R(x)=FC+VC(x)+PBT  PAT=PBT-CT  CT=PBTxCTR/100  PBT=PAT/(1-CTR)

Purchasingcycle:Requisition (type and number of items needed)  Value Analysis (lowest cost way to satisfy the request) Supplier Selection (prices, delivery times, quality, etc.) Order Placement (formal purchase order) Order Monitoring (scheduling)  Order Delivery (transportation, quality control, payment)

Production planningRouting (movement of mechanical part or other piece of work from one operation to the next)Loading (how long it takes to perform a particular operation) Scheduling (when an operation is to be performed at a machine) Dispatching (preparing and issuing of work orders) Follow-up (keeping track of work completed) Corrective Action (scheduling overtime, shifting work to other machines, etc.) Re-planning (in response to changing market conditions, manufacturing methods, labour force, etc.)

Inventory systems: periodic 1– ideal, automatic system, frame contact with the supplier, abnormal situations:overstocking or stock out. Periodic 2 –stock taking is needed before the order, stock out sit. Perpetual–continuous (perpetual) stock-taking is needed, stock-out In lead time

Pricing:Comparison: the price of a product allows the buyer to estimate its value, or worth, relative to other products. Stimulation: price acts as a signal which tells producers whether they should produce more goods, and consumers whether they should buy more goods. Rationing: who purchases each particular good is determined by the price of good, the income of the buyer,

and expected utility of the purchase.

Mark up: buying price/1-markup=price Break even: FC/Price-VC=units top break even. Backward: Price-VC=contribution margin-FC=profit Skimming: high quality, the newest in the market,price elasticity is low, difficult to copy the product, so the competitors can enter just later on, conusmers are snob, Price skimming involves setting a high price before other competitors come into the market. (Competitors would like to enter the market because of the high profit, but could not due to technological advantage, legal protection, e.g. patent, high investment needs, etc.). Penetration:price elasticity is high, low price high demand, easy to copy, no imagination in consumer that low price means low quality, The aim of penetration pricing is usually to increase market share of a product and to discourage competitor to enter the market (competitors do not want to enter the market because of the low profit).
