- The Tinkan Company produces one-pound cans for the Canadian salmon industry. Each year the salmon spawn during a 24-hour period and must be canned immediately. Tinkan has the following agreement with the salmon industry. The company can deliver as many cans as it chooses. Then the salmon are caught. For each can by which Tinkan falls short of the salmon industrys needs, the company pays the industry a 2 penalty. Cans cost Tinkan 1 to produce and are sold by Tinkan for 2 per can. If any cans are left over, they are returned to Tinkan and the company reimburses the industry 2 for each extra can. These extra cans are put in storage for next year. Each year a can is held in storage, a carrying cost equal to 20% of the cans production cost is incurred. It is well known that the number of salmon harvested during a year is strongly related to the number of salmon harvested the previous year. In fact, using past data, Tinkan estimates that the harvest size in year t, Ht (measured in the number of cans required), is related to the harvest size in the previous year, Ht1, by the equation Ht = Ht1et where et is normally distributed with mean 1.02 and standard deviation 0.10. Tinkan plans to use the following production strategy. For some value of x, it produces enough cans at the beginning of year t to bring its inventory up to x+Ht, where Ht is the predicted harvest size in year t. Then it delivers these cans to the salmon industry. For example, if it uses x = 100,000, the predicted harvest size is 500,000 cans, and 80,000 cans are already in inventory, then Tinkan produces and delivers 520,000 cans. Given that the harvest size for the previous year was 550,000 cans, use simulation to help Tinkan develop a production strategy that maximizes its expected profit over the next 20 years. Assume that the company begins year 1 with an initial inventory of 300,000 cans.Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. Is Ben Gibson acting legally? Is he acting ethically? Why or why not?Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner.

- 2. Analyze the situation and answer the following questions. Ed and Barbara Bonneau started their wholesale sunglass distribution firm 30 years ago with $1,000 of their own money and $5,000 borrowed from a country banker in Ed’s hometown. The firm grew quickly, selling sunglasses and reading glasses to such companies as Wal-Mart, Eckerd Drugs, and Phar-Mor. In addition, the Bonneaus enjoyed using the company to do good things. For example, they had a company chaplain, who was available when employees were having family problems, such as a death in the family.Although the company had done well, the market had matured recently and profit margins narrowed significantly. Wal-Mart, for example, was insisting on better terms, which meant significantly lower profits for the Bonneaus. Previously, Ed had set the prices that he needed to make a good return on his investment. Now, the buyers had consolidated, and they had the power. Ed didn’t enjoy running the company as much as he had in the…A goldsmith makes two types of jewelry.

- State some key types of applications of the minimum spanning tree problem?Clippers Inc. (CI) manufactures two types of garden clippers. A light-duty model, called the “half-inch,”is intended for clipping branches and stems up to one-half inch thick. The “one-inch” model is designedfor heavier stems and branches. To boost sales, CI decided at the beginning of the current year to reducethe price of the half-inch model to better position its price relative to some key competitors. On the otherhand, CI felt that the one-inch model was technically superior to competitors’ models and decided that asmall price increase was appropriate. The data for the current and prior year are as follows:Current Year Prior YearSales units 7,200 6,500Sales mix for each productHalf-inch model 50% 30%One-inch model 50% 70%PriceHalf-inch model $12.00 $14.00One-inch model $36.00 $32.00Variable cost per unitHalf-inch model $6.00 $6.00One-inch model $8.00 $8.00Fixed cost $35,000 $35,000Required1.

- ProFood Supply Company This case revolves around the issue of sales strategy. Jon is faced with two alternative sales strategies for trying to make his sales quota. Neither appears to be a good short term solution. Summary ProFood Supply Company, founded in New York in 1960, has grown steadily over the decades to become one of the largest full-service institutional food suppliers in the nation, selling perishable and non-perishable foods and foodservice supplies such as tablecloths, napkins, and tableware. In the past year, ProFood had begun an aggressive push into a new market segment, the hotel/motel restaurant market. Jon Menzes, the ProFood sales representative in Nashville, Tennessee, has been with the company for two years and hopes to move into management someday. His sales manager, Emily Lewis, told him that if he finished the year over 100% of his sales versus quota that he would be put into the pool of candidates considered for a promotion during the next twelve months.
