...Case 4: Alabama Atlantic Executive Summary Alabama Atlantic would like to determine the optimal shipping routes for its lumber and the amount to be shipped on each route, in order to minimize the total equivalent uniform annual cost. It is my understanding that the company has three sources of wood, with annual availabilities of 15, 20, and 15 million board feet respectively. Additionally, the company has 5 markets it sells to, which have annual demands of 11, 12, 9, 10, and 8 million board feet respectively. Because the estimated supply and demand of wood is in equilibrium, it is important to meet the full demand in each market. It is also important that total amount shipped does not exceed the available supply. Alabama Atlantic has two possible methods to ship the wood. They can either ship it by train or by ship. Depending on the specific source and market, it can be less costly to use one method over the other. However, it is important to note that using ships may require a large capital investment. I have had a chance to determine the potential shipping plans for Alabama Atlantic and have analyzed the company’s situation. I was able to solve this as a linear programming problem using Microsoft Excel, however some assumptions had to be made. First, the production costs are assumed to be the same at each source, so that the only relevant costs are for shipping. Second, the cost of shipping is assumed to be constant no matter what quantity is shipped. Analysis and...

...Executive Summary Eastern Bank’s tagline is “Simple Math”. But it is not so simple to serve the borrowers with the right package. A bank’s major liability is to deliver significant returns to their depositors. Unlike returns to shareholders, this return is promised. Unless delivered, depositors may take back the return with a vengeance; bankrupting the bank in the process. The banks developed various form of debtor selection processes to protect themselves against depositors grudge, i.e. delinquency of borrowers. CRG (Credit Risk Grading) and CRR (Credit Risk Rating) together makes one of those processes. This report is titled “Predicting Delinquency of EBL’s Corporate Customers.” EBL is one of the leading private commercial banks of Bangladesh. After starting its operation in 1992, the bank established itself as one of the most technologically advanced banks of the country. EBL has been offering diverse portfolio of products to its customer. CRG process is a borrower selection process advised by Bangladesh Bank. Private commercial banks in Bangladesh use CRG to predict the possibility of delinquency in the form of CRR. EBL uses the same process. This report first develops a model to test the CRR against financial data of a firm. Data obtained from 35 borrowers of EBL were used to run a linear regression taking CRR ratings of respective firms as dependent variable. Running the regression, the model shows that CRR of a firm does not reflect the firm’s financial data properly...

...Antreprenoriatul - de la zero la succes printr-o idee genială Duminică, 21 Martie 2010 21:36 Andra Larisa Zaharia Articole - Start-up PR [pic][pic] [pic][pic][pic][pic] [pic]De când lucrez în online am observat o "specie" aparte de om de afaceri. Sunt sigură că l-aţi văzut şi voi la conferinţe şi chiar la TV. Nu poartă costum decât rareori şi nu prea conduce maşini scumpe. Nu-i plac nici servietele din piele şi nici Rolex-urile, dar o să-l vedeţi cu siguranţă cu rucsacul după el, fiindcă nu pleacă nicăieri fără laptop şi stabileşte orice întâlnire de afaceri doar în locuri cu wireless. Dincolo de semnele exterioare distinctive, veţi observa că "subiectul" nostru este vorbăreţ şi foarte informal, un amestec de trainer şi coordonator, dar care se dezice cu fermitate de eticheta "manager" sau "CEO". O să-l vedeţi cu câtă pasiune vorbeşte despre proiectele sale şi veţi mai observa şi cu ce rapiditate îi vin idei noi, pe care nu aşteaptă prea mult să le pună în aplicare. După cum probabil v-aţi dat seama, omul despre care vorbesc este Antreprenorul. Cel care nu stă prea mult pe gânduri şi se aventurează mai ceva ca Indiana Jones în jungla business-ului. Am vrut să aflu mai multe despre acest tip, pentru a-i putea face un "portret-robot", aşa că m-am gândit să-i intervievez pe câţiva dintre cei mai cunoscuţi antreprenori de la noi. Iată setul de întrebări şi răspunsurile lor. 1. Cum crezi că este perceput antreprenoriatul în România, având în vedere faptul că nu...
