OM Test - 2

The document outlines various operational management tasks including job sequencing based on different priority rules, minimizing total elapsed time for job processing through two machines, projecting sales trends, evaluating plant locations based on costs, determining initial feasible distribution for factories and warehouses, calculating incentive bonuses for production, and assessing a machine shop's layout for potential improvements. Each task presents specific data and requires analytical approaches to derive optimal solutions. The document serves as a test paper for assessing knowledge in operations management principles.
