- Theories and concepts: Cause of the difficulties In this section, I will explain the causes of the difficulties which I have explained above. The reason for the missing cages uses to be that the cage is still being picked or not and if the picker is still using the cage to pick the items then request the picker to drop the cage off to the packing department so that the items can be packed and sent out the shipping department for the delivery. Also, if the cage is not in the picking department buffer or pack buffer and is not being picked then as a process guide it was my duty to search for the cage at the packing stations first, and if not found then to escalate to the management so that relevant department can be contacted for the action. During the critical pool time, there were a few shipments IDs use to get sent down from the picking department which they couldn’t send into the picker’s scanners as either the batch assigned for the item by the stowing department would be wrong or…arrow_forwardComplaints have come to the department manager regarding timeliness of requests for patient information and a decision must be made.

- Mont Corp produces and sells 1,000 dining tables per year. Currently its only quality problem with the products is related to varnishing. It currently incurs $400 per year for quality training and $600 per year for reliability engineering. Inspection cost is $6 per unit, and all units produced are inspected. Traditionally, at an internal inspection, 9% of all units fully-produced are found to have problems with the varnishing, and are reworked. Rework cost is $100 per unit. Defective units sold to customers are returned to the company and reworked. External failures are 1% of units sold, and the company incurs the shipping costs at the rate of $20 per unit. In 2020, management are considering an alternative method of inspecting products which will reduce inspection cost by $1.50 per unit. The alternative method will reduce the internal failure to 4% of all units produced, and increase the external failure rate to 6% of all units sold.

An artist has captured the experience in a drawing and is hoping to reproduce it and sell framed copies to current and former residents. He thinks that if the market is good he can sell 400 copies of the elegant version at $125 each. If the market is not good, he will sell only 300 at $90 each. He can make a deluxe version of the same drawing instead. He feels that if the market is good he can sell 500 copies of the deluxe version at $100 each. If the market is not good, he will sell only 400 copies at $70 each. In either case, production costs will be approximately $35,000. He can also choose to do nothing, if he believes there is a 50% probability of a good market, what should he do and why?arrow_forward
