Midat Gold juice
Written Executive Brief: Midas Gold Juice Company
Problems/Challenges:
The problem that Midas Gold Juice Company has is that the company should purchase new machine to produce more cans up to 40,000. It is not necessary to purchase stamping machine to double the tin shop level to 16,000.
Recommendations/Actions:
Based on the current juice produce capacity:
Base on the current produce level, we could see the current capacity level for producing can bodies are not balanced with other departments. Can bodies is not many enough so that to fill all of its juice. As the case mentioned, the company could produce 4,000 gallons on average, which could fill 40,000 cans per month. And one can need two lids, which is accurately satisfied by the tin department. The filling department could satisfy the produce department by 10,000 more filling capacity. The problem turns up being is that the tin department need extend its capacity to produce 40,000 can bodies per month instead of doubling the lids capacity.
Based on the demand of the market:
As long as the company could satisfy the market by providing 2,800 gallons juice per month, nothing is necessary to be changed. However, when the company needs to provide a range from 2,800 gallons to 4,000 gallons per month to satisfy the market demand, the capacity of producing cans bodies is the only thing that needs to be changed for the process balance (as I wrote above). Once the company decides to extend its market sells, and pull its sells equal 5,000 or more gallons per month. The require capacities for each department has exceeded than its current level. Thus, all the departments need to change their produce capacities to fit in the new process.

In March, April, and May will fire 4, 3, 3, employees respectively. By doing so, the labor costs are significantly reduced and the unit demand will be covered.

    HPI has focused its production of the one gallon metal cans in the two plants, in Los Angeles and Youngstown, Ohio. The summary information in Exhibit 1 shows the plant capacity, normal production, price and cost information. Currently, management believes that production costs are driven by volume; management’s goal is to meet competitive cost pressures by increasing volume and improving efficiency to bring costs down. For this reason, product costs are based on volume, as illustrated in Exhibit 1. The unit cost for the Los Angeles plant is $1.10, while the unit cost in the Youngstown plant is $1.00. The cost difference reflects the higher facilities cost at the Los Angeles plant, which is the newer of the two plants. The Los Angeles plant has similar equipment and manufacturing flow design to that of the Youngstown plant, but a key difference is that the Los Angeles plant was designed to be more efficient for…

    Assume that you have been hired by Marge McPhee to help with the three decisions she must make: (1) whether to produce on Sunday, (2) whether to produce any light-weight compressors, (3) how many of each compressor should be manufactured each week. You will recommend and justify a course of action for each decision. McPhee wants to make the right decision for herself and her division, which is treated as a profit center and evaluated based on profit as computed in Exhibit 2. However, the correct decision model and her best interests (in terms of short term performance measurement) may not agree. As an accountant, you must inform her of this inconsistency and explain it so that she can, in turn, explain it to owners or top management. Be sure to discuss all the assignment questions within your written analysis. You will need to determine the optimal volume and price to choose the correct production schedule. See Table 1.…

However, there are some inefficiencies in their process that must be addressed before they can meet their goals. One of their first problems is maintaining an even flow in their process environment. Due to the nature of the inspections and the cold weather in Iceland, they are much more busy in the summer that they are in the winter. This makes it difficult to keep the right amount of employees. There is little they can do to avoid this problem, but rather they should examine their historical data to determine how many employees they will need in order to meet expected customers during peak months.…
