...Bibliography III Taylor, B. W. (2011). Introduction to Management Science. Upper Saddle River: Prentice Hall. Assignment Week 3 Samuel Leonard Blake Introduction to Management Science MAT 540 Dr. Simona Barb April 28, 2013 (III Taylor, 2011) Assignment Week 3 Brief Description JET Copies was created to solve a problem of resource scarcity, James, Ernie, and Terri all students were having challenges trying to get their copies. They were traveling to another building outside of theirs and several students were using the same copier. James thought they could make a lot of money if they purchased a copier and charged students 0.10 cents a copy. So James, Ernie, and Terri borrowed $18,000.00 dollars from their parents and went into business. Simulation Estimate I took the example from page 647 in our text and used it as a template to create my model. I used the discrete distribution table shown on page 679 to gather my information that stipulated repair times in days with the corresponding probability. The probability distribution was located on page 679 as well and gave a 0 to 6 week timeframe between break downs. I used the continuous probability function in excel to show the values. To compute the loss of revenue over 1 year I calculated all values then divided them by the cumulative total divided by 52 weeks for an average annual cost of $ 58,231 dollars.

...Stateline Shipping and Transport Company School of Business MAT 540 This paper was presented in submission for MAT 540 assignment four (Part 1 Only). Abstract This paper serves as a written response to the instructions and questions asked in assignment four. Assignment four instructed the writer to read the case problem Stateline Shipping and Transport Company from pages 273-274 in the text, Introduction to Management Science by Bernard W. Taylor. The assignment then directed the writer to Formulate and Solve and linear transportation programming model, this step was done in QM. The linear programming model is attached herein. Keywords: Linear Programming, Transportation, Shipping, Model Introduction This Case Problem, Stateline Shipping and Transport Company, is based on a girl named Rachel Sundusky who is a manager of the South-Atlantic office for Stateline Shipping and Transport (Taylor, 2010). Rachel is negotiating a contract with Polychem an industrial use chemical company (Taylor, 2010). Polychem has six sites that it would like for Stateline to pick up waste from (Taylor, 2010). Polychem would then like for Stateline to transport the waste for disposal to one of three sites (Taylor, 2010). Polychem has agreed to handle all of the waste at all sites therefore Stateline needs only transport the materials and incur costs for the same (Taylor, 2010). Rachel would like to see what the less costly shipping routes are (Taylor, 2010). Rachel will need all of the...

...Assignment #3: Case Problem “Julia’s Food Booth” La-Tia Jackson MAT 540 Dr. Albert Yin May 26, 2013 1. Formulate and solve an L.P. model for this case. There are three products or variables in this problem that we must consider for purchase. X1 = number of pizza slices Julia should purchase X2 = number of hotdogs Julia should purchase X3 = number of barbecue sandwiches Julia should purchase. Julia decided to have a food booth in order to make some money. Her goal is to maximize the profit that she can get from selling the hotdogs, pizza, and barbeque sandwiches that she plans on selling. The first thing to do is find the profit that Julia will make per Item. To find that per Item price, the cost of the item will be subtracted from the selling price. Pizza: Julia can buy a pizza that contains 8 slices for $6. That means each slice of pizza will cost her $0.75. She plans to sell each piece for 1.50. $1.50-$0.75= $0.75 profit Hot dog: $1.50 - $0.45 = $1.05 profit Barbecue Sandwiches: $2.25 - $0.90 = $1.35 profit The objective function can now be written since we have found the potential profit of each food item. The objective of this function is to maximize Z (profit). Z= $0.75x1 + $1.05x2 + $1.35X3 Budget is the one thing that has to be taken into consideration. Julia has $1,500 on hand to purchase and prepare food for the first home game. A constraint must be formed for the budget. Cost of each item and money available is what is known, so it is easy to form the...

...society. A perfect misanthropist’s heaven: and Mr. Heathcliff and I are such a suitable pair to divide the desolation between us. A capital fellow! He little imagined how my heart warmed towards him when I beheld his black eyes withdraw so suspiciously under their brows, as I rode up, and when his fingers sheltered themselves, with a jealous resolution, still further in his waistcoat, as I announced my name. ’Mr. Heathcliff?’ I said. A nod was the answer. ’Mr. Lockwood, your new tenant, sir. I do myself the honour of calling as soon as possible after my arrival, to express the hope that I have not inconvenienced you by my perseverance in soliciting the occupation of Thrushcross Grange: I heard yesterday you had had some thoughts - ‘ 2 of 540 Wuthering Heights ’Thrushcross Grange is my own, sir,’ he interrupted, wincing. ‘I should not allow any one to inconvenience me, if I could hinder it - walk in!’ The ‘walk in’ was uttered with closed teeth, and expressed the sentiment, ‘Go to the Deuce:’ even the gate over which he leant manifested no sympathising movement to the words; and I think that circumstance determined me to accept the invitation: I felt interested in a man who seemed more exaggeratedly reserved than myself. When he saw my horse’s breast fairly pushing the barrier, he did put out his hand to unchain it, and then sullenly preceded me up the causeway, calling, as we entered the court, - ‘Joseph, take...

...23 Revenue foregone under the Central Tax System: Financial Years 2012-13 and 2013-14. The primary objective of any tax law and its administration is to raise revenue for the purpose of funding Government expenditure. The amount of revenue raised is primarily dependent upon the collective tax base and the effective tax rates. The determinants of these two factors are a range of measures which include special tax rates, exemptions, deductions, rebates, deferrals and credits. These measures are collectively called as ‘tax preferences’. They have an impact on Government revenues and also reflect a significant policy of the Government. The tax policy gives rise to tax preferences and such preferences can also be viewed as an indirect subsidy to preferred tax payers. Such implicit subsidy payments are also referred to as ‘tax expenditures’. It is often argued that such implicit payments should appear as expenditure items in the Budget. The reason being that tax policy should not only be efficient but also transparent. This means that programme planning requires that policy objectives be addressed explicitly and transparent budgeting calls for inclusion of such outlays (tax expenditures) under the respective programme headings. Tax expenditures per se are spending programs embedded in the tax statute. Tax expenditures can also be termed as revenue foregone. Tax expenditure or revenue foregone statement was laid before Parliament for the first time during Budget 2006-07 by way of...

Comparisons and conclusions about the designs are based on the current Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards regarding supermarket cash registers. A total of 15 supermarkets were included in the study representing a cross-section of neighborhoods. Stores were measured for heights of the various work surfaces and reach distances to the commonly used components. Results revealed that none of the stores utilized biomechanically correct designs. Disregard for certain biomechanical aspects of the register design, specifically surface heights and reach distance may contribute significantly to a high risk for injury present in the modern day job of cashiers. Relevance to industry This study highlights problems in the supermarket industry regarding compliance with ergonomic guidelines...

...THE USE OF BIOMASS WASTES TO FABRICATE CHARCOAL SUBSTITUTES IN KENYA Feasibility Study forming part of the Shell Foundation-supported project on charcoal briquetting in Kenya March 2004 Chardust Ltd. P.O. Box 24371 Nairobi and Spectrum Technical Services P.O. Box 69993 Nairobi Executive Summary This study was designed by Chardust Ltd. and implemented jointly by Chardust and Spectrum Technical Services, a Nairobi-consulting firm. The aim was to determine the viability of producing briquetted charcoal fuel from biomass wastes in Kenya. The study was funded by the Shell Foundation and conducted over a two month period in late 2003. The viability of producing fuel commercially from biomass wastes was assessed from four perspectives: (a) Availability: Existence and accessibility of biomass in bulk, preferably with no competing uses. The study began with a list of 28 potential wastes, which was narrowed down to 20 and then to just ten, according to a ranking system based upon basic availability and accessibility. (b) Conversion Potential: Physical suitability for drying, carbonisation and briquetting. Samples of the ten short-listed wastes were sourced and delivered to Chardust in Nairobi, where production trials were carried out. Based on these trials, a ranking system was devised for comparing the wastes in terms of their suitability for fuel production. (c) Fuel Quality: Energy value and general performance of fabricated fuel. The third part of the study comprised...

Hackworth, Jr. Table of Contents Chapter 1 - Ladder Diagram Fundamentals Chapter 2 - The Programmable Logic Controller Chapter 3 - Fundamental PLC Programming Chapter 4 - Advanced Programming Techniques Chapter 5 - Mnemonic Programming Code Chapter 6 - Wiring Techniques Chapter 7 - Analog I/O Chapter 8 - Discrete Position Sensors Chapter 9 - Encoders, Transducers, and Advanced Sensors Chapter 10 - Closed Loop and PID Control Chapter 11 - Motor Controls Chapter 12 - System Integrity and Safety Preface Most textbooks related to programmable controllers start with the basics of ladder logic, Boolean algebra, contacts, coils and all the other aspects of learning to program PLCs. However, once they get more deeply into the subject, they generally narrow the field of view to one particular manufacturer's unit (usually one of the more popular brands and models), and concentrate on programming that device with it's capabilities and peculiarities. This is worthwhile if the desire is to learn to program that unit. However, after finishing the PLC course, the student will most likely be employed in a position designing, programming, and maintaining systems using PLCs of another brand or model, or even more likely, many machines with many different brands and models of PLC. It seems to the authors that it would be more advantageous to approach the...

Introduction Earth's long history tells a story of constant environmental change and of close connections between physical and biological environments. It also demonstrates the robustness of life. Simple organisms first appeared on Earth some 3.8 billion years ago, and complex life forms emerged approximately 2 billion years ago. Life on Earth has endured through many intense stresses, including ice ages, warm episodes, high and low oxygen levels, mass extinctions, huge volcanic eruptions, and meteorite impacts. Untold numbers of species have come and gone, but life has survived even the most extreme fluxes. To...
