Question
Chapter 12, Problem 5E
1.
To determine
The utilization rate is the performance indicator that is used to make plans and determine the success of the company. It is used by manufacturing companies. The utilization rate of equipment can be increased by avoiding machine breakdowns and reducing the average setup times.
:
The utilization rate.
2.
To determine
The efficiency rate is the performance indicator that is used to make plans and determine the success of the company. It is used by manufacturing companies. The efficiency rate of equipment can be increased by avoiding minor work stoppages and properly training operators to maintain the machine regularly.
:
The efficiency rate.
3.
To determine
The quality rate is used by the company in order to determine the percentage of manufacturing time that is truly productive or defect-free. The quality rate of equipment can be improved by minimizing the number of defective units manufactured as a percent of the total units manufactured.
:
The quality rate.
4.
To determine
The overall equipment effectiveness includes utilization rate, efficiency rate, and quality rate. In the other words, the overall equipment effectiveness is used to measure the productivity of equipment in terms of quality, efficiency, and utilization.
:
The overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).

Celestial Products, Inc., has decided to introduce a new product, which can be manufactured by either a computer-
assisted manufacturing system or a labor-intensive production system. The manufacturing method will not affect the
quality of the product. The estimated manufacturing costs by the two methods are as follows:

- (Appendix 3A) Scattergraph, High-Low Method, Method of Least Squares, Use of Judgment The management of Wheeler Company has decided to develop cost formulas for its major overhead activities. Wheeler uses a highly automated manufacturing process, and power costs are a significant manufacturing cost. Cost analysts have decided that power costs are mixed. The costs must be broken into their fixed and variable elements so that the cost behavior of the power usage activity can be properly described. Machine hours have been selected as the activity driver for power costs. The following data for the past 8 quarters have been collected: Note: For the following requirements, round the fixed cost to the nearest dollar, round the variable rates to three decimal places, and the R2 to two decimal places. Required: 1. Prepare a scattergraph by plotting power costs against machine hours. Does the scatter-graph show a linear relationship between machine hours and power cost? 2. Using the high and low points (i.e., the high-low method), compute a power cost formula. (Note: Round answers to three decimal places.) 3. Use the method of least squares to compute a power cost formula. Evaluate the coefficient of determination. 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Rerun the regression, and drop the point (20,000, 26,000) as an outlier. Compare the results from this regression to those for the regression in Requirement 3.
