5. Amanufacturer has been shipping his product (moderately heavy machines), mounted only on skids without.complete crating. To avoid crating he must ship in freight cars which contain only his machines. To do this he must pay freight on a car capacity load of 42 tons regardless of whether or not the car is completely full. In the past he actually has shipped only 30 tons in each car. The car load freight rate is P4. 10 per hundred pounds. If the machines are crated so that they can be shipped in mixed car lots, along with other merchandise, they can be shipped at a rate of P4.20 per hundred pounds with the freight bill computed only on the actual weight shipped. The cost of crating would be P25.00 per machine and would inerease the shipping weight from 1,200 to 1.220 pounds per machine. Which procedure should be followed? (I ton 2,200 lbs.) Ans. Shipping without crating is cheaper by P404.80 %3D

Marketing system provides some useful insights regarding the sales order. Different departments use this information. For instance, the production process uses this information to forecast the expected sale for next month. The production clerk uses this to create an online production schedule. From this schedule, the system automatically prepares weekly online work orders to be used by the production department.The production supervisor assesses the work orders from his terminal and prepares the necessary paper-based move tickets and materials requisitions. Then, the move tickets and two copies of the materials requisitions are distributed to each work centre. Later, work centre employees submit the two copies of the materials requisitions to the warehouse in exchange for materials and sub-assemblies. If additional new materials are needed beyond the standard quantity, the supervisor issues additional materials requisitions. Work centre employees record their work hours on paper-based…

Cotton Island Fashions, a clothing producer, has generated a forecast for the next eightweeks. Demand is expected to be fairly steady, except for periods 3 and 4, which havehigher demands.Month 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 TotalForecast 1200 1200 1400 3000 1200 1200 1200 1200 11600The company typically hires seasonal workers to handle the extra workload in periods 3and 4. The cost for hiring and training a seasonal worker is $50 per worker, and thecompany plans to hire two additional workers and train them in period 3, for work in period4, and then lay them off (no cost for layoff). Develop an aggregate plan that uses steadyoutput from regular workers with added output from the two seasonal workers in period 4.The output rate for the seasonal workers is slightly less than that of regular workers, sotheir cost per unit is higher. The cost per unit for regular workers is $4 per unit, while costper unit for the seasonal workers is $5 per unit. Backlog cost is $1 per unit per period.

The provincial government plans to distribute certain types of vaccines to the 3 major urban centers of the province covering a large portion of the provincial population. The 5 million doses of vaccines are expected to arrive in large batches at one of the major cargo airports by 2 military transporter airplanes in a single day. The vaccines will then be distributed to the 3 cities with the number of doses corresponding to the population sizes of the 3 cities. They will be further distributed to the 20 hospitals and about 200 local clinics in these 3 cities. Officials of the provincial health agency must plan for the upcoming vaccine distribution.

Macon Controls produces three different types of control units used to protect industrial equipment from overheating. Each of these units must be processed by a machine that Macon considers to be their process bottleneck. The plant operates on two 8-hour shifts, 5 days per week, 52 weeks per year. The table below provides the time standards at the bottleneck, lot sizes, and demand forecasts for the three units. Because of demand uncertainties, the operations manager obtained three demand forecasts (pessimistic, expected, and optimistic). The manager believes that a 25 percent capacity cushion is best. i Demand Forecast Component A B C Time Standard Processing (hr/unit) 0.04 0.20 0.05 Setup (hr/lot) 1.0 4.4 8.5 Lot Size (units/lot) 50 75 100 Demand Forecast Pessimistic Expected 16,000 17,000 10,000 12,000 18,000 24,000 a.
