Question

Jiffy Lube wants to compare productivity at two locations. Location B completes157

oil changes for $40 per 8 hour day with a staff of 77and 44stalls. If the staff average pay rate is $15/hour, each equipped stall costs $40/day and all other costs are $300/day. What is the multifactor productivity at Location B closest to?

A.10

B.8

C.2

D.5

Please indicate the correct answer.

Consider Chapter 3, Problem 4 that was a homework problem dealing with the quality of Aspen Plastics bottle neck diameters. For randomly entered data, results were obtained as shown below 2 HW-04 Aspen Plastic (random data Inputs Solver-R and X-Bar Charts Enter data in yellow shaded areas alculate fro 0.5991 0.0355 r Manual Target 10 Average Range 11 Sample Size 12 14 LCL Factor, R 15 UCL Factor, R 16 CL Factor, X-bar 17 18 LCL, R chart UCL, R chart LCL, X-bar chart UCL, X-bar chart 0.0000 0.0810 0.5732 0.6250 2.282 0.729 For the data shown, the calculation of the Upper Control Limit for the R chart is equal to which of the following? O A. none of these B. -D9+D10"D16 O C. D10 D15 D. -2.282

Explanation / Answer

PLEASE FIND BELOW ANSWER TO FIRST QUESTION :

Total payment to staff for 8 hours

= $15/ hour for each worker x 8 hours per staff x 77 staff

= $9240

Total cost of stalls = $40 per day per stall x 44 stalls = $1760

Other costs = $ 300

Total cost

= Total payment to staff + Total cost of stalls + Other costs

= $9240 + $1760 + $300

= $11300

Total value of oil changes in 8 hour day

= 157 oil changes x $40 / change

= $6280

Therefore,

Multifactor productivity

= Total value of oil changes in 8 hours a day / Total cost

= $6280 / $11300

= 0.55 ( 0.5 rounded to 1 decimal place )

MULTIFACTOR PRODUCTIVITY AT LOCATION B IS CLOSEST TO : D) 0.5

MULTIFACTOR PRODUCTIVITY AT LOCATION B IS CLOSEST TO : D) 0.5
