Abstract: The case explores the economics of health screening of potential security guards for possible infections using pooled samples versus individual testing. The context admits an appropriate application of binomial probabilities. The case provides an opportunity to discuss administrative arrangements, infrastructure facilities and information tracking in both pooled and individual samples. ... More

Abstract: Discusses the models for determining economic order quantities when quantity discounts are given. The models with "all unit" discount and "incremental" discount are presented and economic order quantity for each case is determined. Illustrative examples for each case are provided to show the use of the model and the determination ... More

Abstract: This note defines what econometrics is. The differences between models and economic models are brought out. The six steps involved in econometric model building are (a) statement of theory of hypothesis, (b) specification of theoretical econometric model for testing theory, (c) estimation of the parameters of the model, (d) evaluation ...

Abstract: Financial costs and returns are converted into economic costs and benefits by using shadow pricing factors. This note describes the assumptions which form the basis of shadow pricing factors for different cost and revenue items. It also estimates these factors for some important items along with the economic values. ... More

Abstract: Introduces the functions of inventories and various costs relevant for inventory management. The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model with deterministic demand and lead-time is discussed and basic derivations of the model are presented. Sensitivity of cost to various parameters of the model is discussed. Finally, the EOQ model with back ... More

Abstract: Discusses the models for determining Economic Order Quantities (EOQs) for items in a multi?item situation with constraints. The derivation of EOQs for items under the constraint of average total investment in inventories is given. The EOQs for items where there is a constraint on total workload (i.e., number ... More

Abstract: Discusses the Economic Batch Quantity (EBQ) model with uniform, deterministic and finite production rate and demand. The EBQ, which minimizes the total annual cost comprising setup cost, and inventory holding cost is derived. The operation of EBQ system under non?zero constant lead time is discussed. Finally, a brief discussion ... More
