You are in your last semester of college and have been looking for a job. You have registered with the placement office and posted your résumé online, but the jobs that are available leave a bit to be desired. In one of your classes you overhear a classmate, Max, talking about an interview he had last week. Max said that he really wanted the job but didn’t think his interview went particularly well. He is currently waiting to hear back from the employer. As Max was describing the position, you thought it sounded very interesting, but you wondered if it would be right for you to pursue the position since Max had found it first. Question: If you interview for the job, how would you respond if asked how you heard about the opening?
Operations Management You are conducting a retrospective analysis for an Order-Up-To system with delivery lead time of 4 weeks (thus, the unsold inventory at the end of a week is carried over to the next week). The beginning inventory in week 4 is 200 units, and you have in-transit orders (yet to be delivered) placed in week 1, 2, and 3 of the amounts 120, 110, 100, respectively. If you set an order-up-to level of 650 units, then the order quantity in week 4 is 0 units (no order) 90 units 120 units 130 units 450 units none of the above

Question: Do you have any obligation to tell Alex if you apply for the job?
A firm recently built a new plant that will use more than 50 production lines and machines to produce over 500 different products. The production scheduling decisions are critical because sales will be lost if customer demand is not met on time. If no individual in the firm has had experience with this production operation, and if new production schedules must be generated each week, why should the firm consider a quantitative approach to the production scheduling problem?
At The Fresh Connection, the supply chain manager, has just chosen to change all of the stock levels for finished goods. This is in an attempt to improve service levels to customers. He has set a new safety stock and production interval for all finished products. As the operations manager, it is your task to find out how much space you need in your finished goods warehouse. In an effort to simplify the system, the supply chain manager has set the safety stocks for all 6 finished goods to 3 weeks and the production interval of all finished goods to 1 weeks (or 5 days). The production interval is the time between production runs of a given product. At The Fresh Connection, you measure stocks in terms of weeks of demand. Currently you can store 600 units of 1 liter cartons on a pallet and 1440 units of 0.3 liter PET bottles on a pallet. Your average weekly demand for all the products combined, in 1 liter cartons is 155000. This means that the sum of all one liter products that flow…

SpikLock makes several lines of metal items. The most recent order has been for 1200 door lock units for an apartment complex developer. The sales and production departments must work together to determine delivery schedules. Each lock unit consists of three components: the knob and faceplate, the actual lock itself, and a set of two keys. Although the processes used in the manufacture of the three components vary, there are three areas where the production manager is concerned about the availability of resources. These three areas, their usage by the three components, and their availability are detailed in the table.
