Orion Bus: Individual Case Guideline Version 12.0 Individual Case Valued at 10 Points
Directions: Prior to start work, an in-class case discussion. Post your solutions on Blackboard
-------------------------------------------------
Notes: 1. For the Orion Model, indicate the floor variable as High-floor. In other words, let 1 be high floor, and for Fuel, diesel is 1, i.e., if not a diesel, indicate with a zero. These are your two qualitative variables. 2. Confidence Level is 90%, therefore, level of significance is .10. 3. Orion wants all the model slopes to be statistically significant. 4. Round-off to two decimal places. 5. Note for the below Questions, Orion Bid is the same as the reference point price. 6. In regard to Question #1, if your model differs from optimum, you still can be correct on Qs 2-5 if you apply YOUR model correctly.
Questions 1-5
1. Identify your Orion model. Identify your intercept. Clearly indicate your independent variables and the slopes.
Y = ?
Intercept = -12883
Length= 1959.129
Cost= 0.812
LF/ HF = 8186.43
D/ ND = 10412.19
2. Find the Charlotte bid dated Feb. 19, 2002 for 15 low floor 30’ diesel buses. The winning bid was $273,658. And, Orion’s bid was $299,900. Applying your model, what would be the Orion bid per bus?
271,753.5

3. A particular city wants to buy seven 40-foot, high floor, diesel-fueled buses that Orion estimates to cost $235,816. What will be Orion’s bid per bus?
275,563.4

4. April 1, 2002, Orion did not win the City of Green Bay bid award. Orion’s bid was $249,500. In the event that the City of Green Bay put out a similar bid, what would be Orion’s bid price per bus? The 2002 bid was for 3 30’ LF Diesels. Orion’s cost is $232,105.
