Costing

No capital equipment is required as we already have one food processor, cookie trays and spoons.

One oven which holds one tray at a time. Electricity bill for oven is paid by landlord. Variable costs = cost of ingredient’s = $0.60 per dozen. Cost of box = $0.10 per box (each box holds a dozen cookie’s)

Time Analysis1) Take order – 0 min.

2) Washing and Mixing – 6 min & dishing up the cookie’s – 2 min / tray.

3) Put cookies in the oven and set the thermostat and timer – 1 min.

4) Baking – 9 min. Thus total baking time is 10 min.

5) Removing the tray and cooling it down – 5 min.

6) Packing – 2 min / dozen.

7) Accepting the payment – 1 min.

Process Flowchart

Q. How long will it take to fill the rush order?

- 26 min for one dozen.

Q. How much order can be filled in one night if we are open for 4 hours each night?

- 21 trays.

Q. How much of your own and roommate’s valuable time will it take to fill each order?

- Roommate = 4 min & Me = 8 min.

If 2 ovens are used

240 – 26 = 214 min. 214 / 8 = 26.75 = 27 dozens per day with two ovens. So, having 2 ovens increase the capacity from 60/10 = 6 dozen

per hour to 60/8 = 7.5 dozen per hour.
