Question 1 worth 10 points Identify each activity as nonrecu

Question 1 (worth 10 points):

Identify each activity as non-recurring (NRE) or recurring (RE) tasks for a production process.

-Designing a die for an injection molding machine.

-Incoming material inspection costs.

-Setting up the part number in the inventory system.

-Writing an inspection program for a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) for inspecting parts.

-Hourly rate for the injection molding worker that runs the machine.

-Filling out the production workorder paper with each batch.

-The buyer ordering material for the first time build.

-Packaging parts for shipment to the customer.

-Ordering custom cutting tools for the first build.

-Removing flash from the parts with a burr knife.

Solution

1) Designing a die for an injection molding machine for a specific job is done only once. the same die is used repeteadly to reproduce the same product. Hence it is an non-recurring actitvity (NRE).

2) Inspection of the incoming material is done only once. Assuming that all the material required for production is procured at a time. Hence, it is an non-recurring activity (NRE).

3) Identifying the materials required for the assembly and assigning the part numbers to individual items will be done once. Hence, setting up the part number in the inventory system is non-recurring activity (NRE).

4) An inspection program for a CMM is written separately for different parts. Hence, it is a recurring activity (RE).

5) The hourly rate for a injection molding worker running the machine doesn\' change. Hence, it is a recurring activity (RE).

6) The production workorder paper for a batch is filled only once.Hence, it is non-recurring activity (NRE).

7) The buyer ordering material for the first time build for a specific product will be done only once.If a new order comes, purchase will be initiated accordingly. Hence, it is non-recurring activity (NRE).

8) The shipment of finished part to the customer will be done once. Hence, it is non-recurring activity (NRE).

9) The cutting tools are customed to the required product. Ordering the tools for the first build is done once.  Hence, it is non-recurring activity (NRE).

10) The parts are finished by removing the burrs. this activity is done once for a part.  Hence, it is non-recurring activity (NRE).
