Please provide a rebuttal for the below , position is against.

We stand to support the proposition that “where the inputs are raw materials, it is relatively easy to identify the transformation involved, but where the inputs are information or people, the nature of the transformation may be less obvious”.

At the very heart of business operations is the production of products or services. This is conducted through the operations function which is considered to be the most important functional area of the business. The operations function is where actual work is done and is responsible for the production of goods and services that are ready for sale to customers, in order for the business to make a profit. For a business to be successful, its operations function must involve taking inputs (raw material, human resources, information), a transformation process, and outputs - the actual product or service (Introduction to Operations Management, n.d.). The creation of goods or services, therefore, involves transforming or converting inputs which are not readily useful, into outputs that are useful to customers (MGMT2026 Unit 1: Introduction to Production and Operations Management, 2018).

According to The Open University (2011), the transformation process is any activity or group of activities that takes one or more inputs, transforms and adds value to them, and provides outputs for customers or clients. Inputs would include raw materials (such as water, metals or wood), human resources (such as employees), or information (such as pricing). To better understand the transformation process, The Open University (2011) states that transformation may be categorized into different types:

manufacture – the physical creation of products (for example cars)

transport – the movement of materials or customers (for example a taxi service)

supply – change in ownership of goods (for example in retailing)

service – the treatment of customers or the storage of materials (for example hospital wards, warehouses).

It is believed that various types of transformations are vital in the production of a good product or service. Raw materials as inputs play an integral role in the manufacturing transformation process. “The importance of the raw material to the efficient operation of a manufacturing organization cannot be overemphasized; in that, the availability of the raw material in the right quality and quantity will determine to a reasonable extent; the availability, quality and quantity of the resultant output” (Akindipe, 2014).

The Oxford dictionary defines transformation as a marked change in form, nature, or appearance. A process by which one figure, expression, or function is converted into another (Oxford Dictionaries, 2018). Based on this definition it is compelling to agree that where inputs are raw materials, they are easily identified. According to The Open University (2011), it is relatively easier to identify the transformation involved when the inputs are raw materials than when it is information or people. Tangible resources or raw materials that are transformed into outputs are more easily detected by feel, touch and sight than those outputs that are intangible such as information or people. For example, when milk is transformed into cheese and butter, the resultant product is obvious to the customer who can determine the essential value that has been added by looking at and using the cheese or butter. The transformation of metals and other parts into a car gives obvious value to the customer who can now use the car for the purpose of transportation. On the other hand, where the input is human, for example, a teacher at a school, the output is not that obvious. It may take months or years to determine whether the process was successful, such as after external exams. A student may not automatically see the value of the information received from the teacher until he or she has gained passes in the exams.

To ensure that the desired outputs are obtained, an organization utilize measurements in the transformation process. The output from raw materials are tangible products and can be easily measured, as against the outputs from human resources or information input which may be assumed (for example when a mechanic services a car), or the customer will have to wait for a period of time to really experience the value (for example treatment of a patient with a particular drug by a doctor). A car assembly plant and a hospital might look very similar, but a closer look will show clear differences. One is a manufacturing operation which produces ‘products’, and the other is a service operation that produces ‘services’ which changes the physiological or psychological condition of patients. The inputs for the car plant are raw materials and the transformation results in a car being formed. In the case of the hospital, the inputs are people (sick patients) and information about these patients, which are transformed into persons who are no longer ill. It is clear therefore that it is always easier to identify the car having been transformed from raw materials such as steel, plastic, tyres, spare parts and other materials than to determine whether the sick patient has been transformed into a well person. Other processes will have to be performed to determine whether the transformation has really happened in the case of the hospital, which means that knowing if the person became well may not readily be known.

It is important to explore the practicality of inputs being placed in a product that is merely information or the skill of an employee. It would be incorrect if we were to state that inputs are only parts or material. Inputs are categorized differently, they can be seen sometimes as anything involved in the process of preparing a product or as only the components of the product itself. This is not what we are validating; it is the point that inputs such as information and individuals’ skills are less obvious. When a product has gone through its transformation we can look and say, yes, this product was changed through the efficiency of a person or them having some knowledge to adequately address issues with a product that would help it to function better. MGMT2026 Unit 1, expresses that human inputs in the transformation process are the muscle power or brain power that aids in getting the product to the final showing. We are posing the question to you, can you see a product and say specifically, “this addition of brain or muscle has really improved the look, feel of the product or its general use?” We think not, as it is not practical to see human input or easily ascertain which information specifically made the final product better.

In conclusion, we reiterate that where the inputs are raw materials, it is relatively easy to identify the transformation involved, but where the inputs are information or people, the nature of the transformation may be less obvious. Transformation from inputs of raw materials are easily seen, tangible, and are experienced almost immediately. Transformation from inputs of people and information sometimes have to be assumed, not always tangible, and may only be experienced after a period of time, sometimes months or years.

Rapid advances in the field of molecular and cellular biology have unwillingly unleashed the potential for creating viruses and bacteria more virulent than nature's worst. In the summer of 2002, Researchers at the State University of New York at Stony Brook described the first de novo biochemical synthesis of a virus, based on published gene sequence information and using "off the shelf" commercially available DNA material. After they pieced together genetic sequences to form a full-length poliovirus, they successfully replicated and translated this material cell-free in test tubes. The resulting nucleic acids and proteins were then able to assemble spontaneously into fully infectious viral agents. The scientists began their work from genetic blueprints that exist in the public domain, that is, in published journal articles and on internet databases. The ability to manufacture an infectious agent from scratch using preexisting, published knowledge is an unsettling development. The theoretical possibility that current knowledge could permit the creation of potential agents of biological warfare generated intense media interest around the world. As a result of studies like that at Stony Brook, an ethical debate has arisen over whether such research should be pursued, and if so, whether the details of such research should be published. Some argue that the pursuit and publication of such research unwittingly aids would-be terrorists; others argue that the dissemination of information is necessary for the effective sharing of research within the scientific community and for science to progress.

In 250-300 words, explain which side of the debate you support and why (TYPE ANSWER PLEASE).

Environmental fate of medications Medications can enter wastewater management systems either through human excretions or through improper disposal. Many medications are not effectively treated by current wastewater management processes and therefore are discharged by wastewater treatment plants. Antidepressants are some of the most commonly prescribed medications in the United States, and many antidepressants are not effectively managed by wastewater treatment plants. a. A wastewater treatment plant discharges to Boulder Creek in Colorado at a rate of 64 million L/day, and the stream flow, upstream of the wastewater discharge point, is 1110 L/s. If the concentration of the antidepressant venlafaxine (Effexor) measured in the creek water is 10 ng/L, what is the mass discharged per day from the wastewater treatment plant, assuming that there are no sources other than the wastewater treatment plant, and assuming that the drug rapidly equilibrates among sediment, fish, and water? What is the concentration of the medication in the wastewater treatment plant effluent? BCF = 40.27 KOC = 3.162 Organic sediment = 15 ppm Biota concentration = 5 g/100 m3 b. A man fishing near the outflow point of Boulder Creek eats 0.2 kg of fish from the creek. How much venlafaxine will he ingest? One dose of Effexor contains 75 mg of venlafaxine. What percentage of a dose will the fisherman ingest?
