The Management Science Approach
Management science uses a scientific approach to
solving management problems.
It is used in a variety of organizations to solve many
different types of problems.
It encompasses a logical mathematical approach to
problem solving.
Management science, also known as operations
research, quantitative methods, etc., involves a
philosophy of problem solving in a logical manner.

Steps in the Management Science Process
Observation - Identification of a problem that exists (or may occur
soon) in a system or organization.
Definition of the Problem - problem must be clearly and
consistently defined, showing its boundaries and interactions with the
objectives of the organization.
Model Construction - Development of the functional mathematical
relationships that describe the decision variables, objective function
and constraints of the problem.
Model Solution - Models solved using management science
techniques.
Model Implementation - Actual use of the model or its solution.

Information and Data:
Business firm makes and sells a steel product
Product costs $5 to produce
Product sells for $20
Product requires 4 pounds of steel to make
Firm has 100 pounds of steel
Business Problem:
Determine the number of units to produce to make the
most profit, given the limited amount of steel available.
Example of Model Construction (1 of 3)
1-7 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Variables: X = # units to produce (decision variable)
Z = total profit (in $)
Model: Z = $20X - $5X (objective function)
4X = 100 lb of steel (resource constraint)
Parameters: $20, $5, 4 lbs, 100 lbs (known values)
Formal Specification of Model:
maximize Z = $20X - $5X
subject to 4X = 100
Example of Model Construction (2 of 3)
1-8 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Example of Model Construction (3 of 3)
Solve the constraint equation:
4x = 100
(4x)/4 = (100)/4
x = 25 units
Substitute this value into the profit function:
Z = $20x - $5x
= (20)(25) – (5)(25)
= $375
(Produce 25 units, to yield a profit of $375)

Break-Even Analysis (1 of 9)
■ Used to determine the number of units of a product to
sell or produce that will equate total revenue with total
cost.
■ The volume at which total revenue equals total cost is
called the break-even point.
■ Profit at break-even point is zero.

Model Components
Fixed Cost (cf) - costs that remain constant regardless of
number of units produced.
Variable Cost (cv) - unit production cost of product.
Volume (v) – the number of units produced or sold
Total variable cost (vcv) - function of volume (v) and
unit variable cost.

Model Components
Total Cost (TC) - total fixed cost plus total variable cost.
Profit (Z) - difference between total revenue vp (p = unit
price) and total cost, i.e.

Computing the Break-Even Point
The break-even point is that volume at which total
revenue equals total cost and profit is zero:

Break-Even Analysis (5 of 9)
Example: Western Clothing Company
Fixed Costs: cf = $10000
Variable Costs: cv = $8 per pair
Price : p = $23 per pair
The Break-Even Point is:
v = (10,000)/(23 -8)
= 666.7 pairs

Classification of Management Science Techniques
1-24 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Linear Mathematical Programming - clear objective;
restrictions on resources and requirements; parameters
known with certainty. (Chap 2-6, 9)
Probabilistic Techniques - results contain uncertainty.
(Chap 11-13)
Network Techniques - model often formulated as
diagram; deterministic or probabilistic. (Chap 7-8)
Other Techniques - variety of deterministic and
probabilistic methods for specific types of problems
including forecasting, inventory, simulation, multicriteria,
etc. (Chap 10, 14-16)
Characteristics of Modeling Techniques

Business Use of Management Science
1-26 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
A decision support system is a computer-based system that helps decision makers address complex problems that cut across different parts of an organization and operations.
Features of Decision Support Systems
Interactive
Use databases & management science models
Address “what if” questions
Perform sensitivity analysis
Examples include:
ERP – Enterprise Resource Planning
OLAP – Online Analytical Processing
Decision Support Systems (DSS)
