Consider the manufacture of a simple remote control, constructed of five components; the top cover, bottom cover, circuit board, keypad, and battery compartment cover. The top cover is molded, which produces 5% scrap. Labels are painted on the top cover, of which 95% of the completed top covers are acceptable. The keypad is molded (5 % scrap) and painted (2 % scrap). The top cover and keypad are assembled together with a circuit board purchased from an outside vendor. The current subassembly is tested, and 10 % fail. As result, the circuit boards are scrapped, but the keypad and cover assembly are used until a circuit board passes. The bottom cover is molded, of which 10 % of moldings are scrapped, and those that pass are snapped to the top cover, keypad, circuit board assembly. The remote is tested again; this time only 3% fail. On those that fail, the remote is disassembled. The disassembly process causes 75 % of bottom covers to be scrapped. The circuit boards are also scrapped. Those assemblies that are acceptable are combined with the battery compartment cover. The battery compartment cover is molded, and 8 % are scrapped. Find the input quantities required to produce 10,000 remotes.
