Formatting is essential for this assignment:

The brief is a two-page document, single spaced, that contains the following information. Label each section of the brief as follows:

Case Synopsis/Problem: One paragraph summary of the business situation/problem. This is not “retelling” the case story, you are a consultant to the firm, and it should be told from this point of view. Identify the problem you see when you approach the client that needs solving.

Key Management Issues: Identify five issues in this case that are contributing to/causing the problem and that require management attention. Explain and identify an example from the case that illustrates the issue. Do not recommend a solution; just identify the issues.

Selected Recommendation: Choose one of the identified issues and recommend a managerial approach to resolve that issue using your course resources. Include an overview, resources required, and an estimated time frame to initiate and complete. Cite references from your reading that support your recommendation. Remember, you are a consultant to the firm who is proposing a plan that will have a measurable impact. Be prepared to sell your idea!

Conclusion: What were the key “lessons” or insights that you learned from reading this case? Thinking about our ROI book, what role did executive leadership play (or no play) in the company’s issues? Explain.

Class References: Use APA style intext citation (author, date) and include a reference page at the end of the brief. For course text include section number/page numbers.

Style & Grammar: Consider this to be a business deliverable. It should be free of errors.

Problem Solving

1. Consider the following linear programming problem:

Min

s.t.

  • Write the problem in standard form. Identify slack/surplus variables. (10 points)
  • The optimal solution of the above LP model is (180/7, 150/7). What are the values of the slack and surplus variables at the optimal solution? (12 points)

 

2.Consider the following linear programming problem:

Max

s.t.

  • Identify the feasible region. (12 points)
  • Are any of the constraints redundant?  If yes, then identify the constraint that is redundant. (10 points)
  • Find all the extreme points – list the value of x1 and x2 at each extreme point. (6 points)
  • What is the optimal solution? (5 points)

 

3. RVW (Restored Volkswagens) buys 15 used VW’s at each of two car auctions each week held at different locations. It then transports the cars to repair shops it contracts with.  When they are restored to RVW’s specifications, RVW sells 10 each to three different used car lots.  There are various costs associated with the average purchase and transportation prices from each auction to each repair shop.  Also there are transportation costs from the repair shops to the used car lots.  RVW is concerned with minimizing its total cost given the costs in the table below.

  • Given the costs below, draw a network representation for this problem. (10 points)
  Repair Shops     Used Car Lots
  S1 S2     L1 L2 L3
Auction 1 550 500   S1 250 300 500
Auction 2 600 450   S2 350 650 450
  • Formulate this problem as a linear programming model. (15 points)
