    Thicket Wood Ltd. produces high-quality custom and handcrafted kitchen cabinets. They have a forecasted demand of two thousand kitchen cabinets this upcoming year. To meet this demand Mark Taylor operations manager must purchase a new or used CNC router machine and re-arrange his employees. Mark needs to re-arrange his employees to maximize the benefit of the CNC routing machine and meet the required demand of cabinets. There are six employees to re-arrange if he were to purchase the new CNC routing machine and seven employees to re-arrange if he choose to purchase the used CNC routing machine. To determine which machine he should invest in we have calculated the payback period for each option. It was determined that the new CNC routing machines payback period is three years, equivalent to the three years it is covered under warranty. The used CNC routing machine has a payback period of one year and eight months witch exceeds the warranty of one year. Mark decides to go with the new CNC routing machine form High Tech Inc. do to these calculations. We have also determined how many cabinets the production line can produce per year with the re-arranged line of six workers and the new CNC router machine. We know that working at maximum capacity is unrealistic therefore we have also determined how many cabinets we can produce at a lower production capacity. These calculations also help solve the second part of the main problem Thicket Wood is facing, meeting the demand of two thousand cabinets for the upcoming year. There are also sub problems which Thicket Wood will possibly face such as bottlenecks in the production line. As well as the implementation of the new CNC router machine which would then reclassify their product and require them to restructure their sales pitch.…

    Feb 2013 A. Explain the following four major components of cost of project…………. aug12,feb12 1. Material Cost 2. Utilities cost 3. Labor cost 4.Factory overhead cost Ans: 1.

The total requirement of various material inputs can be obtained by multiplying the requirements per unit of output with the expected output during the year. 3. The price of material inputs are defined in CIF (cost, insurance, freight) terms. 4. The present costs of various material input is considered. 5. If seasonal fluctuation in prices are regular, the same must be considered in estimating the cost of material inputs 2. Utilities cost: Utilities consists of power, water and fuel.
