Introduction
Learning Objectives<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Develop a general understanding of the management science\/operations research approach to decision
    making.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Realize that quantitative applications begin with a problem situation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Obtain a brief introduction to quantitative techniques and their frequency of use in practice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Understand that managerial problem situations have both quantitative and qualitative considerations
    that are important in the decision making process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Learn about modelsin terms of what they are and why they are useful (the emphasisis on mathematical
    models).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Identify the step-by-step procedure that is used in most quantitative approaches to decision making.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Learn about basic models of cost, revenue, and profit and be able to compute the breakeven point.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Obtain an introduction to the use of computersoftware packages such as Microsoft Excel in applying
    quantitative methods to decision making.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Understand the following terms:
    model infeasible solution
    objective function management science
    constraint operations research
    deterministic model fixed cost
    stochastic model variable cost
    feasible solution breakeven point
    1 –<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Chapter 1
    Solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Management science and operations research, terms used almost interchangeably, are broad
      disciplines that employ scientific methodology in managerial decision making or problem
      solving. Drawing upon a variety of disciplines (behavioral, mathematical, etc.), management
      science and operations research combine quantitative and qualitative considerations in order to
      establish policies and decisions that are in the best interest of the organization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Define the problem
      Identify the alternatives
      Determine the criteria
      Evaluate the alternatives
      Choose an alternative
      For further discussion see section 1.3<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. See section 1.2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. A quantitative approach should be considered because the problem is large, complex, important,
      new and repetitive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Models usually have time, cost, and risk advantages over experimenting with actualsituations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    6. Model (a) may be quicker to formulate, easier to solve, and\/or more easily understood.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    7. Let d = distance
      m = miles per gallon
      c = cost per gallon,
      Therefore Total Cost =
      We must be willing to treat m and c as known and notsubject to variation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

      x \uf0b3 0, y \uf0b3 0
      b. Controllable inputs: x and y
      Uncontrollable inputs: profit (10,5), labor hours (5,2) and labor-hour availability (40)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        If a = 4, x = 10 and profit = 100
        If a = 5, x = 8 and profit = 80
        If a = 6, x = 6 2\/3 and profit = 67
        Since a is unknown, the actual values of x and profit are not known with certainty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
