The Chiemsee Knee Replacement Clinic (CKRC) is a sports clinic located at the northern edge of the German Alps. It specializes in knee replacements for skiers who come to CKRC from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy. The clinic currently has one operating room (OR). However, since the clinic has dramatically more demand than capacity, the management team contemplates investing in a second OR. A lean consulting firm, however, suggests that before going ahead with installing new capacity, the clinic should first look at how it uses its existing capacity. The data collected by the consulting firm reveal that:• The OR is available for 12 hours a day; the hospital has decided to not perform any procedures between 7pm and 7am. This time is equally divided across three surgeons.• The standard procedure time for the knee surgery done at the clinic is 1h.• The cleaning and housekeeping that needs to happen after each procedure takes 20 minutes. Almost all of this time could be saved if…
Federated Electronics, Ltd., manufactures display screensand monitors for computers and televisions, which it sellsto companies around the world. It wants to construct a new warehouse and distribution center in Asia to serve emerg-ing markets there. It has identified potential sites in the port cities of Shanghai, Singapore, Pusan, Kaohsiung, and HongKong and has estimated the possible revenues for each(minus construction costs which are higher in some citieslike Hong Kong). At each site the projected revenues are primarily based on these factors, (1) the economic condi-tions at the port including the projected traffic, infrastruc-ture, labor rates and availability; and expansion and modernization; and (2) the future government situationwhich includes the political stability, fees, tariffs, duties,and trade regulations. Following is a payoff table thatshows the projected revenues (in $ billions) for six years given the four possible combinations for positive and nega-tive port and…

A distribution company is considering two locations for the construction of a new automated warehouse: Chicago and Dallas. Two types of automation are also being considered: bar coding and RF/ID (radio-frequency identification). The annual operating costs for each type of automation at the two locations are: Bar Coding RF/ID Location Fixed Cost Variable Cost per 1,000 units Fixed Cost Variable Cost per 1,000 units Chicago $1,800,000 $12.30 $2,700,000 $9.70 Dallas 1,500,000 13.10 2,300,000 9.40 For what range of annual product volume handled would each location and type of automation be preferred?
An enterprising New Product Development class has an idea to sell on campus custom-flavored, enriched bottles of water from dispensers which would add customers’ desired vitamins and natural flavors to each bottle. To assess profit potential, they need an estimate of demand for bottled water on campus. If demand exceeds the breakeven level of seven bottles per week per customer, the business would generate profit. The entrepreneurial class needs to know whether or not demand exceeds seven bottles per consumer per week, because below this level of demand, revenues wouldn’t cover expenses. Unless sample data indicates sufficient demand, the class will stop development. Since the class of entrepreneurs doesn’t know that the population mean is, they will estimate this mean using their sample data. They take a random sample of thirty students on campus and find that on average a student consumes 9.9 bottles per week. They also find that the sample standard deviation is 4.1 bottles per…
Whenever Toronto has severe snow storm, many flights are delayed and Pearson International Airport has to deploy resources to clear the apron, taxiways and runaways to ensure that the airport continues to remain operational in addition to making sure all the departing aircraft are completely de-iced before they take-off. This is a critical safety measure as aircraft with ice buildup on the wings or the fuselage during take-off can be catastrophic. At the same time, the de-icing operation is extremely time consuming and costly, and must be accurately factored into the forecast of an airport's operation to ensure optimal and safe performance. You are the Operations Manager at Pearson International Airport, and after reviewing the snowfall patterns for the last 10 years, you have determined the following probabilities: The chance of having a severe snow storm during the winter season is 0.15 The chance of having major flight delays during the winter season is 0.35 Amongst the days there…
The Boeing Company faces a critical strategic choice in its competition with Airbus Industries for the long-haul flight segment: Should it design and build a super-747 model that can carry 550 passengers at speeds around 350 mph, or a plane that can fly at 95 percent of the speed of sound but carry only about 350 passengers? As a member of Boeing's Planning Group, your task is to build a model to investigate the trade-offs involved in this decision.
California Wine producer Chill Wines has in their line a mid-market chardonnay, of whichthey produce 200,000 bottles a year. They have been bottling their wines with natural corkclosures, which are known to have sealing issues resulting in the spoilage of wine, aproblem that is worse in their chardonnay than in the other wines they sell. This problem,which results in a 15% spoilage rate for their chardonnay, is both expensive and impactsthe company’s reputation. They have researched several other closure products on themarket and have decided to try using a new closure in a test run of 91 bottles theirchardonnay. After allowing the wine to stay in the bottles for the time it generally takes toget it from the winery to customers, they tested the run and found 16 spoiled bottles. As thecompany has a both an immediate financial and reputation risk, they want to be 90% surethat changing the closures will help limit wine spoilage. What do their results suggest? a)What is known?

The Megabuck Hospital Corp. is to build a state-subsidized nursing home catering to homeless patients as well as high-income patients. State regulations require that every subsidized nursing home must house a minimum of 750 homeless patients and no more than 900 high-income patients in order to qualify for state subsidies. The overall capacity of the hospital is to be 1,800 patients. The board of directors, under pressure from a neighborhood group, insists that the number of homeless patients should not exceed twice the number of high-income patients. Due to the state subsidy, the hospital will make an average profit of $9,500 per month for every homeless patient it houses, whereas the profit per high-income patient is estimated at $8,000 per month. How many of each type of patient should it house in order to maximize profit? HINT [See Example 3.] (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) high-income patients: homeless: profit:
