Assume a company needs to produce 60 units of product A and 30 units of product B each day. The firm operates using Lean practices. Also assume the firm has reduced setup times to negligible values. Which of the following would be the best strategy for the company to follow to produce these units?
Select one:
a.
30 units of A, then 30 units of B, then 30 units of A
b.
4 units of A, 2 units of B, 4 units of A, 2 units of B, and so on until all units are produced
c.
30 units of B, then 60 units of A
d.
2 units of A, 1 unit of B, 2 units of A, 1 unit of B, and so on until all units are produced
e.
60 units of A, then 30 units of B
1. the storage of inventory.
This is not a value adding activity as it does not add value to the product and is only a practice to preserving the value of a product until it is moved for distribution.

Assume that a firm has a fixed-proportions production function, in which one unit of output is produced using one worker and two units of capital. If the firm has an extra worker, say two workers, and no more capital, it still can produce only one unit of output. Similarly, an extra unit of capital does the firm no good.a) Draw the isoquants for this production function.b) Draw the total product, average product, and marginal product of labor curves (you will...
