d. The company should consider reassigning its inspectors so that more time and effort is spent
inspecting shipments of Dorkamine materials. If relatively few problems are associated with
the material used to make Caltrate, time currently spent inspecting Caltrate materials
would be better spent inspecting the Dorkamine materials. Moreover, if inferior raw
materials are identified before being placed into production, fewer postproduction
inspectors may be needed. In short, the company should (1) conduct more frequent and
careful inspections of Dorkamine materials, and (2) reassign inspectors from
postproduction responsibilities to preproduction responsibilities.
Allocation of postproduction cost pool:
Step 1: Establish the percent of the pool to be allocated
to each product line using the number of batches
produced as an activity base.
