A plant manager is attempting to determine the production schedule of various products to maximize profit. Assume that a machine hour constraint is binding. If the original amount of machine hours available is 200 minutes, and the range of feasibility is from 130 minutes to 300 minutes, providing two additional machine hours will result in:Group of answer choicesthe same product mix, same total profit.a different product mix, different total profit.the same product mix, different total profit.a different product mix, same total profit as before.

Multiple Choice QuestionA company produces two products. Product A sells for $25, has variable costs of $15, and requires 2 machine hours to produce. Product B sells for $35, has variable costs of $20, and requires 5 machine hours to produce. 40,000 machine hours are available. The company can sell all it can make of either product. Which statement is true?Multiple choice question.Product A should be produced because it will provide greater contribution margin per machine hour.Production should be split between Product A and Product B.Product B should be produced because it will provide greater contribution margin per machine hour.Product A should be produced because it has a lower cost than Product B.

A company produces two products, A and B, that go through a three-step sequence of fabrication, assembly, and packaging. Processing requirements for the departments (hours per unit) are: Product Fabrication Assembly PackagingA 1.0 1.0 2.0B 1.5 2.0 1.0Department capacities are all 7 hours per day. The following production schedule is for the next three days: Day Mon Tues WedA 2 2 1B 4 1 1a. Develop, for each department and day, the capacity requirements for each product and the total load for each day. Ignore changeover time between A and B. Evaluate the projected loads for each day. (Round the final answers to 1 decimal place.) Job   Fabrication   Assembly   PackagingStart Day Product Labor   Labor   LaborMon A                  B                                                        Tue A                  B                                                        Wed A                  B                                           b.

An agriculture equipment manufacturer has a sub-assembly production line where eight steps or tasks must be performed (outlined in the table below with all relevant information). Daily demand (required output rate) is 54 units and there are 960 minutes available each day to meet this production quota.Task     Req'd Time (in minutes)     Predecessor A 9 NoneB 5 AC 5 BD 7 BE 13 CF 3 CG 7 D, E, FH 3 G What is the total time (in minutes) for this production line?   What is the takt time (in minutes) for this production line?

A manufacturer produces two products A and B that are processed on two machines I and II before completion. Machine I can process either 25 units of product A or 10 units of product B per hour. Machine II can process 40 of product B or 20 units of product A per hour.Using matrices determine the following:(i) Monthly output of products A and B if machines I and II operate for 8 and 7 hours per day respectively in a 6-day working week with 4 weeks in a month.mission0000(ii) Per unit cost of production if the cost of operating per hour on two machines is 25,000 and 30,000 respectively.(iii) Total cost of production.

In a lock and key factory, the locks machine produces 100 locks per hour and needs to be oiled for 5 hours for every 1000 locks produced. The keys machine produces 150 keys per hour and needs oiling for 10 hours after production of every 3000 keys. If both machines start at the same time, what is the minimum duration (in hours) required for producing 6000 sets, each set comprising one lock and two keys?12011096100
