Problem 9-11

Assume that Product Z is made of two units of A and three units of B. A is made of three units of C and four of D. D is made of two units of E

     Lead times for purchase or fabrication of each unit to final assembly are: Z takes two weeks; A, B, C, and D take one week each; and E takes three weeks.

     Sixty eight units of Product Z are required in Period 10. (Assume that there is currently no inventory on hand of any of these items.)

b. Develop an MRP planning schedule showing gross and net requirements and order release and order receipt dates. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.)

Problem 9-17

Each unit of A is composed of one unit of B, two units of C, and one unit of D. C is composed of two units of D and three units of E. Items A, C, D, and E have on-hand inventories of 25, 20, 40, and 40 units, respectively. Item B has a scheduled receipt of 15 units in Period 1, and C has a scheduled receipt of 50 units in Period 1. Lot-for-lot (L4L) is used for Items A and B. Item C requires a minimum lot size of 60 units. D and E are required to be purchased in multiples of 110 and 60, respectively. Lead times are one period for Items A, B, and C, and two periods for Items D and E. The gross requirements for A are 40 in Period 2, 30 in Period 5, and 45 in Period 8.

Find the planned order releases for all items. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.)

Discuss how you will use these “deeper” views in developing an expanded business model perspective for a firm?

For this paper, I want you to put yourself in the position of the Vice President of a particular group (e.g., the VP of HIT Operations, the Department Head of a particular medical unit, the VP of IT). What is your leadership style of the future? How will you grow as a leader? Use your Leadership Journals to help with this. A key point to understand is that this paper complements the HIT Project Proposal. This paper will detail your approach to HIT leadership with a specific action plan to implement that HIT leadership approach. It is critical that you focus on HIT as you write the paper because, though some leadership and management principles are universal, the industry one works in comes with unique considerations.

Please do not underestimate the value of this assignment. Becoming a good leader means understanding yourself and being intentional about your growth. You may very well find yourself referencing this work for years to come as you grow and mature as an HIT leader.

Suppose that a parking lot replaces the human server who receives payment, with one automated machine that reads the credit-card and receives payments automatically. Assume that customer arrival rates and average service time remain the same. How will waiting time in the queue for payment be affected? Increase, Decrease, Remain the Same? Briefly explain your reasoning.

1. Regarding the CSR pyramid:
   1. What are the levels of the pyramid?
   2. What level (or levels) is the most important for ordinary services such as restaurants? Why?
   3. Provide an example of a service that supports your assertion in part B).

Effective media relations are particularly important during a crisis or an emergency.

   3. Assume you were recruited by a high-tech company as a local manager in South Texas. After a few months in the job, you discover that several transactions with buyers involved bribery (some buyers paid higher prices but those payments are significantly lower in company records, reason why you suspect that part of the payments were bribes that benefited the executives that were in charge of the transactions).
   4. As new executive at a local level, would you continue such transactions, that is, continue using bribery (noting that you would now become part of the beneficiaries of the existing bribery)?
   5. What would you really do?

The Employee Component dominated various studies on organizational behavior. Of note are these important theories that affect motivation:

• Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
• Herzberg’s Motivator-Hygiene Theory
• McClelland’s Learned Needs Theory
• McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y
• Adam’s Equity Theory
• Vroom’s Expectancy Theory
• Skinner’s Reinforcement Theory

Select 3 theories and explain how they have increased our understanding of motivation. Compare and contrast their influences on human motivation in the contemporary work setting, Then, choose one theory that best applies to your own personal and developmental journey.
