Represent the decision making involved in the operation of the
following wash-machine by means of a decision table:
The machine waits for the start switch to be pressed. After the user
presses the start switch, the machine fills the wash tub with either hot
or cold water depending upon the setting of the HotWash switch. The
water filling continues until the high level is sensed. The machine starts
the agitation motor and continues agitating the wash tub until either the
preset timer expires or the user presses the stop switch. After the
agitation stops, the machine waits for the user to press the
startDrying switch. After the user presses the startDrying switch,
the machine starts the hot air blower and continues blowing hot air into
the drying chamber until either the user presses the stop switch or the
preset timer expires.

Read the case study below:

Shane is a 12-year-old 7th grader at Willow Creek Middle School. He received strong grades until 4th grade. He is currently failing 5 of his 6 classes. The only class he is not failing is PE. His teachers report that Shane does not pay attention and have stated that he “frequently appears preoccupied.” Shane’s mom is a single parent and Shane does not have any contact with his dad. There are reports that Shane’s father had “mental problems” before he abandoned his family two years ago. In addition, before the father left the family it is suspected that Shane (and his siblings) witnessed frequent violent domestic battles. On at least one occasion these fights resulted in his mother’s hospitalization. Ms. Jenkins has three other children: John a 17-year-old boy, Matt a 10-year-old boy and Jennifer an 8-year-old girl. Matt and Jennifer are doing okay in school, but John is in serious trouble due to truancy and substance abuse. Both Shane and John have frequent arguments with their mother, each other, and with their siblings. Shane has a group of friends who he spends most evenings with. His mother has not been able to impose a curfew.

JAVA programming- please respond to all prompts as apart of one java project. All information has been provided.

Part C

Create two more classes, TextBook and Novel, which inherit from Book. A TextBook has a String subject, and a Novel has a String genre.

Override equals in both these classes. A TextBook can be equal to another TextBook with the same price, description, author, and subject, or to a Novel if the price, description, and author are the same and the genre of the Novel is the same as the subject of the textbook. The same goes for the Novel class.  

Part D

Create a class ItemStorage which contains an array of inventory items as an instance variable. It should start out empty but with room for at least 10 items. Keep an instance variable like firstEmptyInstance which holds the number of the first empty location in the array (these should NOT be accessible directly from outside classes, but you may find it easier to use protected for the sake of your subclasses).

Add a method add(newitem) to add InventoryItems to the list. If the item it is adding is equal (think about this) to an item already in the list, instead of taking up another spot in the array, increase the howmany number for the item already there (so if the one in the array has 3 and the one I am adding has 2, we end up with 5), otherwise add it to the array in the first empty spot as usual. If we have added successfully, return true. If the item is new to the list and the array is full, return false.

The toString method should return a String that lists all the items that are in the list, numbered from 1, including how many of each there are.

Add a method viewAll that calls view for each of the items in the list.

Create a class Cart which inherits from ItemStorage

Add a method totalPrice which should return the current total price of all elements in the cart, taking in to account how many of each there are (so if there is an item with price $3 and there are 4 of them, they add $12 to the total price.

The toString should look like the one for ItemStorage, but add a total price at the bottom.

Create a Class Warehouse which inherits from ItemStorage.

Add a method buy(int index) (Assume a human started counting at 1, and adjust accordingly.)

• If index is not a valid, occupied index in the list, return null.
• If it is valid and there is more than one of that item in stock, decrease the number in stock, and return a copy of the item.
• If there is only one left, before returning it, remove it entirely from the list by first replacing it by the last item in the list, and then moving the first empty index variable up by one, and then return the item. (so, if the cart formerly contained items (A, B, C, D, E) and we removed the last C, it would now contain (A, B, E, D), and the first empty index would become 4 instead of 5, while we return C.)  

[Do not remove items by looping through and moving everything else up, so that ABCDE with C removed becomes ABDE, notice how much more inefficient this is. It is only worth doing in an array if we care about the order.]

Part E

In a main, create a Warehouse and fill it with various Books, MusicCD's, and other items for sale. Make sure there are multiples of some items in the warehouse. (Make items up in your code, don't read them in from a user). Also create a Cart.

In a loop, repeatedly show the Warehouse and ask the user whether to 1) buy a new item, 2) view cart, 3) preview items 4) check out. If they choose to buy a new item, ask for the number of the item, buy that item from the warehouse, and add the chosen item to the cart. If they choose to view cart, print the cart. If they choose to preview items, use viewAll() from the Cart class to view all items in the cart. If they choose to check out, show the total cost again and make them confirm that they want to buy and if they do, print a message saying their credit card was charged, if not just say goodbye, then end the program.

(hint: The main class shouldn't even need to be aware that there are arrays in the Cart and Warehouse classes. Classes other than main shouldn't talk to the user for this program. As always, you may add extra methods to any class to help you break down tasks or to make coding easier. )

Piderit (2000) believes that the definition of the term resistance must incorporate a much broader scope. She states that "a review of past empirical research reveals three different emphases in conceptualizations of resistance: as a cognitive state, as an emotional state, and as a behavior" (p. 784). The notion that employee resistance can be overcome cognitively suggests that negative thoughts or beliefs about the change exist. Piderit sites, "Watson (1982) who suggests that what is often labeled as resistance is, in fact, only reluctance. Armenakis, Harris, and Mossholder (1993) define resistance in behavioral terms but suggest that another state precedes it: is a cognitive state they call (un)-readiness" (2000, p. 785). Others attempt to define employee resistance based on the emotional factors exhibited as a result of organizational change. From their early study, Coch and French (1948) acknowledged aggression and frustration in employees as the emotional factors that caused undesirable behaviors and resistance to change. Argyris and Schon (1974, 1978) noted that resistance to change is a defense mechanism caused by frustration and anxiety (Piderit, 2000). The final aspect of Piderit's conceptualization focuses on individual behavior in an attempt to define employee resistance to change. She cites Brower and Abolafia (1995) who define resistance as a particular kind of action or inaction. Ashforth and Mael (1998) define resistance as intentional acts of commission (defiance) or omission. Shapiro, Lweicki, and Devine (1995) suggest that willingness to deceive authorities constitutes resistance to change (2000). Piderit (2000) claims that: although these conceptualizations of overlap somewhat, they diverge in important ways. Finding a way to bring together these varying emphases should deepen our understanding of how employees respond to proposed organizational changes. Each of these three conceptualizations of resistance - as a behavior, an emotion, or a belief - has merit and represents an important part of our experience of response to change. Thus, any definition focusing on one view at the expense of the others seems incomplete (p. 785). According to Dent & Goldberg (1999), individuals aren't really resisting the change, but rather they may be resisting the loss of status, loss of pay, or loss of comfort. They claim that, "it is time that we dispense with the phrase resistance to change and find a more useful and appropriate models for describing what the phrase has come to mean - employees are not wholeheartedly embracing a change that management wants to implement" (p. 26). Taken from : Resistance to Change

IN YOUR OWN WORDS: What is your understanding of these three types of resistance (use your own words)? Give an example of each type.

Tom Emory and Jim Morris strolled back to their plant from the administrative offices of Ferguson & Son Manufacturing Company. Tom is manager of the machine shop in the company’s factory; Jim is manager of the equipment maintenance department.

The men had just attended the monthly performance evaluation meeting for plant department heads. These meetings had been held on the third Tuesday of each month since Robert Ferguson, Jr., the president’s son, had become plant manager a year earlier.

As they were walking, Tom Emory spoke: “Boy, I hate those meetings! I never know whether my department’s accounting reports will show good or bad performance. I’m beginning to expect Page 435the worst. If the accountants say I saved the company a dollar, I’m called ‘Sir,’ but if I spend even a little too much—boy, do I get in trouble. I don’t know if I can hold on until I retire.”

Tom had just been given the worst evaluation he had ever received in his long career with Ferguson & Son. He was the most respected of the experienced machinists in the company. He had been with Ferguson & Son for many years and was promoted to supervisor of the machine shop when the company expanded and moved to its present location. The president (Robert Ferguson, Sr.) had often stated that the company’s success was due to the high-quality work of machinists like Tom. As supervisor, Tom stressed the importance of craftsmanship and told his workers that he wanted no sloppy work coming from his department.

When Robert Ferguson, Jr., became the plant manager, he directed that monthly performance comparisons be made between actual and budgeted costs for each department. The departmental budgets were intended to encourage the supervisors to reduce inefficiencies and to seek cost reduction opportunities. The company controller was instructed to have his staff “tighten” the budget slightly whenever a department attained its budget in a given month; this was done to reinforce the plant manager’s desire to reduce costs. The young plant manager often stressed the importance of continued progress toward attaining the budget; he also made it known that he kept a file of these performance reports for future reference when he succeeded his father.

Tom Emory’s conversation with Jim Morris continued as follows:

1. Emory:I really don’t understand. We’ve worked so hard to meet the budget, and the minute we do so they tighten it on us. We can’t work any faster and still maintain quality. I think my men are ready to quit trying. Besides, those reports don’t tell the whole story. We always seem to be interrupting the big jobs for all those small rush orders. All that setup and machine adjustment time is killing us. And quite frankly, Jim, you were no help. When our hydraulic press broke down last month, your people were nowhere to be found. We had to take it apart ourselves and got stuck with all that idle time.
2. Morris:I’m sorry about that, Tom, but you know my department has had trouble making budget, too. We were running well behind at the time of that problem, and if we’d spent a day on that old machine, we would never have made it up. Instead we made the scheduled inspections of the forklift trucks because we knew we could do those in less than the budgeted time.
3. Emory:Well, Jim, at least you have some options. I’m locked into what the scheduling department assigns to me and you know they’re being harassed by sales for those special orders. Incidentally, why didn’t your report show all the supplies you guys wasted last month when you were working in Bill’s department?
4. Morris:We’re not out of the woods on that deal yet. We charged the maximum we could to other work and haven’t even reported some of it yet.
5. Emory:Well, I’m glad you have a way of getting out of the pressure. The accountants seem to know everything that’s happening in my department, sometimes even before I do. I thought all that budget and accounting stuff was supposed to help, but it just gets me into trouble. It’s all a big pain. I’m trying to put out quality work; they’re trying to save pennies.

Required:

1. Identify the problems that appear to exist in Ferguson & Son Manufacturing Company’s budgetary control system and explain how the problems are likely to reduce the effectiveness of the system.

2. Explain how Ferguson & Son Manufacturing Company’s budgetary control system could be revised to improve its effectiveness.
