Inc. Chapter 1 To accompany Quantitative Analysis for Management, Tenth Edition, by Render, Stair, and Hanna Power Point slides created by Jeff Heyl Introduction to Quantitative Analysis © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.
2.
© 2009 Prentice-Hall,
Inc. 1 – 2 Introduction Mathematical tools have been used for thousands of years Quantitative analysis can be applied to a wide variety of problems It’s not enough to just know the mathematics of a technique One must understand the specific applicability of the technique, its limitations, and its assumptions
3.
© 2009 Prentice-Hall,
Inc. 1 – 3 Need for Operations Management The increased complexity of running a successful business. Many large companies with complex business processes have used OM for years to help executives and managers make good strategic and operational decisions. American Airlines and IBM have incredibly complex operations in logistics, customer service and resource allocation that are built on OM technologies. As the trend of increased business complexity moves to smaller enterprises, OM will play vital operational and strategic roles.
4.
© 2009 Prentice-Hall,
Inc. 1 – 4 Need for OM Lots of information, but no decisions. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and the Web have contributed to a pervasive information environment; decision-makers have total access to every piece of data in the organization. The problem is that most people need a way to transform this wealth of data into actionable information that helps them make good tactical and strategic decisions. The role of OM decision methods is to help leverage a company’s investment in information technology infrastructure by providing a way to convert data into actions.
5.
© 2009 Prentice-Hall,
Inc. 1 – 5 Need for OM A large nationwide bank is using OM techniques to configure complicated financial instruments for their customers. A process that previously required a human agent and took minutes or hours to perform is now executed automatically in seconds on the bank’s Intranet. The resulting financial products are far superior to those produced by the manual process.
6.
© 2009 Prentice-Hall,
Inc. 1 – 6 Need for OM A major retail enterprise is using OM methodology for making decisions about customer relationship management (CRM). They are using mathematical optimization to achieve the most profitable match between a large number of customer segments, a huge variety of products and services, and an expanding number of marketing and sales channels such
7.

Inc. 1 – 7 Need for OM Sears, Roebuck and Company Manages a U.S. fleet of more than 1,000 delivery vehicles, some company owned and some not. The company makes more than 4 million deliveries a year of 21,000 uniquely different items. It has 46 routing offices and provides the largest home delivery service of furniture and appliances in the United States. The company also operates a U.S. fleet of 12,500 service vehicles, together with an associated staff of service technicians. Service demand is on the order of 15 million calls per year and revenue generated is approximately $3 billion.
8.
© 2009 Prentice-Hall,
Inc. 1 – 8 Need for OM OM researchers designed a system to deal with such variables as customer schedules and requested performance times, time estimates for the required service, vehicles and personnel available, skills needed, parts and product availability and so on. The system was designed to automatically schedule all facets of performance in such a way as to Provide accurate and convenient time windows for the Sears customer Minimize costs Maximize certain objective measures of task performance, including customer satisfaction. This effort generated a one time cost reduction of $9 million as well as ongoing savings of $42 million per year.

Inc. 1 – 11 Quantitative factorsQuantitative factors might be different investment alternatives, interest rates, inventory levels, demand, or labor cost Qualitative factorsQualitative factors such as the weather, state and federal legislation, and technology breakthroughs should also be considered Information may be difficult to quantify but can affect the decision-making process What is Quantitative Analysis?

Inc. 1 – 12 Implementing the Results Analyzing the Results Testing the Solution Developing a Solution Acquiring Input Data Developing a Model The Quantitative Analysis Approach Defining the Problem Figure 1.1
13.
© 2009 Prentice-Hall,
Inc. 1 – 13 Defining the Problem Need to develop a clear and concise statement that gives direction and meaning to the following steps This may be the most important and difficult step It is essential to go beyond symptoms and identify true causes May be necessary to concentrate on only a few of the problems – selecting the right problems is very important Specific and measurable objectives may have to be developed
14.
© 2009 Prentice-Hall,
Inc. 1 – 14 Developing a Model Quantitative analysis models are realistic, solvable, and understandable mathematical representations of a situation There are different types of models $ Advertising $Sales Y = b0 + b1 X Schematic models Scale models
15.
© 2009 Prentice-Hall,
Inc. 1 – 15 Developing a Model Models generally contain variables (controllable and uncontrollable) and parameters Controllable variables are generally the decision variables and are generally unknown Parameters are known quantities that are a part of the problem
16.
© 2009 Prentice-Hall,
Inc. 1 – 16 Acquiring Input Data Input data must be accurate – GIGO rule Data may come from a variety of sources such as company reports, company documents, interviews, on-site direct measurement, or statistical sampling Garbage In Process Garbage Out
17.
© 2009 Prentice-Hall,
Inc. 1 – 17 Developing a Solution The best (optimal) solution to a problem is found by manipulating the model variables until a solution is found that is practical and can be implemented Common techniques are SolvingSolving equations Trial and errorTrial and error – trying various approaches and picking the best result Complete enumerationComplete enumeration – trying all possible values Using an algorithmalgorithm – a series of repeating steps to reach a solution
18.
© 2009 Prentice-Hall,
Inc. 1 – 18 Testing the Solution Both input data and the model should be tested for accuracy before analysis and implementation New data can be collected to test the model Results should be logical, consistent, and represent the real situation
19.
© 2009 Prentice-Hall,
Inc. 1 – 19 Analyzing the Results Determine the implications of the solution Implementing results often requires change in an organization The impact of actions or changes needs to be studied and understood before implementation Sensitivity analysisSensitivity analysis determines how much the results of the analysis will change if the model or input data changes Sensitive models should be very thoroughly tested
20.
© 2009 Prentice-Hall,
Inc. 1 – 20 Implementing the Results Implementation incorporates the solution into the company Implementation can be very difficult People can resist changes Many quantitative analysis efforts have failed because a good, workable solution was not properly implemented Changes occur over time, so even successful implementations must be monitored to determine if modifications are necessary

Inc. 1 – 21 Modeling in the Real World Quantitative analysis models are used extensively by real organizations to solve real problems In the real world, quantitative analysis models can be complex, expensive, and difficult to sell Following the steps in the process is an important component of success
22.
© 2009 Prentice-Hall,
Inc. 1 – 22 How To Develop a Quantitative Analysis Model An important part of the quantitative analysis approach Let’s look at a simple mathematical model of profit Profit = Revenue – Expenses
23.
© 2009 Prentice-Hall,
Inc. 1 – 23 How To Develop a Quantitative Analysis Model Expenses can be represented as the sum of fixed and variable costs and variable costs are the product of unit costs times the number of units Profit = Revenue – (Fixed cost + Variable cost) Profit = (Selling price per unit)(number of units sold) – [Fixed cost + (Variable costs per unit)(Number of units sold)] Profit = sX – [f + vX] Profit = sX – f – vX where s = selling price per unit v = variable cost per unit f = fixed cost X = number of units sold

Inc. 1 – 25 Bagels ‘R Us Profits = Revenue - Expenses Profits = $1*Number Sold - $100 - $.50*Number Sold Assume you are the new owner of Bagels R Us and you want to develop a mathematical model for your daily profits and breakeven point. Your fixed overhead is $100 per day and your variable costs are 0.50 per bagel (these are GREAT bagels). You charge $1 per bagel. (Price per Unit) × (Number Sold) - Fixed Cost - (Variable Cost/Unit) × (Number Sold)

Inc. 1 – 27 Pritchett’s Precious Time Pieces Profits = sX – f – vX The company buys, sells, and repairs old clocks. Rebuilt springs sell for $10 per unit. Fixed cost of equipment to build springs is $1,000. Variable cost for spring material is $5 per unit. s = 10 f = 1,000 v = 5 Number of spring sets sold = X If sales = 0, profits = ––$1,000$1,000 If sales = 1,000, profits = [(10)(1,000) – 1,000 – (5)(1,000)] = $4,000

Inc. 1 – 28 Pritchett’s Precious Time Pieces 0 = sX – f – vX, or 0 = (s – v)X – f Companies are often interested in their break-evenbreak-even pointpoint (BEP). The BEP is the number of units sold that will result in $0 profit. Solving for X, we have f = (s – v)X X = f s – v BEP = Fixed cost (Selling price per unit) – (Variable cost per unit)

Inc. 1 – 31 Examples Seeing a need for childcare in her community, Sue decided to launch her own daycare service. Her service needed to be affordable, so she decided to watch each child for $12 a day. After doing her homework, Sue came up with the following financial information: Selling Price (per child per day) $12 Operating Expenses (per month) Insurance 400 + Rent 200 = Total OE $600 Costs of goods sold $4.00 per unit Meals 2 @ $1.50 (breakfast & lunch) Snacks 2 @ $0.50 How many children will she need to watch on a monthly basis to breakeven?

Inc. 1 – 32 Examples Applying the formula, we have: $600/($12-$4) = 75 She has to have a total of 75 children in her program over the month to breakeven. If she is open only 20 days per month then she needs 75/20=3.75 children per day on the average. Expenses per month $600 + 75*$4.00 = $900 Revenue per month 75*$12 = $900
