Suppose a final assembly is produced by assembling two components. THE The first component, A, is produced internally and goes through three process steps, which are stamping, forging and machining, with scrap estimates of 10%, 15% and 25%, respectively. For every three produced units of component A, two are used in the final assembly and one is separate to meet spare parts needs. The second component, B, which is used exclusively in final assembly, is purchased from a supplier external and inspected on arrival; 2% do not pass inspection. A unit of the component purchased is required for each final assembly. The final assembly process produces 5% of scraps. Spare parts demands for component A and final Su assembly match to 1,000 and 5,000 units, respectively. How many input units are needed for produce component A, and how many units of component B should the firm buy?

- #4- The mean number of air conditioning units assembled per month by Freeze, Inc. is 750 and the standard deviation is 100 units. a. If the number of air conditioning units assembled per month follows a normal distribution, calculate the probability of Freeze, Inc to assemble a quantity of air conditioning units greater than the monthly break-even point calculated in problem 3-a. b. An improved assembling process is proposed to Freeze, Inc. to reduce the variable cost from $500 per unit to $400 per unit., increase the mean number of air conditioning units assembled per month from 750 to 850 and reduce the standard deviation to 90 units. As a result of the improvements, monthly fixed costs would go up from $250,000 to $300,000. Once these improvements are implemented, calculate the new number of air conditioning units that Freeze Inc. must sell every month to break-even, discuss and justify if you would recommend the process improvement initiative. c.

You are a planner at a small distribution warehouse. Historically, the warehouse has targeted fulfilling 10 orders per hour for planning purposes. However, as the diversity of products has expanded, as well as the size of orders, this target has proven to be unreliable, as the orders are continually behind schedule and customers are complaining about late deliveries. Your supervisor has tasked you with determining a better target so that the warehouse may provide better delivery estimates to customers for their orders. Over the past week you gathered data for the number of orders fulfilled each day. This data is shown in the following table. Day Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Orders 88 64 72 56 80 A.

- The sales department receives all orders from the customers. While receiving the order, the sales team authorizes the payment and check line items. If authorization is failed, a cancelation message is sent to the customer. On the other hand, each line item is checked with the stock. If it is in stock, assigned to the order otherwise the item is removed from the list. If stocks are available for all products and payment is authorized, the sales team dispatched the order.Shipping teams ship the order to the customer. The method of delivery is decided conditionally. Depending on the condition either the Urgent Delivery activity or the Regular Delivery activity is performed. The delivery procedure is finished when the customer receives it and signs in.
