The decisions that company co-manages make each year are organized around marketing, product design, assembly/shipping, compensation and labor force, and finance. The options that a company has for assembling enough cameras to meet peak-quarter order form retailers include hiring "temporary" PATs, the use of overtime, and outsourcing assembly to contact assemblers.

The capital cost of converting to robot-assisted camera assembly can increase a company's interest costs, to the extent that a portion of the capital costs are financed by bank loans. Robot-assisted assembly reduces total annual compensation costs per PAT and also reduces the overtime cost of assembling a camera. Installing robots at each camera workstation enables the size of PATs to be cut from 4 members to 3 members. Robot-assisted camera assembly boosts the annual productivity of camera PATs by 500 cameras per year. Robot-assisted camera assembly increases annual workstation maintenance costs. < Previous End Review Next> < Previous Question 3 ~ Next> Which one of the following is NOT a way to improve the P/Q rating of a company'sbrand of action- capture cameras?
