At the beginning of each week, a machine is in one of four conditions: 1 = excellent; 2 = good; 3 = average; 4 = bad. The weekly revenue earned by a machine in state 1, 2, 3, or 4 is 100, 90, 50, or 10, respectively. After observing the condition of the machine at the beginning of the week, the company has the option, for a cost of 200, of instantaneously replacing the machine with an excellent machine. The quality of the machine deteriorates over time, as shown in the file P10 41.xlsx. Four maintenance policies are under consideration: Policy 1: Never replace a machine. Policy 2: Immediately replace a bad machine. Policy 3: Immediately replace a bad or average machine. Policy 4: Immediately replace a bad, average, or good machine. Simulate each of these policies for 50 weeks (using at least 250 iterations each) to determine the policy that maximizes expected weekly profit. Assume that the machine at the beginning of week 1 is excellent.

Please answer all subparts questions. Thank you Schedule D: Suppose the regular rate of production is 700 units per period. Further, you are allowed to produce 100 units during each of the periods 3,4, and 5 on an overtime basis, but the subcontractor has gone out of business. You can hire two temporary workers during the periods 3, 4, and 5. Each worker can produce 50 units per period at the regular cost. But it costs $200 to train a worker and check the quality of the product during each of the three periods. (23) The back-order cost for the fifth period is: (a) $200 (b) $400 (c) $500 (d) $1000 (e) none of the above (24) The total cost of meeting the demand is: (a) $17,700 (b) $18,900 (c) $18,300 (d) $17,200 (e) none of the above (25) Which of the following options would help the manager in minimizing the total costs?

Model the following fragment of a business process: Process 1: Once a loan application has been approved by the loan provider, an acceptance pack is prepared and sent to the customer. The acceptance pack includes a repayment schedule which the customer needs to agree upon by sending the signed documents back to the loan provider. The latter then verifies the repayment agreement: if the applicant disagreed with the repayment schedule, the loan provider cancels the application; if the applicant agreed, the loan provider approves the application. In either case, the process completes with the loan provider notifying the applicant of the application status.Process 2: A loan application is approved if it passes two checks: (i) the applicant’s loan risk assessment, done automatically by a system, and (ii) the appraisal of the property for which the loan has been asked, carried out by a property appraiser. The risk assessment requires a credit history check on the applicant, which is…
