This Excel assignment will demonstrate the transportation problem, which is concerned with finding the minimum cost of transporting a single commodity from a given number of sources (i.e., factories) to a given number of destinations (i.e., warehouses). Note that in this problem, the demand equals the supply. There are more advanced transportation problems that deal with the situation for when the demand does not equal the supply, which is called an unbalanced problem. In an unbalanced problem, you would have had to add a dummy source if demand is greater than supply OR add a dummy destination if supply is greater than demand. For this assignment, complete the following: Download and review Transportation Problem-fill in_1.pdf for step-by-step instructions. The pdf file below will walk you through each step in the assignment. Watch the video: Solving Transportation Problems in Excel_1_.mp4 (5:42). The video below helps to visually see the steps. I did not create this video and the sound is not good. It is a reference to help you visually follow the steps in the tutorial document (pdf file) that accompanies this assignment. Open a blank Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. You will need to input the data from the instructions document into your blank Excel file. You will need to use a Windows based computer (Mac computers will not be supported by the University). Save and Submit your Excel spreadsheet Note that in this problem, the Demand equals Supply. There are more advanced transportation problems that deal with the situation for when demand does not equal supply (called an ‘unbalanced’ problem). In an unbalanced problem, you would have had to add a dummy source if demand > supply OR add a dummy destination if supply > demand. https://learn-us-east-1-prod-fleet02-xythos.content.blackboardcdn.com/609adae01c5c3/548006?X-Blackboard-Expiration=1665360000000&X-Blackboard-Signature=VwgrH%2FKnG%2FZEe67%2F3iVzvkd%2BbbELd35lIFX5Pn5M0X8%3D&X-Blackboard-Client-Id=300545&response-cache-control=private%2C%20max-age%3D21600&response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%27Solving%2520Transportation%2520Problems%2520in%2520Excel%25281%2529.mp4&response-content-type=video%2Fmp4&X-Amz-Security-Token=IQoJb3JpZ2luX2VjEIP%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2FwEaCXVzLWVhc3QtMSJHMEUCIQDAF8OKbotn1utNGcDBSjc0JzaAE%2F1ZRPGGoQ5RXjCkMgIgRpJAvNjq4ypswaJ50yw2%2Fco8WvUqPNtkX8JPfYs4pzgqzQQITBACGgw2MzU1Njc5MjQxODMiDKX6yiHtBFeQbVKMwyqqBMRR%2F3ydV8MmQ%2BmGny1b%2FW0nMNtWGchMvc%2FoaWhGw6iTgyrSnr2qJJXO8Z2wxnB%2BlQtUmUMUHk1QWPhS9XAGWSLUhbTKIk7OlLzkYbIdgtDr%2Bsba%2BOVhsZqYrH1BLW%2FuFQjkR3VOvoZ4NkC%2BugqqjgFRTzH54LgL6Nt1pIMhU6jqyoYwUCBCSYNF59mzJvFM3VsTyF8yE53XAV%2B1r9cp6jFHhQwfK%2BFtvxKP459IH5GM1emtKTlh%2FjaWxPvNOO7sXnFV7qriLdIQo8FyMj%2BvJg5vAR5oalAhgIkj8N36D17A59AxrvVhtnSkQWdlxAdsozKH96YUUr%2FtZo%2B1WpUyDLFNqeJp%2FJPS%2BKLa5wsTDlHMrNMpm3wjACcd6I%2BJWdc9jCx0L8Ddp%2BDZ2EZBCwSb33eqYWhznWivfALoy7CW8YciOZVEoYYMEhinrQWCmH5tt87CuHNwQpr96hgEI9J%2BmQmbPIbihNg4An9yLpNXMoNfI1UIPi79TE0vNIS6iCtDUhqXU4wVRWB9Qat2xxCTi%2FhBsLzvMS5cPBNxcCQdHwK9KIBNk4pd%2BozdQp%2BMX9cbrx1MrDl4tji0DrPqCRI6tCAwvG966yues47mDufsbTXtzcPiA8TtYsVd4ve0up8a5JYO8eCUaqhu79krS9PjoZHU89OkmIHy8hNxLVqO85OMK2knO4NMCBkm4mfdppQadXPAzAsHndmWuG%2FLRvBUePt2N3jUoRRrJeuyMKuljJoGOqkBjZajZg9gLDGtvUKhCcmjMMaqlS2tdYnvY8JbSe40LIyV%2B2UfuI%2B0FqKoWmMKr828YUBNltgDaHkB5raezgj0UfrEEou2LUkpSxQ439A%2BRCm%2F1rdd6VU1QkoejNZGraB5Gpeee4nRDRTZnGv6ClJioYm1XNgdFFQxhqt%2Fkh7KNBjIHzCu3twnRL5becmcWDchekYIRekGl%2BXb1hbbj0BFj0qW9qyVl2upYw%3D%3D&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Date=20221009T180000Z&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Expires=21600&X-Amz-Credential=ASIAZH6WM4PLR37E3TXD%2F20221009%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Signature=60d1eb999c2e704727967abc9c27dafd5d2331acffce99a64c9b2bc0209e22fc

Video Case Assignment #4 After reading the Video Case Assignment (IBM-Madrid) and watching the YouTube clip, CHOOSE ONLY 2 QUESTIONS AND ANSWER THEM The city of Madrid is the capital of Spain and its largest city, with a population of about 3.5 million people, and an additional 2 million in the surrounding metro areas. Madrid is the third largest city in Europe after London and Paris. As tens of thousands of train commuters made their way to work on March 11, 2004, terrorists exploded ten bombs on four trains headed into central Madrid. The devices were pre-positioned on the trains and placed in sports bags and backpacks. They consisted of 22 pounds of an explosive used in commercial mining known as Goma-2 and were detonated by the alarms of attached cell phones that were set to coincide with the times at which the trains would be at the station. One hundred ninety-one people lost their lives and 1,800 were wounded in the attack. This was the worst Islamist terrorist attack in European history. The task confronting first responders was very challenging in terms of logistical, organizational, and emotional tolls. Emergency crews removed bodies from the scene as rapidly as possible, but there was no field triage or tracking system in place and this resulted in an influx of patients to area hospitals, with the least injured often arriving first. Some hospitals were overwhelmed while others had additional unused capacity. Additionally, even though patients were stabilized on the scene, on-scene responders did not have access to a cohesive distribution system to receive status updates on hospital availability. Fire and police did not know how many personnel to send to each site, and as a result, some sites had too many police, and other sites, did not have enough fire and medical personnel. The response appeared to be based on the nearness of personnel to the various sites. Telecommunications systems were overloaded and largely unserviceable, causing information dispersion difficulties. During the first 16 hours, more than 22,000 incoming calls were processed by the Madrid Emergency Service Center in connection with the attacks. Police, fire, and other emergency response systems could not communicate well with one another, or with the Emergency Service Center, which was also overwhelmed and had no system in place to visually track responses. ; 1. List some of the factors that complicated the efforts of emergency crews (primarily fire, police, and medical personnel) in responding to the Madrid attack. 2. What was the problem with the existing communication system? 3. Describe the new system that was put in place after the attacks. 4. Describe the business process of the new emergency response center. 5. What is the response time goal and what progress has been made?
