Klein Chemicals, Inc., produces a special oil-based material that is currently in short supply. Four of Klein’s customers have already placed orders that together exceed the combined capacity of Klein’s two plants. Klein’s management faces the problem of deciding how many units it should supply to each customer. Because the four customers are in different industries, different prices can be charged because of the various industry pricing structures. However, slightly different production costs at the two plants and varying
transportation costs between the plants and customers make a “sell to the highest bidder

strategy unacceptable. After considering price, production costs, and transportation costs, Klein established the following profit per unit for each plant–customer alternative:
Customer

plant D1 D2 D3 D4

Clifton Springs $32 $34 $32 $40

Danville $34 $30 $28 $38

The plant capacities and customer orders are as follows:
plant    Capacity (units) distributor Orders (units)

Clifton Springs 5000    D1 2000

D2 5000

Danville    3000 D3 3000

D4 2000

How many units should each plant produce for each customer to maximize profits? Which customer demands will not be met? Show your network model and linear programming formulation.

Business Proposal Assignment

You work as a communication specialist at Warby Parker, reporting to co-CEO David Gilboa. Using the skills you’ve been practicing in this course, respond to this challenge:

You’re helping Gilboa prepare a report about the company. Gilboa characterizes the report as a “public business plan,” in that it will discuss the company and its objectives, strategies, and operations without disclosing the sort of confidential information that a typical business plan includes. The secondary audience includes potential investors, employees, and business partners.

To help overcome shoppers’ reluctance to buy eyewear online, Warby Parker offers Try-On in the stores, giving them to opportunity order five pairs of frames, try them on in the stores, then decide which pair they would like to order. This gives shoppers lots of time to try on the frames they are considering and get the opinions of family and friends.

On the job (Internal, Unsolicited Proposal)
Write a 3-5 page internal proposal to your boss or supervisor. Select one of the topics below listed as A-D, and make sure to include it as one of your headings. Remember to include additional headings or sub-headings for each section in the proposal that explain this program- i.e. Background, Solution, Recommendation. Make sure to correctly identify and analyze your audience, as well as any possible secondary audiences. Usually, the person to whom you submit your proposal is in a position to order the implementation of the change recommended.

1. Home Try-On: Making online shopping even better than in-store shopping.
2. Home-Try On: Our tried and true way to eliminate the risk of buying eyewear online.
3. Home Try-On: Now you can try on five frames in the comfort of your own home.
4. Home Try-On: How we can reduce a major perceived risk in the Warby business model.

Managing Risk from a Human Resources perspective is a very broad topic. For one, we have to think of covering critical positions in case of illness, promotions, terminations, or escape from the company (lol). This case study puts you in the role of HR Director for a manufacturing firm that is a critical supplier of products used in health care/hospitals for the protection of health care workers from contagious diseases. Your business is essential. The scenario involves the outbreak of a deadly virus which has become a pandemic. Work through and list the items that you must put into place for your employees, who we need to keep working for the sake of protecting human beings world wide. Don't forget that you may have employees who are at risk for their on health due to underlying health conditions such as heart disease, transplants, diabetes, and cancer, to name a few.

The question is in the field of Government Contracting and Acquisition (Contracting Officer) in Business Administration/Management. How do leaders and managers in this field address the issue of change management? In this analysis, the issue of change management, as well as the change in style should be demonstrated by leaders in the specified field. Also please addressed how the addressed changes affect current, previous and future career paths of those in that field. The response should also help or show how changes occur over the past decade or give suggestions or recommendations to be taking into consideration and that is necessary for the field in question Government Contracting and Acquisition (Contracting Officer).

Apply alternative decision-making theories including the comprehensive rational model, The Science of Muddling Through and Etzioni’s Mixed Scanning.

Then locate the rule in any other country.


Discuss the following:


1.   What part or parts of the U.S. rule do you either agree or disagree?
2.   Compare/contrast the U.S. with your selected country. If they are the same, why do you think they are stated in similar ways. If different, discuss the differences.

If you could change the U.S. rule, what would you change and why?

If you would not change anything in the U.S. rule, discuss what aspects of the rule you believe are most effective and why?

You MUST provide citations for all materials used.

Inner City Health Center is a federally funded health clinic that serves the needs of the inner-city poor. Currently the center is at the end of third-year operation and is preparing its staffing plan for the upcoming year. The federal government requires that the center prepare a budget request each year. The request is based largely on the forecast of the # of Patient Visit for specific services during the next year.

The health center administrator has in the past tried using the last month’s # of Patient Visit and has also tried using the average of all historical data to predict the next period’s # of Patient Visit for the center. Neither of these two techniques has proven satisfactory due to complicated month to month data pattern. They are currently seeking outside helpers to forecast the # of patient visit for the upcoming January year 2016.

The # of patient visit each month in the preceding three years (including the current year) is available In the following Table.

Table. Emergency Service Demand for the Inner-city Health Center

1. Forecast
   1. Use a 4- Month Simple Moving Average Method to forecast the # of the emergency visit from May 2013 to January 2016.
   2. Use a Linear Projection Forecast Method to forecast the # of the emergency visit from January 2013 to January 2016.
   3. Use an Exponential Smoothing Forecast Method, with a = 0.25, to forecast the # of the emergency visit from June 2013 to January 2016. Assume that initial forecast for May 2013 is 600.
2. Plot One (nice) Chart for Data Series over time (Jan 2013 to Jan 2016):
   1. the historical data series,
   2. the data series of forecasts obtained in 1a), 1b) and 1c).

1. Use one of forecast Error Measurements, either MAD, or MSE, or MAPE (you choose) to determine which of the forecasts from 1a), 1b) or 1c) provides the best (smallest) forecasting error summary from the given historical data set.
   1. It is important to point out that error comparison of different forecast methods should be done on a Consistent Base. That is, the forecast error comparison for different forecast methods is meaningful only when we compare the forecast error of the Same Range of forecasts.
2. For the Exponential Smoothing forecast obtained in 1c), use Tracking Signal to monitor the forecast results and draw a conclusion on whether or not the forecasts are Biased, assume C = 3, and -C = -3 to be the control limits of the tracking signal method.
3. Use the same Forecast Error Measurement you used in question 3), find the best smoothing parameter a (i.e. the a that leads to the smallest forecast error) of Exponential Smoothing Forecast Method.
4. For the given historical data set,
   1. Briefly discuss the potential weakness when applying each method in part 1a), 1b) and 1c).
   2. i) Propose a new Forecast Method that might be better than forecast methods 1a) - 1c). ii) Use your Forecast Method to do the forecasts and then iii) use the Same Forecast Error measurement you used in 3) to compare your forecast results with the results from forecast methods 1a), 1b) and 1c).

Mini-Case Study:

Coca-Cola Enterprises provides us with a good example of a company that has several types of plants. Coca-

Cola operates factories that produce both raw materials and finished goods. Some factories produce the syrup that forms the basis of the Coca-Cola products you are familiar with. Other factories combine the syrup with carbonated water during the bottling process to make the finished Coca-Cola products. The finished goods, which consist of cases of bottles and cans of Coca-Cola products, are then shipped to regional distribution centers for storage until they are transported to end customers, such as retailers. The syrup factory, the bottling factory, and the distribution center are all considered plants in Coca-Cola’s SAP ERP system.

Q1. Briefly describe the key business processes and the related materials and plants to deliver the finish good to the end customers in Coca-Cola Enterprises.

Q2. Explain the benefits of the enterprise systems in supporting end-to-end processes and in avoiding the silo effect within Coca-Cola Enterprises.
