A company needs to open new warehouses to distribute products to the customers in two different regions. The company has to decide where to open warehouses and in which capacity should be preferred for them. Past data shows that average daily demand of customers are 1000 units for the customers in region 1 and 1200 units for the customers in region 2. There are two possible locations to open a warehouse. The daily equivalent setup cost of opening a warehouse at location alternative A requires $1,000 for a warehouse with delivery capacity of 1000 units per day and it requires $1,500 for a warehouse with delivery capacity of 2200 units per day. The daily equivalent setup cost of opening a warehouse at location alternative B is $550 for a warehouse with a maximum capacity of 1200 units per day. Delivery costs are as follows: $1 from a warehouse located at A to the customers in region 1; $1.5 from a warehouse located at A to the customers in region 2; $1.5 from a warehouse located at B to the customers in region 1; $1 from a warehouse located at B to the customers in region 2. Develop a linear mathematical model for minimizing total daily equivalent cost of distribution system

Think of the group experiences you have had at work, at home, at school, or in any formal or informal organizational environment. Think of “organizational environment” as simply meaning a group of individuals that get together to pursue a goal. Think of a specific example from those experiences, and see which one of the models of group dynamics best applies to that example.

Choose specifically one from the following theories: the stages of group development, the punctuated-equilibrium model, collective efficacy, cohesion, or social loafing. You can choose an example where the group was highly effective, or an example where the group dynamics became an obstacle to performance.mics
