Remember in a network type problem (transportation problem, transshipment problem, etc...) that nodes represent constraints and that the connections between nodes, arcs or routes, are variables.

In the transshipment nodes, you see Louisville is a transshipment node. In the constraint for Louisville, which variables have a negative sign in front and which have a positive sign?

Analyzing Cost

Establishing the cost of the products and your profit will be very important. Your sales price and the amount of labor, clay and slip are in the following table.

Table 1: Prices and Contents

From the above table, the bowl sells for 35 dollars, and requires 1 hour of labor, 4 pounds of clay and 2 ounces of slip. The mug and plate data are also in the above table. In this model labor is a variable cost. To price the variable elements, the labor is ten dollars per hour, the clay is 80 cents per pound and the slip is 25 cents per ounce. The shop is on an incentive system and based on the number of units produced the employees’ salary will be increased to provide ten dollars for each bowl and plate produced and fifteen dollars for each mug produced. If the employee is extremely slow the base rate will be used; however, the shop has never had an employee that slow. The fixed cost per year is $48,000 for the shop. This cost includes rent, utilities, and insurance. Given the average price and variable cost per unit, what is the breakeven quantity per year, per week and per day of operation (assume a 6 day work week.)? To simplify this calculation use the average sale price and average cost of the units. Your breakeven number should be the total units (bowls, mugs and plates) sold.

Use conversion and The strategic objective is to acquire 60% of site visits from Facebook ads and 40% from Youtube (TrueView ads). Please re-calculate the advertising budget given the average cost per click (CPC) in your industry is $2 on Facebook and $5 on Youtube.

This is your opportunity to display and apply your knowledge by responding to a potential client engagement.

It seems that their management staff is having communication challenges resulting in some expensive mistakes in the form of missed supply orders. However, the employee who has contacted you has no confidence and little understanding of organizational development. It is clear they have been tasked to explore the option by the executive board. The British Petroleum Company representative states that they have not had an opportunity to engage an organizational development consultant before and want to learn more before dedicating any additional company resources in a conversation.
