- Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. Is Ben Gibson acting legally? Is he acting ethically? Why or why not?Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner.

As the Marketing Manager for Southeastern Corrugated, what would you do upon receiving the request for quotation from Coastal Products?The Tinkan Company produces one-pound cans for the Canadian salmon industry. Each year the salmon spawn during a 24-hour period and must be canned immediately. Tinkan has the following agreement with the salmon industry. The company can deliver as many cans as it chooses. Then the salmon are caught. For each can by which Tinkan falls short of the salmon industrys needs, the company pays the industry a 2 penalty. Cans cost Tinkan 1 to produce and are sold by Tinkan for 2 per can. If any cans are left over, they are returned to Tinkan and the company reimburses the industry 2 for each extra can. These extra cans are put in storage for next year. Each year a can is held in storage, a carrying cost equal to 20% of the cans production cost is incurred. It is well known that the number of salmon harvested during a year is strongly related to the number of salmon harvested the previous year. In fact, using past data, Tinkan estimates that the harvest size in year t, Ht (measured in the number of cans required), is related to the harvest size in the previous year, Ht1, by the equation Ht = Ht1et where et is normally distributed with mean 1.02 and standard deviation 0.10. Tinkan plans to use the following production strategy. For some value of x, it produces enough cans at the beginning of year t to bring its inventory up to x+Ht, where Ht is the predicted harvest size in year t. Then it delivers these cans to the salmon industry. For example, if it uses x = 100,000, the predicted harvest size is 500,000 cans, and 80,000 cans are already in inventory, then Tinkan produces and delivers 520,000 cans. Given that the harvest size for the previous year was 550,000 cans, use simulation to help Tinkan develop a production strategy that maximizes its expected profit over the next 20 years. Assume that the company begins year 1 with an initial inventory of 300,000 cans.
- A shop is planning an order for a popular Christmas festive season product. Demand for the product usually starts from first week of December till first week of January and reduces sharply thereafter. For this reason, and to stimulate sales for leftovers, the product is sold at a significantly reduced price from the second week of January to the fourth week of January. Any leftover after the fourth week of January goes waste. The table below gives past data on total demand for the period from first week of December to first week of January, and from second week of January to fourth week of January, together with their respective chances of occurrence. The product can be purchased at a wholesale price of GHS60 per unit for a pack containing 600 products, GHS57 per unit for a pack containing 800 products, and GHS52 per unit for a pack containing 1000 products. The shop plans to sell the product for GHS80 per unit from first week of December to first week of January, and at a reduced…A shop is planning an order for a popular Christmas festive season product.

In the most recent month, the firm sold 12,000 Turkey Burgers and 8,000 Veggie Burgers. Turkey Burgers sold for $14.00 per box and variable costs were $7.40 per box. The Veggie Burgers sold for $16.00 per box and variable costs were $8.25 per box. The fixed expenses of the entire company were $41,160.

- Weekly demand for Lego at a Wal-Mart store is normally distributed with a mean of 2,500 boxes and a standard deviation of 500. Demand is assumed to be stationary and the mean demand is used as forecast. Each order costs Wal-Mart $145 and holding cost per box per year is estimated at $1.5. Lead time is 2 weeks and the store manager has decided to review inventory every 4 weeks. (Assume a periodic review policy) a. What is safety stock requirement for a service level of 90%? b. What is the order-up-to level? c. What is the total annual variable cost?A hotel near the university always fills up on the evening before football games. History has shown that when the hotel is fully booked, the number of last-minute cancellations has a mean of 5 and standard deviation of 3. The average room rate is $130 and customers need to pay when they make the reservation. When the hotel is overbooked, its policy is to find a room in a nearby hotel and to pay for the room for the customer and this usually costs the hotel approximately $200 since rooms booked on such late notice are expensive. How many rooms should the hotel overbook?The manager of Alaina's Garden Center must make the annual purchasing plans for rakes, gloves, and other gardening items.
