Why would a manager be concerned with bandwidth? How is bandwidth measured?

Bandwidth is defined as the network’s capacity of transferring data and handling transmission. In organisations, in order to run business efficiently, managers are determined to transfer and receive information as quickly as possible without any delay or loss of valuable information. Bandwidth enable managers to measure the network performance, that is, how efficient the system is in sending and receiving data. Businesses, today, are majorly technology driven and therefore, any delay in transmitting or accepting important information may deeply affect the performance of the business. No manager would want poor bandwidth to have an impact on key business variables or loss of business opportunities. They do not want any restriction on the flow of data because of the slow transmission speed.
Bandwidth is measured in terms of bit rate performance, that is, the information sent or received by bit per unit of time. Bandwidth is generally measured in the units of bps (bits per second), kbps (kilobits per second), mbps (megabits per second), gbps (gigabits per second) and tbps (terabits per second).

  1. The manager of a grocery store wants to anticipate the sales of frozen pizza for the following month, so that he can prepare enough inventories to meet the demand. He predicts that the demand for a particular brand of frozen pizza will follow a normal distribution, and the average monthly demand will be 800 pieces with standard deviation of 120. (a) How many frozen pizza from this brand should be prepared to satisfy a 95% expected fill rate? (b) How many frozen pizza from this brand should be prepared so that the manager can keep the stock-out probability within 5%? (c) Even though the percentages for the expected fill rate and in-stock probability are the same, the order quantities differ. In a few sentences, explain the reason behind this difference (i.e., do your answers make sense? which one is greater and why? etc.).
  2. Company XYZ is a mid-sized R&D organization that is largely based on team work. As a result, semi-annual performance evaluations are conducted at the team and not individual level. Team A received a mediocre rating on the most recent performance evaluation. The manager explained that his appraisal was objective and was solely based on the mediocre quality of the last two projects the team completed which was also evidenced by mediocre customers’ evaluations. Although the team accepted the rating as very objective, one team member expressed his strong disagreement. He said that his own contribution was error-free and he should not be punished for the mistakes of his team members. He demanded to change his performance rating from the mediocre to high. As a manager, what would you do in this situation? What would be your response to the employee? Justify your answer. [This is a reactive approach. You need to deal with the situation as it is.] Proactively, would you do to avoid such situations in the future? Explain.

  4. 1. The fast-food restaurant McDonalds operates on national basis. The store manager of Mcdonalds on Jesse street has to decide how many ‘Cheese Dog’s to make every day. He learns that daily demand for ‘Cheese Dog’s follows a normal distribution of mean 100 and standard deviation 16. (a) The manager estimates that he will be able to make profit if he can sell more than 136 ‘Cheese Dog’s every day. The manager expects to get incentive only if he makes profit. What is the probability that the manager will receive incentive? (b) The manager is also aware that if the sale drops below 60, then he receives a pay-cut. What is the probability that he will receive a pay cut? (c) What is the probability that the ‘Cheese Dog’ sales is within 20% of the average value? (d) The store manager must plan to get breads ready to cook ‘Cheese Dog’ everyday morning. How many breads should he prepare for any given days so that he can keep the stock-out probability within 10%? (e) If the manager has materials available to make only 128 ‘Cheese Dog’s for a given day, how many will the expected lost sales be, assuming there is no way that additional raw materials cannot be refilled during the day? (f) If the manager wants to keep the expected lost sales to be 15 or lower, then How many breads (equivalent to how many ‘Cheese Dog’s) must he store at the beginning of the day?
