Orion Controls (B)

Avion is interested in a new valve to manage the highly volatile phenol in their production. Avion and Orion strike to try an offer for Orion to produce these valves. There is time, engineering and software limitations that make a risky undertaking the valve redesign project.

Avion is interested in a new valve to manage the highly volatile phenol in their production. Avion and Orion strike to try an offer for Orion to produce these valves. There is time, engineering and software limitations that make a risky undertaking the valve redesign project. The case A (UVA-QA-0602) consists of a basic decision tree as an introductory case was used in analysis and decision-making in the core material for an exam. The A case is a rewrite of two previous cases (QA-0480 and QS-0481). In those cases, the key issues surrounding the planning of the projects, which are planning to insights about the first. Here the design is fixed and the problems are less computationally intensive and interesting. In the case there are two options: a look at the students and usually they are not. B The housing consists of a rapid succession of changes in the situation, the decision to a completely different structure and requirement for simulation models (or some other technique to avoid the introduction of continuous uncertainty) leads. This case also has a wonderful real option in the problem to an entire class can be embedded built. Since the estimate is continuously select a problem is found, one of the estimated optimal power level at which it breaks the software.
