B.     GNATT Chart

C.    Bullwhip effect in SCM

D.    Scheduling in services

Ans. A. Total productive Maintenance:

Maintenance is a function in any operations system. Maintenance keeps the equipments  in  good  condition.  Generally,  equipments  deteriorate  because usage  causes  wear  and  tear  to  the  parts  causing  inaccuracies  to  the products  made  by  them.  When  the  deterioration  produces  components which  exceed  the  permitted  deviations  rendering  them  unacceptable, maintenance  is  undertaken  to  bring  back  the  machine  to  produce acceptable  components. Sometimes the failure is sudden and serious and the  equipment  stops  working.  Disruption  of

C.    Bullwhip effect in SCM:

An organisation always  goes through ups and downs. It  is necessary that the managers of the organisation keep track of the market conditions and analyse the changes. They must take decisions on the resources and make necessary  changes  within  the  organisation  to  meet  the  market  demands. Failing to do so may result in wild swings in the orders. This may adversely affect the functioning of the organisation resulting in lack of coordination and trust among supply chain members. The changes may affect the information and  may  lead  to  demand

3.  The  concept  of  financial  leverage  is  a  significant,  as  it  has  direct  relation  with  capital structure. Do you agree? If so, substantiate your arguments.

Relation between Financial leverage and  the capital structure

Financial  leverage  refers  to  a  firm's  use  of  fixed-charge  securities  like debentures and preference shares (though the latter is not always included in debt) in its plan of financing the assets.

The concept of financial leverage is a significant one because it has direct relation  with  capital  structure  management.  It  determines  the  relationship that could exist between the debt and equity securities. A firm which does not  issue  fixed-charge  securities  has  an  equity  capital  structure  and  does not  have  any  financial  leverage.  However,  it  is common for firms to  issue some  debt

6.  Facebook bought WhatsApp on Feb, 19, 2014 for $19 billion. This was split between $4 billion in cash, $12 billion worth of Facebook shares, and $3 billion in restricted stock units to be paid in four years. Do you think the market capitalization  has played a significant role in pricing the valuation. Discuss the Walter’s model assumptions in this context.

Answer:

Prof. James E Walter considers that dividend pay – outs are relevant and have a bearing on the share prices of the firm. He further states that investment policies of a firm cannot be separated from its dividend policy and both are interlinked. The choice of an appropriate dividend policy affects the value of the firm. Walter model clearly establishes a relationship between the firm’s rate of return “r” and its

2. A brand is a composite set of beliefs and associations in the mind of consumers. In brand development,  as  a  part  of  branding  strategy  decision,  the  brand  manager  can  decide  to  create new brand elements for the new products, apply some of the existing brand elements to the new product, or use a combination of existing and new brand elements to the existing and new products. Explain the different branding strategies used by the companies for their range of products.

Definition of Brand:

A  traditional  definition  of  brand  stands  as  a  name,  word,  mark,  symbol, device, or a combination thereof, used to identify some product or service of one  seller  and  to  differentiate  them  from  those  of  the  competitors.  The definition  clearly  focuses  on  the  function  of  a  brand,  that  is,  to  identify, irrespective of the specific means employed for the identif ication. A modern definition talks about the brand as a vehicle for delivering a certain value to the consumers. Hence, a brand is a mental patent and

PROGRAM  - MBA - SEMESTER  II
SUBJECT CODE & NAME - MB0047- MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM


1.  Professor  A.  Van  Cauwenbergh  of  Antwerp  University,  in  a  paper  presented  at  the  Tenth Anniversary  Conference  of  the  European  Institute  for  Advanced  Studies  in  Management, presented four revisions to traditional Management Theory. In summary, the revisions are:

(1) The initiative for  the renewal and adjustment of the activities of a firm should come from the  different  levels  in  the  management  hierarchy.  “Strategy  is  not  a  privilege  of  top management”.

(2)  Firms,  especially  big  firms,  are  incoherent  systems  (goals  of  the  different  component systems are not simply subdivisions of an overall goal; there are individual, conflicting goals as well).

Some  of  these  differences  are  manifestations  of  organizational  initiative  and  vitality.  Using information  systems  and  central  planning  and  rule-making  to  suppress  all  differences  is destructive to organizations.

(3) The most vital “fluid” of an enterprise is the aggregate of its entrepreneurial values. The most  fundamental  and  motivation  and  control  come  through  these  shared  values  relative  to work, quality, efficiency, etc. Management often neglects these values and assumes that the collection and dissemination of information will provide sufficient motivation and control.

(4)  Enterprises  are  open  systems;  their  structure  and  operating  processes  ar e  determined  by their  environment.  This  means  organizations  must  be  designed  to  continually  adjust  to  the environment.

a. If these revisions are correct, how is planning to be organized?
b. How should the information system support the planning organization?





Below figure depicts the organisational planning process : -


Fig. : Organisational Planning Process

The  aspect  of  architecture,  the  hardware  specification,  the  details  of software  to  be  developed,  the  language,  the  nature  of  users  and  the numbers of users spread over different location, the network topology are vital inputs that go into the planning the development of an MIS.

a) Development of long range plans of the MIS
In  the  early  days  of  computing,  people  viewed  computers  as  costly instruments, which  occupied  large  space.  Computers were essentially used for the purpose of computing and accounting the  business transactions. The computers processed data and generated reports for filing statutory returns. This trend  gradually  changed  and  organisations invested  on  computers  to address the huge volume

The steps in the process as suggested by Lewin’s model :

This three step model gives a manager or change agent an idea of what implementing change means when dealing with people.  The 3 phases of the Kurt Lewin model provide guidance on how to go about getting people to change: a manager will implement new processes and re-assign tasks, but change will only be effective if the people involved embrace it and help putting it into practice it.

b.  A  paper  mill  produces  two  grades  of  paper  viz.,  X  and  Y.  Because  of  raw  material restrictions, it cannot produce more than 400 tons  of grade X paper and 300 tons of grade Y paper in a week. There are 160 production hours in a week. It requires 0.20 and 0.40 hours to produce a ton of grade X and Y papers. The mill earns a profit of Rs. 200 and Rs. 500 per ton of grade X and Y paper respectively. Formulate this as a Linear Programming Problem.

Answer:

Let x1 and x2 be the quantity of two product x and y produced per week.
So they can produce x1+x2<=400+300 due to restrictions of raw material.

Degeneracy in transportation problem: A  basic  solution  to  an  m-origin,  n  destination  transportation  problem  can have at the most m+n-1 positive basic variables (non-zero), otherwise the basic  solution  degenerates.  It  follows  that  whenever  the  number  of  basic cells is less than m + n – 1, the transportation problem is a degenerate one.

The degeneracy can develop in two ways:

Case 1  -  The degeneracy develops while determining an initial assignment via any one of the initial assignment methods discussed earlier. To  resolve  degeneracy,  you  must  augment  the  positive

In  a  rectangular  game,  the  pay-off  matrix  of  player  A  is  pay-off  in  one specific  row (row rth ) exceeding  the  corresponding  pay-off  in  another specific  row ( row sth) .  This  means  that whatever  course  of  action  is adopted by player B, for A, the course of action Ar yields greater gains than the  course  of  action As.  Therefore, Ar is  a  better  strategy  than As irrespective of B’s strategy. Hence, you can say that Ar dominates As .
