- Seas Beginning sells clothing by mail order. An important question is when to strike a customer from the companys mailing list. At present, the company strikes a customer from its mailing list if a customer fails to order from six consecutive catalogs. The company wants to know whether striking a customer from its list after a customer fails to order from four consecutive catalogs results in a higher profit per customer. The following data are available: If a customer placed an order the last time she received a catalog, then there is a 20% chance she will order from the next catalog. If a customer last placed an order one catalog ago, there is a 16% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order two catalogs ago, there is a 12% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order three catalogs ago, there is an 8% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order four catalogs ago, there is a 4% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order five catalogs ago, there is a 2% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. It costs 2 to send a catalog, and the average profit per order is 30. Assume a customer has just placed an order. To maximize expected profit per customer, would Seas Beginning make more money canceling such a customer after six nonorders or four nonorders?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.There are two companies manufacturing drones. Company A manufactures mass market drones, while company B manufactures customised drones according to customers’ requirements. In 2020, company A produces 3,200 drones, 3% of which were found to be defective and cannot pass the quality check. Company A employs 5 workers working an average of 8 hours a day in the drone production, and they worked 200 working days in 2020.In contrast, company B produces 900 drones, 10% of which were found to be defective and cannot pass the quality check. Company B employs 3 workers working an average of 6 hours a day in the drone production, and they worked 170 days in 2020. (a) If the drone manufacturing is seen as a process, what is considered as the output of the production processes of companies A and B and why? (b) Measure the single-factor manpower productivity for the two companies. (c) Is it reasonable to compare the manpower productivity of the two companies and reach a conclusion that one company…
- Thomas has eight horses averaging 1,400 pounds. They are on 20 acres of orchard grass and clover. Each year, Thomas applied 30-30-30 units of fertilizer per acre using 46-0-0 urea at $408 per ton, 18-46-0 DAP at $496 per ton, and 0-0-60 muriate of potash at $506 per ton. He reseeded with 10 pounds per acre of orchard grass at $1.19 per pound and 2 pounds per acre of clover at $3.18 per pound. The horses are housed in a barn 34 feet wide with stalls 12 by 12 feet on each side and a 10-foot aisle down the center. He needs at least one fifth of the barn, not including the center, for hay and tack room. What did it cost to fertilize and reseed the pasture? How long must he barn be in even number of feet?) Creative Sports Design (CSD) manufactures a standard-size racket and an oversize racket.The firm’s rackets are extremely light due to the use of a magnesium-graphite alloy that wasinvented by the firm’s founder. Each standard-size racket uses 0.125 kilograms of the alloy andeach oversize racket uses 0.4 kilograms; over the next two-week production period only 80kilograms of the alloy are available. Each standard-size racket uses 10 minutes of manufacturingtime and each oversize racket uses 12 minutes. The profit contributions are $10 for eachstandard-size racket and $15 for each oversize racket, and 40 hours of manufacturing time areavailable each week. Management specified that at least 20% of the total production must be thestandard-size racket. How many rackets of each type should CSD manufacture over the next twoweeks to maximize the total profit contribution? Assume that because of the unique nature oftheir products, CSD can sell as many rackets as they can produce.4) The making of rivet holes in structural steel members can be done by 2 methods. The first method consists of laying out the position of the holes in the members and using a drill press costing P100k. The machinist is paid P60 per hour and he can drill 80 holes per hour. The second method makes use of a multiple-punch machine costing P80k. The punch operator is paid P40 an hour and he can punch out 1 hole for 3 seconds. This method also requires an expense of P1.25 per hole to set the machine. (a) if all other costs are assumed equal, what is the total cost for each machine for 10k holes, assuming the total cost of each machine to be charged to these holes? (b) for how many holes will the costs be equal?
- A company makes parts that cost $35.00 in material and labor. 92% of the parts are produced defect free and are sold for full price at $110 each. 2% of the parts made must be scrapped. Scrap parts are sold for $8.00 each. The remaining 6% of the parts made must be reworked at a cost of $12.00 each. After rework 1% still must be scrapped and the other 5% is sold at a discounted price of $90 each. a. Draw the tree diagram showing the quality cost situation. b. Determine the earnings per part. c. Determine the cost of poor quality (COPQ). d. Determine the earnings per part and COPQ if the rework operation was shut down and the parts that required reworking were just sold for scrap instead.Some citizens complained to city council members that there should be equal protection under the law against the occurrence of crimes. The citizens argued that this equal protection should be interpreted as indicating that high-crime areas should have more police protection than low-crime areas. Therefore, police patrols and other methods for preventing crime (such as street lighting or cleaning up abandoned areas and buildings) should be used proportionately to crime occurrence. The city has been broken down into 20 geographic areas, each containing 5,000 residences. The police recognize that not all crimes and offenses are reported: people do not want to become involved, consider the offenses too small to report, are too embarrassed to make a police report, or do not take the time, among other reasons. Every month, because of this, the police are contacting by phone a random sample of 800 of the 5,000 residences for data on crime. (Respondents are guaranteed anonymity.)

- A retail store sold in the month of April 5,000 products that produced $45,000 in sales. In the month of May the company sold 6,000 products. The store workforce consists of four full-time workers who work 40-hour week. In April the store also had seven part-time workers at 10 hours per week, and in May the store had nine part-timers at 15 hours per week (assume four weeks in each month). Using sales dollars as the measure of output (assume the price of the product was the same for both months), what is the percentage change in labor productivity from April to May? Answer: 2.Sapphire Farm is a business that trains and boards horses and educates young riders about horse care, nutrition, and riding. The farm provides both a learning and a fun environment for young equestrians and their families. It also hosts horse shows for beginning riders to help them build confidence in the show ring and to prepare them for local horse shows by running shows in accordance with the rules and regulations of the National Hunter Jumper Association. Feedback from the horseshow judges are provided to all riders so they can do better at their next meet. In addition, all warm-up and training areas are fenced and monitored by adults for the children's safety. If the farm unintentionally hired someone to teach riding who was unable to deal effectively with small children, then a _____ would occur. A. service divergence B. quality underperformance C. performance breakdown D. product variation E. customer aberrationDigital Controis, Inc. (DCI), manufactures two models of a radar gun used by police to monitor the speed of automobiles. Model A has an accuracy of plus or minus 1 mile per hour, whereas the smaller model B has an accuracy of plus or minus 3 miles per hour. For the next week, the company has orders for 100 units of model A and 150 units of model B. Although DCI purchases all the electronic components used in both models, the plastic cases for both models are manufactured at a DCI plant in Newark, New Jersey. Each model A case requires 4 minutes of injection-molding time and 6 minutes of assembly time. Each model B case requires 3 minutes of injection-molding time and 8 minutes of assembly time. For next week, the Newark plant has 600 minutes of injection-molding time avallable and 1,080 minutes of assembly time availab The manufacturing cost is $10 per case for model A and $6 per case for model B. Depending upon demand and the time avalable at the Newark plant, DCI occasionally…
