Topic: Air Miles Canada:
AIR MILES is Canada’s largest coalition loyalty program, with more than ten million active Collector accounts and approximately two-thirds of Canadian households participating in the program. Collectors earn reward Miles by shopping with select sponsors, which can be used to redeem free flights, hotel accommodations, car bookings, merchandise, and more. AIR MILES has over 100 sponsors, including American Express, Toys R Us, Amazon, and more.
The Problem of the case,
The existing car and hotel booking experiences are drastically hurting conversion tunnels
Issues with the AIR MILES Travel booking experiences (flight, car, and hotel) is one, if not the greatest, driver of calls to the call centre, with wait times of up to 4 hours during peak seasons for travel. As a result, AIR MILES needed a redesign of the car and hotel booking experience to address the usability issues that are impacting the conversion tunnel and maintain consistency across the platform following the recent redesign of the flight booking experience.
Questions:
How would a data warehouse assist the marketing team at AIR MILES, going forward?
What functions would it perform that would be most useful?
Would a data-mining program be useful to AIR MILES?
Would it be helpful to Sponsors and Suppliers? If so, how? If not, why not?

Honda motor company has four vehicle manufacturing plants in various parts of the country. It is considering producing its own batteries for the vehicles that it builds instead of purchasing them from outside vendors. It could build one centralized location with a cost of $1,500,000 and each battery would cost $100, including shipping. If it builds four battery manufacturing plants near the vehicle manufacturing plants, each battery plant would cost $500,000 each, but the battery cost would be $80. Show your work/Explain for parts a-d.
a. Assuming each plant would produce 5,000 batteries each (so the single centrally located plant would produce all 20,000 batteries), which option would have the lowest costs?
b. If the production of batteries increased to 8,000 batteries per plant (or 32,000 batteries for the one centrally located plant), which option has the lowest costs?
c. What is the break-even point in terms of batteries produced?
d. If currently Ford needs 20,000 batteries but plans on producing more cars in the near future (so it would need more batteries), what should be considered when deciding which plan to follow?
