  2. Just how do you make decisions? Emotional direction Intuition Analytic thinking Are you an intuit, an analytic, what??? How many of you use models to make decisions?? Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

  3. Problems • Arise whenever there is a perceived difference between what is desired and what is in actuality. • Problems serve as motivators for doing something • Problems lead to decisions 42

  4. Problem Problem MS Model Mental Model Mental Model Decision Decision Action Action Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

  5. Model Classification Criteria • Purpose • Perspective • Use the perspective of the targeted decision-maker • Degree of Abstraction • Content and Form • Decision Environment • {This is what you should start any modeling facilitation meeting with} Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

  6. Purpose • Planning • Forecasting • Training • Behavioral research Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

  7. Perspective • Descriptive • “Telling it like it is” • Most simulation models are of this type • Prescriptive • “Telling it like it should be” • Most optimization models are of this type Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

  8. Degree of Abstraction • Isomorphic • One-to-one • Homomorphic • One-to-many Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

  15. Transportation Model • A transportation model is formulated for a class of problems with the following characteristics • a product is transported from a number of sources to a number of destinations at the minimum possible cost • each source is able to supply a fixed number of units of product • each destination has a fixed demand for the product • Solution (optimization) Algorithms • stepping-stone • modified distribution • Excel’s Solver Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

CARLTON PHARMACEUTICALS • Carlton Pharmaceuticals supplies drugs and other medical supplies. • It has three plants in: Cleveland, Detroit, Greensboro. • It has four distribution centers in: Boston, Richmond, Atlanta, St. Louis. • Management at Carlton would like to ship cases of a certain vaccine as economically as possible. Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

  25. Data • Unit shipping cost, supply, and demand • Assumptions • Unit shipping cost is constant. • All the shipping occurs simultaneously. • The only transportation considered is between sources and destinations. • Total supply equals total demand. Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

  27. The Associated Linear Programming Model • The structure of the model is: Minimize <Total Shipping Cost> ST [Amount shipped from a source] = [Supply at that source] [Amount received at a destination] = [Demand at that destination] • Decision variables Xij = amount shipped from source i to destination j. where: i=1 (Cleveland), 2 (Detroit), 3 (Greensboro) j=1 (Boston), 2 (Richmond), 3 (Atlanta), 4(St.Louis) Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

  36. DEPOT MAX A General Network Problem • Depot Max has six stores. • Stores 5 and 6 are running low on the model 65A Arcadia workstation, and need a total of 25 additional units. • Stores 1 and 2 are ordered to ship a total of 25 units to stores 5 and 6. • Stores 3 and 4 are transshipment nodes with no demand or supply of their own. Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

  37. Other restrictions • There is a maximum limit for quantities shipped on various routes. • There are different unit transportation costs for different routes. • Depot Max wishes to transport the available workstations at minimum total cost. Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

  42. MONTPELIER SKI COMPANY Using a Transportation model for production scheduling • Montpelier is planning its production of skis for the months of July, August, and September. • Production capacity and unit production cost will change from month to month. • The company can use both regular time and overtime to produce skis. • Production levels should meet both demand forecasts and end-of-quarter inventory requirement. • Management would like to schedule production to minimize its costs for the quarter. Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

  43. Data: • Initial inventory = 200 pairs • Ending inventory required =1200 pairs • Production capacity for the next quarter = 400 pairs in regular time. = 200 pairs in overtime. • Holding cost rate is 3% per month per ski. • Production capacity, and forecasted demand for this quarter (in pairs of skis), and production cost per unit (by months) Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

  44. Initial inventory • Analysis of Unit costs • Unit cost = [Unit production cost] + • [Unit holding cost per month][the number of months stays in inventory] • Example: A unit produced in July in Regular time and sold in September costs 25+ (3%)(25)(2 months) = $26.50 • Analysis of demand: • Net demand to satisfy in July = 400 - 200 = 200 pairs • Net demand in August = 600 • Net demand in September = 1000 + 1200 = 2200 pairs • Analysis of Supplies: • Production capacities are thought of as supplies. • There are two sets of “supplies”: • Set 1- Regular time supply (production capacity) • Set 2 - Overtime supply Forecasted demand In house inventory Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

  46. Source: July production in R/T Destination: July‘s demand. Source: Aug. production in O/T Destination: Sept.’s demand Unit cost= $25 (production) 32+(.03)(32)=$32.96 Unit cost =Production+one month holding cost Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

  48. Summary of the optimal solution • In July produce at capacity (1000 pairs in R/T, and 500 pairs in O/T). Store 1500-200 = 1300 at the end of July. • In August, produce 800 pairs in R/T, and 300 in O/T. Store additional 800 + 300 - 600 = 500 pairs. • In September, produce 400 pairs (clearly in R/T). With 1000 pairs retail demand, there will be (1300 + 500) + 400 - 1000 = 1200 pairs available for shipment to Ski Chalet. Inventory + Production - Demand Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
