areas, but they are primarily assigned to one of these stations. There are 32 staff members total, 27 working full-time and 5working 30 hours per week. Each staff member works 50 weeks each year.Last year, total DL cost (including benefits) for all administrative staff amounted to $1.6 million.

FeVer Beverages is a typical coffee shop that operates at Batangas. Recently, the general manager is facing a challenge about not meeting their target lead time of serving the hot coffee of 15 minutes. The lead time starts from order taking until order serving. The staffing model of the shop has one cashier, one barista and a guard. The number of staff, equipment, and raw materials have been found sufficient. Based on the initial data analysis, the volume of customers has been stable. Because there is a need for the lead time to improve as to retain its customers and to even grow, a problem-solving effort has been started using the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC approach. Using the FEVER Beverages, you should create your own Project Charter and SIPOC Diagram.
Abbott Manufacturing produces plastic cases for solar photovoltaic panels and has decided to combine orders from customers to increase work order size, and thereby, make one large production run per model type. Plastic injection molding machines are used to make these parts, and it is time consuming to clean and re-setup the machines between production runs. Each molding machine and operator works one 10-hour shift with a one- hour lunch break and one-half hour for operator breaks.

QuestionByron Sports is a manufacturer of sportswear. It produces all of its products in one department using a process costing system.The information for the current month is as follows:Beginning work in process (30% complete as to conversion cost) 12,000 unitsUnits started 90,000 unitsUnits completed and transferred out ?Ending work in process (70% complete as to conversion) 8,000 unitsCosts:Beginning work-in-process direct materials $28,800Beginning work-in-process conversion $5,040Direct materials added during month $216,000Conversion costs incurred during the month $139,200Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are incurred uniformlythroughout the production process. Costing is handled on a FIFO basis Required:a. Prepare a production cost worksheet using 5 steps approach.b. Under what conditions would a process costing system be more appropriate than a job order costing system? Explain.
A company producing a standard line and a deluxe line of dishwashers has the following time requirements (in minutes) in departments where either model can be processed. Standard Deluxe Stamping 3 6 Motor Installation 10 10 Wiring 10 15 The standard models contribute $20 each and the deluxe $30 each to profits. Because the company produces other items that share resources used to make the dishwashers, the stamping machine is available only 30 minutes per hour, on average. The motor installation production line has 60 minutes available each hour. There are two lines for wiring, so the time availability is 90 minutes per hour. Write the formulation for this linear program. What are the optimal daily production quantities of each product and the optimal daily profit?
A process improvement team is working to improve the production output at the Johnson Manufacturing plant’sHeader Cell that manufactures a key component, headers, used in commercial air conditioners. A header is partof the circulatory system of a commercial air conditioner that moves coolant between various components suchas the evaporator coil and the condenser coil. Currently, the header production cell is scheduled separately fromthe main work in the plant. Often, individual headers are not sequenced to match the product they go into on thefinal assembly line in a timely fashion, and so the product can sit in queue waiting for a header

Cakes baked by the Freshfood Bakery are transported from the ovens to be packaged by one of three wrappers. Each wrapper can wrap an average of 200 cakes per hour. The cakes are brought to the wrappers at the rate of 500 per hour. If a cake sits longer than 5 minutes before being wrapped, it will not be fresh enough to meet the bakery’s quality control standards. Does the bakery need to hire another wrapper?
