DECISION TREE – EXAMPLE 3
A glass factory that specializes in crystal is developing
a substantial backlog and for this the firm’s
management is considering 3 courses of action.
To arrange subcontract (S1)
To begin overtime production (S2)
To construct new facilities (S3)
The correct choice depends largely upon the future
demand, which may be low, medium or high.
By consensus, management ranks the respective
probabilities as 0.10, 0.50 and 0.40. A cost analysis
reveals the effect upon the profits as shown below;
