Describe how EMV might be used to analyze a capacity decision
What will be an ideal response?
The EMV for each capacity decision (perhaps large, medium, and small plants) can be evaluated for unknown costs/revenue/other conditions. Each possible scenario (perhaps low, medium, and high demand) is given a payoff value and a probability. The weighted results of these various states of nature sum to the EMV for each capacity decision. An operations manager can then choose the highest EMV to maximize profit or the lowest EMV to minimize costs.
