Typically, out of the 100 guitars that begin production each month, only 80 percent are considered good enough to sell. The other 20 percent are scrapped due to quality problems that are identified after they have completed the production process. Each guitar sells for $300. Because some of the production process is automated, each guitar only requires 10 labor hours. Labor is paid at $10/hour, materials cost is $40/guitar, and overhead is $2,000. a) Calculate the labor and multifactor productivities. b) After some study, the operations manager recommends 3 options to improve the company’s multifactor productivity: (1) increase the sales price by 10 percent, (2) improve quality so that only 10 percent are defective, or (3) reduce labor, material, and overhead costs by 10 percent. Which option has the greatest impact on the multifactor productivity measure?arrow_forward
