Chapter 9, Problem 1P
A part is produced in lots of 1,000 units. It is assembled from two components worth $50 total. The value added in production (for labor and variable overhead) is $60 per unit, bringing total costs per completed unit to $110. The average lead time for the part is 6 weeks and annual demand is 3,800 units, based on 50 business weeks per year.
- How many units of the part are held, on average, in cycle inventory? What is the dollar value of this inventory?
- How many units of the part are held, on average, in pipeline inventory? What is the dollar value of this inventory? (Hint: Assume that the typical part in pipeline inventory is 50 percent completed. Thus. half the labor and variable overhead cost has been added, bringing the unit cost to $80, or

The component consists of three parts (A, B, and C) that are purchased from outside and cost 35, 30, and 10 cents per piece, respectively. Parts A and B are assembled first on assembly line 1, which produces 185 components per hour. Part C undergoes a drilling operation before being finally assembled with the output from assembly line 1. There are, in total, six drilling machines, but at present only three of them are operational. Each drilling machine drills part C at a rate of 80 parts per hour. In the final assembly, the output from assembly line 1 is assembled with the drilled part C. The final assembly line produces at a rate of 205 components per hour. At present, components are produced eight hours a day and five days a week. Management believes that if the need arises, it can add a second shift of eight hours for the assembly lines.

Helmets are produced in batches according to model and size. Although the setup and production time vary for each model, the smallest lead time is six days. The most popular model, Model HA2, takes two days for setup, and the production rate is 1,125 units per day. The expected annual demand for the model is 54,000 units. Demand for the model, however, can reach 67,500 units. The cost of carrying one HA2 helmet is $3 per unit. The setup cost is $9,000. Bateman chooses its batch size based on the economic order quantity criterion. Expected annual demand is used to compute the EOQ. Recently, Bateman has encountered some stiff competition—especially from foreign sources. Some of the foreign competitors have been able to produce and deliver the helmets to retailers in half the time it takes Bateman to produce. For example, a large retailer recently requested a delivery of 18,000 Model HA2 helmets with the stipulation that the…arrow_forward
