1. Question:Which of the methods for decision making best protects the decision maker from undesirable results? 2. Question:If there is a maximum of 4,000 hours of labor available per month and 300 ping-pong balls (xi) or 125 wiffle balls (x?) can be produced per hour of labor, which of the following constraints reflects this situation? 3. Question:Problem 4-05 (Algorithmic) In American football, touchdowns are worth 6 points. After scoring a touchdown, the scoring team may subsequently attemp...

Problem 10-05: Premier Consulting’s two consultants, Avery and Baker, can be scheduled to work for clients up to a maximum of 160 hours each over the next four weeks. A third consultant, Campbell, has some administrative assignments already planned and is available for clients up to a maximum of 140 hours over the next four weeks. The company has four clients with projects in process. The estimated hourly requirements for each of the clients over the four-week period are as follows: Hourly ra...

Bus 660 Topic 6 DQ 1 and DQ 2 DQ 1: Create a simple 0, 1 integer model for a situation or problem you face in your life. Is there an optimal solution for your problem? What type of model would you use to create an optimal solution? Explain. DQ 2: Think about your own retirement investment portfolio or find an example of one online. Discuss how you might use a model to create the optimum portfolio allocation for your risk level.

Bus 660 Topic 8 DQ 1 & DQ 2 DQ 1: Describe a current problem facing your department, organization, or industry that would indicate the need for a simulation model. How best would this problem be solved by simulation versus the other modeling techniques covered in the course? Support your response with rationale from the readings. DQ 2: Consider some of the examples you have brought up in earlier discussion forums about applying models to real-world problems. Choose one of the models covered ea...
