2 What is Management Science? Logical, systematic approach to decision making using quantitative methods. Science Scientific methods used to solve business related problems. Goal for this class: logically approach and solve many different problems. Management Science Approach to Problem Solving Observation Definition of the Problem Constructing the Model Solving the Model/problem Implementation of Solution (process is never really complete) Observation Identify the problem Problem does not imply that there is something wrong with the process Problem could imply need for improvement Definition of the Problem Clearly define problem Prevents incorrect/inappropriate solution Listing goals could be helpful 2
3 Constructing the Model Represents the problem in abstract form Schematic, scale, mathematical relationship between variables (equation) Ex: Income = Hours Worked * Pay Components of the Model Variable/Decision Variables Independent Dependent Objective Function Parameter Constraints Model Solution Same as solving the problem: Ex: Z = $20X 5X subject to 4X = 100 Solution: X=25 Z = $375 Implementation of Solution Solution aids us in making a decision but does not constitute the actual decision making. 3
4 Example Blue Ridge Hot Tubs manufactures and sell hot tubs. The company needs to decide how many hot tubs to produce during the next production cycle. The company buys prefabricated fiberglass hot tub shells from a local supplier and adds pump and tubing to the shells to create his hot tubs. The company has 200 pumps available. Each hot tub requires 9 hours of labor. The company expects to have 1,566 production labor hours during the next production cycle. A profit of $350 will be earned on each hot tub sold. The company is confident that all of the hot tubs will sell. The question is, how many should be produced if the company wants to maximize profits during the next production cycle? Msci Approach to Problem Solving Problem: Determine # of hot tubs to produce Definition: Maximize profit within the constraints of the labor hours and materials available Model: Max Z = $350X subject to 9X 1,566 labor hours Solution: X = 174; Z = 350(174) = $60,900 Implementation: Recommend making 174 hot tubs A Generic Mathematical Model Y = f(x 1, X 2,,X k ) Where: Y = dependent variable (a bottom line performance measure) X i = independent variables (inputs having an impact on Y) f(. ) = function defining the relationship between the X i and Y Categories of Mathematical Models Model Independent OR/MS Category Form of f(. ) Variables Techniques Prescriptive known, known or under LP, Networks, IP, well-defined decision maker s CPM, EOQ, NLP, control GP, MOLP Predictive unknown, known or under Regression Analysis, ill-defined decision maker s Time Series Analysis, control Discriminant Analysis Descriptive known, unknown or Simulation, PERT, well-defined uncertain Queueing, Inventory Models 4
5 Example Spring Mills 280 observations Three variables per observation Relatively large dataset Background Information Spring Mills produces and distributes a wide variety of manufactured goods. It has a large number of customers. Spring Mills classifies these customers as small, medium, or large, depending on the volume of business each does with them. Recently they have noticed a problem with accounts receivable. They are not getting paid by their customers in as timely a manner as they would like. This obviously costs them money. RECEIVE.XLS Summary Measures for Combined Data Spring Mills has gathered data on 280 customer accounts. For each of these accounts the data set lists three variables: Size - The size of the customer (coded 1 for small, 2 for medium, 3 for large). Days - The number of days since the customer was billed. Amount - The amount the customer owes. What information can we obtain from this data? 5
6 Scatterplot: Amount vs Days All Customers Scatterplot: Amount vs Days Small Customers Scatterplot: Amount vs Days Medium Customers Scatterplot: Amount vs Days Large Customers 6
7 Analysis -- continued There is obviously a lot going on here and it is evident form the charts. We point out the following: there are considerably fewer large customers than small or medium customers. the large customers tend to owe considerably more than small or medium customers. the small customers do not tend to be as long overdue as the large and medium customers. there is no relationship between Days and Amount for the small customers, but there is a definite positive relationship between these variables for the medium and large customers. Findings If Spring Mills really wants to decrease receivables, it might want to target the medium-sized customer group, from which it is losing the most interest. Or it could target the large customers because they owe the most on average. The most appropriate action depends on the cost and effectiveness of targeting any particular customer group. However, the analysis presented here gives the company a much better picture of what s currently going on.

8 Describing Data: The Basics Descriptive vs Inferential Statistics Descriptive statistics: The process of applying a method of analysis to a set of data in order to better understand the information contained within. Inferential statistics: Using a (sub)set of data (a sample) to predict behavior of a larger set of data (the population). Population Definition: Set of existing units (usually people, objects, transactions, or events); or Every element in a group that is the subject of interest Depends upon the problem or situation Examples: College students, Honda Accords, cash sales Population Parameters and Sample Statistics A population parameter is number calculated from all the population measurements that describes some aspect of the population. The population mean, denoted, is a population parameter and is the average of the population measurements. A point estimate is a one-number estimate of the value of a population parameter. A sample statistic is number calculated using sample measurements that describes some aspect of the sample. 8
9 Measures of Central Tendency The Mean Mean, The average or expected value Population X 1, X 2,, X N Sample x 1, x 2,, x n Median, M d The middle point of the ordered measurements x Mode, M o The most frequent value Population Mean Sample Mean N i=1 N X i x n i=1 n x i Relationships Among Mean, Median and Mode Variables Definition: Characteristic or property of an individual population unit Particular characteristics or properties may vary among units in a population Examples: Starting salary of MBA college graduates Price of peanut butter at grocery stores 9
10 Measurement Definition: The process of quantifying information Quantitative variables: Test scores, product and process measurements, survey results, etc. Qualitative variables: Product rating, arbitrary scales, etc. Sample Definition: Subset of the units of the population Example: 100 GPA s from all finance majors Tool wear on 3 machines out of 45 machines Notes: A random sample implies no statistical bias A census includes all population members Statistical Inference Definition: Estimation, prediction, or other generalizations about a population based on information contained in a sample. Example: Based on a 5 year sample of similar weather patterns, predicting the chance of rain today. Reliability of the Inference Four items discussed thus far allow for statistical inference: A population, variable(s) of interest, a sample, and an inference. Fifth Item: A measure of the reliability of the inference. How good the inference is, i.e. how much confidence can we place in the inference? 10
11 Example The approval rating of the President; what does it really mean? Uses a sample from the population to infer the percentage of the population that approves of his overall performance. Implies that 55% of the population approves of the president s performance plus or minus 5%, i.e. between 50% and 60%. Process Statistics A process transforms inputs into outputs: A manufacturing process which transforms aluminum sheet into aluminum cans. A service process which offers financial advice based on a customer s input. Samples are obtained from a process and statistical procedures can then be applied to make inferences about the process itself. Sampling a Process Process A sequence of operations that takes inputs (labor, raw materials, methods, machines, and so on) and turns them into outputs (products, services, and the like.) Inputs Process Outputs Types of Data Data can be classified into four types: Nominal Ordinal Interval Ratio A process is in statistical control if it displays constant level and constant variation. 11
12 Nominal Data Classify the members of the sample into categories (Categorical Data). Examples: An individual s religious affiliation Gender of applicants An individual s political party affiliation No mathematical properties, i.e. numerical values are only codes. Ordinal Data Units of the sample can be ordered with respect to the variable of interest. Examples: Size of rental cars. Ranking of microbrews with respect to taste. Ranking of consumer preferences for a product. No mathematical properties in that the difference between ranking values is meaningless. Interval Data Sample measurements enable comparisons between members of the sample, i.e. the differences between samples has meaning. Examples: Temperature or pressure readings. Machine speeds Can add and subtract but cannot multiply or divide; origin has no meaning. Ratio Data Equal distance between numbers imply equal distances between the values of the characteristic being measured, i.e. zero represents the absence of the characteristic being measured. Examples: Sales revenue for a product or service. Unemployment rate. 12
13 Classes of Data Data can be classified as either being: Qualitative data - nominal, ordinal, or Quantitative data - interval, ratio. Numerical data can also be discrete (countable) or continuous. Describing Data: Graphs and Tables Spreadsheet (or Database) Variable (or Field) Observation (or Record) Displaying Data Pie Chart Example For both Qualitative and Quantitative Data: Pie Charts Bar Graphs (Bar Charts) Histograms Frequency Tables Stem and Leaf Diagrams 1999 Cigarette Sales (in billions) by company Philip Morris, Reynolds, Brown and Williamson, 69.1 Lorillard, 48.6 American, 43.9 Liggett, Cigarette Sales (Billions of Cigarettes) Philip Morris Reynolds Brown and Williamson Lorillard American Liggett
14 Bar Graph Example Histogram Example 1999 Cigarette Sales (in billions) by company Philip Morris, Reynolds, Brown and Williamson, 69.1 Lorillard, 48.6 American, 43.9 Liggett, Cigarette Sales (Billions of Cigarettes) Liggett American Lorillard Brown and Williamson Reynolds Philip Morris Percentage of Sales Revenue spent on Advertising for a sample of 35 Fortune 500 companies: 1% to 3% (4) 3% to 5% (9) 5% to 7% (11) 7% to 9% (8) 9% to 11% (3) Measurement Classes Intervals are called measurement classes: A count of the members of a measurement class is the frequency. The proportion of members in a measurement class is the relative frequency. For a given interval, this proportion is calculated by dividing the frequency of the measurement class by the sample size. Relative Frequency Sample: Frequency Table: Sales Sales Company Revenue Company Revenue Range Count Proportion 1% to 3% % to 5% % to 7% % to 9% % to 11% Divide range into intervals of equal size. Count the number of sample members that fall within the ranges. 14
15 Relative Frequency Histogram Example Percentage of Sales Revenue spent on Advertising for a sample of 35 Fortune 500 companies: 1 to 3% (4/35=0.114) 3 to 5% (9/35=0.257) 5 to 7% (11/35=0.314) 7 to 9% (8/35=0.229) 9 to 11% (3/35=0.086) Stem and Leaf Diagrams Data is displayed graphically: The stem is the portion of the data to the left of the decimal point. The leaf is the portion of data to the right of the decimal point. Graphical representation much like Histogram. From our previous data: Stem Leaf Key: Leaf units are tenths. The Effect of Measurement Class Size on a Histogram A Histogram showing greater detail can be obtained by: Decreasing class size (which increases the number of classes), or Increasing sample size (which increases the number of members in each class) Excel and StatPro Add-in Demonstration Frequency tables Histograms Scatterplots Time series plots 15
