Time : 3 Hours Marks : 70
Instructions : 1) Answer any 5 questions.
2) All questions carry equal marks.
3) Use of simple calculator is allowed, not scientific calculator.
1. What is simulation techniques ? Why simulation is used ? Describe its role in
operation management.
2. Write short notes any two of the following :
a) Quality Management
b) Goal Programming
c) Supply chain management
d) Project scheduling.
3. What is the concept of ERP system ? How it is applying in operation management ?
4. “IT (Information Technology) is a competitive advantage in operation
management” – Discuss it with example.
5. Solve the L.P.P. problem using simplex method
Maximise Z = 107x1 + x2 + 2x3
 subject to the constraints
 14x1
 + x2 – 6x3 + 3x4 = 7
 16 x1 + 2
1
x2 – 6x3 ≤ 5
 3x1
 – x2
 – x3 ≤ 0
 x1, x2, x3, x4 ≥ 0.
6. What is modeling technique ? What is importance of understanding data before
modeling in operation management ?
7. Determine a sequence for the five (5) jobs that will minimise the elapsed ‘T’
(Time) from the following :
We have five jobs, each of which must go through the machines A, B, C in the
order ABC. The processing times are
Job A B C
1 45 8
2 9 6 10
3 82 6
4 63 2
5 5 4 11
8. What is concept of decision trees ? What is its application in operation management
?
