Provide recommendations for FAE technologies that will maximize profit. Also include base, worst, and best case scenario calculations and provide a scenario summary. Be sure to also consider the outsourcing alternative and make a recommendation on which alternative has the most profit potential. Lastly, include a breakeven amount of units sold for the worst-case without outsourcing.

PROBLEM STATEMENT Based on studies that have been conducted, entry bookings for flight tickets sometimes deviate from what is booked by customers who want to board the plane to their desired destination. the existing system is not able to identify bookings made by customers properly. therefore, the existing system needs to be upgraded. Using a new flight ticket management system will be able to solve the problem. Secondly, the charge calculations performed still use the old method of calculation and take time to complete one calculation after another. With the new management system, the calculation and displayed total charges can be done automatically. Sometimes it is quite difficult for us to calculate the discounts given to customers who book flight tickets with large bookings. this will result in incorrectly giving the actual price to the customer and may result in losses. Moreover, with the new system, the amount of profit earned can be easily calculated. Lastly, daily…
Product Name: SMARTPAK (Smart Backpack) Product Description: The SMARTPAK makes use of cutting-edge technology to give you several benefits. It is easier to use because it contains several space-saving features and useful functionality. In this section, we go through the product's physical, mechanical, and chemical qualities, as well as how it may be used as a consumer commodity and an industry input. Task: (estimate, assume, anything will do); this is just a proposal. Plant Size and Production Schedule: Indicate minimum and maximum rated capacity of production. The number of shifts perday, the number of operating days per year
Tribal Systems, Inc., is opening a new plant and has yet todecide on the type of process to employ. A labor-intensiveprocess would cost $10,000 for tools and equipment and $14 for labor and materials per item produced. A more au-tomated process costs $50,000 in plant and equipment but has a labor/material cost of $8 per item produced. A fullyautomated process costs $300,000 for plant and equipmentand $2 per item produced. If process selection were basedsolely on lowest cost, for what range of production wouldeach process be chosen?
Walton, Inc. is unsure whether to sell its product assembled or unassembled. The unit cost of the unassembled product is $32, while the cost of assembling each unit is estimated at $34. Unassembled units can be sold for $110, while assembled units could be sold for $142 per unit. What decision should Walton make?

Suzy's Temporary Employee (STE) business, located in a big city, can do an online criminal background check in-house for $3.48 per search with a fixed cost of $30,000. A third-party online security firm offered to do a similar security search for $9.00 per person with an annual service contract with STE. If STE's forecast is 3,100 searches next year, should STE continue to do the search in-house or accept the third-party offer? Use the Excel template Break-Even to determine the best decision. Round your answer for the breakeven quantity to the nearest whole number and round your answer for the amount of saving/loss to the nearest dollar. Breakeven quantity: searches Since the demand forecast of 3,100 searches is than the breakeven quantity, STE outsource the work. STE $ by outsourcing.
PROBLEM-3) The Sales&Operations (S&OP) process is designed to produce a plan that all departmentswithin the organization, as well as suppliers to the organization, can work. The process is also sometimes referred toas sales, inventory, and operations planning (SIOP) to emphasize the important role that inventory can play as abuffer between sales planning and operations planning. The S&OP department of the XYZ company, that producesKLM products, estimates the sales over the next six years in thousands of packages will be as follows: Assume that each worker stays on the job for at least one year and XYZ currently has eight workers. XYZ estimatesthat they will have 600000 packages on hand at the end of the current year. Assume that, on average, eachworker is paid TL 60000 per year and is responsible for producing 80000 packages. Inventory costs have beenestimated to be 20 KRS per package per year, and shortages are not allowed. XYZ estimates that it costs TL 2500for each…
Question: No: 1 What will be the feasibility analysis of "freelancing"? highlight it in following key points; Product/service feasibility Industry/target market feasibility Organizational feasibility Financial feasibility Instructions: answer must not be copy pasted, original in context.
Focus on the difference between feasible alternatives (Principle 2)! Insulated concrete forms (ICF) can be used as a substitute for conventional wood framing in building construction. Heating and cooling bills will be about 50% less than in a similar wood-framed building in upstate New York. An ICF home will be approximately 10% more expensive to construct than a wood-framed home. For a typical 2,000 ft2 home costing $120 per ft2 to construct in upstate New York and costing $200 per month to heat and cool, how many months does it take for a 2,000 ft2 ICF home to pay back its extra construction cost?
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…

Eastman Publishing Company is considering publishing an electronic textbook about spreadsheet applications for business. The fixed cost of manuscript preparation, textbook design, and web-site construction is estimated to be $150,000. Variable processing costs are estimated to be $7 per book. The publisher plans to sell single-user access to the book for $49. (a) Build a spreadsheet model in Excel to calculate the profit/loss for a given demand. What profit can be anticipated with a demand of 3,400 copies? For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign. $ (b) Use a data table to vary demand from 1,000 to 6,000 in increments of 200 to test the sensitivity of profit to demand. Breakeven occurs where profit goes from a negative to a positive value, that is, breakeven is where total revenue = total cost yielding a profit of zero. In which interval of demand does breakeven occur? (i) Breakeven appears in the interval of 3,000 to 3,200 copies. (ii)…
