1. You can use either Excel or Lingo (Not Lindo) Programming software to solve the attached project.
2. Please start with listing Decision Variables, Objective function and set Constrains then start modeling using Lingo or excel.
3. You are supposed to produce a 1 page Executive Summary, that is intended to be written to upper level management to convince them that the proposed changes are worth further exploration. Additionally, you are to write a Technical Report that an industrial engineer could verify your results. There is no set length to the Technical Report, but this report should convince the engineer that you are competent and your solution is correct.
Please make a professional work. You have two projects to make. Project
Grading 25% Executive Summary, 25% Technical Report, 50% for the correctness of
your solution and the technique used.
You work for a consulting firm and have been assigned to work for Sers, which sells big
screen TVs. Since more TVs are sold on weekends, Sers is closed on Monday and
Tuesday of every week. For plasma TVs the average demand during a week is as
follows:
0 TVs demanded 10% of the time
1 TVs demanded 20% of the time
2 TVs demanded 40% of the time
3 TVs demanded 25% of the time
4 TVs demanded 5% of the time
The contract with the supplier states that they can only order on Monday morning and
that the TVs will arrive by Wednesday morning. You have a maximum ability to store
12 TVs in your store.
Every TV sells for $2,000. The order cost is $700 per TV, plus a $500 fixed ordering
cost. Each TV held in inventory costs $50 per week. If a customer comes in and you
dont have a TV in stock, then the TV is specially ordered and delivered to their house for
$1,500. In addition, you estimate a penalty of $300 due to the likelihood of the customer
not returning.
Sers currently has a QR inventory policy (quantityreorder) (Also known as a S,s
inventory policy) with Q=12 and R=7. As long as the inventory at the end of the day is R
or more, then no order is placed. If the inventory is strictly less than R, then an order is
placed so that the store opens with Q items (i.e. Sers will open on Wednesday with 12
TVs on hand.) Sers has asked your company to evaluate this policy and determine
optimal values for Q and R.
As a simplification of the model, Sers has agreed that the demand from week to week is
constant and that the demand from week to week is memoryless. The memoryless
property would be that a high/low demand this week does not change the demand for the
following week.
Follow a similar format as the previous projects (1 page executive summary and a
technical report).
Technical Writing Help
Executive Summary A short letter or page to a business executive that summarizes the project,
your methods and most importantly your recommendations.
-Not technical, assume the executive knows money, not engineering
1st paragraph (33%) Get the Execs attention. Why should he/she care?
1. State the problem
2. State one sentence recommendation – What are you trying to convince the person to do?
3. State the reason or benefit of the recommendation: By implementing our suggestions, we
predict a cost savings of
or an increase in revenue of..
2nd xth Paragraph How did you arrive at your recommendation?
1. What were the methods? (Without being too technical, software, linear programming, etc.)
2. What worked best?
3. Why go with your recommendation? Project X is projected to generate the most revenue of the
alternatives
Conclusion (33%)
1. Restate recommendation.
2. Restate benefit of recommendation
3. Future work. You want to be hired again. Find something that remains lacking in their system

conclusion.
1st section Introduction 1-2 paragraphs
–
Problem statement
Methods Used
Recommendation
Anticipated benefits
2nd Section Assumptions
Make clear the assumptions you make in your analysis (eg. Constant demand, arrival times
follow these distributions, maximum investment amount, minimum adjusted return rate, etc.)
Next Sections Methods and Analysis
Go through every step of the methods you applied to reach your conclusion. Again, the engineer should
be able to replicate what you did exactly and reach the same conclusion.
Describe decision variables, sets and parameters.
Describe the objective function in English, then give the mathematical notation.
Describe each constraint in English followed by the math.
Analysis.
Analyze the output of the computer.
Recommendation and conclusions
Clearly identify what you recommend the company do.
Some solutions are best represented with words AND figures/tables. (Calendars, production schedules,
projected profit graphs, percent of resource utilization over time, etc.)
State projected outcomes Our analysis projects a cost savings of
Based on the analysis, which method worked best / what you learned from the analysis
Restate Recommendation
Projected Outcome of accepting recommendation This will save
