Q3. After graduating from college, Rachel and Payton start selling birdhouses made from recycled plastic. The idea has caught on, as shown by the following sales figures:

a. (3pts). Develop a forecast model for June through September by using an adjusted exponential smoothing model with α=0.5 and β=0.3. Assume that the unadjusted forecast (Ft) for May was 2,000 and the trend factor (Tt) for May was 700.

B (3 pts). Calculate the tracking signals for periods June through August.

International Codes:

•The best starting point in the further development of standards for international business is self-regulation by business within the guidelines and standards that already exist.

•The UN Global Compact with business was proposed by the UN secretary-general in January 1999.

•The Compact challenges business to work with other companies, UN agencies, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to support and implement ten basic principles stated in the Compact.

• The basic principles deal with respecting human rights, labor standards, protecting the environment, and eliminating corruption.

•

•The ILO is a specialized agency of the UN that has set up principles governing labor standards.

•The Caux Principles were launched in 1995.

•These principles emerged from a series of dialogues among a group of European, Japanese, and American firms.

•The principles are rooted in two basic principles:

–the Japanese principle of kyosei (working together for the common good); and

–the Western notion of the dignity and value of each human person as an end and not simply as a means to be used by others.

Processing new accounts at a bank is intended to average 10 minutes each. Five samples of four observations each have been taken. Use the sample data below, construct a X-bar and a R (range) chart.

1. Determine the mean and range of each sample in above table.

Mean : 10.0+10.1++9.9+10.2+10/5=10.4

Range : 0.4+0.6+0.4+0.6+0.6+0.6/5=0.52

2. Compute the average mean (X) and average range (R ) in above table.

3. If the standard deviation of population is known as 0.25, compute upper and lower limits for a X chart.

4. If the standard deviation of population is unknown, compute upper and lower limits for a X chart. (Obtain the Factor from the Factor table and use it in calculation)

5. Compute the upper and lower limits for a R chart. (Obtain the Factor from the Factor table and use it in calculation)

6. Construct (Draw) a X chart and R chart for this process with three-sigma limits. Is the process in control?

What do you think about my thought?

Based on my personality I learn best as a visual learner. The reason why I am a visual learner is because I like to see information and how the relationships are tied together between ideas. I learn best by watching or reading demonstrations. When studying I like to do so in quiet areas with little to no disturbance which is why nights work best for me (kids are in bed sleeping). I also like live presentations where you can questions to get clarifications that might not be so clear. I also learn well when many examples or real life situations are use to bring the point home.

I do believe you can missing learning somethings if the information is not properly presented. I also miss things if presenter is boring with their delivery or if they are distracting in their delivery.

Q1. Jamie wants to forecast the number of students who will enroll in operations management next semester in order to determine how many sections to schedule. He has accumulated the following enrollment data for the past six semesters:

a (2 pts). Compute a three-semester moving average forecast for semesters 4 through 7 (Model a) (Use two decimals).

b (3 pts). Compute the exponentially smoothed forecast (α = .20) for semesters 1 through 7 (Model b) (Use two decimals).

c (3 pts). Compare the two forecasts using MAD and indicate the most accurate.

MAD (model a) =

MAD (model b) =

The workers at Olisur Olive Oil Factory, work four days a week, 15 hours a day. Each day of the week, at least the following numbers of workers are needed: on weekdays 105 workers per day; on weekends 45 workers per day. There are 165 workers in the factory. Formulate a linear programming model that will reveal a schedule for the workers to maximize the sum of their consecutive days off (define decision variables; indicate objective function, constraints, and sign restrictions, if any).

Hint: A worker, who is not scheduled to work on Wednesdays, Thursday and Friday has 3 consecutive days off. If a worker is not scheduled to work on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays, then s/he has 2 consecutive days off (Sunday & Monday); but if s/he is not scheduled to work on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, then that worker has no consecutive days off.

1. Based on a company you know, provide ONE real life example of related pieces of data, information and knowledge, and discuss how one is incorporated into the next. Briefly explain your answer.

Tastee Mart sells Frostee Flakes. Demand for Frostee Flakes is 500 boxes per week. Tastee
Mart has a holding cost of 30 percent and incurs a fixed cost of $100 for each replenishment
order it places for Frostee Flakes. Given that cost is $2 per box of Frostee Flakes, i) how
much should Tastee Mart order in each replenishment lot? ii) If a trade promotion lowers the
price of Frostee Flakes to $1.80 (d=$0.2) for one month, how much should Tastee Mart order
given the short-term price reduction? iii) What will be the forward buy? iv) For how many
periods will the forward buy be enough? V) What will be the cycle inventory over these
periods?
