Kolkmeyer Manufacturing Company is considering adding two machines to its manufacturing operation. This addition will bring the number of machines to nine. The president of Kolkmeyer asked for a study of the need to add a second employee to the repair operation. The arrival rate is 0.06 machines per hour for each machine, and the service rate for each individual assigned to the repair operation is 0.6 machines per hour.

a. Compute the operating characteristics if the company retains the single-employee repair operation. If required, round your answers to four decimal places.

P₀ =

Lq=

L=

W_{q= _______hours}

_{W=    ______hours}       

b. Compute the operating characteristics if a second employee is added to the machine repair operation. If required, round your answers to four decimal places.

P₀ =

Lq=

L=

W_{q= _______hours}

_{W=    ______hours}       

Each employee is paid $30 per hour. Machine downtime is valued at $70 per hour. From an economic point of view, should one or two employees handle the machine repair operation? Explain. If required, round your answers to two decimal places.

Cost of one employee system: $_____

Cost of two employees system: $_____

Myrtle Air Express decided to offer direct service from Cleveland to Myrtle Beach. Management must decide between a full-price service using the company’s new fleet of jet aircraft and a discount service using smaller capacity commuter planes. It is clear that the best choice depends on the market reaction to the service Myrtle Air offers. Management developed estimates of the contribution to profit for each type of service based upon two possible levels of demand for service to Myrtle Beach: strong and weak. The following table shows the estimated quarterly profits (in thousands of dollars):

1. What is the decision to be made, what is the chance event, and what is the consequence for this problem?
   
   
   
   How many decision alternatives are there?
   
   Number of decision alternatives =
   
   How many outcomes are there for the chance event?
   
   Number of outcomes =
   
2. If nothing is known about the probabilities of the chance outcomes, what is the recommended decision using the optimistic, conservative and minimax regret approaches?
   

   Optimistic approach	Full price service
   Conservative approach	Discount service
   Minimax regret approach	Discount service

3. Suppose that management of Myrtle Air Express believes that the probability of strong demand is 0.7 and the probability of weak demand is 0.3. Use the expected value approach to determine an optimal decision.
   
   Optimal Decision : Discount service
   
4. Suppose that the probability of strong demand is 0.8 and the probability of weak demand is 0.2. What is the optimal decision using the expected value approach?
   
   Optimal Decision : Full price service
   
5. Determine the range of demand probabilities for which each of the decision alternatives has the largest expected value. If required, round your answer to four decimal places.
   
   Discount service  is the best choice if probability of strong demand is less than or equal to_____________ . For values of  ? greater than___________ , the full price service is the best  choice.

Problem 3. The following project is at the end of its 6^th week. Find the cost and schedule variances. Also find the CPI and SPI. Then find the critical ratio of the project using earned value calculations. Finally, calculate the EAC for the project by at least two different methods.

Research recent cases (2015–2017) involving employment discrimination with regard to either sexual orientation or religious discrimination. Once you have identified a case of interest, discuss the following:

• Name the organization involved.
• List the facts of the case.
• Analyze how the case was processed legally.
• Indicate the final outcome/resolution of the case (if there has been a final determination made).  
• Was national legislation changed as a result of the case?
