To draw: The environmental impact of using glass bottles and aluminium bottles.
Introduction: The way in which the production of a product takes place or a service is provided to the consumers is known as process planning. It helps in determining from where the components of production will be arranged. The process planning also helps in documentation and development of specification for manufacturing and delivery purpose.
Explanation of Solution
Using glass bottles as packaging leads to harmful impact on the environment. Glass bottles emits GHG gas in the environment that leads to greenhouse effect and depletion of ozon layer. On the other hand, the cost of manufacturing for using glass bottles will be low that will increase the efficiency in production.
Using aluminium bottles as packaging will have low consiquences on the environment as there will be low emission of GHG gas. The cost of production will be high in the case of aluminium.

- Consider a manufacturer of perfume who is about to expand production capacity to make a new product. Three alternative production processes are available. The following table shows the estimated profits (in $) for these processes for each of the three possible demand levels for the product. Alternatives States of Nature Low demand Moderate demand High demand A 100,000 350,000 900,000 B 150,000 400,000 700,000 C 250,000 400,000 600,000 Based on the above information, what would be the amount of regret, if alternative production process B is selected by the manufacturer and suppose that the level of demand turns out to be low?arrow_forwardTom is studying Chemical Engineering at Bradford University where he has developed a newfermentation process of cheese. His fermentation process is more economical and alsoconsolidates curd of milk solids into cheese in a more environmentally friendly manner. Thecheese produced by this process is more nutritious and tastes good too. Tom’s process is sogood that he was awarded the young innovator prize by the University.After completion of his degree, Tom has decided to develop his cheese fermentation processinto a business. He discussed this idea with his friend Jamal, who has been working as abusiness manager in MyD-Dairy for the past 15 years. Jamal introduced Tom to Jackie who isin the business of the distribution of dairy products for the past decade and is interested inestablishing a new line of cheese production business. All three of them are very excited aboutthis new business idea. Tom’s parents have promised to give him a £10,000 personal loan…arrow_forwardManufacturing Cycle Efficiency Waymouth Manufacturing operates a contract manufacturingplant located in Dublin, Ireland. The plant provides a variety of electronics products and components to consumer goods manufacturers around the world. Cycle time is a critical success factorfor Waymouth, which has developed a number of measures of manufacturing speed. Waymouthhas studied the matter and found that competitive contract manufacturers have manufacturing cycleefficiency (MCE) of about 40%. When last calculated, Waymouth’s MCE was 35%.Key measures from the recent month’s production, averaged over all the jobs during that period,are as follows:[LO 13-2]Activity Average Time (hours)New product development 30Materials handling 2Order setup 6Machine maintenance 3Order scheduling 1Inspection of completed order 5Pack and move to storage or ship 2Manufacturing assembly 24Order taking and checking 3Receiving and stocking raw materials 6Inspection of raw materials at start of production 2Required…arrow_forward
- Based on the case study below, In what way would unmet guarantees affect HP CSR.arrow_forwardThe Colonial House Furniture Company manufactures two-drawer oak file cabinets that are sold unassembled through catalogs. The company initiates production of 488 cabinet packages each week. The percentage of good-quality cabinets averages 84% per week, and the percentage of poor-quality cabinets that can be reworked is 64%. If the direct manufacturing cost per cabinet is $78 and the rework cost is $38, what is the manufacturing cost per good product? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 35.50) Manufacturing cost per good product = $ per cabinetarrow_forward79) Which of the following best describes the benefit of Balanced Scorecard? a) The Balanced Scorecard guarantees a firm financial success for its shareholders and employees. b) The balanced Scorecard guards against the sub -optimization of individual functions by providing a holistic view of different operational measures. c) The balanced scorecard ensures that a firms product strategy is leading the market. d) The balanced scorecard protects the firm from having over-reaching government regulations.arrow_forward

- Audio Cables, Inc., is currently manufacturing an adapter that has a variable cost of $ 50 per unit and a selling price of $1.00 per unit. Fixed costs are $14,000. Current sales volume is 30,000 units. The firm can substantially improve the product quality by adding a new piece of equipment at an additional fixed cost of $6,000. Variable costs would increase to $ 60, but sales volume should jump to 50,000 units due to a higher-quality product Should Audio Cables buy the new equipment?arrow_forward2) BAQARAH Milk is fresh cow’s milk from Bangladesh’s first industrial hi-tech dairy farm which is equipped with the most advanced technology for milking cows and processing milk.
