“As soon as the customer places an Order, it is received by the Sales department and a Sales Order is created. The Sales Order is sent to the Finance Department to check if the customer has any outstanding balance for more than 60 days. The AR Clerk at the Finance Department checks and sends the results back to the Sales Department. If there is an outstanding balance for more than 60 days, the Sales Department puts the Order on hold and notifies the customer. Otherwise, the Order Entry Clerk creates an Order Confirmation and sends it to the customer. Simultaneously a Picking List is generated and sent to the Order Fulfilment Department who picks up the next set of process steps. The Order Fulfilment Department receives the Picking List and determines which Warehouse is closest to the Customer location. The Picking List is sent to that Warehouse location. There, the items from the Picking List are picked. An Invoice is generated and printed. The items are packed along with the printed…
A manufacturer has a production facility that requires 10,237 units of component JY21 per year.
Following a long-term contract, the manufacturer purchases component JY21 from a supplier with
a lead time of 6 days. The unit purchase cost is $31.4 per unit. The cost to place and process an
order from the supplier is $168 per order. The unit inventory carrying cost per year is 12.2 percent
of the unit purchase cost. The manufacturer operates 250 days a year. Assume EOQ model is
appropriate. If the manufacturer uses a constant order quantity of 1,053 units per order, what is
the annual holding cost?
Use at least 4 decimal places.

- 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.arrow_forwardA swim club is designing a new pool to replace its old pool. The new pool would need to last for 10 years since the club is planning on relocating after 10 years. A concrete shell would cost $85,000 and last for all 10 years. Another option is to install a vinyl liner that would cost only $70,000 to install. However, the vinyl is not guaranteed to last for all 10 years, and it has a 40% chance of breaking down. Repair of the vinyl would cost $40,000 and would extend the life of the vinyl liner to the 10-year mark. If both options are acceptable to the swim club, which one minimizes cost?

- Barbara Flynn sells papers at a newspaper stand for $0.40. The papers cost her $0.30, giving her a $0.10 profit on each one she sells. From past experience Barbara knows that: a) 20% of the time she sells 150 papers. b) 20% of the time she sells 200 papers. c) 30% of the time she sells 250 papers. d) 30% of the time she sells 300 papers. Assuming that Barbara believes the cost of a lost sale to be $0.05 and any unsold papers cost her $0.30 and she orders 250 papers. Use the following random numbers: 14, 4, 13, 9, and 25 for simulating Barbara's profit. (Note: Assume the random number interval begins at 01 and ends at 00.) Based on the given probability distribution and the order size, for the given random number Barbara's sales and profit are (enter your responses for sales as integers and round all profit responses to two decimal places): Random Number Sales Profit 14 4 13 9 25arrow_forwardA health insurance policy pays 70 percent of physical therapy costs after a $200 deductible.

An independent contractor for a transportation company needs to determine whether she should upgrade the vehicle she currently owns or trade her vehicle in to lease a new vehicle. If she keeps her vehicle, she will need to invest in immediate upgrades that cost $5,200 and it will cost $1,300 per year to operate at the end of year that follows. She will keep the vehicle for 5 years; at the end of this period, the upgraded vehicle will have a salvage value of $3,800. Alternatively, she could trade in her vehicle to lease a new vehicle. She estimates that her current vehicle has a trade-in value of $9,800 and that there will be $4,100 due at lease signing. She further estimates that it will cost $2,900 per year to lease and operate the vehicle. The independent contractor's MARR is 11%.

- A young computer engineer has $12,000 to invest and three different investment options (funds) to choose from. Type 1 guaranteed investment funds offer an expected rate of return of 7%, Type 2 mixed funds (part is guaranteed capital) have an expected rate of return of 8%, while an investment on the Stock Exchange involves an expected rate of return of 12%, but without guaranteed investment capital. Computer engineer has decided not to invest more than $2,000 on the Stock Exchange in order to minimize the risk. Moreover for tax reasons, she needs to invest at least three times more in guaranteed investment funds than in mixed funds. Assume that at the end of the year the returns are those expected; she is trying to determine the optimum investment amounts. (a) Express this problem as a linear programming model with two decision variables.(b) Solve the problem with the graphical solution procedure and define the optimum solution.arrow_forwardAn airline studied the data from their passenger records and noted that their customers turn up only about 95% of the time.
