Frank Wesley, project manager for the LOGON project, is concerned about the development time for the robotic transporter. Although the subcontractor, Creative Robotics, has promised a delivery time of 6 weeks, Frank knows that the actual delivery time will be a function of the number of other projects Creative Robotics is working on. As an incentive to speed up delivery of the transporter, Frank has three options: S1: Do nothing S2: Promise Creative Robotics a future contract with Iron Butterfly S3: Threaten to never contract with Creative Robotics again. He estimates the impact of these actions on delivery time would be as follows: Payoffs: Strategy Creative Robotics Workload Low Average Busy S1 4 6 8 S2 3 4 7 S3 3 6 6 What strategy should Frank adopt based upon uncertainty criteria

Cadbury has a chocolate factory in dunedin, new zealand. for easter, it makes two kinds of “easter eggs”: milk chocolate and dark chocolate. it cycles between producing milk and dark chocolate eggs. the table below provides data on these two products. demand (lbs per hour) milk: 500 dark: 200 switchover time (minutes) milk: 60 dark: 30 production rate per hour milk: 800 dark: 800 for example, it takes 30 minutes to switch production from milk to dark chocolate. demand for milk chocolate is higher (500lbs per hour versus 200 lbs per hour), but the line produces them at the same rate (when operating): 800 lbs per hour. a : suppose cadbury produces 2,334lbs milk chocolate and 1,652 lbs of dark chocolate in each cycle. what would be the maximum inventory (lbs) of milk chocolate? b : how many lbs of milk and dark chocolate should be produced with each cycle so as to satisfy demand while minimizing inventory?
