Explanation of Solution

Drive out Fear (in the workplace): Fear should be eliminated from the workplace so that every employee can work freely and bring positive results for the company. The performance ability of a person ceases when there is an atmosphere of fear and that fear might be of a salary cut, suspension, or demotion. The performance of employers could be increased if there will be mutual respect between them and healthy competition prevails in the company.  

Stop making decisions purely based on cost: Companies generally follow a low-cost vendor selection process in their projects but instead the company should build good and long-term relations with suppliers so that they can rely on them. With having long term relationships, vendors can put the company on priority when in need. However, the low cost does not guarantee the product quality which can lead to loss of goodwill and customers due to decreasing product quality. 

However, Deming’s 14 points of quality management are equally applicable to the organizations today.

Consider the nonlinear optimization model stated below. Min 2x²-18x + 2XY + y² 14Y + 51 s.t. X + 4Y ≤7 (a) Find the minimum solution to this problem. at (X, Y) = (b) If the right-hand side of the constraint is increased from 7 to 8, how much do you expect the objective function to change? Based on the dual value on the constraint X + 4Y ≤7, we expect the optimal objective function value to decrease by (c) Resolve the problem with a new right-hand side of the constraint of 8. How does the actual change compare with your estimate? If we resolve the problem with a new right-hand-side of 8 the new optimal objective function value is , so the actual change is a decrease of rather than what we expected in part (b).
Burger Dome sells hamburgers, cheeseburgers, french fries, soft drinks, and milk shakes, as well as a limited number of specialty items and dessert selections. Although Burger Dome would like to serve each customer immediately, at times more customers arrive than can be handled by the Burger Dome food service staff. Thus, customers wait in line to place and receive their orders. Burger Dome analyzed data on customer arrivals and concluded that the arrival rate is 40 customers per hour. Burger Dome also studied the order-filling process and found that a single employee can process an average of 56 customer orders per hour. Burger Dome is concerned that the methods currently used to serve customers are resulting in excessive waiting times and a possible loss of sales. Management wants to conduct a waiting line study to help determine the best approach to reduce waiting times and improve service. Suppose Burger Dome establishes two servers but arranges the restaurant layout so that an…
