Using Models on OM
A model is a set assumptions that characterize a decision situation and allow us to draw a conclusion about the real situation through some type of analysis Using EXCEL we can develop and use a variety of models to assist us in making key OM decisions .we will learn how to develop and use models and interpret the results in OM .

An assumption in BEPV is that the costs and revenues are occurring simultaneously .Not true .Time is not a critical variable is an assumption .

What is a Model
A model can come in many shapes, sizes, and styles. It is important to emphasize that a model is not the real world but merely a human construct to help us better understand real world systems. In general all models have an information input, an information processor, and an output of expected results. Key features in common with the development of any model is that: simplifying assumptions must be made; boundary conditions or initial conditions must be identified; the range of applicability of the model should be understood.

Quantitative decision tools


Costs and prices are constant over time not true Unit variable cost and unit prices do not vary .Not true quantity discounts are frequent. Facilities and capacity remains infinite Not true .As the output increases or decreases the firm may change technology requiring variable fixed costs . Models are extremely useful if properly applied .
