Sarah operated a sandal making
factory and store and is curious how
much time she has available per year
for production. Sarah knows she
needs a 15% capacity cushion per year
as well. She also has said that her
factory operated 2 shifts per day one
is 300 minutes long and the other is
180 minutes long. Additionally Sarahs
factory operates 41 weeks per year
and 5 days per week. How many hours
are available for sarah's production
after considering the 15% capacity
cushion?
Charles Lackey operates a bakery in Idaho Falls,Idaho. Because of its excellent product and excellent loca-tion, demand has increased by 25% in the last year. On far toomany occasions, customers have not been able to purchasethe bread of their choice. Because of the size of the store, nonew ovens can be added. At a staff meeting, one employeesuggested ways to load the ovens differently so that moreloaves of bread can be baked at one time. This new processwill require that the ovens be loaded by hand, requiring addi-tional manpower. This is the only thing to be changed. If thebakery makes 1,500 loaves per month with a labor produc-tivity of 2.344 loaves per labor-hour, how many workers willLackey need to add? (Hint: Each worker works 160 hours permonth.)

- At Taste of Thyme coffee shop a dirty chai latte creates a profit point of $2.85 for a small and $3.80 for a large. In a month, 200 small lattes were sold and 285 large lattes. As a fast growing demand item with fall approaching, the demand is estimated at 400 and 420 per month. The amount of machine time needed to produce the lattes is 5 minutes and 7 minutes each or for a month, 16.67 hours a month for a small and 33.25 hours a month for a large.
