Decision Analysis
This tutorial contains all of the attachments for the entire WGU Decision Analysis course. This tutorial is based on the Shuzworld case study. There are two attachments (one is all of the memos for tasks 1,2, and 3 in one document and the other is the power point for task 4). All of the attachments in this tutorial passed in Taskstream.
Task 1
1.
2. IMPROVEMENTS TO WORKFLOW:
I have been asked to recommend how to improve the current workflow of Shuzworld’s Rugged Wear Work Boot assembly line. The plant’s current workflow uses a separate workstation for each of the 8 tasks required to assemble the boot. In order to form my recommendation, a quantitative analysis was performed using assembly line balancing as the decision analysis tool. The results of my analysis show that the efficiency of the assembly line can be greatly improved by reducing the number of workstations from 8 to 5, by combining tasks in some of the workstations. The cycle time has been calculated as 10 minutes since the company has budgeted production of 6 boots per hour.
By comparing the completion times for each task to the cycle time, it can be seen that several tasks can be combined in one cycle and still be completed within this cycle time:
· Task A takes 10 minutes so it obviously needs to be at a station of its own since it takes a full cycle to complete this task.
· Task B takes 6 minutes and requires that Task A be completed first. Task C takes 3 minutes and requires that Task A be complete first. These two tasks can be performed at one station since they only use 9 minutes of the 10 minute cycle.
· Task D takes 8 minutes and requires that Tasks B and C be completed first, so this task needs to be at a station of its own.
· Task E takes 3 minutes and requires that Task D be completed first. Task F takes 4 minutes and requires that Task D be completed first. Task G takes 3 minutes and requires that Tasks E and F be completed first. These three tasks can be performed at one station in the proper sequence (E,F,G) since they use 10 minutes of the 10 minute cycle.
· Task H takes 9 minutes and requires that Task G be completed first, so this task needs to be at a station of its own.
Below is a revised chart which shows the improvements that were made to the workflow:
Task 2
is a memo that includes a distribution pattern that meets availability and demand constraints and minimizes total shipping costs along with output from a chosen decision analysis tool and an explanation of why this tool was used, an analysis of the reliability of the computer-driven shoe machines process and a recommendation of ways to increase the reliability of the system along with output from a chosen decision analysis tool and an explanation of why this tool was used, providing the optimum number of shoelaces to order and explaining how an economic order quantity amount relates to the problem along with output from a chosen decision analysis tool and an explanation of why this tool was used, comparing the characteristics of one-cashier and two-cashier waiting-line systems and recommending which system to use along with output from a chosen decision analysis tool and an explanation of why this tool was used.
Task 3
is a memo that includes a recommended method to use for the manufacturing of sneakers along with output from a chosen decision analysis tool and an explanation of why this tool was used, developing a sales volume forecast along with output from a chosen decision analysis tool and an explanation of why this tool was used, and discussing how to apply control chart metrics to improve quality.
Task 4
is a power point presentation which includes a recommendation of whether to build a stand-alone store, lease a strip mall store, or not proceed with construciton along with output from a chosen decision analysis tool and an explanation of why this tool was used, discussing two important factors to consider when evaluation location alternatives, recommending project techniques for the construction project plan, presenting a network diagram indicating the critical path, evaluating the trade-offs of allocation production line workers to minimize production costs, recommending a production mix that maximizes profits along with output from a chosen decision analysis tool and an explanation of why this tool was used, evaluating reordering practices utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation, recommending a human resources strategy to improve efficiency and effectiveness, and discussing applicable operations management philosophies that focus on reducing waste and increasing efficiency in production.
Financial Analysis
Question
This tutorial contains the attachments for all of the required tasks for the entire WGU Financial Analysis course. There are three attachments (the documents for all five tasks have been combined into one document and there are two attachments containing the financial data). All of these attachments passed in Taskstream. These tutorials are based on the Competition Bikes storyline case study. Task 1 includes a summary report evaluating the company's operational strengths and weaknesses, analyzing the working captial of Competition Bikes, evaluating the internal controls for the purchasing system, and analyzing their compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley. Task 2 includes a summary report discussing specific budgetary items that raise concern in the budget planning, and evaluating the flexible budget and its variances. Task 3 includes a summary report recommending a captial structure approach, discussing areas that raise concern related to Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return, discussing how working capital can be properly obtained and managed for the Canadian expansion, and discussing whether Competition Bikes should merge with or acquire the Canadian Bikes facility. Task 4 includes a summary report recommending whether the company should change its costing method, and an analysis of the breakeven point and a summary report that describes the impacts to the breakeven point if the company increases direct materials and fixed costs. Task 5 is a summary report on the key points of the company's financial picture, how financial risks could be mitigated, an analysis of the ratios that will indicate the ability to repay the loan, a historical analysis of past performance, how the current operations could be improved through better cost controls, internal and external risks with expansion into European market, the potential returns of procuring a new plant in Europe, whether to build, merge, or acquire a European plant, and financing recommendations for the chosen option.
