Imagine your firm is going to start a new project and you have been given a task to perform breakeven analysis. How will you perform different breakeven analysis? Explain with help of numerical example. (Students should create his/her own example)
Describe the bounds, limitations, requirements, proportional relationships, and balance constraints: Korey is a business student at State U. She has just completed a course in decision models, which had a midterm exam, a final exam, individual assignments, and class participation. She earned an 86% on the midterm, 94% on the final, 93% on the individual assignments, and 85% on participation. The benevolent instructor is allowing his students to determine their own weights for each of the four grade components—of course, with some restrictions: The participation weight can be no more than 15%. The midterm weight must be at least twice as much as the individual assignment weight. The final exam weight must be at least three times as much as the individual assignment weight. The weights of the four components must be at least 10%. The weights must sum to 1.0 and be nonnegative.

Rob is a newly minted Product Owner, and he is excited to get started with the Product Backlog prioritization process. Before receiving the Product Owner assignment for creating the new Work from Home App for Clear Logistics, Rob held the title of Search Engine Optimization Specialist. In only a few years with the Houston-based company, he had progress up the ladder quickly. His director once made the following comment about Rob: “Man! He makes sure to treat the customer right all the time ... and they get what they want! He’s the best!” The Work from Home App is a big project that was initiated by the leadership team, notably from CEO Marcella Lopez. Given the Covid-19 pandemic, she now believes that working remotely on a permanent basis is necessary for nearly 90% of the staff. To improve the communication process, this app will allow the teams to stay connected throughout the workday. Rob has a clear vision of the key features that should be on the app, and he wants to make the…
A significant question that faces all analysts is how much effort to expend studying and documenting the existing system (if one exists). Excess attention to an existing system can consume considerable time and can result in simply updating that system with newer technology. As a result, no matter how inefficient the current system is, system developers simply reimplement the procedures that are already in place. On the other hand, if a new system inherits many or all of the requirements of an existing system, then an analyst risks missing important requirements through insufficient study of the existing system. To minimize both risks, analysts must balance the review of current business functions with discovery of new system requirements. It is still critical to have a complete correct set of system requirements, but in today’s fast-paced world, there is no time or money to review all the old systems and document all the inefficient procedures. In fact, in today’s development…
An electricity power plant was redesigned so that the old system consisting of a single large display screen which could be seen by all of a team of three operators was replaced by individual workstation screens for operators. This worked well until there was a problem which resulted in dangerous gases being released. The team of operators had great difficulty in finding the source of the problem and deciding what to do. Because they no longer have access to all the information, they have to spend time explicitly co-ordinating their understanding of the situation by talking to each other. Under the old system, the knowledge would be shared – one operator would know what was happening with another’s area of the plant without explicit communication. Although the team’s individual responsibilities would still have been clearly divided, the knowledge of the system would be shared. How could the new system of individual workstations be modified to make better use of distributed cognition?
(Please do not give solution in image format thanku) Develope a 3 level work breakdwon structure (including level 1,2 and 3) the work break down structure is based on the following project. Improving Customer Service Response Time for a clothing company. additional informationa can be added to the work break down struture to create the different levels The motivation behind this project is to improve customer satisfaction by reducing response time for customer service inquiries. Currently, customers are waiting an average of 48 hours to receive a response to their inquiries, resulting in frustration and dissatisfaction. By implementing a new customer service ticketing system and training customer service agents on effective communication and problem-solving techniques, response time can be reduced to 24 hours or less.
Dingizwe Manufacturing Corporation has a flat-file processing system. The information processing facility is very large. Different applications, such as order processing, production planning, inventory management, accounting systems, payroll, and marketing systems, use separate tape and disk files. The corporation has recently hired a consulting firm to investigate the possibility of switching to DBMS. REQUIRED: Prepare a memo to the top management team at Dingizwe explaining the advantages of a DBMS. Also, discuss the necessity of a database administrator and the job functions this person would perform
A fundamental trade-off in the design of any business system is between efficiency and flexibility: one can't have ultimate efficiency and infinite flexibility at the same time. The simplification and standardization required to improve the efficiency of an operation inevitably restrict the things the system can do. In addition, the short-term changes and decisions needed to make an operation more flexible inevitably disrupt the smooth and predictable process flow needed for optimal efficiency. In the readings, you have seen that different system design philosophies and tools tend to generate different balances between efficiency and flexibility, which, in theory, allows you to design a system with the optimal balance between the two. As you have learned, the optimal balance between efficiency and flexibility depends on the competitive environment an organization expects to face in the future. You have also learned in this course that the future is notoriously hard to predict,…
