3a) | Compute the unit throughput margin for each product. | |||||||
i. Pool Shade | ii. Trellis | |||||||
3b) | Assume that the powder coating process is the binding constraint and that additional capacity is difficult or too costly to purchase, | |||||||
determine which product Chandler Corp. should conside making first. Explain how/why you came to this conclusion. Also show your | ||||||||
computations (3 decimal places) to support your conclusion. | ||||||||
3c) | Assume the that powder coating process is the binding constraint, and that additional capacity is difficult or too costly to purchase, | |||||||
determine what mix of products should be made with the existing excess capacity. | ||||||||
Pool | ||||||||
Shades | Trellises | |||||||
3d) | Determine the incremental throughput margin Chandler Corp. would earn if they sold the mix determined in 3c | |||||||
(show computations). | ||||||||
