As part of a quality improvement initiative, Consolidated Electronics employees complete a three-day training program on teaming and a two-day training program on problem-solving. The manager of quality improvement has requested that at least 8 training programs on teaming and at least 10 training programs on problem-solving be offered during the next six months. In addition, senior-level management has specified that at least 25 training programs must be offered during this period. Consolidated Electronics uses a consultant to teach the training programs. During the next quarter, the consultant has 84 days of training time available. Each training program on teaming costs $10,000 and each training program on problem-solving costs $8,000.
a. Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine the number of training programs on teaming and the number of training programs on problem-solving that should be offered in order to minimize total cost.b. Graph the feasible…
The state and local police departments are trying to analyze crime rates so they can shift their patrols from decreasing-rate areas to areas where rates are increasing. The city and county have been geographically segmented into areas containing 6,000 residences. The police recognize that not all crimes and offenses are reported: people do not want to become involved, consider the offenses too small to report, are too embarrassed to make a police report, or do not take the time, among other reasons. Every month, because of this, the police are contacting by phone a random sample of 1,200 of the 6,000 residences for data on crime. (Respondents are guaranteed anonymity.) Here are the data collected for the past 12 months for one area:

The general manager of Mansfield Energy Corp intends to hire a consultant to train Mansfield Energy Corp’s employees regarding the new procedures for affixing the fuel lines at the collection point to the high-capacity storage tanks and is debating whether the competitor should be invited to attend given that they use the same seaport. The general manager is mindful of the high cost of hiring the consultant and sourcing the equipment to train Mansfield Energy Corp’s employees and is therefore hesitant to invite his competitors. The manager is also aware that there have been no accidents at the port since operations started 10 years ago and might not invite the competitors to participate in the training.

- Louisiana is busy designing new lottery scratch-off games. In the latest game, Bayou Boondoggle, the player is instructed to scratch off one spot: A, B, or C. A can reveal "Loser," "Win $5," or "Win $25." B can reveal "Loser" or "Take a Second Chance." C can reveal "Loser" or "Win $600." On the second chance, the player is instructed to scratch off D or E. D can reveal "Loser" or "Win $5." E can reveal "Loser" or "Win $15." The probabilities at A are 0.70, 0.19, and 0.11. The probabilities at B are 0.70 and 0.30. The probabilities at C are 0.997 and 0.003. The probabilities at D are 0.4 and 0.6. Finally, the probabilities at E are 0.91 and 0.09. Draw the decision tree that represents this scenario.

The Head of Department of ITC, Mr Rumi, has discovered that on more than one occasion recently a computer virus has been introduced to the computers in the department. He thinks that the viruses have been introduced from computer disks brought in by students. He has decided to introduce a system where all disks used in the department must be checked for a virus before they can be put into the computers. He says to you, I would like you to send a memo in my name to all teachers who use the computer rooms. You will have to tell them that all disks brought in by students must be checked before there are used. The teachers have to check them carefully, of course.

- Sarah has a startup business that makes two distinct bird feeders that she has designed. Sarah is planning on operating a small factory to build the bird feeders. She is looking at two possible locations, A and B. If she chooses location A, the lease on the building will be higher than location B, thus leading to higher fixed costs than what she would have with location B. However, if she makes more than 20,000 units, both locations will likely have to be expanded, both the physical buildings and the manufacturing equipment. Variable costs to produce each unit will vary by location as well as by product. For example, the first design will have variable costs of $10 and $15 in locations A and B respectively, while the second bird feeder design will have variable costs of $20 and $25 respectively depending on location. However, she thinks that variable costs will decrease if she sells more than 5,000 units, as she will receive discounts from her suppliers at that point. She is unsure of…arrow_forwardPROBLEM B As part of a quality improvement initiative, Consolidated Electronics employees complete a three-day training program on teaming and a two-day training program on problem-solving.

George Monohan, president of Monohan Machinery, is convinced that harvesting weeds is far better than using chemicals to kill weeds. Chemicals cause pollution, and weeds seem to grow faster after chemicals have been used. George is contemplating the construction of a machine that would harvest weeds on narrow rivers and waterways. The activities that are necessary to build one of these experimental weed-harvesting machines are listed in the following table. Construct a network for these activities. 11-21 After consulting with Butch Radner, George Monohan was able to determine the activity times for constructing the weed-harvesting machine to be used on narrow rivers. George would like to determine ES, EF, LS, LF, and slack time for each activity. The total project completion time and the critical path(s) should also be determined. (See Problem 11-20 for details.)
