A production line makes 70 parts/hour. It runs for two 8-hour shifts per day. However, an average of one hour per shift is considered non-available working time (i.e., some historical downtime). The direct manufacturing cost is $40/part (during the first-pass). The first-pass-yield is 80%. From the non-conforming parts, 75% can be reprocessed into an acceptable product, and the rest is scrapped; the reprocessing cost is $20/part. During a day (the two shifts combined): a. How many parts are produced, all of them, good and non-conforming, during the first-pass)? 980 parts b. How many good parts are produced during the first-pass? 784 parts c. How many good parts are produced in total, reprocessed parts included? d. What is the manufacturing cost per shift (total, direct and reprocessing costs)? e. What is the manufacturing cost per good part produced.
