1.) You are tasked with selecting the suppler for a new part from
four possible venders A, B,
C, and D. You have data related to quality, price and delivery
terms. Assuming each of these
three aspects equally weighted by your purchasing organization,
which supplier would you
choose given the following information? The critical part dimension
for the quality data has a
specification of 2.5±0.05 cm; and daily demand of 25, with a daily
standard deviation of 30
units; 365 days a year. For this part your organization prefers a
service level of at least 95%
2.) Assume your organization focuses primarily on price, assume you
are forced to use vendor D
(even if D did not win your bid in #4). Using the data in the
previous problem, how much should
be ordered, and when should be orders be placed if the fixed
ordering cost is $300/order and the
inventory carrying cost is 35% and what is the total cost of this
policy? Suppose vender D offers
a 4% discount on the price, provided the order volume is at least
5000 units, does this change
your answer regarding how much to order, and, if so, what is the
new total cost?

A friend of yours is in the market for a new computer. Four different machines are under consideration. The four computers are essentially the same, but they vary in price and re- liability. The least expensive model is also the least reliable, the most expensive is the most reliable, and the other two are in between. A Price: $998.95 Expected number of days in the shop per year: 4 B Price: $1300.00 Expected number of days in the shop per...
Assume that you go to supermarket to buy apple and orange. Each apple costs 5 $, and each orange costs 7 $. One apple contains 4 grams of fiber and 2 grams of vitamin. One orange contains 1 gram of fiber and 1 gram of vitamin. Your doctor advised you to get at least 12 grams of fiber and 8 grams of vitamin for every day. You love oranges, so you want to eat at least 2 daily. Pretend you...

(1 point) During the summer months Terry makes and sells necklaces on the beach. Terry notices that if he lowers the price, he can sell more necklaces, and if he raises the price than he sells fewer necklaces. The table below shows how the number n of necklaces sold in one day depends on the price p (in dollars). Price Number of necklaces sold 31 23 16 15 (a) Using least squares find a linear function (i.e., a line) of...
