Scenario:
You are a part of the visitor use management team at the Great North Woods National Park. You
and your colleagues have been tasked with refining the rules and regulations for the heavily used South Fork Management Unit (one of five MUs in the park). The South Fork MU is home to the very popular South Fork Trail, and sees heavy usage from visitors engaged in hiking, trail running, and backpacking. Currently, management is particularly interested in (1) the parking area associated with the South
Fork Trailhead, (2) the use levels on the South Fork Trail, and (3) the ecological condition of the trail itself. Specifically, your group has been asked to define standards of quality and appropriate management activities for these three areas, using a normative approach. Data from a visitor survey will form the basis of your work. Part 1: As a class
Identify a standard of quality for wait times to find a parking spot at the South Fork Trailhead 1.
Calculate mean scores for responses to survey question 1
2.
Use mean scores to create a norm curve, and identify the following elements:
a.
Optimum condition
b.
Minimum acceptable condition
c.
Range of acceptable conditions
d.
Range of unacceptable conditions
3.
Using the norm curve, define the standard of quality
4.
Describe appropriate rules/regulations to maintain acceptable conditions
5.
Describe corrective management activities to be applied if the standard is exceeded
Part 2: In small groups
Conduct a similar process for encounters on the South Fork Trail (question 2), and trail conditions of the South Fork Trail (question 3).
Record your responses to each question. Be specific!!
Report your work to the larger group for feedback.

Boston Executive, Inc., produces executive limousines and currently manufactures the mini-bar inset at these costs: (refer the attached image)
The company received an offer from Elite Mini-Bars to produce the insets for $2,100 per unit and supply 1,000 mini-bars for the coming year’s estimated production. If the company accepts this offer and shuts down production of this part of the business, production workers and supervisors will be reassigned to other areas. Assume that for the short-term decision-making process demonstrated in this problem, the company’s total labor costs (direct labor and supervisor salaries) will remain the same if the bar inserts are purchased.
The specialized equipment cannot be used and has no market value. However, the space occupied by the mini-bar production can be used by a different production group that will lease it for $55,000 per year. Should the company make or buy the mini-bar insert?

3.Silicon Valley Transport Commission (SVTC) has a fleet of maintenance vehicles that includes cars, vans, and trucks. SVTC is currently evaluating four different approaches to help them maintain their fleet of cars and vans efficiently at the lowest possible cost. Their options are: (1) No preventive maintenance at all and repair vehicle components when they fail; (2) Take oil samples at regular intervals and perform whatever preventive maintenance is indicated by the oil analysis; (3) Perform an oil change on a regular basis on each vehicle and perform repairs when needed; (4) perform oil changes at regular intervals, take oil samples regularly, and perform maintenance repairs as indicated by the sample analysis.
Option #1 costs nothing to implement and results in two possible outcomes: There is a .10 probability that a defective component will occur, requiring emergency maintenance at a cost of $1,200, or there is a chance that no defects will occur and no maintenance will be…

Under gate-usage agreements, aircraft schedule use of gates is coordinated with airport management and other air carriers serving the airport. These air carriers usually have relatively few operations scheduled at the airport and airport operators can maximize the number of aircraft that may use gates over the course of the day. Which agreement does this represent?

Problem 13-11 (Algo)
The state and local police departments are trying to analyze crime rates so they can shift their patrols from decreasing-rate areas to
areas where rates are increasing. The city and county have been geographically segmented into areas containing 5,650 residences.
The police recognize that not all crimes and offenses are reported: people do not want to become involved, consider the offenses too
small to report, are too embarrassed to make a police report, or do not take the time, among other reasons. Every month, because of
this, the police are contacting by phone a random sample of 1,170 of the 5,650 residences for data on crime. (Respondents are
guaranteed anonymity.) Here are the data collected for the past 12 months for one area:

Problem 10-31
A long-distance telephone company uses a fiber-optic network to transmit phone calls and other information between locations. Calls are carried through cable lines and switching nodes. A portion of the company's transmission network is shown here. The numbers above each arc show the capacity in thousands of
messages that can be transmitted over that branch of the network.
To keep up with the volume of information transmitted between origin and destination points, use the network to determine the maximum number of messages that may be sent from a city located at node 1 to a oty located at node 7.

The Bright Learners school district is looking
to expand and is being allowed to build a new
school. The only space available
is in a residential zone, but the zoning
ordinance has an exception for public schools
written into it. Because the area is zoned for
residential use, the school district most likely
has a(n):
illegal nonconforming use
legal nonconforming use
special exception

The downtown Kingston and Saint Andrew Centre were built for $400 million JAD in 2010 (Reid, 2012). The Centre is owned by the Jamaican Urban Development Corporation (UDC) and was formerly managed and operated by the Kingston and Saint Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC) (Reid, 2012). Built as a multipurpose bus and taxi part the centre’s main function was to alleviate traffic congestion in downtown Kingston, especially in the parade area. The centre has become dilapidated and unmanageable due to a lack of usage by transport operators, commuters, implementation, enforcement, and a failure to have an effective transportation policy (Teachdem. n.d.).
“The transportation Centre, which was designed to restore order to the public transportation system in downtown Kingston has failed miserably as most commuters, bus and taxi operators have ignored the facility which detractors say was built in the middle of nowhere” (Radio Jamaica News (RJR), 2012, para. 2).
Major concerns by commuters are…
