Chapter 13, Problem 41P
A manager is going to purchase new processing equipment and must decide on the number of spare parts to order with the new equipment. The spares cost $200 each, and any unused spares will have an expected salvage value of $50 each. The probability of usage can be described by this distribution:
If a part fails and a spare is not available, two days will be needed to obtain a replacement and install it. The cost for idle equipment is $500 per day. What quantity of spares should be ordered?
a. Use the ratio method.
b. Use the tabular method (see Table 13.3).

A hospital has three independent fire alarm systems, with reliabilities of .95, .97, and .99. In the event of a fire, what is the probability that a warning would be given?
An injection molding system has a first cost of $90,000, and an annual operating cost of
$42,000 in year 1, increasing by $5000 per year thereafter. The salvage value of the system is
30,000 if you sell after 1 year of use. The salvage value decreases by $5,000 each year
thereafter. The maximum useful life of the machine is 4 years. Using a MARR of 20% per
year, determine the ESL and the corresponding Equivalent Annual Cost of the system.

- Scenario 3: Falsifying Attendance Jason, a Junior System Administrator with the Management Information Systems Department, clocked in 4 minutes and 27 seconds late for work this morning. While he won’t get fired for it, being late this once means that he will not receive the perfect attendance incentive which he needs to make ends meet, given his daughter’s recent series of hospitalizations. It’s not that Jason didn’t make an effort to be there on time. He actually arrived in the office five minutes early but was unable to clock in immediately because his direct superior, Raffy, asked him for an informal project progress report as soon as he walked in the door. As a Junior System Administrator, Jason has access and the capability to edit the company’s attendance records. He figures that since he was unable to punch in only because of his boss, it wouldn’t hurt to edit the timestamp on his attendance for today.

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. Considering this setup, should operators be incorporated into the…arrow_forward
