For the month, the division expects to make 11,200 deliveries to deliver 1,120,000 cartons to customers.\

OFC Company has decided to implement a kaizen (continuous-improvement) program to enhance operational efficiency. After a careful study, management and employees agree that the firm will be able to reduce cost rates for batch-level activities by 2% and unit-level activities (other than Storage) by 1% per month during the first year of the program starting February 2019. The firm has decided to delay the implementation of the program for customer-sustaining and facility-level activities until 2020. The firm expects the amount of cost-driver usage in each of the next two months to be the same as those in January.
