Chapter Objectives

The learning objectives for chapter OneCare:  
  • Introduce Burk IT Solutions (BITS), the company that is used as the basis for many of the examples throughout the text
  • Introduce basic database terminology
  • Describe database management systems (DBMSs)
  • Explain the advantages and disadvantages of database processing
  • Introduce Colonial Adventure Tours, the company that is used in a case that appears at the end of each chapter
  • Introduce Sports Physical Therapy, the company that is used in another case that appears at the end of each chapter
1: BITS Company Background LECTURE NOTES
  • Describe the BITS company
  • Use Figure 1-1 to illustrate the problems associated with using spreadsheets to maintain this data
    • Redundancy
    • Difficulty accessing related data
    • Limited security features
    • Multiple updates
    • Size limitations
  • Define redundancy
    • Duplication of data or the storing of the same data in more than one place
  • Use the embedded Q & A on page 2 to discuss the problems redundancy causes
    • Wastes space
    • Makes changes more cumbersome
    • Can lead to inconsistencies
  • Use Figure 1-2 to introduce the type of data that BITS must be able to store and retrieve
    • Point out that the amounts in the Total column in Figure 1-2 are not stored in the database but are calculated
FIGURES: 1-1, 1-2 TEACHER TIPS Students will work with BITS in every chapter. They should become familiar with this fictitious company and the type of data it needs to maintain. The same type of data needs to be stored by other consulting companies or service providers. If you want to personalize the database, you have students add their name as a customer or you can have them rename the database using their own name rather than BITS. CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES
  1. Group Activities: Place students in groups and distribute order forms from local companies and/or retail stores. Ask the groups to determine the data the company must store and the data that is calculated.
  2. Class Discussion: Ask students what other types of data a service providers such as BITSwould need to maintain.
  3. Critical Thinking: BITS needs to maintain data on the consultants and what each one specializes in. Should BITS store this data in a spreadsheet? Why or why not?
4: Database Solution LECTURE NOTES
  • Define entity
    • Person, place, object, event, or idea for which you want to store and process data
  • Define attribute
    • Characteristic or property of an entity
    • Also called a field or column in many database systems
  • Use Figure 1-3 to point out the Consultant and Client entity and the attributes for each entity
  • Define relationship
    • An association between entities
  • Define one-to-many relationship
    • Each rep is associated with many customers, but each customer is associated with only one rep
  • Use Figure 1-4 to explain the one-to-many relationship between consultants and clients
  • Define data file
    • A file used to store data, such as a spreadsheet or word-processed document
  • Define database
    • A structure that can store information about multiple types of entities, the attributes of those entities, and the relationships among the entities
  • Point out the differences between a data file and a database
  • Use Figure 1-5 to review the tables (entities) that make up the BITS database
    • Consultant, Client, Tasks, OrderLine, Work Orders
  • Use Figure 1-6 to illustrate the problems with storing orders in the alternative table structure
  • Review the embedded Q & As on pages 8 through 9
  • Define entity-relationship (E-R)diagram
    • A visual way to represent a database
  • Use Figure 1-7 to illustrate an E-R diagram and review the entities, attributes, and relationships in the BITS database
FIGURES: 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 1-6, 1-7 TEACHER TIPS Database concepts such as entity, attribute, and relationship are often difficult for students to grasp. Use examples that students can relate to, for example, a school database or a database maintained by the state department of public safety (driver’s licenses). A good analogy to use is an employment application form. The items that we complete on the form are attributes, and the completed application (entity example) describes the person who completed it. Figure 1-5 lists the five tables that make up the BITS database. Each table represents an entity. The data in the tables are related through common fields. It is these relationships that allow the user to access data from more than one table and produce reports, queries, and forms. Encourage students to use the embedded Q & As to test their understanding of the concepts as well as the design of the BITS database.

chapter 19 Linear Programming Teaching Notes The main goal of this supplement is to provide students with an overview of the types of problems that have been solved using linear programming (LP). In the process of learning the different types of problems that can be solved with LP, students also must develop a very basic understanding of the assumptions and special features of LP problems of management test bank. Students also should learn the basics of developing and formulating linear programming models for simple problems, solve two-variable linear programming problems by the graphical procedure, and interpret the resulting outcome. In the process of solving these graphical problems, we must stress the role and importance of extreme points in obtaining an optimal solution. Improvements in computer hardware and software technology and the popularity of the software package Microsoft Excel make the use of computers in solving linear programming problems accessible to many users. Therefore, a main goal of the chapter should be to allow students to solve linear programming problems using Excel. More importantly, we need to ensure that students are able to interpret the results obtained from Excel or any another computer software package. Answers to Discussion and Review Questions
  1. Linear programming is well-suited to constrained optimization problems that satisfy the following assumptions:
  2. Linearity: The impact of decision variables is linear in constraints and the objective function.
  3. Divisibility: Noninteger values of decision variables are acceptable.
  4. Certainty: Values of parameters are known and constant.
  5. Nonnegativity: Negative values of decision variables are unacceptable.
  6. The “area of feasibility,” or feasible solution space is the set of all combinations of values of the decision variables that satisfy all constraints. Hence, this area is determined by the constraints.
  7. Redundant constraints do not affect the feasible region for a linear programming problem. Therefore, they can be dropped from a linear programming problem without affecting the feasible solution space or the optimal solution.
  8. An iso-cost line represents the set of all possible combinations of two input decision variables that result in a given cost. Likewise, an iso-profit line represents all of the possible combinations of two output variables that results in a given profit.
  9. Sliding an objective function line towards the origin represents a decrease in its value (i.e., lower cost, profit, etc.). Sliding an objective function line away from the origin represents an increase in its value.
  10. a. Basic variable: In a linear programming solution, it is a variable not equal to zero.
  11. Shadow price: It is the change in the value of the objective function for a one-unit change in the right-hand-side value of a constraint.
  12. Range of feasibility: The range of values for the right-hand-side value of a constraint over which the shadow price remains the same.
  13. Range of optimality: The range of values over which the solution quantities of all the decision variables remain the same.
Solution to Problems
  1. a. Graph the constraints and the objective function:
  Material constraint: 6x1 4x2 ≤ 48 Replace the inequality sign with an equal sign: 6x1 4x2 = 48 Set x1 = 0 and solve for x2: 6(0) 4x2 = 48 4x2 = 48 x2 = 12 One point on the line is (0, 12). Set x2 = 0 and solve for x1: 6x1 4(0) = 48 6x1 = 48 x1 = 8 A second point on the line is (8,0).   Labor constraint: 4x1 8x2 ≤ 80 Replace the inequality sign with an equal sign: 4x1 8x2 = 80 Set x1 = 0 and solve for x2: 4(0) 8x2 = 80 8x2 = 80 x2 = 10 One point on the line is (0, 10). Set x2 = 0 and solve for x1: 4x1 8(0) = 80 4x1 = 80 x1 = 20 A second point on the line is (20, 0).   Objective function: Let 4x1 3x2 = 24. Set x1 = 0 and solve for x2: 4(0) 3x2 = 24 3x2 = 24 x2 = 8 One point on the line is (0, 8). Set x2 = 0 and solve for x1: 4x1 3(0) = 24 4x1 = 24 x1 = 6 A second point on the line is (6, 0).   The graph and the feasible solution space (shaded) are shown below:
