Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. As the Marketing Manager for Southeastern Corrugated, what would you do upon receiving the request for quotation from Coastal Products?
Jordan Airline routinely overbooks its flights from Dallas to Florida. Overbooking discounted seats can be expensive because providing a bumped passenger with a last-minute flight on a competing carrier can cost $2,200. A 150-passenger jet costs about $150,000 to operate from Raleigh to Atlanta. The average ticket price is $2,000. Table.

Korean Airline increased the average ticket price from $2,000 to $3,000 on its Atlanta/Seoul route for the holidays. How would the increased ticket price affect the number of seats overbooked?

Demand for walnut fudge ice cream at the Sweet Cream Dairy can be approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of 24 gallons per week and a standard deviation of 3.5 gallons per week. The new manager desires a service level of 90 percent. Lead time is two days, and the dairy is open seven days a week. (Hint: Work in terms of weeks.)Use Table B and Table B1. a-1. If an ROP model is used, what ROP would be consistent with the desired service level? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) ROP gallons a-2. How many days of supply are on hand at the ROP, assuming average demand? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) Days b-1. If a fixed-interval model is used instead of an ROP model, what order size would be needed for the 90 percent service level with an order interval of 7 days and a supply of 8 gallons on hand at the order time?

33) please please help me with this Next week, Super Discount Airlines has a flight from New York to Los Angeles that will be booked to capacity. The airline knows from history that an average of 28 customers (with a standard deviation of 14) cancel their reservation or do not show for the flight. Revenue from a ticket on the flight is $122. If the flight is overbooked, the airline has a policy of getting the customer on the next available flight and giving the person a free round-trip ticket on a future flight. The cost of this free round-trip ticket averages $228. Super Discount considers the cost of flying the plane from New York to Los Angeles a sunk cost. By how many seats should Super Discount overbook the flight? Note: Use Excel's NORM.S.INV function to find the z value. Round z value to 2 decimal places. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
ROP for constant demand and variable lead time. The motel in the preceding example uses approximately 600 bars of soap each day, and this tends to be fairly constant. Lead time for soap delivery isnormally distributed with a mean of six days and a standard deviation of two days. A service level of90 percent is desired.a. Find the ROP.b. How many days of supply are on hand at the ROP?

Demand for stereo headphones and MP3 players for joggers has caused Nina Industries to grow almost 50 percent over the past year. The number of joggers continues to expand, so Nina expects demand for headsets to also expand, because, as yet, no safety laws have been passed to prevent joggers from wearing them. Demand for the players for last year was as follows: MONTH DEMAND (UNITS) January 4,240 February 4,340 March 4,040 April 4,440 May 5,040 June 4,740 July 5,340 August 4,940 September 5,440 October 5,740 November 6,335 December 6,030 a. Using linear regression analysis, what would you estimate demand to be for each month next year? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) b. To be reasonably confident of meeting demand, Nina decides to use 4 standard errors of estimate for safety. How many additional units should be held to meet this level of confidence?

Scenario 9.9"Gollee those cats sure go through a lot of food," Geoff exclaimed as he saw the shopping list pad that had been pre-printed with the words "cat food" at the top. He pondered a different approach to shopping for the furry little darlings, reviewed his shopping records, and discovered the following. The price of cat food has held steady at 89 cents per can. Despite feigning indifference, each of the seven cats nibbles their way through an average of one can per day, three hundred sixty five days a year. The price of gasoline has held constant at $3.50 per gallon and his pickup uses a gallon each way to the cat food store. The cost to hold a can of cat food is 10% of the unit price.Use the information in Scenario 9.9 to determine the average pantry space occupied by cat food if each can takes up 13 cubic inches and Geoff obeys an EOQ policy for managing the cat food purchase process.

Belletricity Inc., a medium electronic circuit board manufacturer in the US, is a long-term supplier to Morden Equipment (ME). ME is Belletricity’s only client. Every year, Belletricity sells around 5 million circuit boards to ME, which occupies Belletricity’s full production capacity. In 2012, ME informed Belletricity that due to business expansion, ME would increase the purchase from 5 million to 15 million starting from 2013. Belletricity has been selling circuit boards at the unit rate of USD 0.8 to ME so far. Due to the future increase of the buying volume, ME therefore asked Belletricity a price cut to USD 0.6 each. After negotiation, ME agreed to buy from Belletricity at the price of USD 1.00 starting 2013, for three years consecutively, till 2015. a) What was the rationale behind that ME agreed to pay a higher price to buy from Belletricity for the next three years? b) Why could Belletricity successfully persuade ME to accept her requested price?
