Question 3
A company BioProd Itd. manufactures components for a ventilator unit used in the medical
field. Their annual production volumes are in the range of 1400 to 1600 products.
a) Due to the current COVID-19 situation the sales forecast has increased to 5000
products in the next few months. Figure 3 shows their current manufacturing system
and process flow for one of the aluminium components which are machined for the
ventilator. How would you change the production system to deal with the increased
production quantity? Assume that all the current factory operations are done
manually. State any additional assumptions you may require to take in order to
implement your solution.

- QUESTION 3 A producer has 100 cows, and wants to evaluate the economic feasibility of artificial insemination against natural mating. After taking into consideration the cost of bulls (using 4%), the operational costs, and the salvage value, the producer estimates that the cost of bulls per year is $3,170. On the other hand, the producer estimates that if using Al, the cost for frozen semen is $1,671/year and the cost to synchronize cows (using lutalyse) is $286/year. Based upon this information, estimate the maximum amount (i.e. $/hour) that the producer can pay for Al labor (before Al becomes more expensive than natural mating). Assume that for the 100 cows, 98 hours of labor are required for Al. Also assume that the producer already has proper facilities and Al tanks. Enter your answer in the "answer" box below. Do not enter units, just enter dollars and cents (round to the nearest hundreth).

Support your answer with related examples.arrow_forwardQ: Model the following business process at a supplier. . After a supplier notifies a retailer of the approval of a purchase order, the supplier can receive an order confirmation, an order change, or an order cancelation from the retailer. It may happen that no response is received at all. If no response is received after 48 h, or if an order cancelation is received, the supplier will cancel the order. If an order confirmation is received within 48 h, the supplier will process the order normally. If an order change is received within 48 h, the supplier will update the order and ask again the retailer for confirmation. The retailer is allowed to change an order at most three times. Afterwards, the supplier will automatically cancel the order.arrow_forwardQ.7 How do supply chain management activities differ between services and manufacturing companies?

- Question 4.4 Montreal Hardware Co. is making a make-or-buy decision. The market feedback shows that the optimal price for this item is $10 each. If the item is outsourced to Laval Hardware Co, there is virtually no cost other than the $6 per unit that they would pay Laval Hardware Co. Internally, they have two choices. Process A requires an investment of $120,000 for design and equipment, but it results in a $4 per unit cost. Process B requires only a $100,000 investment, but its per unit cost is $5. Regardless of whether the item is subcontracted or produced internally, there is a 50% chance that they will sell 50,000 units, and a 50% chance that they will sell 100,000 units.
