Mo. The I Love Operations Management (ILOM) Conference, a major international conference, is staffed by student volunteers. One of the tasks of the student volunteers is to register conference attendees. The registration process involves confirming that fees have been paid, retrieving a conference package specific to that person (filed under their last name), and passing on relevant information about the conference. In 2023, conference registration will be handled by a group of 10 student volunteers who work in five pairs to register the attendees (i.e., each pair will together register one attendee at a time). Attendees line up in a common line to be served by the next available pair of volunteers. Attendees arrive at an average rate of 139 per hour (assume Poisson arrival distribution) and the service time is, on average, two minutes (following a negative exponential distribution).

With the rise of e-commerce and m-commerce, this conflict is likely to continue, as more and more companies are finding ways of making their products accessible online and on mobile apps. How insurance companies can manage this conflict? What startegies they should have, except One strategy to manage this conflict is to follow in Allstate’s footsteps by pairing local agents with each online transaction (Stackpole, 2001).

Another strategy to manage this conflict could be to use exclusive offerings. Kawasaki chose to sell only accessories on its website, so as not to impede business at its retailers (Stackpole, 2001).

The CEO is, however, concerned about the potential disruption that the implementation will have on operations.

They will work independently, in the background, and will not disrupt departmental and internal audit work flow with time consuming interviews, surveys, and questionnaires. This promises to be an efficient process that will produce a system that will…
