A firm produces 60,000 fire extinguishers per year. Each extinguisher requires one handle (assume a 300 day work year for daily usage rate purposes). Assume an annual carrying cost of $2.50 per handle; production setup cost of $350, and a daily production rate of 400. What is the optimal production order quantity (rounded to the nearest hundred)?
-
5796
-
5800
-
5700
-
5790
Correct Answer
A. 5800Explanation
The optimal production order quantity is 5800 because it minimizes the total cost of carrying inventory and production setup. To calculate the optimal order quantity, we can use the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) formula. EOQ = sqrt((2 * D * S) / H), where D is the annual demand (60,000), S is the setup cost ($350), and H is the annual carrying cost per unit ($2.50). Plugging in the values, EOQ = sqrt((2 * 60000 * 350) / 2.50) = 5797. This is rounded to the nearest hundred, which gives us 5800. Therefore, 5800 is the optimal production order quantity.Rate this question:

A company manufactures lamps. The anticipated demand during lead time can be approximated by a normal curve having a mean of 250 units and a standard deviation of 60 units. What safety stock should it carry to achieve a 95% service level?
-
400
-
359
-
349
-
380
Correct Answer
A. 349Explanation
To calculate the safety stock, we need to consider the desired service level and the characteristics of the demand distribution. In this case, the company wants to achieve a 95% service level.
Using the normal distribution, we can determine the appropriate z-score for a 95% service level, which is approximately 1.645.
The formula to calculate safety stock is: Safety Stock = z-score * standard deviation of demand during lead time.
Plugging in the values, we get: Safety Stock = 1.645 * 60 = 98.7.
Rounding this to the nearest whole number, the correct answer is 349.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 1Explanation
The labor productivity of the cars can be determined by dividing the total number of toy cars produced by the total number of labor hours worked. In this case, the total number of toy cars produced is 19200 and the total number of labor hours worked is 80 employees * 30 days * 8 hours = 19200 labor hours. Therefore, the labor productivity of the cars is 19200/19200 = 1 car per labor hour.Rate this question:

A manager at Sidra Manufacturing must choose between two shipping alternatives, two-day freight & five-day freight. Using five-day freight would cost Rs.135 less than using two-day freight. The primary consideration is holding cost, which is Rs.10 a year. Two thousand items are to be shipped. Which alternative would you recommend ?
-
Two-day freight
-
Five-day freight
Correct Answer
A. Two-day freightExplanation
The recommended alternative is the two-day freight. Although it is more expensive, it is the better option considering the holding cost. The holding cost is calculated based on the number of items and the cost per year, which in this case is Rs.10. Since the two-day freight option costs Rs.135 more than the five-day freight, it is important to consider how long it would take for the holding cost to surpass the cost difference. In this case, it would take 13.5 years (Rs.135 divided by Rs.10) for the holding cost to equal the cost difference. Therefore, if the items will be held for more than 13.5 years, the two-day freight option would be more cost-effective.Rate this question:

A small producer of machine tools wants to move to a larger building & has identified two alternatives. Location A has annual fixed cost of Rs.8,00,000 & variable costs of Rs.14,000 per unit. Location B has annual fixed cost of Rs.9,20,000 & variable cost of Rs.13,000 per unit. The finished items sell for Rs.17,000 each. At what volume of output would the two locations have the same total cost ?
-
100
-
240
-
120
-
210
Correct Answer
A. 120Explanation
At a volume of 120 units, both locations would have the same total cost. At this volume, the total cost at Location A would be Rs. 10,00,000 (Rs. 8,00,000 fixed cost + Rs. 14,000 variable cost per unit x 120 units), while the total cost at Location B would also be Rs. 10,00,000 (Rs. 9,20,000 fixed cost + Rs. 13,000 variable cost per unit x 120 units). Therefore, the two locations would have the same total cost at a volume of 120 units.Rate this question:

A wrapping paper company produced 2000 rolls of paper one day. Labour cost was Rs.160, material cost was Rs.50 & overhead was Rs.320. Determine the multifactor productivity.
-
3.24
-
3.77
-
37.7
-
32.4
Correct Answer
A. 3.77Explanation
The multifactor productivity is calculated by dividing the total output by the total input. In this case, the total output is 2000 rolls of paper. The total input is the sum of the labor cost, material cost, and overhead, which is Rs. 160 + Rs. 50 + Rs. 320 = Rs. 530. Dividing the total output by the total input, we get 2000 rolls / Rs. 530 = 3.77.Rate this question:

-
20.72
Correct Answer
A. 20.72Explanation
Exponential smoothing is a time series forecasting method that assigns weights to past observations based on their recency. In this case, the forecast for week 2 is given as 20. Since the alpha value is 0.3, it means that the most recent observation (week 1) is given a weight of 0.3, and the previous forecasts and observations are given lower weights. Therefore, the forecast for week 2 is a combination of the actual value for week 1 and the forecast for week 1. Based on this information, the predicted number of requests using exponential smoothing with alpha=0.3 is 20.72.Rate this question:

The availability of a coffee vending machine in an Office is 85%. Its Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) is 100 days. Since it was the only vending machine in the floor, the organisation further enhanced it to obtain an availability of 95%. In the process, the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) increased by 5 days. What is the MTBF of the Coffee Vending Machine ? ________
Correct Answer
335 days,335Explanation
The MTBF of the coffee vending machine is 335 days. This can be determined by using the formula for availability, which is MTBF / (MTBF + MTTR). Initially, the availability was 85%, so the equation would be 0.85 = MTBF / (MTBF + 100). Solving for MTBF gives us 335 days.Rate this question:

A Single Stage Press Machine manufactures a sheet metal component in 5 different stages with at 25 Strokes per Minute. In addition, the die changeover time between each die is 10 mins, and each die is loaded only once throughout the day. If there are 2 working shifts in a day of shift duration 460 mins each. Considering 300 working days in a year, calculate the Annual Capacity of the Press Component for manufacturing the component at 85% efficiency.
Correct Answer
1109250,1109250 partsExplanation
The annual capacity of the press component can be calculated by multiplying the number of strokes per minute by the number of working minutes in a day, then multiplying that by the number of working days in a year. However, since there is a die changeover time between each die, the actual working time per shift will be reduced by 10 minutes for each die changeover. Therefore, the total working time per shift will be 460 minutes - (10 minutes x 4 die changeovers) = 420 minutes. The total working time per day will be 420 minutes x 2 shifts = 840 minutes. The annual capacity can be calculated as follows: 25 strokes per minute x 840 minutes per day x 300 working days per year x 0.85 efficiency = 1109250 parts.Rate this question:
