  1. We Merged...Now What?

    Earlier this month, your company, a running equipment designer and manufacturer called Runners Paradise, merged with a smaller clothing design company called ActiveLeak. Your company initiated the buyout because of the excellent design team at ActiveLeak and their brand recognition, specifically for their MP3-integrated running shorts. Runners Paradise has thirty-five employees and ActiveLeak has ten employees. At ActiveLeak, the owner, who often was too busy doing other tasks, handled the HRM roles. As a result, ActiveLeak has no strategic plan, and you are wondering if you should develop a strategic plan, given this change. Here are the things you have accomplished so far:

    • Reviewed compensation and adjusted salaries for the sake of fairness. Communicated this to all affected employees.

    • Developed job requirements for current and new jobs.

    • Had each old and new employee fill out a skills inventory Excel document, which has been merged into a database.

Questions:

1. Determine human resource needs.

2. Determine the recruiting strategy.

3. Select employees.

A small factory consists of a machining center and inspection station in series. Unfinished parts arrive to the factory with exponential interarrival times having a mean of 2 minutes. Processing times at the machine are uniform on the interval [0.65, 0.70] minute, and subsequent inspection times at the inspection station are uniform on the interval [0.75, 0.80]. Ninety percent of inspected parts are “good” and are sent to shipping; 10 percent of the parts are “bad” and are sent back to the machine for rework. Both queues are assumed to have infinite capacity.

        Let Yi be a random variable representing the number of parts produced during the ith hour. Generate 10000 Yis, and compute ten sample means and sample variances using 1000 Yis each, respectively. Comment on the convergence of Yito the steady-state distribution Y.

The longer Tommy stayed on this job, the more he hated it. He thought the boss was too demanding. He especially disliked being reprimanded for being late.

Tommy got two signatures, one on the letter and one on a note promising to pay Tommy $1000 in consideration for services rendered. The boss was not careless, but couldn't read the papers. What argument, if any, could the boss use to avoid paying on the (promissory) note he signed? Give full reasons for your answer
