Description All case studies should be submitted in the form of a “Managerial ReportвЂк. A Managerial Report is usually a response to a senior manager or “executive boardвЂк which has raised an “issueвЂк that needs to be analyzed with accompanying recommendations. The senior manager or “boardвЂк will subsequently make a decision based upon the analyses. As a consequence, the Managerial Report should written in “third PersonвЂк format, provide a coherent flow of information concentrating on the technical “factsвЂк and void of “opinionsвЂк, and in a format and tenor to be easily understood by the decision maker(s)

The report format should include:
An “Executive OverviewвЂк: A succinct but comprehensible description of the overall problem
being addressed
An “Executive SummaryвЂк: A brief statement which contains the primary & secondary
conclusions and recommendations of the study
Analysis Section
Underlying assumptions of the model & analyses
Structured for easy validation/comprehension by subsequent readers
Summary graphs and tables with details referenced in order to the appendices
Sensitivity Analyses on assumptions/results
Conclusions/Recommendations Section
Summary of results considered important to the final decisions that need to be made
The recommended top and alternate (if applicable) recommendation(s)
Appendices
Detailed models outputs
Spread sheets
Data tables for all analyses (usually too detailed for containing in document body).

Case 2: Statement and Guidance
Case 2 is entitled “Production StrategyвЂк is found in Chapter 7, Case 2, in the text. The document should be submitted as MSWORD document as an attachment to the Assignments Module not later than midnight, November 5, 2017.

Case Overview:
A company manufactures exercise equipment primarily for physical therapists. It recently designed two universal weight machines for home exercises. After a trade show demonstration of the machines, a number of orders received at the show exceeded its manufacturing capabilities for the current production period. As a result, management decided to begin production of the two machines. The case study provides the time and costs for manufacturing the various subassemblies, the assembly processes, and shipping of the two models of exercise machines. It provides the number of manufacturing and production related activities available for next production period.
Students should analyze the production problem of the company, provide a report to the management presenting your findings and recommendations. Include, but do not limit your discussions to consider the three questions posed in the textвЂTMs discussion of the case study. Include a copy of your linear programming model and graphical solution in an appendix to your report.
You are also submitting your paper to Safe Assign (a built in plagiarism checker) to make sure all your sources have been cited properly. You can review your first submission and make corrections then submit for final grading by your instructor. 
Reminder: Students need to show all of their work and provide their own material. Keep your SafeAssign grade of your paper content to less than 25%.
