In a manufacturing company at present, the pattern shop and the maintenance department are located in the same room. One large c

ounter is used by both maintenance personnel to get tools and parts and by sand molders that need various patterns for the molding operation. Peter and Bob, who work behind the counter, are able to service a total of 10 people per hour (or about 5 per hour each). On the average, 4 people from casting/maintenance and 3 people from the molding/pattern department arrive at the counter per hour. People from the molding department and from casting dept arrive randomly, and to be served they form a single line. Pete and Bob have always had a policy of first come, first served. This is a poisson arrival pattern exponential service time model.Because of the location of the pattern shop and casting department, it takes about 6 minutes for a person from the casting/maintenance department to walk to the counter, and it takes about 2 minute for a person to walk from the molding.Separating the maintenance shop from the pattern shop had a number of advantages. It would take people from their department only 2 minutes now to get to the department counter.Using time and motion studies, George was also able to determine that improving the layout of the maintenance department would allow Bob to serve 6 people from the maintenance department per hour, and improving the layout of the pattern department would allow Pete to serve 7 people from the molding shop per hour. This would act as a single server system for both the departments separately.In the present system how much minutes are spent in casting ? Give only numeric answer

Answer:

18 mins

Explanation:

Time for a person to walk to the counter from casting = 6 mins

Time required to serve a person  = 60 mins / 5 = 12 mins

The time required to serve people from casting = 12 mins

this is because 5 people will be attended to every 1 hour from the initial arrangement and also Casting department had no specific improvement on their location that would affect their arrival time. this would have increased the number of people attended to per hour from the casting department.

<em>In the present system 18 mins is spent in casting = time for a person to walk + time required to serve a person = 6 mins + 12 mins</em>

algol [13]

Explanation:

Sinek's Golden Circle can be described as a methodology used to analyze marketing campaigns of the company itself and its competitors. It is widely used by advertisers and marketers. The methodology consists of drawing a graph in a target format that indicates from the center the questions: why, how and what.

Senek uses this graph to present a different way of communicating, what he means by that is that people are encouraged to buy not only the company's product, but its values, its causes, what you believe and why that your company exists.

I agree with him because the organizational image and its values ​​are important to the consumer as much as the product or service, because people want to consume value, positive experiences and emotions, therefore they will want to establish a relationship with companies that share the same your personal values.

In the organizational environment it is also important to hire professionals who share the same values ​​as the company, so that work becomes more motivating and productive, in addition to creating an aligned organizational culture that will help the company to be successful both internally and externally.

The Tivo company is an example of a company that tried to use the golden circle strategy but failed because it proposed a value proposal that made sense, because what it promised did not match the value it could offer, so it was a failed strategy.

Therefore, organizational values ​​must be shared by all employees in an organization, starting with the leader, different from those who lead, a true leader is one willing to set an example of how organizational values ​​should be fulfilled, it is necessary that he is willing to help employees, to be ethical and a motivational mirror for everyone in the company, not just a controlling and authoritarian manager who imposes fear and makes it difficult to create a productive and motivating organizational culture.

Security needs are also an important factor in organizations and represent the second level of the Maslow pyramid, in terms of the need that employees have to protect their values, their work, their emotional, job stability, insurance health insurance, life insurance, etc.

To make the work environment safe it is necessary to have employee protection policies, health benefits and life insurance, ease of doing work, physical security, etc.

Maintaining job security helps with motivation, innovation, employee loyalty and reduced turnover, which helps employees feel valued by the company and motivated to be more productive and loyal to their work.

Annual net income = $22,000

Capitalization rate = 8%

Value of the property = ?

Kate's Diner offers one breakfast item, a breakfast special. The market price for this meal is $5. At her profit-maximizing leve
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

keep producing in the short run but exit the industry or go out of business in the long run

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogeneous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

A firm should shut down in the short run if price is less than average variable cost. But since the diner's price is greater than average variable cost, it should continue production.

A firm should exit the industry in the long run if price is less than average total cost. the diner's price is less than average total cost, so it should shut down in the long run
