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?
Complaints have come to the department manager regarding timeliness of requests for patient information and a decision must be made. Three months ago, Community Hospital opened a 24-hour urgent-care center 10 miles away in a rapidly growing community. Kent Jones, the health information services manager, took part in the planning that included the use of a combined record and one patient identification number. The decision was made to allow electronic sharing of patient records between the facilities; however, at present it is necessary to fax some portions of the record upon request. In the past month, Kent has received four complaints from the urgent care center that records were not faxed in a timely manner. There are 26 employees in health information services. Three full-time employees care for record activity during the day, with one employee devoted to record activity during the evening shift, when a team leader and four other employees are usually in the department. During the…

Ritz Products’s materials manager, Tej Dhakar,must determine whether to make or buy a new semiconduc-tor for the wrist TV that the firm is about to produce. Onemillion units are expected to be produced over the life cycle.If the product is made, start-up and production costs of themake decision total $1 million, with a probability of .4 thatthe product will be satisfactory and a .6 probability that itwill not. If the product is not satisfactory, the firm will haveto reevaluate the decision. If the decision is reevaluated, thechoice will be whether to spend another $1 million to redesignthe semiconductor or to purchase. Likelihood of success thesecond time that the make decision is made is .9. If the secondmake decision also fails, the firm must purchase. Regardlessof when the purchase takes place, Dhakar’s best judgment ofcost is that Ritz will pay $.50 for each purchased semiconduc-tor plus $1 million in vendor development cost.a) Assuming that Ritz must have the semiconductor…
Project Risk Analysis Sydney, Australia’s M5 East Tunnel was constructed under strict budgetary and schedule requirements, but given the massive traffic delays now hampering commuters, the requirements may have been excessive. Due to an inexpensive computer system with a high failure rate, the tunnel’s security cameras frequently fail, requiring the operators to close the tunnel due to inability to react to an accident, fire, or excessive pollution inside the tunnel. The tunnel was built to handle 70,000 vehicles a day, but it now carries 100,000, so any glitch can cause immediate traffic snarls. A managerial risk analysis, including the risk of overuse, might have anticipated these problems and mandated a more reliable set of computers once the costs of failure had been included. Required: As the project manager, discuss the risk management process you think might have identified the danger in using a cheap computer system Discuss the type of risk analysis approach you think would…
