You manage an ice cream factory that makes two flavors: Creamy Vanilla and Continental Mocha. Into each quart of Creamy Vanilla go 2 eggs and 1 cup of cream. Into each quart of Continental Mocha go 4 eggs and 1 cup of cream. You have in stock 1600 eggs and 600 cups of cream. Draw the feasible region showing the number of quarts of vanilla and number of quarts of mocha that can be produced. (Place Creamy Vanilla on the x-axis and Continental Mocha on the y-axis.)

The Tinkan Company produces one-pound cans for the Canadian salmon industry. Each year the salmon spawn during a 24-hour period and must be canned immediately. Tinkan has the following agreement with the salmon industry. The company can deliver as many cans as it chooses. Then the salmon are caught. For each can by which Tinkan falls short of the salmon industrys needs, the company pays the industry a 2 penalty. Cans cost Tinkan 1 to produce and are sold by Tinkan for 2 per can. If any cans are left over, they are returned to Tinkan and the company reimburses the industry 2 for each extra can. These extra cans are put in storage for next year. Each year a can is held in storage, a carrying cost equal to 20% of the cans production cost is incurred. It is well known that the number of salmon harvested during a year is strongly related to the number of salmon harvested the previous year. In fact, using past data, Tinkan estimates that the harvest size in year t, Ht (measured in the number of cans required), is related to the harvest size in the previous year, Ht1, by the equation Ht = Ht1et where et is normally distributed with mean 1.02 and standard deviation 0.10. Tinkan plans to use the following production strategy. For some value of x, it produces enough cans at the beginning of year t to bring its inventory up to x+Ht, where Ht is the predicted harvest size in year t. Then it delivers these cans to the salmon industry. For example, if it uses x = 100,000, the predicted harvest size is 500,000 cans, and 80,000 cans are already in inventory, then Tinkan produces and delivers 520,000 cans. Given that the harvest size for the previous year was 550,000 cans, use simulation to help Tinkan develop a production strategy that maximizes its expected profit over the next 20 years. Assume that the company begins year 1 with an initial inventory of 300,000 cans.
1. Power Notebooks, Inc. plans to manufacture a new line of notebook computers. Management is trying to decide whether to purchase the LCD screens for the computers from an outside supplier or to manufacture the screens in-house. The screens cost $100 each from the outside supplier. To set up the assembly process required to produce the screens in-house would cost $100,000. The company could then produce each screen for $75. The number of notebooks that eventually will be produced (Q) is unknown at this point. a. Set up a spreadsheet that will display the total cost of both options for any value of Q. Use trial-and-error with the spreadsheet to determine the range of production volumes for which each alternative is best. b. Use a graphical procedure to determine the break-even point for Q (i.e., the quantity at which both options yield the same cost). 2.

Can you help me with these three review questions A sports manufacturer produces skateboards and rollerblades. The same wheels are used for both products. For the next week, the master production schedule for skateboards shows a need for 147 units, while the master production schedule for rollerblades shows a need of 149 pairs. 4 wheels are required to manufacture a skateboard, and 8 wheels are required to manufacture one pair of rollerblades. What are the gross requirements for wheels to meet the requirements on the master production schedules for the next week?

5. The manager of a fast-food restaurant featuring hamburgers is adding salads to the menu. If they choose to include a salad bar (i.e., the MAKE option), it will cost $14,000 in annual fixed costs for the leased equipment and added employee, and $1 per salad variable cost. If they choose to have pre-made salads (i.e., the BUY option), it will cost $3 per salad. The manager expects to sell 7,500 salads per year. What is the make or buy quantity (i.e., the breakeven point between making vs. buying)?

At a hydrocarbon processing factory, process control involves the periodic analysis of samples for a certain process quality parameter. The analytic procedure currently used is costly and time-consuming. A faster and more economical alternative procedure has been proposed. However, the numbers for the quality parameter given by the alternative procedureare somewhat different from those given by the current procedure, not because of any inherent errors but because of changes in the nature of the chemical analysis. Management believes that if the numbers from the new procedure can be used to forecast reliably the corresponding numbers from the current procedure, switching to the new procedure would be reasonable and cost-effective. The following data were obtained for the quality parameter by analyzing samples using both procedures: a. Use linear regression to find a relation to forecast Y, which is the quality parameter from the current procedure, using the values from the proposed…
Zhu Manufacturing is considering the Introduction of a family of new products. Long-term demand for the product group is somewhat predictable, so the manufacturer must be concemed with the risk of choosing a process that is inappropriate. Faye Zhu is VP of operations. She can choose among batch manufacturing or custom manufacturing, or she can invest in group technology, Zhu won't be able to forecast demand accurately until after she makes the process choice. Demand will be classified into four compartments: poor, fair, good, and excellebt The table below indicates the payoffs (profits) associated with each processidemand combination, as well as the probabilities of each long-term demand level: Demand Poor Fair Good Excellent Probability Batch Custom 0.15 0.40 -$300,000 $100,000 $1,200,000 $800,000 $400,000 $00,000 0.30 $1,200,000 $750,000 $500,000 0.15 $1,300,000 $800,000 $2,200,000 Group technology a) The alternative that provides Zhu the greatest expected monetary value (EMV) is…
