“As soon as the customer places an Order, it is received by the Sales department and a Sales Order is created. The Sales Order is sent to the Finance Department to check if the customer has any outstanding balance for more than 60 days. The AR Clerk at the Finance Department checks and sends the results back to the Sales Department. If there is an outstanding balance for more than 60 days, the Sales Department puts the Order on hold and notifies the customer. Otherwise, the Order Entry Clerk creates an Order Confirmation and sends it to the customer. Simultaneously a Picking List is generated and sent to the Order Fulfilment Department who picks up the next set of process steps. The Order Fulfilment Department receives the Picking List and determines which Warehouse is closest to the Customer location. The Picking List is sent to that Warehouse location. There, the items from the Picking List are picked. An Invoice is generated and printed. The items are packed along with the printed…
A manufacturer has a production facility that requires 10,237 units of component JY21 per year.
Following a long-term contract, the manufacturer purchases component JY21 from a supplier with
a lead time of 6 days. The unit purchase cost is $31.4 per unit. The cost to place and process an
order from the supplier is $168 per order. The unit inventory carrying cost per year is 12.2 percent
of the unit purchase cost. The manufacturer operates 250 days a year. Assume EOQ model is
appropriate. If the manufacturer uses a constant order quantity of 1,053 units per order, what is
the annual holding cost?
Use at least 4 decimal places.
A swim club is designing a new pool to replace its old pool. The new pool would need to last
for 10 years since the club is planning on relocating after 10 years. A concrete shell would cost
$85,000 and last for all 10 years. Another option is to install a vinyl liner that would cost only
$70,000 to install. However, the vinyl is not guaranteed to last for all 10 years, and it has a 40%
chance of breaking down. Repair of the vinyl would cost $40,000 and would extend the life of
the vinyl liner to the 10-year mark. If both options are acceptable to the swim club, which one
minimizes cost? Support your answer with drawing a decision tree and provide your calculation.

- Assume the demand for a companys drug Wozac during the current year is 50,000, and assume demand will grow at 5% a year. If the company builds a plant that can produce x units of Wozac per year, it will cost 16x. Each unit of Wozac is sold for 3. Each unit of Wozac produced incurs a variable production cost of 0.20. It costs 0.40 per year to operate a unit of capacity. Determine how large a Wozac plant the company should build to maximize its expected profit over the next 10 years.arrow_forwardMultiple Choice As the discount rate increases, the present value of a positive cash flow to be received at a particular time in the future: gets closer to zero gets larger without limit stays unchanged gets smaller without limitarrow_forwardA health insurance policy pays 70 percent of physical therapy costs after a $200 deductible.

- Your answer is partially correct. An independent contractor for a transportation company needs to determine whether she should upgrade the vehicle she currently owns or trade her vehicle in to lease a new vehicle. If she keeps her vehicle, she will need to invest in immediate upgrades that cost $5,200 and it will cost $1,300 per year to operate at the end of year that follows. She will keep the vehicle for 5 years; at the end of this period, the upgraded vehicle will have a salvage value of $3,800. Alternatively, she could trade in her vehicle to lease a new vehicle. She estimates that her current vehicle has a trade-in value of $9,800 and that there will be $4,100 due at lease signing. She further estimates that it will cost $2,900 per year to lease and operate the vehicle. The independent contractor's MARR is 11%.

- I'm working on a FlexSim simulation model to map the flow of four different products through a warehouse, aiming to identify the necessary elements like sources, queues, and operators. The setup includes products arriving at a waiting area, moving to designated inspection machines, passing through a scanning station, and then being transported to storage racks. The model is built with parameters like arrival and inspection times based on exponential distributions, scanning set to a fixed duration, and a total simulation run of 50,000 seconds. I'll be analyzing the layout, settings, and performance metrics, with visual documentation through screenshots. A forklift will also be included to handle the transport of products after scanning, with its utilization evaluated to see if a single forklift is sufficient. The goal is to identify inefficiencies, suggest improvements, and explore ways to optimize the system.
