Big Lots Services (BLS) would like to develop a model that will help allocate their technician’s time between service calls to regular contract customers and new customers. A maximum of eighty hours of technician time is available over the two-week planning period. To satisfy cash flow requirements, at least eight hundred dollars in revenue (per technician) must be generated during the two-week period. Technician time for regular customers generates twenty-five dollars per hour. However, technician time for new customers only generates an average of eight dollars per hour. To ensure that new customer contracts are being maintained, the technician time spent on new customer contracts must be at least sixty percent of the time spent on regular customer contracts. Given these revenue and policy requirements, (BLS) would like to determine how to allocate technician time between regular customers and new customers so that the total number of customers contracted during the two week period…

Draw an ERD for the following scenario: A department employs many employees, but each employee is employed by one department. Each employee has the following characteristics: emp_Num, emp_FName, empLName, empAdress. Each department has a code and a name. Some employees, known as “rovers,” are not assigned to any department. A division operates many departments, but each department is operated by one division. Each division has a code and a name. An employee may be assigned many projects, and a project may have many employees assigned to it. Each project has a code and a name. An assignment is characterized by a date and number of hours. A project must have at least one employee assigned to it. One of the employees manages each department, and each department is managed by only one employee. One of the employees runs each division, and each division is run by only one employee.
Using the table, either buying a network of PCs for a department at your workplace or outfitting a laboratory of PCs for students at a university, conduct a multicriteria analysis that contrasts at least three alternative configurations with at least three different requirements and three different constraint criteria
Three alternatives are being considered for an engineering project. Their cash-flow estimates are shown in the accompanying table. A and B are mutually exclusive, and C is an optional add-on feature to alternative A. Investment funds are limited to $5,000,000. Another constraint on this project is the engineering personnel needed to design and implement the solution. No more than 10,000 person-hours of engineering time can be committed to the project. Set up a linear integer programming formulation of this resource allocation problem.
COPY FROM CHEGG == DISLIKE AND REPORT Assume that a finite number of resources of a single resource type mustbe managed. Processes may ask for a number of these resources and will returnthem once finished. As an example, many commercial software packagesprovide a given number of licenses, indicating the number of applications thatmay run concurrently. When the application is started, the license count isdecremented. When the application is terminated, the license count isincremented. If all licenses are in use, requests to start the application aredenied. Such a request will be granted only when an existing license holderterminates the application and a license is returned. The following program segment is used to manage a finite number of instancesof an available resource. The maximum number of resources and the number ofavailable resources are declared as follows: #define MAX_RESOURCES 5 int available_resources = MAX_RESOURCES; /** When a process wishes to obtain a number of…
Draw an activity network and find the critical path for a research project given below.There are eight tasks in a small project. Task A takes 14 days to complete. Task B takes 16 days to complete and can be executed in parallel with Task C which takes 22 days to complete. When tasks B and C are completed, task D can be executed which will take 17 days to complete. When D is completed, tasks E and F can be executed which will take 13 and 10 days to complete. When tasks E and F are completed, task G can be executed which will take 15 days to complete. (Note: Highlight the critical path in the network)
