10
Descriptive Model
• Approximates how a real system works (or would work) given certain assumptions
• Does not give us the “right answer”
• Focus for Module 2
Decision Models -- Prof. Juran
11
Prescriptive Model
• Identifies the “right answer”• Focus of Module 1
Decision Models -- Prof. Juran
12
What is Optimization?
• A model with a “best” solution• Strict mathematical definition of
“optimal”• Usually unrealistic assumptions• Useful for managerial intuition
Decision Models -- Prof. Juran
13
Elements of an Optimization Model
• Formulation– Decision Variables– Objective– Constraints
• Solution – Algorithm or Heuristic
• Interpretation

Managerial Problem Definition
Ishani Mukherjee must decide how many to produce of two products.
Decision Models -- Prof. Juran

Managerial Problem Definition
• 2-piece Yellow Jacket• 4-piece Sachin Special
Yellow Jacket Sachin Special
Revenue ₹390 ₹442 Cost ₹273 ₹286 Profit ₹117 ₹156
Decision Models -- Prof. Juran

Formulation
a) Define the choices to be made by the manager (called decision variables).
b) Find a mathematical expression for the manager's goal (called the objective function).
c) Find expressions for the things that restrict the manager's range of choices (called constraints).

Objective Function
A mathematical expression of the manager’s goal in terms of the decision variables.
Yellow Jacket (X) Sachin Special (Y)
Revenue ₹390 ₹442 Cost ₹273 ₹286 Profit ₹117 ₹156

Constraints
Find expressions for the things that restrict the manager's range of choices, in terms of the decision variables.
