Concept explainers
a)
To determine: The approximate time needed to plan for a restaurant.
Introduction:
Capacity planning:
It is the method of planning the required production output, based on the requirement or the demand that is predicted.
a)
Explanation of Solution
It takes approximately 1 year to plan for a restaurant, as the complex and size is limited. The facility of the restaurant can be leased.
b)
To determine: The approximate time needed to plan for a hospital.
Introduction:
Capacity planning:
It is the method of planning the required production output, based on the requirement or the demand that is predicted.
b)
Explanation of Solution
It takes approximately 2 years to plan for a hospital, as the design is complex.
c)
To determine: The approximate time needed to plan for a oil-refinery.
Introduction:
Capacity planning:
It is the method of planning the required production output, based on the requirement or the demand that is predicted.
c)
Explanation of Solution
It takes 5 years to plan for an oil-refinery, as the government regulation and design is complex. Also, it has a great deal of land.
d)
To determine: The approximate time needed to plan for a toy factory.
Introduction:
Capacity planning:
It is the method of planning the required production output, based on the requirement or the demand that is predicted.
d)
Explanation of Solution
It takes one or two years to plan for a toy factory. If the building is leased, the required time will be less. The time required is based on the size of the building.
e)
To determine: The approximate time needed to plan for an electric power plant.
Introduction:
Capacity planning:
It is the method of planning the required production output, based on the requirement or the demand that is predicted.
e)
Explanation of Solution
It takes five years to plan for an electric power plant, as the government regulation and the design is complex. For the electric power plant, the public approval is required, which would slow down the process.
f)
To determine: The approximate time needed to plan for a public school.
Introduction:
Capacity planning:
It is the method of planning the required production output, based on the requirement or the demand that is predicted.
f)
Explanation of Solution
It takes few years to plan for the public school, as the general public is involved in the process.
g)
To determine: The approximate time needed to plan for a private school.
Introduction:
Capacity planning:
It is the method of planning the required production output, based on the requirement or the demand that is predicted.
g)
Explanation of Solution
It takes a year to plan for a private school, as the design is simple.

- I want an actual operation and maintenance plan of a sports stadium. I do not want guidelines in developing a plan. Can I be provided with an actual plan?arrow_forwardCortez Manufacturing intends to increase capacity by overcoming a bottleneck operation by adding new equipment. Two vendors have presented proposals. The fixed costs are $50,000 for proposal A and $75,000 for proposal B. In addition to the proposed fixed costs from the two ve management at Cortez anticipates that they will have to spend $8,000 for installations be completed. The variable cost is $12.00 for A and $11.00 for B. The revenue generated by each unit is $24.00. a) The break-even point in dollars for the proposal by Vendor A = $ (round your response to the nearest whole number). b) The break-even point in dollars for the proposal by Vendor B = $| (round your response to the nearest whole number).arrow_forwardLine balancing As the Operations Manager of Shane Manufacturing Ltd., you are given the task to balance the assembly line that is used to produce a special type of toy. a.

A loan processing operation that processes an average of 7 loans per day. The operation has a design capacity of 13 loans per day and an effective capacity of 8 loans per day. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) b. A furnace repair team that services an average of 2 furnaces a day if the design capacity is 10 furnaces a day and the effective capacity is 6 furnaces a day. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) c. Would you say that systems that have higher efficiency ratios than other systems will always have higher utilization ratios than those other systems?arrow_forwardProblem 1 - Need help with this problem, for part C please give explain using part a and b as examples.
