According to the principle of __________, the more recent the data, the more valuable they are.

A member of the board who is a top executive of the firm is called a(n) _____. a. co-manager b. inside director c. outside direc

stira [4]

Answer:

B) inside director

Explanation:

An inside director is a member of the board of directors that is also an employee of the company. Usually inside directors should be part of the top management of the company, but in some particular cases that may not apply (e.g. in European cooperatives unions are represented by one member in the board).

It doesn't matter if the directors are inside or outside directors (don't work in the company), they all have a duty of care to the company.

Management of Mittel Rhein AG of Köln, Germany, would like to reduce the amount of time between when a customer places an order

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

1. Throughput Time = 9.2 days

2. Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency = 29%

3. 71% throughput time was spent in non value added activities.

4. Delivery Cycle Time = 25.8 days

5. New MCE = 57%

Explanation:

Given

Inspection time 0.7 days

Wait time 16.6 days

Process time 2.7 days

Move time 1.3 days

Queue time 4.5 days

1. The throughput time is calculated by adding all time except the wait time.

I.e.

Throughput time = Inspection time + Process time + Move time + Queue time

Throughput Time = 0.7 days + 2.7 days + 1.3 days + 4.5 days

Throughput Time = 9.2 days

2. Calculating the manufacturing cycle efficiency.

Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency is calculated by dividing value added time by throughput time.

Where the value added time = the process time = 2.7 days

And throughput time = 9.2 days (calculated in (a) above)

Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency = 2.7 days ÷ 9.2 days

Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency = 0.2934782609

Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency = 29.34782609%

Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency = 29%

3. Calculating the percentage of the throughput time was spent in non–value-added activities.

This is calculated by subtracting MCE calculated above from 100%

% throughput time = 100% - 29%

% throughput time = 71%

So, if 29% throughput time was spent in value added activities, 71% throughput time was spent in non value added activities.

4. Calculating the delivery cycle time.

This is calculated by adding the wait time to throughput time.

i.e.

Delivery Cycle Time = Wait Time + Throughput Time

Where Wait Time = 16.6 days and Throughput Time = 9.2 days

Delivery Cycle Time = 16.6 days + 9.2 days

Delivery Cycle Time = 25.8 days

5. Calculating new MCE.

Here, we'll used the same formula used in (2) above

i.e

Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency is calculated by dividing value added time by throughput time.

Where the value added time = the process time = 2.7 days

But throughput time will be calculated as

Throughput time = Inspection time + Process time + Move time (because of the elimination of all queue time)

Throughput Time = 0.7 days + 2.7 days + 1.3 days

Throughput Time = 4.7 days

So, New MCE = 2.7 days ÷ 4.7 days

New MCE = 0.5744680851

New MCE = 57.44680861%

New MCE = 57%

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The performance problem to minor burns will be mainly psychological.

Explanation:

The staff involved will most likely exhibit a reduction in speed at which he or she executed the task which led to the burn.

If the personnel is in a chain of production where their own activity feeds others, it may translate to the increase in the time taken to achieve results.

One solution to this is to critically examine the production process and eliminate the cause of the accident if any.

If the cause of the incident was as a result of carelessness on the part of the staff, then he or she might have to be rescheduled to another department or unit where their current mindset will not stall the overall performance of the team/production line.

Cheers!

Fixed vs Variable cost preference. Bates operates a kiosk at a local mall, selling duck calls for $30 each. The variable cost to

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Option 2 should be selected

Explanation:

Using a rational approach which option most benefit and have a minimum cost. We will use the break-even level here to decide which option should be selected.

Option 1

Price per call = $30

Variable cost per call = $18

Contribution = Sales - Variable cost = $30 - $18 = $12

Fixed Cost = $15,000

Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution per call = $15,000 / $12 = 1,250 calls

Option 2

Price per call = $30

Variable cost per call = $18 + ( $30 x 10% ) = $18 + $3 = $21

Contribution = Sales - Variable cost = $30 - $21 = $9

Fixed Cost = $9,000

Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution per call = $9,000 / $9 = 1,000 calls

Difference = 1,250 calls - 1,000 calls = 250 calls

Option 2 is better option because it take 250 less calls to reach at break-even in the month. It should be selected.
