“…QA simplifies the reality in the effort to provide hard, objective, numeric data. According to [4], quantitative analyses are very essential in managerial decision-making for efficient and effective use of available resources for the growth and development of an organisation. Quantitative analysis is a process of practical problem solving based on scientific rationality.…”

“…Another use of network analysis is in the field of transportation and logistics, where the components stand for the center and the dependencies are figuratively temporal or spatial. Network analysis techniques are focused on critical path optimizing or calculating between the elements [4]. These techniques are related to the notion of a network diagram, which is a perspective of the project as a diagram which introduces many links between the project activities.…”

This paper is to help view the trend in quantitative analysis as a primary function that involves decision making at every level in the organisation. The study involved the identification of recent trends in quantitative analysis, quantitative analysis as a primary function and its impact on decision making in the organisation. Quantitative analysis is an effective tool for statistical methods, e.g. big data analysis, machine learning, network analysis, operational analysis, etc. These analysis aids decision that is made within the confines of the organisation and its environment. The times are changing with a high rate of varieties in quantitative analytical trends. It has become imperative to follow these trends for enhanced decision making in today's contemporary organisation.

The purpose of this paper was to examine the role of quantitative analysis in production planning decisions. This draws from the observed imperatives of quantitative analysis in business decisions and its capacity for predictability and enhanced decision making given the increasingly complex nature of the business environment. The paper therefore addressed the historical evolution of quantitative technique as an efficient and effective decision-making tool. The content of the paper addressed commonly applied quantitative technique in manufacturing firms today which is, linear programming and its subsequent impact on production planning decisions. The results based on a congruence of views revealed that the "best-fit" application of quantitative analysis models and tools can untangle the complexities of production and planning decision making process in order to achieve the organizational goal. This is, as literature also showed that there is obviously no consensus or integrated model that is capable of solving all managerial problem, different models such as the linear programming model have however been developed to cater for different problems as they arise. The workability or suitability of quantitative analysis is actually premised on its appropriate application. The paper recommends the application of quantitative analysis using linear programming in solving various resource allocation related issues in the primary production planning function of manufacturing firms.

The purpose of this research is to design a product to transform solar energy to electric energy that can be used to charge the battery of phones. Method used in this study is to design chargers that can be used anywhere is ulrich method. This method consists of some steps such as planning, developing a concept stage, planning system-level, detailed design, experiment, and improvement. The results are the charging process on a smartphone with a capacity of 1810 mAh battery is fully charged within 1 hour and 23 minutes. The output generated by the tool is 0.8 ampere and 5 volts. The price is below the maximum target specification that is worth 150,000. The conclusion of this research is the concept of designing universal smartphone case with solar powered chargers requires the stages of elimination and filtering to produce a solar smartphone case that is made of brecket also using a solar powered converter and power transport mode such as USB female port. The impact of this charger is the product can be used by people that likes to go to nature.
