Question #5 (20 marks) Table Q5 shows inputs at factory A. Inputs for both the current and proposed systems are depicted. Using the information provided determine: a. Based on Table Q5, assuming that the system is stable, determine the following: i The facility's utilization percentage when using the current system [2 marks] ii. The facility's efficiency of the current system [2 marks] iii. The new number of actual outputs that should be achieved in order to reach an additional 20% increment in utilization [2 marks] iv. The new efficiency percentage based on the new actual output [2 marks] List five (5) methods/actions that could be implemented in order to further increase the number of actual output that could be produced. [2 marks] b. Based on Table Q5, in assuming that the system is stable, determine the following: 4 The labour-hour productivity of the current system [2 marks] ii. The multifactor productivity of the current system [2 marks) ili. The change of labour-hour productivity with the new system [2 marks] iv. The change of multifactor productivity with the new system [2 marks) V. List four (4) methods/actions that could be implemented in order to further improve manpower's productivity. (Note: Your answer must not be the same as Q5a(v). [2 marks) Table Q5. Inputs at Factory A Current System Effective capacity 3.200 unit per week Actual output 2,350 unit per week Designed to produce 4,500 unit per week Operating days 7 days a week/24 hours Material cost S100 per unit Overhead cost $20k per day Other cost S10k per day Number of manpower 100 Salary of personnel (per hour) $10 Proposed System Effective capacity Unchanged Designed to produce Unchanged New actual output 20% increment from current system New material cost $150 per unit New overhead cost $25k per day New other cost $12k per day Number of manpower 70 New salary of personnel (per hour) $20
