Your cafeteria is serving chicken noodle soup today, which it sources from adistributor and then warms up locally in the kitchen. The soup now sits in a large bowl anda server uses a large ladle to fill the soup into the smaller bowls handed out to the students.Consider the following variables:• Outside temperature.• Duration that the soup was heated before being put in the bowl.• Temperature of the soup in a student’s bowl.• Temperature level to which the soup is warmed up.• Insulation of the bowl used for storing the soup.• Duration that the soup bowl is open when the server inserts the ladle to serve a student.Which of these variables are (a) input variables, (b) output variables, and (c) environmentalvariables?

At the beginning of each week, a machine is in one of four conditions: 1 = excellent; 2 = good; 3 = average; 4 = bad. The weekly revenue earned by a machine in state 1, 2, 3, or 4 is 100, 90, 50, or 10, respectively. After observing the condition of the machine at the beginning of the week, the company has the option, for a cost of 200, of instantaneously replacing the machine with an excellent machine. The quality of the machine deteriorates over time, as shown in the file P10 41.xlsx. Four maintenance policies are under consideration: Policy 1: Never replace a machine. Policy 2: Immediately replace a bad machine. Policy 3: Immediately replace a bad or average machine. Policy 4: Immediately replace a bad, average, or good machine. Simulate each of these policies for 50 weeks (using at least 250 iterations each) to determine the policy that maximizes expected weekly profit. Assume that the machine at the beginning of week 1 is excellent.

CONTROL SYSTEMSFood and beverage controls involve many different parts of the facility, and planning for these controls before the project is under construction is strongly recommend. These areas of control should be carefully considered:  Cash control Sales analysis Guest check control Food production forecasting Storeroom and refrigeration control Backdoor security Labor control Purchasing and receiving control Quality Control Portion Control Please give definitions of each given Control system.
Mr. Ferdinand is a well-known entrepreneur who sells fresh organic beef to persons in the localcommunity. Customers love the quality of meet that Mr. Ferdinand sells so they tend torecommend his product to other people. Recently, Mr. Ferdinand has been running out of beefto sell to his customers. One customer suggests to him that he must use past sales records toforecast demand for his beef so that he can meet his customers' demand.I. Using a numerical example, demonstrate to Mr. Ferdinand how he can use a three-week and a four-week weighted moving average to forecast demand for his beef.II. Show how Mr. Ferdinand can test the accuracy of his forecast. III. Explain to Mr. Ferdinand two ways in which he can benefit from doing a forecast for his beef.

Question 1: A company making tires for bikes is concerned about the exact width of its cyclocross tires. The company has a lower specification limit of 22.8 mm and an upper specification limit of 23.2 mm. The standard deviation is 0.15 mm and the mean is 23 mm. What is the process capability index (Cpk) for the process? Question 2: Consider again that the company making tires for bikes is concerned about the exact width of its cyclocross tires. The company has a lower specification limit of 22.8 mm and an upper specification limit of 23.2 mm. The standard deviation is 0.15 mm and the mean is 23 mm. What is the probability that a tire will either be too wide or too narrow? Question 3: You are working in a small, student-run company that sends out merchandise with university branding to alumni around the world.

Figure shows summer air visibility measurements for Denver, Colorado. The acceptable visibility standard is 100, with readings above 100 indicating clean air and good visibility, and readings below 100 indicating temperature inversions caused by forest fires, volcanic eruptions, or collisions with comets.a. Is a trend evident in the data? Which time-series techniques might be appropriate for estimating the average of these data?b. A medical center for asthma and respiratory diseases located in Denver has great demand for its services when air quality is poor. If you were in charge of developing a short-term (say, 3-day) forecast of visibility, which causal factor(s) would you analyze? In other words, which external factors hold the potential to significantly affect visibility in the short term?c. Tourism, an important factor in Denver’s economy, is affected by the city’s image. Air quality, as measured by visibility, affects the city’s image. If you were responsible for development of…
