THE CASE OF THE CORONA BOTTLING COMPANY Filling bottles is a critical process for this industry Underfilling: serious liability issues, customer dissatisfaction, loss of customer confidence and patronage Overfilling: inefficient use of resources, safety issues Estimated Costs of Bad Quality: cost of cost of unde $0.65/bottle THE BOTTLING PROCESS: Production rate25,000 bottles/day (the bottling plant operates 250 days per year) The bottling machine should be calibrated to deliver 55 milliliters per Corona bottle (12 oz) Specification for drink content per bottle (in mililiters) arget The process is statistically in control, by the way A RANDOM SAMPLE FROM CURRENT PROCESS OPERATION x Coron Corom fill volume, 6354.4594693 27 353.5929013 28 354.4016362 29 354.5779288 30 353.9304311 354.5525916 32 354.5584806 33 354.7999299 34 354.8116021 35 354.3821092 6 354.1129564 37 354.1465841 38 354.5306023 354.398041 40 353.9797865 353.9891102 42 354.4802343 354.803419 44 354.9496251 5353.9726704 6354.4776288 47 354.9113356 8 354.5001137 49354.9210082 50 354.0288673 354.8204673 355.0388712 354.1800182 354.1782361 354.6881873 354.436332 354.6864668 354.5961229 353.978646 354.4292954 354.4402367 354.2168896 354.7452614 353.8289171 353.700319 354.3620771 354.4861241 354.107428 354.0195902 355.0032454 354.7196983 354.814731 354.395204 354.828201 354.2184187 354.2366 1 354.4486607 2 354.1562424 3 355.0888824 354.313711 5 354.6831301 354.655678 7354.2829729 8 354.9606685 9 354.7104572 10 354.4656689 11 354.4498612 12 354.5266241 13 354.2879934 14 354.2452874 15 354.9705039 16 354.5181723 17 354.7105502 18 354.1452372 19 353.5929013 353.867073 21 354.1695976 22 354.5401998 23 354.3662809 24 354.6100664 25 354.5526171 52 53 54 354.4128 354.2121 354.1677 354.5265 81 354.0835 82 354.2933 354.7237 84 354.027 354.1814 86 355.1078 87 353.8905 88 354.8874 89 354.4094 354.6214 91 354.1889 354.3151 93 354.6419 94 354.3876 354.2668 96 354.7192 97 354.2246 354.3672 354.5761 100 354.7186 58 59 43 70 74 75Explanation / Answer
.
For Rauniar,
Energy partial productivity in 2011 = output /energy = 300000/10000 = 30
Energy partial productivity in 2012 = output /energy = 330000/9000 = 36.66
Thus,
% change in Energy partial productivity = (36.66 – 30) / 30 = 22.2% change
B.
For Rauniar,
Labor partial productivity in 2011 = output /Labor employed = 300000/40000 = 7.5
Labor partial productivity in 2012 = output /Labor employed = 330000/43000 = 7.67
% change in Labor partial productivity = (7.67 – 7.5) / 7.5 = 2.267% change
