Cleveland Area Rapid Delivery (CARD) operates a delivery service in the Cleveland metropolitan area. Most of CARD's business
involves rapid delivery of documents and parcels between offices during the business day. CARD promotes its ability to make fast
and on-time deliveries anywhere in the metropolitan area. When a customer calls with a delivery request, CARD quotes a
guaranteed delivery time. The following network shows the street routes available. The numbers above each arc indicate the
travel time in minutes between the two locations.

- R. C. Coleman distributes a variety of food products that are sold through grocery store and supermarket outlets. The company receives orders directly from the individual outlets, with a typical order requesting the delivery of several cases of anywhere from 20 to 50 different products. Under the company’s current warehouse operation, warehouse clerks dispatch order-picking personnel to fill each order and have the goods moved to the warehouse shipping area Because of the high labor costs and relatively low productivity of hand order picking, management has decided to automate the warehouse operation by installing a computer-controlled order-picking system along with a conveyor system for moving goods from storage to the warehouse shipping area. R. C. Coleman’s director of material management has been named the project manager in charge of the automated warehouse system. After consulting with members of the engineering staff and warehouse management personnel, the director compiled a…arrow_forwardBackground The airline industry uses a hub-and-spoke distribution structure to funnel passengers into its highly profitable long haul routes. For example, American Airlines has one of its major hubs at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). It has spokes that project out to other airports which are either smaller or not hubs, like those at Kansas City, Wichita, Lubbock, New Orleans, Houston, and Colorado Springs. The spokes are usually characterized by low competition and American tends to use older turbo prop and jet aircraft, charge a premium price and provide fewer flights and always at times designed to marry up with its long haul routes to the east and west coasts and to its foreign destinations. In the 1990s new low cost airlines began to penetrate some of these markets by providing lower prices, more frequent service and new jet aircraft and associated amenities. One of the routes was from DFW to Wichita, Kansas. A new low cost carrier, Vanguard Airlines entered…arrow_forwardMorgan Trucking Company operates a special pickup and delivery service between Chicago and six other cities located in a four-state area.

- Mount Isa Mines is one of the world’s great metal mines. Its main operations are at Mount Isa, in Queensland, Australia, where it mines adjacent deposits of copper and silver-lead-zinc ores. Production levels changes with world demand and prices, but in atypical year 7 million tonnes of ore are mined to give 150,000 tonnes of copper and lead (containing silver) and 200,000 tonnes of zinc. Mount Isa has serious transport problems. It produces huge quantities of ore in a remote area of Australia, while the main demand for finished metals is in the industrialised areas of the world, particularly Europe. The problem is to process the ores and move them to final markets as cheaply as possible. You can see the scope of the problem from an outline of the journey for copper, this starts with underground explosions to break up the ore body. The broken ore is collected by front-end loaders and put onto ore trains that carry it to underground crushers. The crushed ore is then hoisted to the…arrow_forwardMount Isa Mines is one of the world’s great metal mines.

SVTC is currently evaluating four different approaches to help them maintain their fleet of cars and vans efficiently at the lowest possible cost. Their options are: (1) No preventive maintenance at all and repair vehicle components when they fail; (2) Take oil samples at regular intervals and perform whatever preventive maintenance is indicated by the oil analysis; (3) Perform an oil change on a regular basis on each vehicle and perform repairs when needed; (4) perform oil changes at regular intervals, take oil samples regularly, and perform maintenance repairs as indicated by the sample analysis. Option #1 costs nothing to implement and results in two possible outcomes: There is a .10 probability that a defective component will occur, requiring emergency maintenance at a cost of $1,200, or there is a chance that no defects will occur and no maintenance will be…arrow_forward
