Suppose you receive an order for 150 pieces in period 4 that has to be delivered in period 5 and when you check your MPS you discover that in that period you only have 60 units available to promise and your next batch (300 units) it's scheduled to arrive in Period 6 and preparation time is 3 weeks. What actions can you take to resolve this situation? What are the limitations of the requirements that must be considered? What should be the criteria that must be considered to evaluate and select the best alternative?

PLEASE BE SUPER SPECIFIC IN YOUR ANSWER. FOR SOME CONTEXT THIS IS A QUESTION FOR A PRODUCTION AND INVENTORY DESIGN AND ANALYSIS CLASS.

I will make sure to rate your answer. THANK YOU.

This is an analytical problem. Whats expected its to provide alternatives to the dilema presented in the production system and analyze the possible consequences of them.

Using Extrinsic and Intrinsic Rewards to Motivate Student Achievement

Objectives

• To identify extrinsic and intrinsic rewards that motivate student achievement.
• To generate suggestions for how instructors can use extrinsic and intrinsic rewards to motivate student achievement.

Introduction

The purpose of this exercise is to explore the use of rewards in motivating student achievement. There are two types of rewards—extrinsic and intrinsic—that can be used to fuel student motivation. Extrinsic motivation drives people’s behavior when they do things in order to attain a specific outcome. Extrinsic motivation is the payoff a person receives from others for performing a particular task. For students, these rewards include things like grades, getting better jobs, verbal recognition from peers and professors, academic scholarships, and admittance to honorary societies and associations. In contrast, intrinsic motivation is driven by positive feelings associated with doing well on a task or job. Intrinsic rewards are self-granted; the payoff comes from pleasing yourself.

Instructions

1. Individually brainstorm a list of extrinsic and intrinsic rewards that are associated with academic achievement.
2. As a group create a master list of all unique ideas generated through brainstorming. As a group, identify the top five extrinsic and intrinsic rewards from the list. The group can use a voting procedure to arrive at consensus.
3. Generate specific recommendations for how any college instructor might build these top five extrinsic and intrinsic rewards into a classroom environment.

Questions for Discussion

1. What did you learn about the use of rewards from this exercise?
2. How can instructors improve student achievement through the application of extrinsic and intrinsic rewards?
3. Can instructors really motivate students?

Andalus Furniture Company has two manufacturing plants, one at Aynor and another at Spartanburg. The cost in dollars of producing a kitchen chair at each of the two plants is given here. The cost of producing Q1 chairs at Aynor is: 25Q1+2.5Q12+100 and the cost of producing Q2 kitchen chairs at Spartanburg is: 75Q2+2.5Q22+150. Andalus needs to manufacture a total of 40 kitchen chairs to meet an order just received. How many chairs should be made at Aynor, and how many should be made at Spartanburg in order to minimize total production cost? If required, round your answers to the nearest whole number. Round intermediate calculations to two decimal places.
