Reducing In-Process Inventory
a. To provide a basis of comparison, begin by evaluating the status quo. Determine the expected amount of in-process inventory at the presses and at the inspection station. Then calculate the expected total cost per hour of the in-process inventory, the presses, and the inspector.
b. What would be the effect of proposal 1? Why? Make specific comparisons to the results from part a. Explain this outcome to Jerry Carstairs.
d. Make your recommendations for reducing the average level of in-process inventory at the inspection station and at the group of machines. Be specific in your recommendations, and support them with quantitative analysis like that done in part a. Make specific comparisons to the results from part a, and cite the improvements that your recommendations would yield.

Two processes have been identified that provide the same level of particulate reduction. The first process is expected to incur $340,000 of fixed cost and add $40 of variable cost to each casting Spartan produces. The second process has fixed costs of $100,000 and adds $70 of variable cost per casting. a. What is the break-even quantity beyond which the first process is more attractive?

- Can you do the calculations in Excel file showing all the work? You are a planner at a small distribution warehouse. Historically, the warehouse has targeted fulfilling 10 orders per hour for planning purposes. However, as the diversity of products has expanded, as well as the size of orders, this target has proven to be unreliable, as the orders are continually behind schedule and customers are complaining about late deliveries. Your supervisor has tasked you with determining a better target so that the warehouse may provide better delivery estimates to customers for their orders. Over the past week you gathered data for the number of orders fulfilled each day. This data is shown in the following table. Day Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Orders 88 64 72 56 80 A. Assuming 8 hours of operations each day, what is the mean and standard deviation for orders fulfilled per hour? The following table may help with these calculations.
