Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. Is Ben Gibson acting legally? Is he acting ethically? Why or why not?

Ltd (EPF) was launched. In 2019 the management of ERF started production with 100 workers per shift, each of the three shifts working 8 hours per day. Every working day the payroll cost was GHIC 20,000 and overhead expenses amounted to GHC 5000 and material cost GHC 4000. At the end of the first year, the company produced 1,000,000 boxes of pineapple juice. During the second year, EPF acquired a loan from Exim Bank to purchase a new plant.

One of the products of Edwards Lifesciences (EL) is artificial heart valves made from the heart valves of pigs.8 Different sizes of valves are required. However, the size of a pig's heart valve cannot be ascertained before the heart is purchased and opened. Therefore, EL has a mismatch problem: shortages of some sizes and excess of others. A program was established to document the size distribution of valves supplied by each supplier, and purchases were made from those suppliers with the needed sizes. Linear programming was used to determine the set of the suppliers that collectively satisfied EL's demand. Suppose EL purchases pig valves from three suppliers. The cost and size mix of the valves purchased from each supplier are given in the table below. Each month EL places one order with each supplier. Suppose next month, 250 large, 300 medium, and 100 small valves are needed. Formulate an LP that can be used to minimize the cost of acquiring the needed valves and use Excel's Solver to…
