Chapter 9, Problem 9.100ACI
Absentee rates at a jeans plant. A plant that manufactures denim jeans in the United Kingdom introduced a computerized automated handling system. The new system delivers garments to the assembly line operators by means of an overhead conveyor. Although the automated system minimizes operator handling time, it inhibits operators from working ahead and taking breaks from their machine. A study in New Technology, Work, and Employment (July 2001) investigated the impact of the new handling system on worker absentee rates at the jeans plant. One theory is that the

State University has increased its tuition for in-state and out-of-state students in each of the past 5 years to offset cuts in its budget allocation from the state legislature. The university administration always thought that the number of applications received was independent of tuition; however, drops in applications and enrollments the past 2 years have proved this theory to be wrong. University admissions officials have developed the following relationships between the number of applicants who accept admission and enter State and the cost of tuition per semester (in-state) (out-of-state) The university would like to develop a planning model that will indicate the in-state and out-of-state tuitions, as well as the number of students that could be expected to enroll in the freshman class. The university doesn’t have enough classroom space for more than 1,400 freshmen, and it needs at least 700 freshmen to meet all its class-size x2 = 35,000 - 6t2 x1 = 21,000 - 12t1 (xi) (ti):…
A manager of inventory systems believes that inventory models are important decision-
making tools. The manager often uses an Economic Order Quantity policy, but has never
considered a backorder model, because the company has always treated backorders as a
bad practice to be avoided. However, with upper management's continued pressure to cut
costs, you have been asked to analyze the economics of a backorder policy for some
products. A specific product has annual demand of 800 units, an order cost of $150/order,
an annual holding cost of $3/item, and a backorder cost of $20/item. Your task it to
determine the annual savings, when compared with an EOQ model, that backorders
would allow. Assume 250 working days per year.
Find the production schedule for the technology matrix and demand vector given below:

- Size of a firm matters for implementation of supply chain management practices. It implies that larger firms very frequently implement supply chain and use advanced technologies to integrate supply chain partners. A study has reported part of the relationship between types of firm (Private and Public) and supply chain management implementation and between size of a firm (small to large, in terms of number of employees) and supply chain management implementation in International Journal of Business Modelling and Supply Chain Management (Vol. 5, 2013).

The sales department’s forecast of demand for the next month is shown in below Table 1, along with data on the selling price per yard, variable cost per yard, and purchase price per yard. The mill operates 24 hours a day and is scheduled for 30 days during the coming month. The mill has two types of looms: draw and regular. The draw looms are more versatile and can be used for all five fabrics. The regular looms can produce only three of the fabrics. The mill has a total of 36 looms: 8 are draw and 28 are regular. The rate of production for each fabric on each type of loom is given in below Table 2. The time required to change over from producing one fabric to another is negligible and does not have to be considered. The Lawson Fabric Mill satisfies all demand with either its own fabric or fabric purchased from another mill. Fabrics that cannot be woven at the…arrow_forwardA manager of a large supermarket chain wants to predict the demand of the best-selling SKU of the Coke product family, namely the 16 oz 24-can case. The manager thinks that the demand of Coke may be related to its price, the national advertisement expenditure level of Coke, and the price of the 16 oz 24-can case Pepsi Cola. Based on a sample of 20 weeks of data of quantity sold (in cases) for the Coke Cola, price of Coke Cola (in dollars), Coke's advertisement expenditure (in million dollars), and the price of Pepsi Cola (in dollars), a multiple linear regression analysis was performed in Excel.

- Adelie Enterprises is exploring a new service to provide weekly delivery of grocery items to homes in the greater Greenwood area. The company's customers place web-based orders and Adelie's team assembles and delivers the orders in specially designed cardboard boxes.

For the above model, you think there may be a non-linear effect of forest habitat based on the number of highways that cross the county, as this may cause the habitat to be more fragmented. You do not think there are any other non-linear effects.
