Tommy Baker is an account representative from the United States for an automotive parts supplier and is meeting with a client te

am in Japan. This is Tommy's first trip to Japan, and unfortunately, he wasn't able to review any information about "doing business in Japan" before he left the States. His first meeting with representatives from the prospective client's firm is a dinner, and he is immediately surprised at the formality of the event. All of his counterparts are dressed very formally, and no one is addressing him by his first name but is referring to him as Mr. Baker. In addition, the members of the client team seem to be waiting on their supervisor to make the first move, and Tommy is beginning to realize that age and seniority are very important to the team members. Tommy is
growing a little concerned that he may not be successful in business since he feels like a fish out of water. Which environmental force has the sales representative encountered?
A. Sociocultural
B. Economic
C. Technological
D. Competitive
Business

Social culture represents lifestyles, values, and customs that define a society. Its aspects include education, language, religion, values, aesthetics, and attitudes.

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Scenario D.1

Jerry Allison Plumbing Supplies:

Time between production runs = 2.25 days.

Explanation:

With EOQ = 12,000 and working days of 300 per annum

The company can produce 40 units (12,000/300) per day, producing on all the days.

But since the production rate is 90 units per day for the economic production lot size, this can be produced in 133 days (12,000/90).  This leaves 167 days as free of production.

Therefore, the company can produce every 2.25 days (90/40), this will give 133 days of production (300/2.25).  The time between production runs is therefore 2.25 days.  This can be converted into hours, and stated as: the next production run starts after every 54 hours.
