Oriole Professionals, a management consulting firm, specializes in strategic planning for financial institutions. Mark Martin and George Garcia, partners in the firm, are assembling a new strategic planning model for clients to use.

The model is currently being test-marketed at five small financial institutions. These financial institutions are listed below, along with the number of combined computer/labour hours used by each institution to run the model once:

One division, Health Services, is well known Inside CHS for its efficient Information technology (IT). A smaller division, Optics, has approached Health Services with a proposal that it provide IT support in the form of machine time for some of Optics's billing and administrative work. After an analysis of the demands that Optics would place on the system, the IT manager of Health Services notes that Health Services would have to lease a new server because of the additional load. The lease rates for the current server are a fixed annual lease of $3,280 and it averages machine time of 2,900 hours annually. The new server leases for an annual rate of $5,040. Because the new server is a faster machine, Health Services can complete its current requirements In only 2,040 hours. The work for Optics is estimated to be 1,110 hours. In addition to leasing a new server, there are two other changes Health Services would have to make in IT. First, it will have to…Suppose that FedEx Kinko’s has decided to install personal computers and printers in its Pittsburgh store that will be rented to customers on an hourly basis.
