Consider a two-station production line (1à2) with ample raw material input available. You can think of the line as a process and the stations as resources performing specific process steps. Station 1 consists of a single machine that has potential daily production of two, three, four, or five units, with each outcome being equally likely to occur. Station 2 consists of a single machine that has potential daily production of either three or four units, both of which are equally likely. So, the average production rate of each station is 3.5 units per day. Answer the following questions (at most 25 points are required): 1. If you allow as much buffer inventory between the two steps as needed, compute the expected daily process capacity of the line.2. If no buffer inventory is allowed between the two stations (process steps), compute the expected daily process capacity of the line. [Hint: It may be useful to mentally simulate the line for each daily production outcome at each station and note the lines output.] If you cannot compute the exact capacity, then (i) discuss how (an approach) to determine the process capacity of the line and (ii) discuss how the capacity in a line with no buffer inventory will compare to your answer in part I. A.1 above. 3. How does the process capacity change with the amount of buffer inventory allowed between the two steps? What process principle(s) or idea(s) from OM7011 does question I. A.2 above illustrate.4. Suppose a second machine (identical to the existing one) is be added to either station 1 or station 2. Add this second machine to the station of your choice (either station 1 or 2 will do) and then compute the new process capacity of the line without buffer inventory between stations.

Needs to schedule the staffing of the center. it is open from 8am until midnight. larry has monitored the usage of the center at various times of the day and determined that the following number of computer consultants are required: time of dayminimum number of consultants required to be on duty8 am-noon4noon-4 pm84pm-8pm108pm-midnight6 two types of computer consultants can be hired: full-time and part-time. the full- time consultants work for eight consecutive hours in any of the shifts: morning (8am- 4pm), afternoon (noon-8pm) and evening (4pm-midnight). full-time consultants are paid $14 per hour. part-time consultants can be hired to work any of the four shifts listed in the table. part-time consultants are paid $12 per hour. an additional requirement is that during every time period, there must be at least two full-time consultants on duty for every part-time consultant on duty. larry would like to determine how many full-time and part-time consultants should work each shift to meet the above requirements at the minimum possible cost. formulate this as an lp problem. you must define your variables clearly

Imprudential, inc., has an unfunded pension liability of $572 million that must be paid in 25 years. to assess the value of the firm’s stock, financial analysts want to discount this liability back to the present. if the relevant discount rate is 6.5 percent, what is the present value of this liability? (do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions, rounded to 2 decimal places, e. g., 1,234,567.89)
