DataSpan, Inc., automated its plant at the start of the current year and installed a flexible manufacturing system. The company is also evaluating its suppliers and moving toward Lean Production. Many adjustment problems have been encountered, including problems relating to performance measurement. After much study, the company has decided to use the performance measures below, and it has gathered data relating to these measures for the first four months of operations.

Management has asked for your help in computing throughput time, delivery cycle time, and MCE. The following average times have been logged over the last four months:

Average per Month (in days)
1 2 3 4
Move time per unit 0.9 0.6 0.7 0.7
Process time per unit 3.8 3.6 3.4 3.2
Wait time per order before start of production 18.0 19.7 22.0 23.8
Queue time per unit 4.5 5.1 5.8 6.6
Inspection time per unit 0.8 1.0 1.0 0.8


Required:

1-a. Compute the throughput time for each month.

1-b. Compute the delivery cycle time for each month.

1-c. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for each month.

2. Evaluate the company’s performance over the last four months.

3-a. Refer to the move time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume that in month 5 the move time, process time, and so forth, are the same as in month 4, except that through the use of Lean Production the company is able to completely eliminate the queue time during production. Compute the new throughput time and MCE.

3-b. Refer to the move time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume in month 6 that the move time, process time, and so forth, are again the same as in month 4, except that the company is able to completely eliminate both the queue time during production and the inspection time. Compute the new throughput time and MCE.

The Switzers are nearing the end of the first five-year term of a $200,000 mortgage loan with a 25-year amortization. The interest rate has been 6.5% compounded semiannually for the initial term. How much will their monthly payments increase if the interest rate upon renewal is 7.5% compounded semiannually and the original amortization period is continued? (Do not round the intermediate calculations.

Aholt Company makes 40,000 units per year of a part it uses in the products it manufactures. The unit product cost of this part is computed as follows:

Direct materials $11.30
Direct labour 22.70
Variable manufacturing overhead 1.20
Fixed manufacturing overhead 24.70
  Unit product cost $59.90


An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs for $46.20 a unit. If the company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to make the part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional contribution margin on this other product would be $264,000 per year.
If the part were purchased from the outside supplier, all of the direct labour cost of the part would be avoided. However, $21.90 of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost being applied to the part would continue even if the part were purchased from the outside supplier. This fixed manufacturing overhead cost would be applied to the company's remaining products.

What is the net total dollar advantage (disadvantage) of purchasing the part rather than making it?

$(328,000).

$264,000.

$(64,000).

$548,000.

An 18 year old Primigravida presents to Labor And Delivery with what appears to be active labor. Upon questioning, you discover she has received no prenatal care. In obtaining some history while placing her on the fetal monitor you learn she is a smoker, approximately 1 pack per day, occasional marijuana for stress, and denies any support system. The Father of the Baby (FOB) has no knowledge of the pregnancy. No prenatal vitamins - they were too hard to swallow. She has no idea when her LMP was and she relates always being very irregular. * remember LMP is to ask the first day of the Last Menstrual cycle, not when the bleeding stopped* Objective information: Fetal heart tones are 130, with minimal variability Vaginal examination is 4 cm/90%effaced/ -1 station She is complaining of pain - 8/10 on a numerical scale. An IV has been started with an 18 gauge catheter with 1 liter of Lactated Ringers at 150 ml per hr in left forearm. How can you provide non pharmacological comfort to this patient? What are the pharmacological methods to use? Without prenatal records or history GBS is unknown. What must you provide? Contractions are 5 minutes apart and you receive an order to augment labor - what non-pharmacological methods can you employ (or ask the MD to provide?) Pitocin is ordered, please include at what rate you will start Pitocin, and how often you titrate. What equipment is needed to hang and run Pitocin IV?
