Problem #2

PERT Analysis: The following represents a project with four activities. All times are in weeks.

According to the data in the above Table:

What is the critical path?

What is the minimum expected completion time for the project?

According to the above Table, there are four activities in the project. Assume the normal distribution is appropriate to use to determine the probability of finishing by a particular time. If you wished to find the probability of finishing the project in 20 weeks or fewer, it would be necessary to find the variance and then the standard deviation to be used with the normal distribution. What is the probability of completing this project in 20 weeks or fewer?

Description: In April 2020, the Toyota-backed startup Pony.ai has teamed up with the online Asian ecommerce site Yamibuy3 to delivery packages and groceries in Irvine, California due to Covid-19. Read the news story published by Bloomberg4 and visit the Pony.ai website5 to acquire background information. You may explore more information from other pieces of news and video clips. Now assumed that customers purchased groceries in the online website, they would like to use Pony.ai app for a home delivery. You are asked to develop diagrams to capture the main features of such autonomous delivery service. Remember, online shopping and checkout are not integral part of your application, but only autonomous delivery service (PonyPilot6 ). Tasks: Develop the following diagrams to capture the autonomous delivery service. You may make any assumptions as necessary since the PonyPilot app is not readily available to everyone (invitation only). 1. Use case diagram (focus on delivery service) 2. Sequence diagram (focus on delivery service) 3. ERD diagram to store necessary data (focus on delivery service)

Choose any country except the United States, and your native country (if different from the United States). Describe the culture of this country in detail. What are some key cultural aspects of which a U.S. expatriate on assignment in this country should be aware? What aspects of this country’s culture could cause culture shock for a U.S. expatriate? What advice would you give to someone who was preparing for a long-term assignment in this culture? Finally, would you want to spend an extended amount of time as an expatriate in this country? Why or why not? Support your assessment.

Murray, the longtime lab director in the R&D (research and development) department, has announced his retirement. Marianne, the head of R&D for three years, has received great advice from Murray on every topic she has asked him about. Murray is a modest man, but she suspects that he knows more about their department than the rest of the group put together. They meet in his office to talk about ways Murray can document his knowledge so that it doesn’t “walk out the door” with him when he retires. Murray shows Marianne dozens of binders and several file cabinet field with one of a kind documents that predate the use of personal computer and electronic file. He suggests that he spend the rest of his time labeling everything and putting together a list of what he has. Marianne has a different idea. She appreciates Murray’s interest in preserving the past, but she believes it is essential to capture his perspective on the new technologies,

new products, and new processes that have been implemented over the years. She wants to put together an ad hoc committee to work with Murray. she asks him to meet with her in two days to talk about the committee and what can be accomplished before Murray retires.

1. Why does Marianne want to preserve Murray’s perspective on the changes he has been part of?

2. How can Murray and the committee accomplish Marianne’s goals?
