Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

The name of my organization is Prime Plc. known for the production of confectionaries. The Production Department in my organization has been experiencing frequent equipment failures quite recently. A close investigation showed that the delays were caused by a breakdown of the sugar mills, mixers and, coating machines. This has resulted in delays in the production process. To improve these failures, I believe that the organization should:

1. Employ Technicians who can quickly carry out repair work on these machines when they breakdown instead of outsourcing the repair work for this would take a longer amount of time to get the machines up and running.

2. Introduce the periodic maintenance of these machines. Machines are subject to wear and tear, so I would suggest that the maintenance of these machines is carried out within intervals of three months.

3. Train the production personnel on the proper usage of these machines. Production personnel should be updated on current and effective ways of handling machines so as to guarantee their safety and longer use.

4. Make provisions for backup machinery and equipment. The organization would do well to purchase backup equipment especially for machines that the organization cannot do without so that in the event of an equipment failure, the production process would not be stalled.

When these measures are considered, there would be a significant improvement in the production department.

beks73 [17]

Answer:

make sure the client will receive reinforcement in the natural environment

Explanation:

It should make sure the client will receive reinforcement in the natural environment. In order to program for maintenance, behavior professionals should plan to bring as many stimuli from the real world into the training setting as possible, make sure the client will be reinforced in the real world, i.e., the natural setting; for example if a client can order fast food, the reinforcement will be receiving the fast food. Lastly a responsible behavioral professional will periodically probe for maintenance. This means they will check in and make sure the client still possesses the required skills, is emitting appropriate behaviors, and is receiving reinforcement. A BCBA can terminate services after there is evidence the skill has been maintained for a certain amount of time, or at an agreed upon time between stakeholders

An injection molding system has a first cost of $175,000 and an annual operating cost of $87,000 in years 1 and 2, increasing by
shusha [124]

Answer:

The ESL is 5 years and annual worth is $143,711

Explanation:

If negative values are not allowed, you can enter 143,711 as the annual worth

  • DF = Discounting factors are calculated by using the formula 1/1.14.

  • CF = cash flows. 3500 is added on annual basis from 3rd year, since the increase is per year.

  • Fifth year CF = 45000 is obtained as - 97500 + salvage value ( 210000 * 25%) 52500 = 45000.

  • AWF = Annual worth factor is obtained by dividing each year DF with the Total of DF.

  • In the last step we multiply CF and AWF to get equivalent annual worth.

Use the following formula:

AW = - 210000 / PVIFA - 87000 [ PV(1)/PVIFA] - 87000 [ PV(2) / PVIFA] - 90500 [  PV(3) / PVIFA] - 94000 [  PV(4) / PVIFA] - 45000 [  PV(5) / PVIFA].

During peak times, customers arrive at the Showcase SuperLux Theater at a rate of 180 per hour. All customers who enter the thea
eimsori [14]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a) utilization is

= customer per hour ÷ number of booths × service rate

For ticket counter

= 180 ÷  2 ×  (1 ÷ .75)

= 180 ÷  2 × 1.33

= 67.67

= 68 %

For  refreshment counter

= 180 × 0.85 ÷  8 × (1 ÷ 3)

= 153 ÷  2.64

= 57.95

= 58%

b)capacity is

= no. of resources ÷ processing time

= 2+8 ÷ 45+180

= 10 ÷ 225

= 0.044

= 0.04 customer per second

= 144 customer per hour

The flow rate of customer per hour is 144 customer

c) 1 resource added to ticket booth is

= 11 ÷ 225

= 0.048

= 176 customer per hour
