The department employs 5 staff who perform these activities. The manager provides the following estimates for the amount of time it takes to complete each of these activities: Interviewing: 45 minutes. Hiring: 60 minutes. Assessment: 75 minutes. Separation Processing: 90 minutes. Employees in Personnel work 35-hour weeks with four weeks for vacation. Of the 35 hours, five are reserved for administrative tasks, training, and so on. The costs of the Personnel Department, including any allocated costs from other staff functions, are $972,000.

The Carter Caterer Company must have the following number of clean napkins available at the beginning of each of the next four days: day 1, 1500; day 2, 1200; day 3, 1800; day 4, 600. After being used, a napkin can be cleaned by one of two methods: fast service or slow service. Fast service costs 50 cents per napkin, and a napkin cleaned via fast service is available for use the day after it is last used. Slow service costs 30 cents per napkin, and these napkins can be reused two days after they are last used. New napkins can be purchased for a cost of 95 cents per napkin. Determine how to minimize the cost of meeting the demand for napkins during the next four days. (Note: There are at least two possible modeling approaches, one network and one nonnetwork. See if you can model it each way.)arrow_forwardA catering company must have the following number of clean napkins available at the beginning of each of the next four days: day 1: 15, day 2: 12, day 3: 18, and day 4: 6.

These long cylindrical metal tanks contain various gases used in manufacturing cans of spray paint. The gas tanks are delivered to the warehouse by truck. Two receiving dock workers unload the containers from the delivery trucks and place them on four wheel trucks. Two materials handlers are responsible for pushing the loaded trucks into the warehouse, unloading the tanks and setting them up on end. The two materials handlers spend a major portion of their day moving loads of the gas tanks into the warehouse and placing them into the proper storage locations. In total, there are five different types of gases that in equal proportion make up 98% of all gas handled. Question: Management would like to identify a better way to handle these gas tanks. How can the handling operation be improved?arrow_forwardTyler bakes Cookies (C) and Breads (B) with the help of two ovens in his little bakery. The time taken by Oven A to bake each cookie batch is 14 minutes and the time taken by Oven B is 12 minutes. The time taken by Oven A to bake a batch of bread is 16 minutes and the time taken by Oven B is 17 minutes. Each week both Ovens can be used for 50 hours each to bake Cookies and Breads. The rest of the time is used for baking other products. Moreover, Tyler starts each week with a stock of 25 batches of Cookies and 30 batches of Breads because the Cookies and Breads he produces can be considered to be “fresh” for a maximum of 2 weeks. There is an average weekly demand of 70 batches of Cookies and 50 batches of Breads. For each batch of Cookies, Tyler makes $30 in profit and for each batch of Breads Tyler makes $25 in profit. If there are any “close to losing freshness” goods at the end of the week, Tyler sells them at heavily discounted prices on weekends with a profit of $5 per batch of…arrow_forward

Alternative 1 involves purchasing software that will reduce the time required to collect background information on each client. The total cost for the purchase, installation, and training associated with the new software is $840,900. The present worth of the benefits from increased efficiency is expected to be $1,020,000. Alternative 2 involves developing multimedia training to improve the performance of the staff technicians. The total cost to develop, install, and train the technicians will be $1,780,000. The present worth of the benefits from increased performance due to training is expected to be $1,850,000.
