A process currently services an average of
59
customers per day. Observations in recent weeks show that its utilization is about 90 percent, allowing for just a 10 percent capacity cushion. If demand is expected to be
70
percent of the current level in five years and management wants to have a capacity cushion of just
4
percent, what capacity requirement should be planned?
The needed capacity requirement is
nothing
customers per day. (Enter your response rounded up to the next whole
number.)
What do you mean by fixed cost and variable cost? Provide at least three examples of each item. (Write within 4-5 lines).
Select an appropriate manufacturing process, where dimensional accuracy and precision
is not important for most of the part features. However, certain features such as tapped holes and
bore hole require precision. Assume the material is delrin.

- Suppose your company has just found $100,000 worth of outdated inventory in an old warehouse (this is the original manufacturing cost). Your boss asks you to consider two options: (1) re-engineer the outdated parts at a cost of $30,000, and ideally resell them for $60,000, or (2) scrap them for $15,000 cash (which is certain) in a second-hand market. What advice would you give your boss?
