Old plants are not running in loses
Construction of new plant begins in year 3 and it starts producing at
half its capacity in year 4
Depreciation is calculated from year 4 onwards

Cost per day of Gudalajara plant


Initial investment = $ 30,00,000
Fixed cost (depreciation) per day = 30,00,000/(10*360) = 833.33
Variable cost = 10*3600 = $ 36,000
Total cost = $ 36,833.33
Cost per unit = $36,833.33/3600 = $ 10.23
If per unit price of the product is more than $ 10.23 than Mapleleaf
shoul build Gudalajara plant

Concepts of OM involved in case


Demand forecasting: It is predicting future demand of the product
Utilization: Percentage of total capacity used for the production
Capacity planning : Process of determining the production capacity
needed by an organization to meet changing demand for its products
Transportation model: Model to decide optimal shipping plan by
minimizing cost of moving products from one place to another
Capacity: Maximum output that a system can produce
Downtime: The amount of time that a system fails to perform its
primary funtion
