3. Suzuki Robotics (SR) manufactures two lightweight robots designed for easier house-cleaning. The Alpha-ONE model is older, heavier, and is designed for carpet cleaning. The Alpha-TWO model is newer, lighter, and is designed primarily for wooden floor cleaning. SR produces the components for both models at its Indiana plant. Each Alpha-ONE model requires 5 hours of manufacturing time and each Alpha-TWO model requires 4 hours of manufacturing time. The Indiana plant has 2500 hours of robot manufacturing time available for the next production period. The frames for each model are obtained from a third-party supplier, who can supply as many Alpha-ONE frames as needed. However, Alpha-TWO frame is newer and lighter, and the supplier can only provide up to 350 Alpha-TWO frames for the next production period. Final assembly and testing require 2 hours for each Alpha-ONE model and 2.5 hours for each Alpha-TWO model. Maximum of 1200 hours of assembly and testing time are available for the next production period. The company’s accounting department projects a profit contribution of $300 for each Alpha-ONE model produced and $250 for each Alpha-TWO model produced.
a. Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine the number of units of each model that should be produced in order to maximize the total contribution to profit. b. Solve the problem graphically. What is the optimal solution?
c. Which constraints are binding?

Procter & Gamble Embraces Continuous Planning and
Execution
The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) is an American
multinational consumer goods corporation headquartered in
Cincinnati, Ohio, founded in 1837 by William Procter and James
Gamble. It specializes in a wide range of personal health/consumer
health, and personal care and hygiene products; these products are
organized into several segments including Beauty; Grooming; Health
Care; Fabric & Home Care; and Baby, Feminine, & Family
Care. Before the sale of Pringles to Kellogg's, its product
portfolio also included foods, snacks, and beverages.
Procter & Gamble's mission statement is “We will provide
branded products and services of superior quality and value that
improve the lives of the world's consumers, now and for generations
to come.”
The Procter & Gamble Company today expanded its sustainability
goals to continue creating value with consumer-preferred brands and
products while conserving resources, protecting the environment,
and improving social conditions for those who need it most.
P&G is guided by 12 established Environmental Sustainability
Goals toward its vision of 100% renewable energy use, 100%
renewable or recycled materials for all products and packaging, and
zero consumer and manufacturing waste going to landfills. Since
establishing its goals in 2010, P&G has made considerable
progress. There now are 70 zero-waste manufacturing sites; energy
consumption, water use, C02 emissions, and truck transportation are
all down significantly; use of renewable energy and the number of
virgin-materials certifications are up substantially. P&G also
has expanded its social sustainability work, touching and improving
the lives of more than 50 million people each year through disaster
relief and programs such as Children’s Safe Drinking Water and the
Pampers UNICEF partnership.
Nowadays, P&G has operated on the global stage for decades and
has seen its share of challenges, failures and successes along the
way. The company successfully operates in over 180 countries. Also,
P&G has created a groundbreaking business intelligent system
called Business Sphere which allows it to respond rapidly to
changes in the marketplace and uncover new opportunities. It is a
visually immersive data environment that transforms decision-making
at P&G by harnessing real-time business information from around
the globe.
Moreover, comparing the results to its competitors, P&G
reported Total Revenue decrease in the fourth quarter of 2015 by
-16.1%, despite revenue increase by most of its competitors of 0.17
%, recorded in the same quarter. With net margin of 19.08% P&G
achieved higher profitability than its competitors.
The Procter & Gamble Company’s management strategy follows
goals for optimization in efficiency and effectiveness in
satisfying various needs of the business in consumer goods markets
worldwide. For example, based on higher productivity, Procter &
Gamble’s managers can implement higher production capacity
directives. These conditions contribute to the company’s ability to
stabilize its global business.
Procter & Gamble’s managers are concerned about product
specifications and development within organizational capabilities,
while supporting goals for innovation. In applying this approach,
the company’s managers focus on cost minimization without
sacrificing product quality. In addition, quality management’s
objective at P&G is to implement quality standards based on the
expectations of target customers or consumers.
Also, Procter & Gamble’s objective is to develop and implement
short-term and intermediate operational schedules for optimum
utilization of resources to support business needs. For example,
Procter & Gamble’s corporate office employees adhere to their
fixed schedules for data processing and analysis. On the other
hand, operations managers apply rotating schedules for
manufacturing processes. Some of these rotating schedules are
variable to enable Procter & Gamble to correspondingly vary its
productivity as a way of addressing changes in market demand for
consumer goods.
1. The external environment is continually changing and dynamic
environments are more the norm than the exception. Managers should
effectively plan in such environment.
a. Do you believe in that? How can managers plan effectively in
such environment? ?
b. How turbulent is Proctor & Gamble’s environment and how well
do you believe that they adapt to it? Support your answer by
example from the case .
