A Systematic Approach to Long-Term Capacity Planning - Purple Swift manufactures birdhouses in lots of 10. Each birdhouse takes

45 minutes to paint. After 10 birdhouses are painted, the company switches paint color which requires a 1-hour changeover. The company works 8 hours per shift, one shift per day, 220 days per year. Currently the company has one paint booth. What is Purple Swift’s paint capacity cushion if it builds 2,000 birdhouses per year?

Answer:

3.4%

Explanation:

The computation of the  Purple Swift’s paint capacity cushion is shown below:

Time to paint 10 birdhouses (45 × 10 ÷ 60) 7.5 hours

Changeover time  1 hours

Total Operations time per lot (7.5 + 1) 8.5 hours

Hours available per year (8 × 220)   1760  

Capacity (number of lots each year) (1760 ÷ 8.5) 207.06  

Capacity (number of birdhouses each year) =207.06*10 2070.6  

Actual Production given 2000  

Utilization (2000 ÷ 2070.6) 96.6%  

Capacity cushion = 100% - Utilization

= 100% - 96.6%

= 3.4%

grin007 [14]

Answer:

a. PV        =  $10,299.02

b. PV        =  $36,226.63

c. PV        =   $14,797.46

d. PV        =   $24,794.88

Explanation:

To solve this question, we use present value formula

           PV          =  C/(1+r)^n

Where PV          = Present value of a lump sum

              C         = Future amount to be discounted

               r          = Interest rate

               n         = Number of years

             

a.            PV        =  C/(1+r)^n

               C         = $25,500

               r          = 12%

               n         =  8

             PV        = $25,500 /(1+12%)^8

             PV        = $25,500 /(1+0.12)^8

             PV        = $25,500 /(1.12)^8

             PV        = $25,500 /2.475963176

              PV        = $10,299.02231

              PV        = $10,299.02

b.            PV        = C/(1+r)^n

               C         = $58,000

               r          =  4%

               n         =  12

             PV        =  $58,000 /(1+4%)^12

             PV        =  $58,000 /(1+0.04)^12

             PV        =  $58,000 /(1.04)^12

             PV        =   $58,000 /1.601032219

              PV        =  $36,226.62888

              PV        =  $36,226.63

c.            PV        = C/(1+r)^n

               C         = $25,000

               r          =  6%

               n         =  9

             PV        =  $25,000 /(1+6%)^9

             PV        =  $25,000 /(1+0.06)^9

             PV        =  $25,000 /(1.06)^9

             PV        =  $25,000 /1.689478959

              PV        = $14,797.46159

              PV        = $14,797.46

c.            PV        = C/(1+r)^n

               C         = $35,000

               r          =  9%

               n         =  4

             PV        =  $35,000 /(1+9%)^4

             PV        =  $35,000 /(1+0.09)^4

             PV        =  $35,000 /(1.09)^4

             PV        =  $35,000 /1.41158161

              PV        = $24,794.88239

              PV        = $24,794.88

In this management style, executives pay casual, unplanned visits to staff in their work areas to understand their work environment, experience first hand their status reports instead of waiting for them to be delivered to their office. Management by walking around fosters a better work environment through better communication, a hands-on experience of the conditions of the workplace by managers as well as quick and effective problem solving.
