Management Decision models – Cheap Homework Help

Purpose: showing competence in analyzing a real-world decision-making situation

You have 48 hours to apply the mathematical modeling approach to the scenario that has been randomly assigned to you. Your report will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

1. 1)  Comprehensiveness: You must consider different aspects of the problem. If you believe your response depends on a specific factor, then you need to consider that factor in your analysis. You might also need to provide examples. You can make assumptions as long as you clearly mention them and the assumptions you make do not make the problem too simple!

1. 2)  Methodology: You must follow the steps of the mathematical modeling as outlined below. You need to provide a reasonable argument for each part (e.g., why you chose a particular model?).

1. Formulation

1. 1. Defining the problem clearly
   2. Identifying the model to use
   3. Gathering real-world data

1. Solution

1. 1. Identifying feasible solutions
   2. Evaluating feasible solutions and finding the optimal solution
   3. Testing the solution
   4. Sensitivity analysis

1. Implementation

1. 1. Determining the actions that should be taken
   2. Planning for taking the identified actions

1. 3)  Data: You must use real-world data and include the reference to the data you used.

1. 4)  Validity of arguments: Your arguments must have a solid basis. For example, if you conduct

sensitivity analysis on a specific parameter, you need to provide a reasonable argument for why you chose that particular parameter.

Scenarios

1.  Should you always look for the best of anything (which are typically more expensive), or buy a cheaper lower quality alternative?
