Research findings:
R.1: Things to consider inside the shift scheduling function.
R.1.1: We want to lower employee turnover through increasing job satisfaction by:
R.1.2: Prefer stable or flexible work shift (full-time AM, full-time PM, full-time night, swing, PRN,
On-call).
R.2: We want these hours to work around the budget:
R.2.1: We want to consider wages. The average wage for a nurse at Texas Health Resources is $33.49
R.2.2: We want to consider retirement contributions. Texas Health Resources will match 6% of pay
to retirement savings. It will match up to $1.25 per $1 after 10 years of service.
R.2.3: Texas Health Resources provides a $50/month student loan repayment program, and tuition
reimbursement programs.
R.2.4: According to Texas Health Resources, benefits for the average employee are about 30% of
their pay. ($33.49 x 1.3)
These expenses add up to about $43.54 an hour for the average nurse working at this hospital.
Project details:
Topic: With the information we managed to gather, I would like to officially name our project “Optimizing
Shift Scheduling: A Texas Health Resources Crisis in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.”
Objective function: Still thinking about what the objective function could be with this information. We
will work on it in the meeting. I was thinking of using the shift as the variables and use salary and
benefits as part of the function.
Example:
Decision variables : Full-time AM (AM), Full-time PM (PM), Full-time NIGHT (N), Swing (S), PRN (PRN),
On-call (C).
Trial function: Max $43.54FT+$65.31OC+$33.49PRN
Constraints:
FT+OC<=3552
PRN+OC<=3552
OC<=170
PRN<=OC

A clothing factory can make three shoe types: A,B, and C. Their profits per shoe are, respectively,
$5, $4, and $3. Type A shoes require 4 pieces of leather, and 1 piece of cloth; type B shoes require
3 pieces of leather, and 2 pieces of cloth; type C shoes require 5 pieces of cloth. The factory
has 10,000 pieces of leather and 50,000 pieces of cloth available. Furthermore, the factory must
produce at least 500 units of each type of shoe.

2.1 You are tasked with planning of maintenance tasks at a water treatment facility. A
critical pump has failed unexpectedly, causing significant downtime. Meanwhile,
another pump of the same type has been operating without any issues. Illustrate using
a diagram the planning process that highlights the difference between a maintenance
task for an asset that has failed and a maintenance task that prevents failure from
occurring. (6)
2.2 You are the working at a power generation plant. Over the past six months, the plant
has experienced inconsistent performance from its critical assets, resulting in
occasional production losses. The maintenance team recently implemented a new
maintenance strategy to address this issue. Indicate the different methods to consider
when assessing the effectiveness of the maintenance strategy. (3)

Q5: A manager of an inventory system believes that inventory models are important decision making aids. Even though often using an EOQ policy, the manager never considered a backorder model because of the assumption that backorders were “bad” and should be avoided. However, with upper management’s continued pressure for cost reduction, you have been asked to analyze the economics of a backorder policy for some products that can possibly be backordered. For a specific product with D = 1200 units per year, Co = 160, = 4, and = 25, what is the difference in total annual cost between the EOQ model and the planned shortage or backorder model? If the manager adds constraints that no more than 25% of the units can be backordered and that no customer will have to wait more than 18 days for an order, should the backorder inventory policy be adopted? Assume 300 working days per year.
