However, shareholders' request that the management build the exclusive clubhouse golf course (the original exclusive clubhouse model).

During your modelling process, you confirmed that within the current constraints it is not viable to build the shareholders' demanded exclusive clubhouse golf course. You are required to propose three options for the exclusive clubhouse model. Analysis and discuss the four feasible models (the standard and the three options of the exclusive clubhouse). You then make a recommendation with justification to the management the proposed model.

1. Identify the decision variables - the unknown values that the model seeks to determine.

2. Identify the objective function - the quantity to be minimised or maximised.

3. Identify all appropriate constraints - limitations, requirements, or other restrictions that are imposed on any solution, either from practical or technological considerations or by management policy.

4. Write the objective function and constraints as mathematical expressions.

Part 2: Spreadsheet Model Implementation

3. Three (3) options of the exclusive clubhouse model. Clearly state what have changed in each of the option from the original exclusive clubhouse model.

Part 3: Business Report & Communication

In the business report, first provide a description of the implementation of your five decision models (the management's standard clubhouse, the original shareholders' exclusive clubhouse and the three options for the exclusive clubhouse.

Provide an analysis of the four feasible models (the standard and the three options of the exclusive clubhouse) on their holes configuration, total enjoyment index, total land used and the total construction cost. Discuss the implication on four feasible models whether they meet shareholders' original exclusive clubhouse requirement.

Make a recommendation to Oscar your proposal model. In doing so you can rank your four feasible models based on international golfing requirement and whether meeting shareholders' requirement. Justify your recommendation.

Note: It is possible the standard clubhouse model be your recommended model although it does not meet shareholders requirement, but it may has the best international golfing requirement in terms of golfer enjoyment index, holes configuration and it is the cheapest to construct.

Note: Construction costs are estimates only, as this development is rare in rural communities and reliable estimates are not available. Further work will be required if the board accepts the initial proposal. The case study is prepared based on the assumption that there is no solution for the original shareholders exclusive clubhouse golf course. When you make change to options 1, 2 and 3, the changes MUST be better than the standard clubhouse (management plan). For example, Option 1, when you reduce the size of the exclusive clubhouse, it should be between 2 and 4 hectares. Number of golfing holes MUST be INTEGER.
