What is Operations Management?


Read the overview below and complete the activities that follow.


Operations management decisions go into every product or service. The operations manager impacts all parts of the business from the raw materials to the delivery of the good or service. To continue to provide the highest quality products and services requires constant improvement. CONCEPT REVIEW: Organizations look to the operations manager to determine what type of process is best suited to fulfill their customers' needs. To make this determination, the operations manager needs to have knowledge of the facts and how to interpret information. By measurement, the operations manager can decide if their process is the most efficient for their product or service.

Forecasting Method Selection


Read the overview below and complete the activities that follow.


A forecast is a statement about the future value of a variable, such as demand. That is, forecasts are predictions about the future. The better those predictions, the more informed decisions can be. CONCEPT REVIEW: Many different kinds of forecasting techniques are available, and no single technique works best in every situation. Different forecasting methods require different levels of background sophistication in the personnel involved in the methods' creation.

Problem 5-6


A real estate agent is considering changing her cell phone plan. There are three plans to choose from, all of which involve a monthly service charge of $20. Plan A has a cost of $.40 a minute for daytime calls and $.20 a minute for evening calls. Plan B has a charge of $.50 a minute for daytime calls and $.14 a minute for evening calls. Plan C has a flat rate of $75 with 200 minutes of calls allowed per month and a charge of $.38 per minute beyond that, day or evening.




a.


Determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 130 minutes of day calls and 50 minutes of evening calls in a month. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

c.


If the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal? (Round each answer to the nearest whole number.Include the indifference point itself in each answer.)






Plan A is optimal from zero to minutes. Plan C is optimal from minutes onward.






d.


Suppose that the agent expects both daytime and evening calls. At what point (i.e., percentage of total call minutes used for daytime calls) would she be indifferent between plans A and B? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)
