ProcessActivity Analysisfor a Service Company
Statewide Insurance Company has a process for making payments on insurance claims as follows:
An activity analysis revealed that the cost of these activities was as follows:
Line Item Description | Amount |
---|---|
Receiving claim | $102,600 |
Adjusting claim | 444,600 |
Paying claim | 136,800 |
Total | $684,000 |
This process includes only the cost of processing the claim payments, not the actual amount of the claim payments. The adjusting activity involves verifying and estimating the amount of the claim and is variable to the number of claims adjusted.
The process received, adjusted, and paid 7,600 claims during the period. All claims were treated identically in this process.
To improve the cost of this process, management has determined that claims should be segregated into two categories. Claims under $1,000 and claims greater than $1,000: claims under $1,000 would not be adjusted but would be accepted upon the insured's evidence of claim. Claims above $1,000 would be adjusted. It is estimated that 75% of the claims are under $1,000 and would thus be paid without adjustment. It is also estimated that the additional effort to segregate claims would add 10% to the "receiving claim" activity cost.
Question Content Area
a. Develop a table showing the percent of individual activity cost to the total process cost.Round the percents to the nearest whole number, if required.

Lean as a Strategy
The American textile industry has moved much of its operations offshore in the pursuit of lower labor costs. Textile imports have risen from under 5% of all textile production in the early 1960s to over 95% today. Offshore manufacturers make long runs of standard mass-market apparel items. These are then brought to the United States in container ships, requiring significant time between original order and delivery. As a result, retail customers must accurately forecast market demands for imported apparel items.
A textile retailer wishes to match the trend in the market and bring in new products before the competitor introduces the same. Whom should he approach and identify the reason for your answer. a. Domestic manufacturer. b. Offshore manufacturer.
ab
Reason: a. Domestic manufacturers can be reached quickly and make small batches of orders which will be delivered within the short time. b. Offshore manufacturers are cheap and large quantities can be ordered. c. Offshore manufacturers are not the trend setters and the fashion may not be same to order a large quantity at a time. d. None of the above.

Lean Principles
Drip Wear Inc. manufactures various styles of men's casual wear. Shirts are cut and assembled by a workforce that is paid by piece rate. This means that they are paid according to the amount of work completed during a period of time. To illustrate, if the piece rate is $0.10 per sleeve assembled, and the worker assembles 800 sleeves during the day, then the worker would be paid $80 (800 $0.10) for the day's work.
The company is considering adopting a lean manufacturing philosophy by organizing work cells around various types of products and employing pull manufacturing. However, no change is expected in the compensation policy. On this point, the manufacturing manager stated the following:
"Piecework compensation provides an incentive to work fast. Without it, the workers will just goof off and expect a full day's pay. We can't pay straight hourly wagesat least not in this industry."
A garment company was following piece rate system for its employees and suddenly lean manufacturing system was introduced. The company wishes to continue with the same piece rate system. Identify the statement that suits the given situation.
a.A piece rate system is an effective system to improve productivity and it also supports the philosophy of lean manufacturing.
b.A piece rate system is a traditional method that is not suitable for the lean manufacturing system. Because the piece rate system increases the inventory rather than efficiency.
c.A piece rate system makes the employees specialized in the job.
d.A piece rate system is more effective to support the market demand.

This process includes only the cost of processing the claim payments, not the actual amount of the claim payments. The adjusting activity involves verifying and estimating the amount of the claim and is variable to the number of claims adjusted. The process received, adjusted, and paid 7,600 claims during the period. All claims were treated identically in this process. To improve the cost of this process, management has determined that claims should be segregated into two categories. Claims under $1,000 and claims greater than $1,000: claims under $1,000 would not be adjusted but would be accepted upon the insured's evidence of claim. Claims above $1,000 would be adjusted. It is estimated that 75% of the claims are under $1,000 and would thus be paid without adjustment. It is also estimated that the additional effort to segregate claims would add 10% to the "receiving claim" activity cost. Question Content Area a. Develop a table showing the percent of individual activity cost to the total process cost.Round the percents to the nearest whole number, if required.
