Feasible region with optimal production plan

๐Ÿญ Product Mix Optimizer

How many of each computer to build under labour and demand limits, plus an 8-model plan and a 6-month production schedule.

Optimum: 560 Basic + 1,200 XP = $199,600; one more assembly hour is worth $16

EMV sensitivity to demand probability

๐ŸŽฒ Decision Lab

A developer picks a project size before demand is known. Five decision rules, the value of a market forecast, and risk aversion.

EMV picks Medium ($434.75K); the forecast is worth $120.25K; a risk-averse owner picks Small
