Consider the aggregate plan, master schedule and the total tasks (time) required to assemble one of the finished goods parts.Finish calculating weeks 5 to 12 of the rolling 12-week master production schedule (MPS) based on the aggregate plan and then determine the worst case Takt time (cycle time) required (min/part) to produce the demands.

What is the theoretical minimum number of workstations required to produce to demand if 8,200 minutes of production are available per week?

It has been stated in Physics that it is impossible to have a physical system with an efficiency greater than 100% (i.e. >1.0) when considering energy out versus energy into the system.

However, Jim's production center sent his manufacturing numbers as follows:

(1) Labor 176 hours @ $11 / hour

(2) Palleted materials 41 units / pallet @ $65 per pallet

(3) Production center sold 268 units at $38 per unit

What is Jim's efficiency in terms of dollars $ out / $ in?

A Production Center A gave the following numbersfor analysis:

(1)Total Labor 107 hours at $12 per hour

(2) Palleted materials 42 units / pallet @ $59 per pallet

(3) Production center sold 226 units at $52 per unit

A second production center,B also provided numbers for calculation:

(1)Laborcosts: total of1hours/ unitat $13 per hour

(2)Materialcosts: boxes of20units/box $53per box

(3)Production center sold184units at$34per unit

Determine the productivity of Production Center A and B .

Enter the productivity of the most productive center in terms of $ out/ $ in.

The Missouri Department of Transportation built a new bridge over the Mississippi River for a cost of $150.00 million. It is estimated that the cost to maintain the bridge will be $2,646,252 per year indefinitely. At a rate of 0.04 interest rate, how much does the department need to invest in order to cover the bridges perpetual maintenance cost?
