The Tahan River Reservoir System

In Year 1 while in the Design room, I chose the Wifi and Stylish options. My intuitive thoughts were consumer based and not supplier driven. However, these combined options offered an estimated favorable profit for the company. While forecasting I chose to forecast below average for Model A and above average for Model B. Again, my decision making was consumer driven and I as a consumer would prefer a stylish mobile device over a base model, therefore estimated demand at a higher level. In choosing suppliers in Year 1, key drivers were lead times, setup and unit carrying costs, and capacity. The decision were also based off of my forecast for each model. I learned quickly as each month passed, I was out of inventory therefore, making a costly $2.0MM adjustment with one of my suppliers. In this scenario, if running the simulation again I would better match the supplier with the forecasted demand.

The situation facing Mr. Larry Brownlow is a tough one. He is young with minimal money to work with. This shows that he must be careful and research all of his investing activities closely. The problem that faces him is deciding if opening a Coors Beer brewery in his area of Delaware is a profitable investment. The beer is obviously not widely carried in the area so that makes the situation that much harder. He has less information to work with. This is why he contacted the Manson Research Firm. That presents the second problem. The firm will do the research to help do a feasibility analysis, but the information is not cheap. Larry is working with about two weeks until the deadline to submit an application for distributorship. He

)”The Hinze Dam is located in the Gold Coast Hinterland. Built across thee Nerang River, it was originally constructed in 1976, raised in 1989 and significantly upgraded in 2011”. (Seqwater, 2016) The Hinze Dam flows through Nerang, turns east towards Surfers, before entering the Broadwater at Southport (Gold Coast City Council: 2016) in 2007 the Hinze Dam was increased by 93.5 metres by 108.5 metres, and up by 15m. “It is an un-gated dam, meaning when it reached 100% Capacity, water flows over the spillway and out of the dam”. (Seqwater, 2016) The dams increase meant the height of the concrete spillway had to increase (15m), which also meant raising local bridges, providing an upstream fish transfer, but as a results this meant damaging surrounding

Water, a resource typically taken for granted is becoming a scarce source for the southwestern states surrounding the Colorado River. For the past sixteen years the southwestern states have been affected by drought, wildfire, an increasing population, farming, housing development and increasing temperatures all are affecting our water supply which is decreasing at a frightening rate. These increasing issues have nearly depleted Lake Mead, a large reservoir that supplies water to all the Colorado River Basin states, but due to climate change, this large reservoir is not being replenished. This is an important problem not only to me and to those already affected by low water resources, and it should be important to everyone, considering it will

In making a choice, the company needs to critically evaluate whether they possess the resources

Thinking critically and making decisions are important parts of today’s business environment. It is important to understand how the decision making process works and the steps involved. The nine steps of the decision making process are: identifying the problem, defining criteria, setting goals and objectives, evaluating the effect of the problem, identifying the causes of the problem, framing alternatives, evaluating impacts of the alternatives, making the decision, implementing the decision, and measuring the impacts. (Decision, 2007.) By using various methods and tools to assist in making important business decisions an individual can ensure the decisions they make will be as successful as possible. In this paper it

Perhaps one of the most difficult managerial decisions in the 21st century is the decision to make a decision. Analysis paralysis, endless meetings, and corporate structure have made it painstakingly difficult to come to any real conclusions. So when the Chief Financial Officer, Bruce Berman, of Bloomindale’s was tasked with decision to implement ProfitLogic’s Pricing Optimization (PO) system, he called upon Daniel Gabbay, an analyst in the finance division, to make sense of the numbers and guide his decision making process. Berman was considering implementing a PO system to quantify the markdown

They only had a few criteria in deciding on what kind of company that they wanted to buy. The first criteria was that the business must have a high gross margin to allow from maximum benefits from building sales. They decided it

The development of White Mountain is attractive because as it only involves incremental capital costs, and no loss in time in terms of selling the development.

The importance of decision making in individual daily life and in organization level was demonstrated by two scientists, Arkes and Hammond (1992), in ‘Judgment and Decision making’ indentified the four types of information which decision maker requires constructing a decision tree.

When people argue with decision analysis and its achievements they usually mention the story of DuPont, an American chemical company. It managed to successfully integrate risk and decision analysis functions to both operational and strategic levels. The company claimed that Desciison and Risk Analysis not only brought tangible benefits to the company, but also intangible, such as increased attention and commitment to actions (Krumm et Roll, 1992).

“Our investment depends on the market trend. For example, we used to pay attention on entertaining start-ups. Later on we identified the opportunities of B2B start-ups, then we turn the sights towards B2B firms. Market comes in waves, and we move according to the market trend.”
