CASE
STUDY 1
The
Indian Electric company manufactures two popular brand of ceiling fans, Cool
home and A1 Bahar. Each fan is processed through two main departments: machine
shop, assembly and testing shop which have respectively 1200 machine hours and
1600
man
hours of available capacity per day. Each cool home fan requires 3 hours of
capacity of machine shop and one hour capacity of assembly and testing shop.
Similarly each A1 bahar fan requires 2 hours of machine shop and assembly shor
capacity. The market
for
the two models has been surveyed recently which suggests that a maximum of 250
nos of Cool Home and 200 nos of Al Bahar can be sold per day.
Answer
the following question.
Q1.
If the profit of fans is rs. 60 on a Cool home and rs. 80 on A1 Bahar, what
quantity of each fan be produced to maximise profit using simplex method

Q2.
How and where the simplex method is used
The
Simplex method is a search procedure that sifts through the set of basic
feasible solutions, one at a time, until the optimal basic feasible solution
(whenever it exists) is identified. The method is essentially an efficient
implementation of both Procedure Search and Procedure Corner Points discussed
in the previous section.
Although
the method does not require any explicit reliance on the graph, we will first
explain the basic idea behind the Simplex method graphically; and we will do
this using the example from the last section. Our discussion will refer to
Figure below.
We
will begin the search at (any) one of the corner points and then ascend, as if
we are climbing a hill, toward the optimal corner point along the edges of the
feasible region. In this particular example, the Simplex method will begin at
point A. Our first task is to determine whether or not point A is optimal.
Observe that there are two edges that emanate from point A, one ends at point B
and the other at point E. In other words, there are two corner points that are
adjacent to point A. Therefore, we will compare the objective-function value at
point A against those at points B and E. In this case, both B and E happen to
have an objective-function value that is higher than that at point A.
Therefore, point A is not optimal, and we can choose to travel to either one of
these two points. Suppose we choose to go to point E, as indicated by an arrow
in Figure LP-5. Then, after arriving at point E, we, again, need to find out
whether or not E is optimal. To determine this, we simply repeat the process of
comparing the objective-function value at point E against those at the adjacent
corner points A and D. Clearly, of these two points, only D needs to be
examined, since we just travelled from point A, which is known to be inferior.
After checking the objective-function value at point D to find out that it
happens to be better than that at point E. We, therefore, next travel to point
D (also indicated by an arrow in Figure ). On arrival at point D, we again
compare its OFV against those at points C and E. Since the OFV at D turns out
to be better than that at C, we finally conclude that point D is optimal.
Simplex method is an iterative
procedure that allows to improve the solution at each step. This procedure is
finished when isn't possible to improve the solution.
Starting from a random vertex value of
the objective function, Simplex method tries to find repeatedly another vertex
value that improves the one you have before. The search is done through the
side of the polygon (or the edges of the polyhedron, if the number of variables
is higher). As the number of vertices (and edges) is finite, it will always be
able to find the result. Simplex method is based on the following property: if
objective function, F, doesn't take the max value in the A vertex, then there is
an edge starting at A, along which the value of the function grows.
You should take care about Simplex
method only works with "≤" type inequality and independent
coefficients higher or equal to zero, and you will have to standardize the
restrictions for the algorithm. Case after this procedure "≥" o
"=" type restrictions appear (or not modified) you should try other
ways, being Two-Phase Simplex method the best choice.

ABC
Dhampur consistently recorded profit and increased productivity of the workman
since its inception. After the price decontrol of sugar, many new players have
started producing sugar under collaboration with international firms having
latest technology above making profit by cost reduction. In the past ABC
dhampur had gone for backward integration by developing their own plantation. With
the liberation, the import of sugar became cheaper and the new players are
importing the inputs. The company’s performance in terms of productivity and
profit has gone down due to the changed environment. The BOD of the company
decided to take the following steps a) Modernization and automation of the
plant b) Reduction of man power by introducing the voluntary retirement scheme
c) Disposal of captive plantation area and switch over to the import of inputs
d) To reconstruct the organization and separating materials management from
manufacturing, production planning and control from the traditional
manufacturing activity e) Introduction of computerization and developing a
strong MIS
Answer
the following question.
Q1.
What are the advantages of turnaround strategy?
ANSWER
Advantages of turnaround strategy are:
1. Diagnosing the problem:
This
is the first step in the restructuring implementation process. To implement
turnaround strategy requires diagnosis of the sickness problem. Exact cause of
the business failure is to be identified to frame plans for the revival
process. Proper screening helps to trap the root cause of the industrial
problem.
Q2.
Give a similar example of turnaround strategy.
MARKETING
MANAGEMENT – ISBM MBA
Answer
the following question.
Q1.R.K.Industries
Ltd., intends to launch a new folding exercise cycle in Indian market. As a
marketing manager which steps would you like to take while launching this
product? How will you conduct the test marketing for this product. Make
necessary Assumptions and justify your answer.
Answer
Steps I would like to
take are;
Conduct
research on your competitor's products. Research
products similar to the one you're planning to launch, especially those already
well-known by consumers. Check out trade journals, competitor websites and
brochures, and any other source of information on the products that you can
find. Use this information to orient your launch towards the ways in which your
product is different and better than the competition.
Perform
a SWOT
analysis. A
SWOT analysis of your product can help you take a closer look at your product
and compare your product to a similar product made by your competition. SWOT
stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. You can perform a
SWOT on your own or in a group setting as well. A SWOT can help you to:
·
figure out how best to market your
product before its launch
·
identify problems that you may need
to address
·
find ways to make the launch more
successful
·
address any problems before the
launch
Q2.
Present a scheme of your choice of the distribution channels for a low price,
‘low
– tech’ domestic consumption product . Margins could be small but sales quantum
will be huge .justify each channel option.
Answer
We
consider direct marketing early in the term as a “contrast” situation against which
later channels can be compared. In general, you cannot save money by
“eliminating the middleman” because intermediaries specialize in performing
certain tasks that they can perform more cheaply than the manufacturer.
Most grocery products are most efficiently sold to the consumer through retail
stores that take a modest mark-up—it would not make sense for manufacturers to
ship their grocery products in small quantities directly to consumers.
Q3.
How will you alter the marketing mix –intensity & composition ,as a product
is entering the maturity stage in the lifecycle? How again the marketing mix
will have to be modified ,when the same product ,later on, starts showing sales
– decline?
Answer
Q4.
What is meant by product line .Elaborate the various Line Management Strategies
Q5.
“Effective advertising and aggressive sales promotional schemes help the
salesmen in performing their duties and reaching their sales targets.” Discuss.
Q6. Define the term Channels of Distribution. Describe various types of channels used for distributing the consumer product and industrial products and industrial products. What are the aspects considered while selecting the channels of distribution.
Answer
A
distribution channel is a necessity in business. This lesson will discuss these
channels, the types of distribution systems, and the goods and services that
move along the channel. The distribution function of marketing is comparable to
the place component of the marketing mix in that both center on getting the goods
from the producer to the consumer. A distribution channel in marketing refers to the path or
route through which goods and services travel to get from the place of
production or manufacture to the final users. It has at its center
transportation and logistical considerations.
Q7.
MK Industries Ltd. Intends to launch a two seater tiny motor car in Indian
market. As a marketing manager which steps would You like to take to lunch this
novel product? Make necessary assumptions and justify your answer.
Q8.

Was directly of indirectly related to packing decisions.” Critically evaluate
the Statement describing the nature and importance of packing decisions. Give suitable
illustrations from Indian consumer market.

Mechano Engineering, a public
company limited, with its registered office at Mumbai and plants at Mumbai,
Nasik and Bangalore,
was established in 1946. The
company manufactures engineering products, with wide range of applications and
the customers are
public utilities, private clients,
project authorities, etc. Due to recession, the company was stagnant for couple
of years but, of late, it
is showing signs of progress. The
workers were divided between two different unionsone
of them with a positive outlook
towards
the management and the second with
a conservative and somewhat hostile approach, which resulted in interunion
rivalry, violence,
work stoppage and, to some extent,
risk to their lives. The workers also resorted to go slow, stoppage of work on
minor issues rather
frequently. It was observed that
the employee’s turnover was also high. Due to recessionary trend, the
management decided to reduce
the work force and control the
operations, the union and the officers were kept informed. When the final date
of layoff and
retrenchment and announced, the
workers resorted to strike, violence etc. The management has to protect them by
calling in the
security staff. This affected the
company’s performance and the news spread like wild fire in the market. The
immediate impact of
this was cancellation of the major
others by the clients, which further worsened the situation. The General
Manager (works) and the
Personnel Manager submitted their
resignations due to frustration and not falling in the line with management
thinking. They felt the
management was thinking
conservative approach and was not bothered about consequences. The marketing
staff was demoralized
and many of the junior officers
resigned. The management was not able to come out of this vicious circle and
was really at a loss to
understand the behavior of the
staff.
Answer the following question.
Q1. The management would now like
you to study the above situation and give your recommendation to overcome the
present crisis.
Q2. Why the officers were
resigning? Justify your answer.
Case (20
Marks)
This case is about the
bullfighting sport Jallikattu, which was popular in the south Indian state of
Tamil Nadu. Jallikattu was
traditionally played during the
annual Pongal celebrations and had a lot of cultural significance. But
activists alleged that the sport
caused a lot of deaths and
injuries to both the bulls and the participants. In response to the protests
against the bullfighting sport, the
Supreme Court of India banned
Jallikattu in May 2014. However, the government of India had later lifted the
ban on Jallikattu.
Some sections of society and most
of the leading political parties supported Jallikattu and argued that it was
part of south Indian
culture. But activist groups said
that they were determined to continue their fight on bullfighting. In January
2016, India’s Ministry
of Environment and Forests (MEF)
issued a notification allowing Jallikattu, a bullfighting sport popular in the
south Indian state of
Tamil Nadu, to be held during the
annual Pongal season. Jallikattu had earlier been banned by the country’s
Supreme Court in
response to a petition by animal
rights activists. The decision of the MEF was flayed by animal rights groups
who alleged that there
were political motives behind the
order. However, all the leading political parties in the state denied that
there was any political
motive and said their support for
the bullfighting sport was for pure cultural reasons. Despite the calls to ban
the bullfighting sport,
Jallikattu received support from
some sections of society which considered it as a symbol of south Indian
culture and tradition

A large dry cleaning operation had
a central production facility that was fed by 7 regional dropoff/
pickup
locations. The busy
seasons (i.e., spring and fall)
resulted in considerable customer dissatisfaction and loss of business as
product turnaround went from
4 and 5 days to 8 and 9 days. This
project involved the use of Job Analysis techniques to improve individual
productivity, eliminate
bottlenecks in the flow of
material, assign to specific people, and increase throughput. We worked in
small groups with employees
and managers to brainstorm
problems and methods for meeting customer expectations as we needed employees
to fully buyin
to the
implementation. Along with cross
training, quality checks at each station rather than at the final station, and
proper maintenance
techniques that eliminated
breakdowns on machines, we were able to implement a production program that
guaranteed a 5day
turnaround time throughout the
year or the cleaning was free. Most items were returned to the feeder stores in
3 days and the
company was considering an
additional advertising program for selected times of the year as a result of
this new competitive
advantage. We also created a
series of flash reports for alerting managers to problems in the workflow.
