Executive summary
Major Electronics, a multi-plant assembler of computer products, is grappling with challenges in its traditional manufacturing overhead (MOH) allocation method. With a changing cost structure and uncertainties in cost drivers, the company faces two primary concerns: the interpretation of regression analysis results and the allocation of underutilized capacity costs.
The analysis revealed that correlation coefficients, while insightful, have limitations in providing
a comprehensive understanding of the relationships between cost drivers and MOH. Factors like causation, confounding variables, non-linear relationships, and omitted variables bias necessitate a cautious interpretation of correlation results.
To address the underutilized capacity issue, we recommend transitioning to an Activity-Based Costing (ABC) system. This approach involves identifying specific cost drivers for each MOH sub-classification based on activities. This solution aims to enhance accuracy in cost allocation, improve resource efficiency, and provide a nuanced understanding of product profitability.
The implementation of ABC comes with both advantages and challenges. While it offers improved cost accuracy, better resource allocation, and enhanced decision-making, it requires careful consideration of complexities, potential resistance to change, and the need for accurate and detailed data.
To align strategic objectives and performance indicators, we propose a Balanced Scorecard encompassing financial, customer, internal business processes, and learning and growth perspectives. This framework will guide Major Electronics in monitoring key performance indicators across different dimensions, allowing for adaptability based on evolving organizational needs.
In summary, Major Electronics is advised to approach cost allocation with a nuanced understanding of correlation analysis limitations and consider transitioning to an ABC system for
more accurate and informed decision-making. The Balanced Scorecard offers a comprehensive framework to align strategic objectives and monitor performance across crucial perspectives.
Case Identification – Issues
Two primary concerns have emerged from the committee's deliberations:
1. Interpretation of Regression Analysis:
There is a lack of clarity on how positive correlation coefficients imply a relationship between cost drivers and MOH.
2. Allocation of Underutilized Capacity Costs:
Some overhead costs relate to capacities greater than current production needs, leading to inefficiencies and potential unfairness in the allocation process.
Analysis Major Electronics, a multi-plant assembler of computer products, is facing challenges with its traditional manufacturing overhead (MOH) allocation method. The evolving cost structure, characterized by a decline in direct labor costs and an increase in direct materials and MOH costs, necessitates a review and revision of the existing MOH allocation process.
Current MOH Structure and Analysis
The MOH at Major Electronics is divided into three main groups: procurement, production, and support, each with further sub-classifications. A survey conducted across 40 plants identified significant cost drivers for MOH, and an analysis was performed to determine their correlation coefficients with MOH and its subcategories. This analysis revealed no uniform pattern across the plants, indicating the need for a tailored approach to MOH allocation.
Alternatives
Solving Issue #1
Quantitative Approach
Analyzing the relationship of Cost drivers with MOH Total Manufacturing Space:
Positive Relationship with Total MOH (0.57): There is a strong positive correlation between the total manufacturing space and total MOH. This suggests that as the manufacturing space increases, the total MOH also tends to increase.
Average Total Head-Count in Manufacturing:
Positive Relationship with Total MOH (0.86): There is a very strong positive correlation between
the average total head-count in manufacturing and total MOH. This indicates that as the number of employees in manufacturing increases, the total MOH also increases significantly.
Direct Labour Dollars:
Positive Relationship with Total MOH (0.73): There is a strong positive correlation between direct labor dollars and total MOH. This implies that as the direct labor costs increase, the total MOH tends to increase.
Direct Material Dollars:
Negative Relationship with Total MOH (-0.17): There is a weak negative correlation between direct material dollars and total MOH. This suggests that as direct material costs increase, the total MOH may decrease slightly, although the correlation is not very strong.
Number of Part Numbers:
Positive Relationship with Total MOH (0.13): There is a weak positive correlation between the number of part numbers and total MOH. This indicates that as the number of part numbers increases, the total MOH also slightly increases.
Percent of Parts Inspected on Receipt:
No Significant Relationship with Total MOH (0): There is no correlation (0 correlation coefficient) between the percent of parts inspected on receipt and total MOH. The two variables do not show a linear relationship.
Number of Products:
Positive Relationship with Total MOH (0.53): There is a strong positive correlation between the number of products and total MOH. This implies that as the variety of products increases, the total MOH also tends to increase.
Number of Customer Orders per Month:
Negative Relationship with Total MOH (-0.05): There is a very weak negative correlation between the number of customer orders per month and total MOH. This suggests a minimal decrease in total MOH as the number of customer orders increases.
Average Cycle Time in Days:
Positive Relationship with Total MOH (0.10): There is a weak positive correlation between the average cycle time in days and total MOH. This indicates that as the average cycle time increases, the total MOH also slightly increases.

You are the HIM manager for Happy Medical facility. In your monitoring of the facility’s compliance activities, you realize that your organization has a problem with denials for documentation. Your staff has reviewed the health records as well as the denials letters.
The top four problems identified were the following:
• History and physicals (H&Ps) do not meet medical staff bylaws for time of completion and content
. • Discharge summaries do not meet Joint Commission, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid guidelines for documentation, and medical staff regulations for completion and content.
• Progress notes are very brief and do not adequately describe the patient’s improvement or lack thereof.
• The diagnoses do not provide specificity.
Now that the problems have been identified, recommend steps to improve documentation for reimbursement issues.

OPM 301 Case 5 (HAND-Written, Individual submission)
CASE 5A: Using Drones as SCM logistic channel
Using drones to drop off packages could be great for buyers who might want to get certain items as fast as
humanly possible. Back in 2013, when Amazon revealed plans to begin delivering packages via flying
drones through Prime Air, some seemed skeptical about the reality of deploying such a system. Recently,
Amazon doubled down on those claims by releasing information on one of its new drones in action, and it is
seriously impressive.
A new video presented by former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson (who is working on a show for Amazon)
takes us through the entire process, from ordering, to warehouse launch, to delivery. The new drone looks a
lot different from the one Amazon showed us a couple of years ago. This one has a more commercial and
streamlined look, and instead of showing the package hanging in open air, the new drone hides the item in a
square compartment. Just Google "Amazon…

Mr Brian James is the new leader of a production team that manufactures furniture. Part of the manufacturing process includes gluing and nailing the components that make up the frame of furniture pieces.
Richard Marks, a member of the team, learned of a new type of wood adhesive. Richard conducted tests with the new adhesive and determined that it formed a stronger bond than the glue currently being used. Further, he obtained cost data which indicated that the new adhesive alone would produce a stronger bond than the old process of gluing and nailing.
Richard suggested a change in adhesives to Mr James who then sold the idea to top management. Mr James never told management that it was Richard's idea. He took all the credit for the process improvement and was even awarded a cash bonus.
It should be noted that part of the culture of the finn is one that prides itself in ensuring that the highest standards of ethical behaviour are practised throughout the company. Mrs Albenha, the…

CASE STUDY 4: JOSE'S AUTHENTIC MEXICAN RESTAURANT
"Two bean tacos, a chicken burrito grande, and a side order of Spanish rice, please".
Ivan Karetski called his table's order into the kitchen as he prepared the beverage orders.
Business was brisk. Karetski liked it that way. Lots of customers meant lots of tips and,
as a struggling graduate student, the extra income was greatly appreciated. Lately,
however, his tips had been declining. Jose is a small, 58-seat restaurant that offers a
reasonably broad range of Mexican food prepared and presented in a traditional Mexican
style. It is located in New England in a nature business district on the edge of a large
metropolitan area. The site is adjacent to a central artery and offers limited free off-street

The prison service provides an excellent example of the complexity of stakeholder requirements, to some extent reflecting the mixed task it faces.
Society requires the service to carry out potentially conflicting activities:
● to ensure that ‘dangerous criminals’ are locked up for the safety of society
● to provide a regime that will punish wrongdoers as a means of payment for their crimes
● to support inmates, providing counselling and training to rehabilitate and reform them, to reduce the likelihood of re- offending.
The principal stakeholders and their requirements are as follows:
● Government ministers with responsibility for the prison service will be concerned to fulfil manifesto promises while meeting spending targets. At the same time they will be concerned about stories of prisoner escapes or drug abuse that may be damaging to their personal reputation, possibly forcing their resignation.
● Prison governors will seek to provide an appropriate…
