A toy manufacturer makes its own wind-up motors, which are then put into its toys While the toy manufacturing process is continuous


A toy manufacturer makes its own wind-up motors, which are then put into its toys While the toy manufacturing process is continuous, the motors are intermittent flow. Data on the manufacture of the motors appears below.


 Annual demand (D)-50,000 units Daily subassembly production rate = 1,000 

 Setup cost (S) = $85 per batch   Daily subassembly usage rate = 200

Carrying cost = $.20 per unit per year  


 1. To minimize cost, how large should each batch of subassemblies be? 

 2. What is the average inventory for this problem?

 3. What is the total annual inventory cost (holding plus setup) of the optimal behavior in this 3 Marks problem?

​To determine whether the pipe welds in a nuclear power plant meet specifications a random sample of welds is selected


To determine whether the pipe welds in a nuclear power plant meet specifications a random sample of welds is selected, and tests conducted on each. Weld strength is measured as the force required to break the weld. Suppose the specifications state that mean strength of welds should exceed 100lb/in2; the inspection team decides to test Ho : μ = 100 versus Ha : μ < 100 why is this not as good as Ha : μ > 100

Sroute Manufacturing intends to increase capacity by overcoming a bottleneck operation by adding new equipment. Two vendors have presented proposals. The fixed costs are $60,000 for proposal A and $70,000 for proposal B. The variable cost is $13.00 for A and $11.00 for B. The revenue generated by each unit is $2200. 

a) The break-even point in units for the proposal by Vendor A units (round your response to the nearest whole number) 

b) The break-even point in units for the proposal by Vendor B = units (round your response to the nearest whole number).

Patients are arriving at a clinic at a rate of two per minute. Each patient’s visit consists of four steps: check in, record vital signs, receive treatment, and check out. A receptionist takes 1 minute to check a patient in. A nurse takes 2 minutes to record the patient’s vital signs. A doctor spends 10 minutes with a patient. A staff member takes 3 minutes to check a patient out. What is the cycle time of the process in minutes?

​The H.A.L. Computer Store sells a printer for $200.


The H.A.L. Computer Store sells a printer for $200. Demand for this is constant during the year, and annual demand is forecasted to be 600 units. The holding cost is $20 per unit per year, while the cost of ordering is $60 per order. Currently, the company is ordering 12 times per year (50 units each time). There are 250 working days per year and the lead-time is 10 days. 


(a) Given the current policy of ordering 50 units at a time, what is the total of the annual ordering cost and the annual holding cost? 

(b) If the company used the absolute best inventory policy, what would the total of the ordering and holding cost be?

(c)  What is the reorder point?
