Your objective is to evaluate these alternatives using waiting line models and to provide a recommendation to FAA to solve the delay problem at Logan Airport. Also demonstrate that you understand the concepts and tools from the class that apply.
Prepare an action-oriented advisory report, which presents concisely your analysis and recommendations for solution of the primary management problems.
5-pages typewritten, one-and-half-spaced, using default margins and 12-point type. appendix that includes the details of the calculation, figures, tables, etc not exceed 2 pages.
- Start with an executive summary (maximum 0.5 pages), which summarizes your recommendations and findings.
- The main body: detailed discussion based on the

Indicate why you think these are secondary.
Recommendations
Give the details of your recommendations. Take a stand for action. Do not merely suggest "more study" or "call in a consultant." Direct your recommendations to eliminating the underlying causes, not merely minimizing or eliminating the symptoms. Indicate precisely how these will help to alleviate the problem. Provide supporting analysis. Include the most significant and relevant facts, assumptions and principles. Include computational support. May discuss major alternatives that you rejected with a brief explanation of your reasons for rejecting them. Discuss the results you expect in greater detail, give support, and indicate when you anticipate the realization of the benefits. Be realistic. Identify major costs necessary for implementation. (This should be the primary section.)
Limitations: Discuss limitations of analysis or recommendations. Might include assumptions made but not comfortable with, or impediments to success that may prove more difficult than you expect. Discuss potential disadvantages of your recommendations. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR “THE DELAYS AT LOGAN AIRPORT”
The below questions are of two types. Those with a calculator figure ( ) indicate the involvement of a quantitative analysis (might also involve some qualitative discussion). The other questions are to initiate a broader discussion of the case study based on the managerial insights that can be developed from quantitative
The Denver Airport Project is made up of individuals and groups from different areas of the organization with a specified
2.1 Evaluate the decision making models which are used to support decision making 2.2 Identify those to be involved in analysing information and decision making 2.3 Evaluate methods of presenting decisions made
a. Assume normal, good weather capacity and a 70% passenger load factor. Using the attached Excel exercise, what are the pre plane delay times and operational and passenger delay costs associated with arrival rates of 50 planes per hour, for all three types of planes mentioned? At 55 planes per hour? At 59?
Briefly indicate key uncertainties about your conclusions and your concept/solution. Identify what additional research would be valuable, if any.
Evaluate how implementing best practices would have reduced the chances for failure. Provide support for your rationale.
The body of the papers should be approximately 500 words (2 pages); there should also be a title page and a reference page.
This requires a properly formatted outline, a comprehensive outline that addresses key points, and a brief summary of key points
Develop an alternative solution based on your own research using 3 to 5 academic sources from journals, professional organizations, and websites.
* To create a presentation with valid proposals and recommendations to be shared with senior leadership team, by the end of February
1. Analyze how the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) apply to the facts of the case study. Provide examples to support your analysis.
Open-ended questions such as these will generate energy in the class, though the instructor should take care to limit the amount of time spent in this phase of the class, since students will find it easy to offer observations about the firm’s apparent strategy and financial performance. By letting the students assess the problems of this company in a nondirective fashion, the instructor can gauge students’ abilities and build students’ “ownership” of the analysis. The next three questions are a directive approach to problem assessment and could supplement this question or be used in place of it.
Question “1”: Roles and activities of a manager (explain one theory by linking with the case study):
Provide an action plan for the implementation and communication of the solution. Your action plan should include actions, timescales and required
This case study outlines the steps taking by a committee to during the process as well as the solution to those problems will be discussed.
This Assignment will develop your skills in industry analysis. This must be done as individual work, so you must not discuss the case with anyone else before completing the Assignment. Please use the following questions to structure your answer:
