After you complete the Practice Tasks, you learn about new developments at Game Technology. Your initial design was good, but the team leader wants you to try another approach. She put these questions to you: "Should corrective maintenance get a higher prioritythan other types of maintenance? Why or why not? Should cost-benefit issues be considered? If so, how would this be done?" Also, your security plan was good, but did not go far enough. The team leader wants you to include at least five more types of attacks, with examples and suggested responses.

Task 1. Revise the simulated attack plan by including five more types of attacks, with examples and suggested responses.

Task 2. Consider the team leader’s questions carefully. When you reply, include a revised grid design as needed.

You are a supply chain analyst for Good-Buy Inc., which is a large retail chain. Good-Buy

plans a one-month promotion that features a sale on accessories, including premium laptop bags.

The bags must be ordered six months in advance, which means they need to get their inventory

ordering decisions right. Good Buy predicts total demand for the bags to be normally distributed

with mean of 1000 and standard deviation of 250. You collect information from three sources

(VPs).

1. The VP of supply chain is most concerned about prots. He tells you that the bags are

purchased from a supplier at $15 apiece and will be priced at $40. Left over bags will be sold for

$5. What order quantity would make sense based on these numbers from the VP of supply chain?

2. The VP of Sales is concerned about aggregate sales. All he cares about is that you

maintain an in-stock probability level of at least 99%, in order to meet the most demand. What

order quantity would that correspond to?

3. The VP of Marketing is concerned about individual customers. All he cares about is

that you maintain a ll rate at least 99%. What order quantity would that correspond to?

1. Price Discrimination - Two Parts Pricing: Xerox

In early days, the Xerox Corporation faced the following pricing problem for its copying machines (there was hardly any competition then). There were two segments of potential users, the large users --whose copying needs were 20,000 copies per year – and the small users -- whose copying needs were 2,000 copies per year. Xerox found that a large user would be willing to pay as much as $25,800 to buy a Xerox machine provided supplies from Xerox were free of charge over the life of the machine; similarly, a small user would be willing to buy a Xerox machine for $6,700 provided Xerox supplies free supplies. The expected life of a machine is 5 years. There are equal numbers of large and small users. The total number of users is 200.

Xerox's marginal cost of producing each of these machines was estimated to be $1,900.
Its marginal cost of paper was $0.03 per sheet. Xerox used a 10% discount rate, i.e., if it generated an income of $1 each year for 5 years, then its present value of that income stream is 1/1.10+1/1.102+...+1/1.105)=$3.79

(1) What should be the selling price of these machines (bundled with paper) if Xerox decided to go with single price (assume that everyone pays the same price and the buyers must pay immediately).

(2) Xerox wonders if it can make more money leasing the machines instead of selling them. The leasing policy will involve a yearly rental charge (payable at the end of each year) and a charge per copy made (monitored via the copy meter on the machines) -- cumulated over each year and payable at the end of the year. Only one leasing plan -- i.e., a single rental charge and a single per-copy charge -- is being contemplated. What should be Xerox's leasing policy? (Assume that each user also uses a 10% discount rate).

(3) Explain in a few words why the leasing plan does better than the single price plan?
