- 601 Ana Chavarria, front office manager at The Times Hotel, has completed a revenue management semi- nar at Keystone University and is preparing an argu- ment in favor of adopting this concept at The Times Hotel to present to Margaret Chu, the general man- ager. She begins by compiling a history of room occupancy and ADRS, which she hopes will reveal areas in which revenue management could help. She prepares an electronic spreadsheet that lists rooms sold with corresponding room rates and correlates the data to tourism activities in the area. Ana sends an analysis of revenue realized and revenue potential to Ms. Chu for review prior to their discussion After reviewing the analysis, Ms. Chu concludes, "This is just another scam; the industry is slow to adopt this," and disregards the entire report. She knows that occupancy percentage, ADR, and RevPAR are all you need to be efficient today, so why change?

The farm's engineering staff has researched the market and found 2 units that appear to meet their requirements. Truck # 1 has a cost of $37,000 and requires an annual maintenance cost of $2,700. At the end of its useful life (3 years), it is projected to have a salvage value of $5,000. On the other hand, Truck #2 has an initial cost of $40,000 and requires only $2,000 in annual operating costs because the manufacturer is claiming that some routine maintenance is covered in the price of the truck. Truck # 2 has an estimated salvage value of $8,000 at the end of its 4 year service life. The CEO has determined that the farm's MARR is 12%. The trucks are needed for 12 years according to the 2024 Strategic Plan. The Engineering Department has determined that no significant changes are needed in the future that would change prices and functional characteristics of each truck.

The component consists of three parts (A, B and C), which are purchased externally and cost 50c, 60c and 70c per piece respectively. Parts A and B are assembled first on assembly line 1, which produces 150 components per hour. Part C undergoes a drilling operation before being finally assembled with the output from assembly line 1. There are six drilling machines in total, but only three are currently operational. Each drilling machine drills part C at a rate of 30 parts per hour. The final assembly line has a production capacity of 100 components per hour. At present, components are produced eight hours a day, five days a week. If the need arises, management can add a second shift of eight hours for the assembly lines only. The cost of assembly labour is 40c per assembly operation for each assembly line; the cost of drilling labour is 20c per part. For drilling, the cost of electricity is 10c per part.

In 2012, Inditex reported sales of about 16 billion euros from more than 6,000 retail outlets in about 86 countries. In an industry in which customer demand is fickle, Zara has grown rapidly with a strategy to be highly responsive to changing trends with affordable prices. Whereas design-to-sales cycle times in the apparel industry have traditionally averaged more than six months, Zara has achieved cycle times of four to six weeks. This speed allows Zara to introduce new designs every week and to change 75 percent of its merchandise display every three to four weeks. Thus, Zara’s products on display match customer preferences much more closely than do those of the competition. The result is that Zara sells most of its products at full price and has about half the markdowns in its stores compared with the competition. Zara manufactures its apparel using a combination of flexible and…arrow_forwardChange information to 95,000 to install, but will increase customer traffic in the store by 12,000 customers per year.
