- Scenario 4 Sharon Gillespie, a new buyer at Visionex, Inc., was reviewing quotations for a tooling contract submitted by four suppliers. She was evaluating the quotes based on price, target quality levels, and delivery lead time promises. As she was working, her manager, Dave Cox, entered her office. He asked how everything was progressing and if she needed any help. She mentioned she was reviewing quotations from suppliers for a tooling contract. Dave asked who the interested suppliers were and if she had made a decision. Sharon indicated that one supplier, Apex, appeared to fit exactly the requirements Visionex had specified in the proposal. Dave told her to keep up the good work. Later that day Dave again visited Sharons office. He stated that he had done some research on the suppliers and felt that another supplier, Micron, appeared to have the best track record with Visionex. He pointed out that Sharons first choice was a new supplier to Visionex and there was some risk involved with that choice. Dave indicated that it would please him greatly if she selected Micron for the contract. The next day Sharon was having lunch with another buyer, Mark Smith. She mentioned the conversation with Dave and said she honestly felt that Apex was the best choice. When Mark asked Sharon who Dave preferred, she answered, Micron. At that point Mark rolled his eyes and shook his head. Sharon asked what the body language was all about. Mark replied, Look, I know youre new but you should know this. I heard last week that Daves brother-in-law is a new part owner of Micron. I was wondering how soon it would be before he started steering business to that company. He is not the straightest character. Sharon was shocked. After a few moments, she announced that her original choice was still the best selection. At that point Mark reminded Sharon that she was replacing a terminated buyer who did not go along with one of Daves previous preferred suppliers. Ethical decisions that affect a buyers ethical perspective usually involve the organizational environment, cultural environment, personal environment, and industry environment. Analyze this scenario using these four variables.Scenario 4 Sharon Gillespie, a new buyer at Visionex, Inc., was reviewing quotations for a tooling contract submitted by four suppliers.

- Adam has been offered to open up a Service station. However, the size of the establishment will be based on his decision. The annual return and investment required will be based on both size and market condition. To help out in the decision making, Adam has done the analysis and the expected profit/loss are shown in the table: Develop a decision table for this? What is the maximax decision? What is the equally likely decision? Develop a decision tree. Assume each outcome is equally likely, then find the highest expected monetory value (EMV).See the answer A local movie studio wants to determine which of two new scripts they should select for their next major production. The manager feels that script #1 has a 70% chance of earning Php100 million over the long run, but a 30% chance of losing Php20 million. If this movie is successful, then a sequel could also be produced, with an 80% chance of earning Php50 million, but a 20% chance of losing Php10 million. On the other hand, she feels that script #2 has a 60 % chance of earning Php120 million, but a 40% chance of losing Php30 million. If successful, its sequel would have a 50% chance of earning $80 million and a 50% chance of losing Php40 million. As with the first script, if the original movie is a "flop," then no sequel would be produced. What is the expected payoff from selecting script #2?Problem 3: A group of doctors is considering the construction of a private clinic. IF the medical demand is high (favorable market for the clinic), the physicians could realize a profit of P1,000,000. If the market is not favorable they could lose P400,000. If they don’t proceed at all, there is no cost. In the absence of any market research, the best the physician can guess is that there is a 50-50 chance the clinic will be successful. Required: Construct a decision tree to help analyze this problem. What should the doctors do? Problem 4: Continuing with problem 3, a firm open to conduct a market research involving the proposed venture and using analytical tools can give an accurate information, thus gave the following info: Probability of a favorable market given a favorable study is 0.82 Probability of an unfavorable market given a favorable study is 0.18 Probability of a favorable market given an unfavorable study is 0.11 Probability…

Immediate Predecessor(s) A 25 - B 18 A C 20 A D 5 B, C E 12 C F 8 E G 16 D, F H 12 G Use one of the heuristic decision rules described in Table below to balance the assembly line so that it will produce 90 units per hour. Clearly state the decision rule you use and complete the below table using the selected rule. Decision Rule Logic Longest work element Picking the candidate with the longest time to complete is an effort to fit in the most difficult elements first, leaving the ones with short times to “fill out” the station. Shortest work element This rule is the opposite of the longest work element rule because it gives preference in workstation assignments to those work elements that are quicker. It can be tried…John Corner, chief engineer of Offshore Chemicals, Inc., have to decide whether to build a new processing facility based on an experimental technology.
