- QUESTION 2 A. In Akhwan Company, operations director Mr Tamad recently realized there had been an increase in products failing during the final quality checks. These checks were carried out in the QC (quality control) laboratory, which tested finished goods products before being released for sale. The product failure rate had risen from 1% to 4% in two years' time which meant an increase of hundreds of items of output a month which were not sold to Akhwan's customers. The failed products had no value to the company once they had failed QC as the rework costs were not economic. Because the increase was gradual, it took a while for Mr Tamad to realize that the failure rate had risen. A thorough review of the main production operation revealed nothing that might explain the increased failure and so attention was focused on the QC laboratory. For some years, the QC laboratory at Ikhwan, managed by Ramly, had been marginalized in the company, with its two staff working in a remote…arrow_forwardQuestion 25 VQA stands for: O Village, Quality, Allegiance O Vintners Quality Alliance O Variation, Quality, Association O Vintners Quality Assurancearrow_forwardPlease do not give solution in image format thankuarrow_forward
- Question 9 of 25 View Policies Atarrow_forwardQuestion-1: A company supplies several types of Ice-cream to consumer market. It has two plants. The data of year 2022 for both plants are given as follows Plant-1 $10,000 $5,000 $2,000 50000 Quality rate 90% Average Selling price $5/unit Labor cost Material cost Energy cost Unit produced Plant-2 $7,000 $7,000 $3,000 40000 95% $7/unit For year-2023, company decided to make an additional investment of $3,000 which would potentially improve the quality rate by 4% in plant-1 and 2% in plant-2. For budget limitation they can only invest in any one of the plants. Management decided to invest where multifactor productivity improvement will be higher compared to year-2022. Perform your analysis and suggest where management should invest the amount.
