Concept explainers
a)
To develop: Aggregate planning for the 6-month period
Introduction: The aggregate plan is the output of sales and operations planning. The major concern of aggregate planning is the production time and quantity for the intermediate future. Aggregate planning would encompass a time prospect of approximately 3 to 18 months.
b)
To determine: The total cost for the aggregate plan of the 6-month period
Introduction: The aggregate plan is the output of sales and operations planning. The major concern of aggregate planning is the production time and quantity for the intermediate future. Aggregate planning would encompass a time prospect of approximately 3 to 18 months.

- 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_forward1.)

Since the casting process is highly variable, not all castings produced are good. The cost of producing each casting is $550; the additional cost of finishing a good casting is $125. If a casting is not good, it is recycled at a value of $75; excess good castings are not finished but are recycled at a value of $75. The customer has agreed to accept 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20 castings at a price of $1250 each. If fewer than 15 good castings are produced, none will be purchased by the customer. Prob- ability distributions for the number of good castings produced in a batch of varying sizes are given below. How many castings should be scheduled in order to maximize expected profit? #Good Castings 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 79 2 PRODUCT, PROCESS, AND SCHEDULE DESIGN Number of Castings Scheduled 15 16 17 0.05 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.05 0.05 0.00…arrow_forward

The company has 2,000 hours of machine time available per month. Shouldthe company make or buy the component? How many max parts company can make?________________________________________________________________arrow_forwardYou have been asked to estimate the cost of 100 prefabricated structures to be sold to a local school district. Each structure provides 1,000 square feet offloor space, with 8-feet ceilings. In 1999, you produced 70 similar structures consistingof the same materials and having the same ceiling height, but each provided only 800square feet of floor space. The material cost for each structure was $25,000 in 1999, andthe cost capacity factor is 0.65. The cost index values for 1999 and 2006 are 200 and 289,respectively. The estimated manufacturing cost for the first 1,000-square-foot structureis $12,000. Assume a learning curve of 88% and use the cost of the 50th structure asyour standard time for estimating manufacturing cost. Estimate the total material costand the total manufacturing cost for the 100 prefabricated structures.arrow_forwardCompany XYZ is strictly a service company and does not carry any inventory on its balance sheet.
