  • Operations Management 101: Introduction to Decision Analysis
    In this video, we discuss the very basics of quantitative decision analysis. After talking through a few example scenarios we work on a simple example by setting up a decision table. Using the table we learn to calculate the following: Maximax, Maximin, Equally Likely Criterion, Expected Monetary Value (EMV), and Expected Value of Perfect Information (EVPI).

    Thanks Brandon,
    I've been operating in business on gut instinct for "a lot of years" It's helpful to watch your video's while spending a half hour on the treadmill in the morning. The terminology and methodology expand my instincts exponentially. Keep up the good work and dedication to educating others.

    This was a great review for my Decision Analysis and Data Modeling finals. I'm an MBA student and I wish I found this sooner. Great video that is easy to understand. Pleas keep making them and would love to see more courses.

    Thank you for taking your time to help teach this material. I like how you first establish a positive mind set and not only explain how to do the problem but more importantly why the answer chosen is correct. I now have an automatic go to when I am studying for my stats class. Thanks again

    Mr. Foltz, sir your videos have been most helpful in learning, or understanding the probability and statistics for research course that I am currently working on for my Master's degree. I have shared your link and videos with my classmates. Many of them have the same feeling as I do about stats, we have aged ten fold in the past six weeks. I used to be a lot younger. Just kidding, however, I probably have gotten more gray hair in the past six weeks. I would like to suggest a video on Developing Decision Trees for a Quantitative Research Study. The methods used in your videos are both understandable, and positive, as in you help build the confidence level of the viewer, you talk to the viewer rather than over them. This is a welcome experience when learning a new subject, thank you.

    If the Geologist is the person who tells the company that there is a 20% chance of finding gold, how can you calculate EVPI before you hire the geologist? You mentioned that EVPI is the maximum a company should be willing to pay a geologist for perfect information.

    Company A want to purchase Company B for 120,000
    Company B estimates they can make profit P(80,000)=.2 P(100,000)=.3, P(120,000)=.1 P(140,000)= .4 if they run the business.
    Should company B sell its company to Company A? 'Yes' EMV is 114,000
    What is the EVPI?
    Can you please tell me what is EVPI? The answer sheet says, 8,000 ; however, i believe it is 6,000
    120,000 - 114,000 right?
    What am i doing wrong?
