A company is evaluating 3 different distribution plans for a new product. The company has developed best case (60% probability) and worst case (40% probability) estimates for each plan. Results are summarized in the table below. What is the optimal decision based on the maximum expected value criterion? Worst Best Plan 1 -2 10 Plan 2 3 6 Plan 3 4 5 Prob 0.4 0.6

Consider the following cost matrix: No probabilities are known for the occurrence of the nature states. Compare the solutions obtained by each of the following criteria: (a) Laplace (b) Maximin(Minimax) (c) Savage (d) Hurwitz (assume that alpha = 0.8)
Data in the matrix below indicates COST expected from 3 alternatives under 4 states of nature. Determine which alternative is dominant using With and Without Probability (use a = 0.3 and probability of: 30%; 20%; 40% & 10% for S1, S2, S3, and 54 respectively): Which alternative is best using Expected Value?

A distribution company purchases two parts from the same supplier. When the company places an order there is a common procurement cost of $1750, in addition to $300 (Product I) and $100 (Product II) of individual procurement costs. Product I has a weekly demand of 500 units with a standard deviation of 50 units, Product I values $200, target CSL is 94%, and lead time is one month. Product II has a weekly demand of 60 units with a standard deviation of 15 units, each Product II values $1200, target CSL is 99%, and lead time is 3 months. The company uses 24% as the inventory holding rate per year (1 year is 52 weeks or 12 months) • Assuming each product is individually ordered using periodic review policy, compute T*, M*, and TC of Product I and II individually. . Assuming these products are jointly replenished, what will be the T*, M₁, M₁, TC? What is the amount of savings when products are jointly ordered compared to individual ordering?
