1. Fiedler’s Contingency Theory of Leadership was an important advanement in our understanding effective leadership styles. But, it was just a beginning in our understanding of the “contingencies” that impact leadership effectiveness. Summarize Fiedler’s leadership contingency factors. Now consider House’s Path-Goal Theory, what did the Path-Goal Theory of Leadership add to our understanding of leadership contingencies. What contingency did House consider that Fiedler did not?  Explain fully.

Sampling 4 pieces of​ precision-cut wire​ (to be used in computer​ assembly) every hour for the past 24 hours has produced the following​ results:

Based on the sampling​ done, the control limits for ​3-sigma x overbarx chart are ​(round all intermediate calculations to three decimal places before proceeding with further​calculations)​:
Upper Control Limit ​(UCL Subscript x overbarUCLx​) ​= ?
Lower Control Limit ​(LCL Subscript x overbarLCLx​) ​= ?
Based on the x overbarx​-chart, the wire cutting process has been
IN CONTROL or OUT OF CONTROL?

The control limits for the ​3-sigma​ R-chart are ​(round all intermediate calculations to three decimal places before proceeding with further ​calculations)​:
Upper Control Limit ​(UCL Subscript Upper RUCLR​) ​= ?
Lower Control Limit ​(LCL Subscript Upper RLCLR​) ​= ?
Based on the​ R-chart, the wire cutting process has been
IN CONTROL or OUT OF CONTROL ?

You manage a fabrication shop and have collected the following measurements (cm). You collected 7 random samples each day for a month. Below find the average of those 7 measurements and the range. You do not know the natural variation. Construct an x-bar and range chart. Include several sentences about your conclusions after analyzing your charts.

Continuing on with the data from the fabrication shop (cm. measurements), you have the following additional information. The standard deviation is 1.3 cm. The contract specifies that parts will be between 50 cm and 60 cm. What is the Cp? Express with 2 decimal places.

A small firm intends to increase the capacity of a bottleneck operation by adding a new machine. Two alternatives, A and B, have been identified, and the associated costs and revenues have been estimated. Annual fixed costs would be $36,000 for A and $31,000 for B; variable costs per unit would be $7 for A and $11 for B; and revenue per unit would be $18.

a. Determine each alternative’s break-even point in units. (Round your answer to the nearest whole amount.)

b. At what volume of output would the two alternatives yield the same profit (or loss)? (Round your answer to the nearest whole amount.)

Profit             units

c. If expected annual demand is 15,000 units, which alternative would yield the higher profit (or the lower loss)?
