Dear Sir,
I would like to ask about THIN CO (Q5, June 2001), part (b), where we need to calculate the optimum product mix (production plan.
As the answer starts with ranking the TAR’s of each procedure – that’s cool. But then we have the columns: ‘Name’: (B,A,C), then ‘Number’: 800, 600, 504 for procedure B, A and C respectively. Where are these numbers coming from? Could I get the answer, plese?
MonikaI am sorry, but throughput accounting was not even in the syllabus in June 2001!
(and there was no question called ‘Thin’ in the equivalent paper to F5 in the June 2001 exam – it was 14 years ago!)
I have made a little mistake – it is long question from June 2011, and it is called THIN CO.
It is in my Question Bank book, and I study in First Intuition in Dublin at the moment. So now I wonder where did they take that task from???? Must be strange one…..Well now you say that it was in June 2011 (and not June 2001!) I have found it 🙂
B is best, but note 5 of the question says that the maximum demand is 800, so they will not produce more than that.
So they then produce the next best which is A, but again there is maximum demand of 600, so that is what they will produce.That only leaves 630 hours left and they will use these to make C. C takes 1.25 hours per procedure and so they will produce 504 C’s
Hope that helps 🙂
