Top administrators in a hospital have approved a project to improve the efficiency of pharmaceutical services department by the end of the fiscal year to satisfy new state regulations for the coming year. However, they are concerned about four potential threats (1) the cost to implement the changes may be excessive (2) the pharmacists may resist changes (3) the project may run much longer than expected and not be ready for coming fiscal year, (4) The changes might reduce the quality of drug care in the hospital. The likelihood and negative impact of each threat have been solicited from the managers and are as follows, based on a seven-point scale where seven is the most likely and most negative impact.   Threat Probability Impact 1 5 3 2 6 5 3 3 4 4 4 7 Construct a risk matrix and identify what you would consider to be critical, monitor and ignore threats.

MOORE HOUSING CONTRACTORS Moore Housing Contractors is negotiating a deal with Countryside Realtors to build six houses in a new develop- ment. Countryside wants Moore Contractors to start in late winter or early spring, when the weather begins to moder- ate, and build on through the summer and into the fall. The summer months are an especially busy time for the realty company, and it believes it can sell the houses almost as soon as they are ready, and maybe even before. The houses all have similar floor plans and are of approximately equal size; only the exteriors are noticeably different. The comple- tion time is so critical for Countryside Realtors that it is insisting that a project management network accompany the contractor's bid for the job, with an estimate of the comple- tion time for a house. The realtor also needs to be able to plan its offerings and marketing for the summer. It wants each house to be completed within 45 days after it is started. Activity b C d f 8 h i j k…

Whitbread World Sailboat Race   Question: Their rationale for project crashing. The relationship between the project duration and crash costs. Risks related to crash costs.

Case Study 1: Project Management – Decision Trees   A local toy manufacturer has three different mechanisms that can be installed in a doll that it sells. The different mechanisms have three different setup costs (overheads) and variable costs and, therefore, the profit from the dolls is dependent on the volume of sales. The anticipated payoffs are as follows:     Light Demand Moderate Demand Heavy Demand Probability 0.25 0.45 0.3 Wind-up action $325,000 $190,000 $170,000 Pneumatic action $300,000 $420,000 $400,000 Electrical action -$400,000 $240,000 $800,000   What is the ultimate objective in the use of decision trees to product design? How is this objective accomplished?    Draw the decision tree.   What is the EMV of each decision alternative?    Which action should be selected?

Need help solving these two A and B.

Identify a potential improvement in the sustainability design process, site design, water systems design, closing material loops with alternative products and services, and indoor environmental quality, commissioning, and supply chain considerations to recommend for Chipotle Mexican Grill. Be sure to clearly explain the reasoning for each improvement and what you will need to do to apply them (i.e. budget and schedule). Further identify potential trade-offs, concerns, or risks that may be associated with these decisions (i.e. technology not ready, cost, timing, internal conflict, lacking commitment, etc.). Include specific suppliers of materials or services that may fit potential needs.

What is an activity slope and what does it indicate?

The Stone River Textile Mill was inspected by OSHA and found to be in violation of a number of safety regulations. The OSHA inspectors ordered the mill to alter some existing machinery to make it safer (add safety guards, etc.); purchase some new machinery to replace older, dangerous machinery; and relocate some machinery to make safer passages and unobstructed entrances and exits. OSHA gave the mill only 35 weeks to make the changes; if the changes were not made by then, the mill would be fined $300,000. The mill determined the activities in a CPM/PERT network that would have to be completed and then estimated the indicated activity times, as shown in the following table: Construct the project network for this project and determine the following: a. Expected activity times b. Earliest and latest activity times and activity slack c. Critical path d. Expected project duration and variance e. The probability that the mill will be fined $300,000

Construct a project checklist model for screening these four alternatives and which is the best and worst choice for selection?

Which method for determining activity time estimates,deterministic or probabilistic, do you perceive to be preferable? Explain.
