  5. Steps in the Management Science Process MS Modeling S 2010

  6. Example of Model Construction (1 of 3) • Information and Data: • Business firm makes and sells a steel product • Product costs $5 to produce • Product sells for $20 • Product requires 4 pounds of steel to make • Firm has 100 pounds of steel • Business Problem: • Determine the number of units to produce to make the most profit, given the limited amount of steel available. MS Modeling S 2010

  7. Example of Model Construction (2 of 3) Variables: X = # units to produce (decision variable) Z = total profit (in $) Model: Z = $20X - $5X (objective function) 4X = 100 lb of steel (resource constraint) Parameters: $20, $5, 4 lbs, 100 lbs (known values) Formal Specification of Model: maximize Z = $20X - $5X subject to 4X ≤ 100 MS Modeling S 2010

  8. Example of Model Construction (3 of 3) Model Solution: Solve the constraint equation: 4x ≤ 100 (4x)/4 ≤ (100)/4 x ≤ 25 units Substitute this value into the profit function: Z = $20x - $5x = (20)(25) – (5)(25) = $375 (Produce 25 units, to yield a profit of $375) MS Modeling S 2010

  9. Model Building: Break-Even Analysis (1 of 9) • Used to determine the number of units of a product to sell or produce that will equate total revenue with total cost. • The volume at which total revenue equals total cost is called the break-even point. • Profit at break-even point is zero. MS Modeling S 2010

  10. Model Building:Break-Even Analysis (2 of 9) Model Components • Fixed Cost (cf) - costs that remain constant regardless of number of units produced. • Variable Cost (cv) - unit production cost of product. • Volume (v) – the number of units produced or sold • Total variable cost (vcv) - function of volume (v) and unit variable cost. MS Modeling S 2010

  11. Model Building:Break-Even Analysis (3 of 9) Model Components • Total Cost (TC) - total fixed cost plus total variable cost. • Profit (Z) - difference between total revenue vp (p = unit price) and total cost, i.e. MS Modeling S 2010

  12. Model Building:Break-Even Analysis (4 of 9) Computing the Break-Even Point The break-even point is that volume at which total revenue equals total cost and profit is zero: The break-even point MS Modeling S 2010

  13. Model Building: Break-Even Analysis (5 of 9) Example:Western Clothing Company Fixed Costs: cf = $10000 Variable Costs: cv = $8 per pair Price : p = $23 per pair The Break-Even Point is: v = (10,000)/(23 -8) = 666.7 pairs MS Modeling S 2010

  23. Classification of Management Science Techniques Figure 1.6 Modeling Techniques MS Modeling S 2010

  24. Characteristics of Modeling Techniques • Linear Mathematical Programming -clear objective; restrictions on resources and requirements; parameters known with certainty. (Chap 2-6, 9) • Probabilistic Techniques -results contain uncertainty. (Chap 11-13) • Network Techniques - model often formulated as diagram; deterministic or probabilistic. (Chap 7-8) • Other Techniques - variety of deterministic and probabilistic methods for specific types of problems including forecasting, inventory, simulation, multicriteria, etc. (Chap 10, 14-16) MS Modeling S 2010

  25. Business Use of Management Science • Some application areas: - Project Planning - Capital Budgeting - Inventory Analysis - Production Planning - Scheduling • Interfaces - Applications journal published by Institute for Operations Research and Management Sciences (INFORMS) MS Modeling S 2010

  26. Decision Support Systems (DSS) A decision support system is a computer-based system that helps decision makers address complex problems that cut across different parts of an organization and operations. Features of Decision Support Systems • Interactive • Use databases & management science models • Address “what if” questions • Perform sensitivity analysis Examples include: ERP – Enterprise Resource Planning OLAP – Online Analytical Processing MS Modeling S 2010
