What is your company's Inventory Carrying Cost rate? (Ask your Director of Logistics or the CFO. If that's not possible, provide an estimation using all 4 categories presented in class.) Do you think it's an accurate computation, a good estimate or a not-even-close estimate? Recommend one action that should be taken to improve the accuracy of this number.

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1
