112. Richard Bowman, Purchasing Manager at Mid-West Medical

Center, is reviewing the annual vendor performance report.
Richard is searching for opportunities to reduce Mid-West's
inventory costs, and pauses to study a table summarizing the
delivery times (elapsed time from placing an order until the
material is received) for two suppliers of surgical dressings and
related materials.

113. Candace Maldonado, VP of Customer Services at Alamo Auto
Insurance, Inc., is reviewing the performance of the claims
processing division of her company. Her staff reports that the
time required to process claims is normally distributed with  =
14 days and  = 3 days. Even though Candace has received
several complaint letters from customers alleging lengthy delays
in claims processing, she knows that Alamo out-performs the
industry. (For the industry, processing time is normal with  =
25 days and  = 5 days.) Moreover, she knows that improving
(decreasing) claims processing time will reduce investment
interest earned by the company -- putting a downward pressure
on corporate profits and an upward pressure on premiums.
Discuss Candace's dilemma. How should she respond to the

complaining customers? Should she share her statistics with
other corporate managers?
