Design a study to identify what might be the probable ultimate cause/s of the decline in sales. For looking at the different causes, consider the box and arrow diagram given. Note the following things about the box and arrow diagram: If the arrow’s head is towards a box, that means the variable in the box (where the arrow’s head is) affects the variable in the box from where the arrow originated. E.g “Revenue/Sales” is affected by the “Number of shoppers/customers”. The boxes in grey are the variables you as a firm/owner can directly expect to affect which can further affect other variables in the model. E.g. You can incorporate training programs to improve “customer service” perceptions and, ultimately “Sales”. There is a hierarchy of the variables such that we have started from the broadest ones in thetop and then went to the finer one. The motivation for the research group here is to design a study for the store. This study is to find out the customer’s current perception…
CASE STUDY: STUDENT ADVISING DSS From (Jessup and Valacich, 2003) Good student advising for course selection is one way to help retain students. Student advising is a time consuming activity for faculty involved in the process and is particularly important for newly starting students. Also it is particularly difficult to schedule advising sessions for part-time students. A university developed and implemented a Web based system to help students select modules. The system is linked to the university-wide database of student records so that it can consider a list of all completed courses as well as student interests when making recommendations. The DSS (Decision Support System) adviser makes course suggestions while considering degree requirements, prerequisites, availability, and student interests. The system knows when courses will be offered and can analyse the transcript of transfer students…
Case Study 2: Quality Management Your line manager has become increasingly concerned about the product and service quality. This results from a surge in the number of customers who have contacted her to highlight problems they have encountered while shopping at the Pet Kingdom store. The complains seem to focus on two areas; billing errors being made at the checkout and variations in the weight of Pet Kingdom branded dried dog food bags. To better understand the situation, Ms Lionheart has requested detailed data to be collected. Table 3 shows the data from the audit of 50 random bills per day issued over the past 30 days. Table 4 presents the weight sampling data (mean and range in kg) for 27 random samples of five observations each taken from the daily dog food deliveries. Ms Lionheart noticed that the number of billing errors increased in the last third of the month. She knows that the company wants high quality standards and wonders if both processes meet 3 sigma standards. She…

CASE STUDY Jeff Spud from ‘Spud’s Farm’ is your client and is a medium sized potato farmer on the north-west coast of Tasmania. You are asked to give him financial and business advice on how his business can survive the problems he is facing from powerful buyers of his produce and with competition from other local, interstate and overseas producers. His previous contracts for his potato crop have been from McCain, a global company. Previously he was able to form a collective with other farmers in the region to negotiate the price to be paid by McCain per tonne. He understands there is some legal issue on negotiating price as a collective and requests advice on this. Jeff has explained that he can produce 50 tonnes of potatoes per hectare and the contract price per tonne he has been given is $248. He has potentially 45 hectares of farm he can use for potatoes. He has provided you with the estimated fixed and variable costs for each farmed hectare. Below are some snippets from recent…
