Question

Bisutti Cams is producing its Racing Camshaft models RC1 and RC2. It is a three-state process that involves collecting the appropriate items from inventory, assembling, and then inspecting them. Bisutti Cams is making its labor estimates for the next four quarters for the collecting, assembling and inspecting operations. The RC1 requires 5 hours of labor and the RC2 requires 2 hours. The collecting process uses 20% of its labor resources, the assembling uses 70%, and the inspecting uses 10%. The production schedule for the next four quarters is given below.

Calculate the labor hours required in the collecting, assembling, and inspecting processes for the next four quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Labor Hours required in the Four Quarters

Quarter

Endproduct 1 2 3 4

RC I 100 120 200 140

No of Hours Required 5 5 5 5

Total Hours Required 500 600 1000 700

Step 1 ) We multiply number of hours with the products in each quarter to get the total hours required.

RC 2 200 250 150 100

No of Hours Required 2 2 2 2

Total Hours Required For R2 400 500 300 200

Step 2) We find the collecting, assembling, and inspecting hours by applying the percentages to each quarter hour.
