- York-Perry Industries (YPI) manufactures a mix of affordable guitars (A, B, C) that are fabricated and assembled at four different processing stations (W, X, Y, Z). The operation is a batch process with small setup times that can be considered negligible. The product information (price, weekly demand, and processing times) and process sequences are shown below. Purchased parts and raw materials (shown as a per-unit consumption rate) are represented by inverted triangles. YPI is able to make and sell up to the limit of its demand per week with no penalties incurred for not meeting the full demand. Each workstation is staffed by one highly skilled worker who is dedicated to work on that workstation alone and is paid $17 per hour.

Two parts (A and B) are then assembled on an ASSEMBLY machine. Standard times, scrap rates, efficiency, and availability of each machine and the assembly are given in the table below. Determine the number of milling (M), the lathe (L) and the assembly (A) machines needed to produce 100 good parts from this production system during and 8-hour (480 minutes) shift. (Note: Round up the number of parts processed on each station and then round up the number of machines needed).arrow_forwardThe senior management at Best Products Company (BPC) is concerned with the existing capacity limitation, so they want to accept the mix of orders that maximizes the company’s profits. Traditionally, BPC has utilized a method whereby decisions are made to produce as much of the product with the highest contribution margin as possible (up to the limit of its demand), followed by the next highest contribution margin product, and so on until no more capacity is available. Because capacity is limited, choosing the proper product mix is crucial. Ali Ahmed, the newly hired production supervisor, is an avid follower of the theory of constraints philosophy and the bottleneck method for scheduling. He believes that profitability can indeed be approved if bottleneck resources are exploited to determine the product mix. What is the profit if the traditional contribution margin method is used for determining BPC’s product mix?arrow_forward
