Subject: Decision Analysis for Business Scenario
Introduction to the Business Scenario
Our delivery services business has been experiencing steady growth, leading to an
increased demand for faster and more efficient deliveries. To meet this demand,
we must decide on the best strategy to expand our fleet. The three possible
alternatives under consideration are purchasing new delivery vehicles, leasing
vehicles, or partnering with third-party drivers. The decision must account for
various external factors, including fuel price fluctuations, demand stability, and
competition growth, which we categorize as the states of nature. Each alternative
presents unique advantages and challenges, and our goal is to select the most
viable option using a structured decision-making approach.
Alternatives and States of Nature
The three alternatives for fleet expansion were chosen based on their cost
implications, operational efficiency, and…
