Space Utilization - The perception process

Sherman Adder, assistant plant manager for Frame Manufacturing Company, is chairperson of the ad hoc committee for space utilization. The committee is made up of the various department heads in the company. The plant manager of Frame has given Sherman the responsibility for seeing whether the various office, operations, and warehouse facilities of the company are being optimally utilized. The company is beset by raising costs and the need for more space. However, before okaying an expensive addition to the plant, the plant manager wants to be sure that the currently available space is being utilized properly.

Sherman opened up the first committee meeting by reiterating the charge of the committee. The Sherman asked the members if they had any initial observations to make. The first to speak was the office manager, He stated; “Well, I know we are using every possible inch of room that we have available to us. But when I walk out into the plant, I see a lot of open spaces. We have people piled on top of one another, but out in the plant there seems to be plenty of rooms.” The production manager quickly replied: ‘We don not have a lot of space. Your office people have the luxury facilities. My supervisors don’t even have room for a desk and a file cabinet. I have repeatedly told the plant manager we need more space. After all, our operations determine whether this plant succeeds, or fall, not you people in the front office pushing paper around.” Sherman interrupted at this point and said: Obviously, we have different interpretations of the space utilization around here. Before further discussion I think it would be best if we have some objective facts to work with. I am going to ask the industrial engineer to provide us with some objective statistics on plant and office layouts before our next meeting. Today’s meeting is adjourned.”

Answer:

1. Do you think that Sherman’s approach to “getting facts” from statistics on plant and office layout will affect the perceptions of the office and production managers?

2. How does such information affect perception in general?

Activity 2: Diet plans Using the meal plans you designed in the Task, come up with a three-day meal plan for one of the three categories: 1. senior with Type II Diabetes 2. senior with heart disease on a low sodium or low cholesterol diet; 3. a healthy senior who has a very active outdoor life. Remember to make the meals inviting, tasty, and nutritious. They need to meet the USDA food recommendations for seniors. Project Assignment: Transcript: "Good morning, I am Mr. Oliver over at the Senior Center. As you might know, we provide meals at lunchtime for the seniors who use our center. This includes healthy senior citizens as well as those who attend our adult daycare for memory-impaired seniors. Even some of our healthy seniors have diets that restrict things like salt. What we need is some help with planning diets that would be healthy and appropriate for all of our seniors. We serve lunch every day and also provide coffee, tea, and snacks throughout the day. I am sure you know all about diets for seniors and restrictions for those with memory impairment who have trouble swallowing. If you could plan two weeks' worth of menus for any of the following: 1 ) healthy seniors without restrictions or 2) low salt diets or 3) a special two-week diet for those memory impaired seniors who have difficulty swallowing, it will really help us provide a wider variety of good-tasting foods for our seniors that are healthy. Many of our seniors live alone and don’t cook for themselves. Of course, some of them get dinners from Meals on Wheels, but others rely on this lunch for their major meal of the day."

Psychologists are interested in finding out what proportion of men and women have ended a budding relationship because a kiss did not go well. A survey was administered to a random sample of adults and asked each individual to disclose whether they ended a budding relationship because a kiss did not go well. The results of the survey are summarized in the table.

2. a) Identify whether the sampling method used in this study is independent or dependent. Explain.
3. b) Obtain a point estimate for the proportion of men who have ended a budding relationship because a kiss did not go well. Obtain a point estimate for the proportion of women who have ended a budding relationship because a kiss did not go well.
4. c) Does the data suggest that a lower proportion of men have ended a budding relationship because a kiss did not go well than women at the ? = 0.05 level of significance? Use the critical value method. (Show all six steps for hypothesis testing.)
5. d) Estimate the difference in proportion of men and women who have ended a budding relationship because a kiss did not go well with 90% confidence. Does the sample evidence suggest there is a difference between the two population proportions? If so, interpret and describe the difference by identifying which group has a lower proportion.
