MGMT6060-Assignment (problems) - Week 1 Instructor: C. Fan Chapter 2 Strategy 15. A U.S. manufacturing company operating a subsidiary in an LDC (less-developed country) shows the following results: U.S. LDC Sales (units) 100,000 20,000 Labor (hours) 20,000 15,000 Raw materials (currency) $20,000 (US) 20,000 (FC) Capital equipment (hours) 60,000 5.000 a. Calculate partial labor and capital productivity figures for the parent and subsidiary. Do the results seem confusing? 6. Compute the multifactor productivity figures for labor and capital together. Do the results make more sense? c. Calculate raw material productivity figures (units/$ where $1 = 10 units of the foreign currency). Explain why these figures might be greater in the subsidiary. 16. Various financial data for the past two years follow. Calculate the total productivity measure and the partial measures for labor, capital, and raw materials for this company for both years. What do these measures tell you about this company? Last Year This Year Output: Sales $200,000 $220,000 Input : Labor 30,000 40,000 Raw materials 35,000 45,00 Energy 5,000 6,000 Capital 50.000 50.000 Other 2,000 3,000 CHAPTER 4 PROJECT MANAGEMENT 8.

Calculate the exponential smoothing with trend forecast for these data using an a of 0.30, a 6 of 0.30, an initial trend forecast (T1) of 1, and an initial exponentially smoothed forecast (F1) of 30. Calculate the mean absolute deviation (MAD) for each forecast. Which is best? Draw the network a 5. Whatis the critical path? . What is the expected project completion time? d What s the probability of completing this project within 16 days? CHAPTER 18. FORECASTING 1. The following table contains the number of complaints received in a department store for the first six months of operation. Month Complaints January 36 February 45 March 81 April 90 May 108 June 144 a. Use three-month moving average and three-month weighted moving average (weight the most recent month 05, the second recent month 0.25 and the third 0.25) to develop forecast. b. Calculate MAD for both methods and conclude which one is better and why. The following table contains the demand from the last 10 months Month Actual Demand 1 31 34 33 35 37 36 38 40 40 41 Page20f3 Page3of3
