- Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. Is Ben Gibson acting legally? Is he acting ethically? Why or why not?Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner.

As the Marketing Manager for Southeastern Corrugated, what would you do upon receiving the request for quotation from Coastal Products?The Tinkan Company produces one-pound cans for the Canadian salmon industry. Each year the salmon spawn during a 24-hour period and must be canned immediately. Tinkan has the following agreement with the salmon industry. The company can deliver as many cans as it chooses. Then the salmon are caught. For each can by which Tinkan falls short of the salmon industrys needs, the company pays the industry a 2 penalty. Cans cost Tinkan 1 to produce and are sold by Tinkan for 2 per can. If any cans are left over, they are returned to Tinkan and the company reimburses the industry 2 for each extra can. These extra cans are put in storage for next year. Each year a can is held in storage, a carrying cost equal to 20% of the cans production cost is incurred. It is well known that the number of salmon harvested during a year is strongly related to the number of salmon harvested the previous year. In fact, using past data, Tinkan estimates that the harvest size in year t, Ht (measured in the number of cans required), is related to the harvest size in the previous year, Ht1, by the equation Ht = Ht1et where et is normally distributed with mean 1.02 and standard deviation 0.10. Tinkan plans to use the following production strategy. For some value of x, it produces enough cans at the beginning of year t to bring its inventory up to x+Ht, where Ht is the predicted harvest size in year t. Then it delivers these cans to the salmon industry. For example, if it uses x = 100,000, the predicted harvest size is 500,000 cans, and 80,000 cans are already in inventory, then Tinkan produces and delivers 520,000 cans. Given that the harvest size for the previous year was 550,000 cans, use simulation to help Tinkan develop a production strategy that maximizes its expected profit over the next 20 years. Assume that the company begins year 1 with an initial inventory of 300,000 cans.
- Assume the demand for a companys drug Wozac during the current year is 50,000, and assume demand will grow at 5% a year. If the company builds a plant that can produce x units of Wozac per year, it will cost 16x. Each unit of Wozac is sold for 3. Each unit of Wozac produced incurs a variable production cost of 0.20. It costs 0.40 per year to operate a unit of capacity. Determine how large a Wozac plant the company should build to maximize its expected profit over the next 10 years.Global Logistics needs to rent space for storing product for the next three years. The following information regarding the demand and spot price is available. Current demand for the product is 150,000. Historically, Global Logistics has required 1500 square feet to store 1500 units of the product. Demand for the product can go up by 20% with a probability of 0.7 or down by 20% with a probability of 0.3. Global Logistics can sign a three-year fixed lease to rent 150,000 square feet of space at $1.00 per square foot per year. The firm may also choose to obtain warehousing space on the spot market. The current spot market price is $1.20 per square foot per year. The spot price can go up by 10% with a probability of 0.8 and can decrease by 10% with a probability of 0.2. The firm receives a revenue of $1.22 for each unit of demand. a) Create a decision tree showing period 0, 1 and 2 for the scenario described above. b) Calculate the NPV for the option when the firm decides to sign a…for managing its data processing operation: continuing with its own staff, hiring an outside vendor to do the managing (referred to as outsourcing), or using a combination of its own staff and an outside vendor.

DEMAND STAFFING OPTIONS HIGH MEDIUM LOW Own Staff 650 650 600 Outside Vendor 900 600 300 Combination 800 650 500 Based on decision analysis under uncertainty, determine the best decision each of the model.

You estimate labor cost to be $300.00 (5 booths with 2 people each). Even if nothing is sold, your labor cost will be $300.00, so you decide to consider this a fixed cost. Booth rental, which is a contractual cost at $50.00 for each booth per night, is also a fixed cost. a) Based on the information available, the per night break-even point in dollars for the St. Cloud Theatre Company = $633.640 (round your response to two decimal places).Revenue Management / Yield Management is used when the following conditions exist: Uncertainty in demand and customer behavior (no-show, cancellation) + non-perishable goods Uncertainty in demand and customer behavior + backordering allowed Fixed Capacity + Perishable Inventory (hence, opportunity cost) + Advanced Booking (or sales) None of the aboveHERO Corporation is considering three options for managing its data processing operation: continuing with its own staff, hiring an outside vendor to do the managing (referred to as outsourcing), or using a combination of its own staff and an outside vendor.

There are currently 5 workers assigned to the production line, each capable of producing approximately 8 units per month. It is assumed that each month has the same number of production days. They can hire more workers at a hiring and training cost of $800 per worker. If they layoff any workers, the unemployment cost is $2,000 per worker. The product has a standard production cost (labor, material, and overhead) of $300 per unit. The extra cost to produce one unit on overtime is $50 and the maximum overtime is two units per month per worker. They can use inventory but it will cost them $25 per unit per month for any unit in inventory at the end of the month. Failure to meet market demand typically will imply the customer will buy from another supplier, and therefore cost the company $100 in profit. They currently have 0 units in inventory. a.
