Plastomer, Inc. specializes in the manufacture of high-grade plastic film used to wrap food products. Film is rejected and scrapped for a variety of reasons (e.g., opacity, high carbon content, incorrect thickness or gauge, scratches, and so on). During the past month, management collected data on the types of rejects and the amount of scrap generated by each type. The results are given in the following table. Compute percent of total amount for each type of failure to complete the table. (Enter your responses as percents rounded to one decimal place.)

CASE STUDY: STUDENT ADVISING DSS From (Jessup and Valacich, 2003) Good student advising for course selection is one way to help retain students. Student advising is a time consuming activity for faculty involved in the process and is particularly important for newly starting students. Also it is particularly difficult to schedule advising sessions for part-time students. A university developed and implemented a Web based system to help students select modules. The system is linked to the university-wide database of student records so that it can consider a list of all completed courses as well as student interests when making recommendations. The DSS (Decision Support System) adviser makes course suggestions while considering degree requirements, prerequisites, availability, and student interests. The system knows when courses will be offered and can analyse the transcript of transfer students…
You have been called in to review the defects found at a company that makes household cleaning liquid for their customers. The products consist of two different sizes: 16 and 24 oz products in plastic bottles with sprayers attached (see picture below). These products can be run on several different filling lines so management has had difficulty in trouble shooting to determine which defects to tackle, what size product and production line to address first and as a consultant, you've been asked to help with the decision making process. Company executives have provided you with the data listed below, of numbers and costs of different types of defects experienced in the most recent runs of the lines (assume that these defects are out of a recent sample taken from each line, all in the same time frame so they are sharing the same plant-wide conditions). You learned from Purchasing that the containers are purchased from 2 suppliers and the sprayers are purchased from 1 supplier. Labels…
