In 1952 Blayney Scott and his wife Almeda started a small company in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada that pioneered the use of plastics in the manufacturing of marine products. Scotty Manufacturing has evolved to produce thousands of products under the Scotty Trademark which are sold into the fishing, marine, outdoor and firefighting industries worldwide. To manage production costs, Scotty is considering implementing a JIT production system. The following are the estimated costs and benefits of JIT production: - Annual additional tooling costs would be $400,000 - Annual inventory would decline by 80 percent from the current level of $4,000,000 - Insurance, material handling, and set-up costs which currently total $1,200,000 annually, would decline by 25% - Rework would be reduced by 30 percent. Scotty currently incurs $800,000 in annual rework costs. Improved product quality under JIT production would enable Scotty to raise the price of its products by $8 per unit. Scotty sells 80,000 units per year. Scotty's required rate of return is 15 percent per year. Required: Submit your written answers from the multi-choice question here for Scotty Manufacturing.
