At the beginning of each week, a machine is in one of four conditions: 1 = excellent; 2 = good; 3 = average; 4 = bad. The weekly revenue earned by a machine in state 1, 2, 3, or 4 is 100, 90, 50, or 10, respectively. After observing the condition of the machine at the beginning of the week, the company has the option, for a cost of 200, of instantaneously replacing the machine with an excellent machine. The quality of the machine deteriorates over time, as shown in the file P10 41.xlsx. Four maintenance policies are under consideration: Policy 1: Never replace a machine. Policy 2: Immediately replace a bad machine. Policy 3: Immediately replace a bad or average machine. Policy 4: Immediately replace a bad, average, or good machine. Simulate each of these policies for 50 weeks (using at least 250 iterations each) to determine the policy that maximizes expected weekly profit. Assume that the machine at the beginning of week 1 is excellent.

A bicycle component manufacturer produces hubs for bike wheels. Two processes are possible for manufacturing, and the parameters of each process are as follows: Process 1 Production rate Daily production time Process 2 35 parts/hour 4 hours/day 20% 15 parts/hour 7 hours/day 9% Percent parts rejected Assume that the daily demand for hubs allows all defect-free hubs to be sold. Select the process that maximizes profit per day if each part is made from $4 worth of material and can be sold for $30. Both processes are fully automated, and variable overhead cost is charged at the rate of $40 per hour.
Prevost Chemicals manufactures an industrial solvent at its only processing plant. A liquid chemical and labor are the two primary inputs. All other resources are included in manufacturing overhead.

Charles Lackey operates a bakery in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Because of its excellent product and excellent location, demand has increased by 5555% in the last year. On far too many occasions, customers have not been able to purchase the bread of their choice. Because of the size of the store, no new ovens can be added. At a staff meeting, one employee suggested ways to load the ovens differently so that more loaves of bread can be baked at one time. This new process will require that the ovens be loaded by hand, requiring additional manpower. This is the only production change that will be made in order to meet the increased demand. The bakery currently makes 1,800 loaves per month. Employees are paid $8 per hour. In addition to the labor cost, Charles also has a constant utility cost per month of $800 and a per loaf ingredient cost of $0.35 Current multifactor productivity for 640 work hours per month =0.27loaves/dollar (round your response to three decimal places).

Pendryl Office Supplies is evaluating the profitability of leasing a photocopier for its customers to use on a self serve basis at 10 cents/copy. The copier may be leased for $300 per month plus 1.5 cents per copy on a full service contract. Pendryl can purchase paper at $5 per 500 sheet ream. Toner costs $100 per bottle, which in normal use will last for 5000 pages. Pendryl thinks that there are additional other costs of 0.5 cents per copy. A. How many copies per month must be sold in order to break even? (6000 copies/month) B. What will be the increase in monthly profit for each 1000 copies sold above the break-even point? ($50 per month)
A company manufactures a product using machine cells. Each cell has a design capacity of 250 units per day and an effective capacity of 230 units per day. At present, actual output averages 200 units per cell, but the manager estimates that productivity improvements soon will increase output to 224 units per day. Annual demand is currently 60,000 units. It is forecasted that within two years, annual demand will triple. How many cells will the company require to satisfy predicted demand under these conditions? Assume 242 workdays per year. (Round up your answer to the next whole number.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. 3 Cells
