Master of Business Administration- MBA Semester 2
MB 0044 - PRODUCTION AND OPERATION MANAGEMENT
Q1. Explain the four basic varieties of layouts for manufacturing facilities.
Q2. The major decision areas in supply chain management have both strategic and operational elements . Explain these decision areas in detail.
Q3. Business process is a total response that a business undertakes utilising the resources and delivering the outputs that create a value for the customer. Business process modelling refers to a set of activities undertaken to optimise the business process. Business process modelling can be categorised into two parts – Logical processing modelling and physical process modeling. Explain in detail of the two processes of modeling.
Q4. In the recent times, operations are considered from end to end of value chain which means the operations that start from sourcing of materials and other inputs to successful delivery of products to customers or end users. Implementation is the process of executing the planned operations. When planning and controlling functions are put together, we call it as Implementation of Operations. Tools for implemention are a set of specialised techniques which can be standardised for ease of implementation and control. Write a brief note on “implementation of operations” and tools for implementation.
Q5. It is possible to work according to the project plan only by careful monitoring of the project progress. There are various steps involved in monitoring and controlling a project from start to end. One of the steps is progress control of a project which can be achieved by completing certain steps. Explain the steps of progress control.
Q6. Value analysis is a methodology by which we try to minimise the cost and improve the revenue of a product or an operation. Value analysis looks at the manufacturing activities with a view to make the components simpler, processes faster, and the products better. Explain the process of value analysis.
MB0045 – Financial Management
Q1. Analyse the financial requirements of a FMCG company.
Q2. If you are an investor and are interested in finding out the value of an amount of Rs 10,000 to be received after 15 years, when the interest offered by bank is 9%, how would you calculate?
Q3. Explain how NPV leads to better investment decisions rather than other criteria.
Q4. List out the various risks that Tata Nano project has faced.
Q5. Discuss how a firm can maintain adequate working capital.
Q6. Annual consumption of raw materials is 40,000 units. Cost per unit is Rs 16 along with a carrying cost of 15% per annum. The cost of placing an order is given as Rs 480. Calculate the EOQ.
MB0047 –Management Information System
Q1. Explain DFD & Data Dictionary? Explain in detail how the information requirement is determined for an organization?
Q2. What is MIS? Define the characteristics of MIS? What are the basic Functions of MIS? Give some Disadvantage of MIS?
Q3. Explain Knowledge based system? Explain DSS and OLAP with example?
Q4. What are Value Chain Analysis & describe its significance in MIS? Explain what is meant by BPR? What is its significance? How Data warehousing & Data Mining is useful in terms of MIS?
Q5. Distinguish between closed decision making system & open decision making system? What is ‘What – if‘ analysis? Why is more time spend in problem analysis & problem definition as compared to the time spends on decision analysis?
Q6. What is ERP? Explain its existence before and its future after? What are the advantages & Disadvantages of ERP? What is Artificial Intelligence? How is it different from Neural Networks?
MB0048 –Operations Research
Q1. The basic characteristic feature of Operations Research is that it employs mathematical representations or models to analyse problems. Discuss the methodology of Operations Research.
Q2. Linear Programming is most widely used technique for large number of applications in business industry as well as in various other fields. Explain in brief the steps involved in linear programming problem formulation with an example.
Q3. Explain the steps involved in finding Initial Basic Feasible solution by the following methods: a. North West Corner Rule method b. Matrix minimum method c. Vogel’s approximation method
Q4. A Service store employs one cashier at its counter. 9 customers arrive on an average every 5 min while the cashier can serve 10 customers in 5 min. Assuming Poisson distribution for arrival rate and exponential distribution for service rate. Find a. Average number of customers in the system b. Average number of customers in the queue c. Average time a customer spends in a system d. Average time a customer waits before being served.
Q5. a. Explain the Monte Carlo Simulation. b. Explain in brief the advantages and limitations of Simulation.
Q6. a. A Game refers to a situation of conflict and competition in which two or more competitors are involved in decision making in anticipation of certain outcome. Define the following with respect to games: i. Pay-off matrix ii. Strategy iii. Two- person zero-sum game iv. Saddle point
b. An electric company is planning to develop and produce a new stabilized power supply system. The project can be described by the following activities. S. No Activity Predecessor (s) Time (days) A Market survey - 15 B Establish design - 5 C Electrical design B 20 D Test electrical design C 3 E Mechanical design B,A 2 F Review final design D,E 5 G Manufacture prototype F 6 H Test prototype G 10 I Schedule production H,A 3 Construct network diagram for the project.
MB 0049 - PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Q1. There cannot be a single ideal structure for all organisations as different organisations have different size, environment, resources, technologies, and goals. There are many different ways in which people can be organised to work on projects. Explain in brief the most common types of organisation structures.
Q2. Quality Control (QC) refers to a system of routine technical activities that assists in measuring and controlling the quality of the project as it is being developed. Write short notes on quality control.
Q3. Purchase cycle is a standard process that corporations and individuals progress through (in order) when purchasing a product or service. It is also known as the 'buying cycle' or 'purchase process'. Explain the elements of the purchase cycle of a project .
Q4. Write short notes on Earned Value Method (EVM)
Q5. What are the common features available in PM software packages?
Q6. A project should earn sufficient return on the investment. The very idea of promoting a project by an entrepreneur is to earn attractive returns on investment on the project. If there are many alternative projects, all of which, at first sight, appear to be more or less equal in profit earning capacity, the investor should make a comparative study of the return on the different alternative proposals before choosing one. Such financial analysis broadly falls under two categories. They are: 1. No discounted cash flow techniques 2. Discounted cash flow techniques
Explain the subdivisions within the above two categories.
