- During nearly four decades of business operations, Memphis-based FedEx has earned a reputation for reliable, on-time delivery of packages to homes and offices around the country. Founder Fred Smith originally focused on overnight deliveries, choosing Memphis as the company’s headquarters because the airport rarely closes due to bad weather. With FedEx’s planes departing and arriving on schedule nearly all the time, its express shipments usually remained on schedule, then and now. To reassure customers that delivery will take place when and where promised, the firm offers a money-back guarantee on time-sensitive express shipments, among other services. FedEx has steadily expanded its portfolio of services since the 1970s. Its original overnight express delivery is currently available to U.S. customers in various forms, including “first-overnight” delivery, next-morning delivery, next-afternoon delivery, and budget-pleasing two- or three-day delivery. The company’s services also include cost-effective ground delivery for parcels and extra-speedy same-day delivery for urgent deliveries within 1,800 cities. Over the years, FedEx has widened its delivery network to more than 220 countries. It has purchased more cargo jets and acquired specialized shipping firms, including Tiger International, Roberts Express, RPS, and TNT Express, to support global growth. For international business customers needing products, parts, or raw materials shipped across countries or continents, the company now offers time-saving services such as commercial freight forwarding and cross-border logistical support. To add the convenience of local drop-off and pickup points for U.S. consumers and small businesses, FedEx acquired the Kinko’s office services company in 2004 and later rebranded it as FedEx Office. This acquisition also added printing and copying to the menu of services offered. Then the company arranged for large U.S. retailers such as Walgreens, Albertsons, Kroger, and Safeway to accept packages for shipment and receive package delivery for customer pickup in thousands of store locations. This means people who want to send a package can head to a nearby retailer and ship where they shop, rather than making a separate trip to the FedEx location. It’s also a safe alternative for packages to be picked up by people who don’t want FedEx shipments left by the front door. Another service FedEx offers to small and mid-sized businesses, including retailers, is FedEx Fulfillment. The purpose is to expedite order fulfillment by having each business store its products in a FedEx warehouse. Then, when the business’s customers place orders, FedEx puts the products into boxes bearing the business’s own logo and ships directly to those customers. The business doesn’t need a separate warehouse or staff for fulfillment, and packages are on their way to customers more quickly because the products were in FedEx’s warehouse, ready to be packed and shipped. This service puts FedEx into direct competition with Amazon.com, which offers a similar service to merchants that sell through the online Amazon Marketplace. But it also gives businesses that don’t sell via Amazon a fast and professional fulfillment alternative. FedEx is careful to let customers know, through media and social-media announcements, when it anticipates that extreme weather or other conditions will cause delays or force it to halt pickups and deliveries. For the duration of Hurricane Irma, for example, FedEx said it would suspend deliveries in Florida. Some Florida customers who had ordered generators to be delivered via FedEx were unhappy, because they worried about being without power during and after the storm. But one FedEx employee loaded several generator orders into his car and took them to customers himself. When a customer posted a grateful compliment to FedEx on Facebook, the message generated thousands of likes, shares, and positive comments. The company also received positive comments for its donations of cash and transportation services to areas devastated by Hurricanes Irma, Harvey, and Maria. According to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), FedEx often tops the list of U.S. shipping companies as ranked by customers surveyed. Every day, the company delivers 13 million packages—and during the busy year-end holiday season, it delivers many more. By meeting customers’ expectations for on-time deliveries, FedEx has increased annual revenues beyond $60 billion and positioned itself for continued growth in the future. How does FedEx’s money-back guarantee address customers’ concerns about heterogeneity?The manager of a local restaurant “RRR” asks you to improve the existing “online food ordering system” with an additional function. It is desired that the new function informs the customer about the approximate time needed to deliver the foods after customer submits the order via the website of “RRR”. If you plan to prepare an online questionnaire for the customers that they may fill on theweb site of “RRR” Write 2 questions that you may use nominal scale and 2 questions that you may useinterval scale.Q/ Talk in details about : Attendance management in school problem, Make a virtual system to solve this problem using one of the MIS topics, and explain the topic and the method used to solve this problem

Checker 59 General 58 Service level 55 Policy/Procedures 40 Price Marking 45 Product Quality 87 Product Request 105 Checkout Queue 33 Stockout Condition 170 Other 71Forecasting and Queuing model List three positive and three negative outcomes for each of these application of management scienceMGMT Hospital Inc is a private concern that recently opened its doors to the public in the suburbsamidst heavy traffic. There are hardly any quiet nights. Sirens are a constant feature. However, onceinside, there is just the hustle and bustle of hospital staff going back and forth. A hospitalreadmission is when a patient who is discharged from the hospital, is re-admitted again within acertain period of time. Hospital readmission rates for certain conditions are now considered anindicator of hospital quality, and also affect the cost of care adversely. For this reason, Centers forMedicare & Medicaid Services established the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP)which aims to improve quality of care for patients and reduce health care spending by applyingpayment penalties to hospitals that have more than expected readmission rates for certain conditions.Although diabetes is not yet included in the penalty measures, the program is regularly adding newdisease conditions to the…
- The sales manager of STC Telecommunication Company, conducts interviews of the sales representatives. During the interview, these questions were asked from the sales representatives which are related to the performance of their job: the percentage of the time spent in making presentations to new potential customers, telephone conversation with current customers, time spent working on the computer, and engaging in on- the job activities. What potential sources of error might be associated with the manager’s line of questioning specifically on the different tasks performed by the sales representatives?Zilibwino Bank had received a number of complaints on the length of time(queuing time) customers took to make deposit and withdraw money. The manager responded by increasing the bank teller staff by 10 percent. Complaints on queuing time quickly decreased, but then complaints on the cost of staffsuddenly increased. Oddly enough, when staff costs were analyzed, the manager found that the average cost of staff had actually decreased relative to what it was before the increase in staff. What are some possible explanations for the complaints, and what actions might the manager contemplate?Consider the order delivery system of Heartha Hardware and Construction Supplies:- Customers (whether by bulk or retail) would line up in a counter where sales representatives will entertain them. It would take about 15 minutes before a customer will be entertained due to the number of customers being served by the sales representative and only about 4 sales representatives are on duty every day.- The sales representative will take down the customer’s order in the order slip with corresponding prices. On some cases, she will ask the person in-charge in the warehouse if the items are available. She then forwards the order slip to the cashier.- The cashier would sum-up again manually the order slip from the sales representative to check the accuracy of the footing of the totals as well as the prices indicated. This would take about 10 minutes, depending on the bulk of the order being placed.- The official receipt will be printed and will be given to the…
