Topic Essay:
How do we explain today’s unusually low unemployment rate, at a time when the labor participation rate is not especially low?
For many years, the U.S. unemployment rate has been the main measure of the employment picture in the economy. Since the 1960s, the labor participation rate dropped steadily, until about the last decade, when it started drifting up. So in a way, the current very low U.S. unemployment rate is somewhat misleading, because it from a base of fewer working-age Americans choosing to be in the workforce.

select a company that you know its operations well and make
recommendations to improve its operations. Your project
should address what problems you see in these operations, what
seems to the causes of these problems, how would you go about
addressing these problems and the methods, how would you collect
data, what recommendations would you make
to improve the situation, what are the potential benefits. List any
potential difficulties.
Ideally, if the company can implement some of your recommendations,
then what will be the actual impacts?
The format needs to be as follows in three parts: (1) State the business problem and define data requirements, (2) conduct both quantitative and qualitative analysis using one or more operations management tools (3) draw conclusions and provide recommendations. Graphs, charts and spreadsheets should be in the exhibit and is not considered as part of the write-up.
example:
analyze the constraints of a business operation taking into account customer demand and balancing staffing needs with acceptable waiting times. Try to balance the line to minimize customer waiting times and employees idle times. Imagine you are starting a new business that has a few steps (hopefully more than three as shown in the book) in the operation and each step may require different skills and thus may need different operators. Based on the average processing times, effective capacities, and labor costs at each step, come up with various scenarios and recommend one best setup. Remember this needs to be based on meeting the rate of customer demands per hour. Calculate the profitability of the recommended staffing at each step with the revenue and costs shown for each alternative proposal. Use graphs and charts to illustrate your recommended setup.

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are used to monitor and control industrial processes. In 2007, it was demonstrated that hackers with access to the SCADA system in a power generation plant could cause an industrial turbine to begin "spinning wildly out of control until it becomes a smoking hulk and power shuts down." (Schneier) Suppose such an attack was launched against a power plant. Which security goal (CIA) does the attack violate? Explain your answer.

Nurad, Inc. brought this suit to recover costs it incurred in removing several underground storage tanks (USTs) from property it owns in Baltimore, Maryland. From 1905 to 1963, William E. Hooper & Sons (Hooper Co.) owned the site known as Hooperwood Mills. At some point before 1935, Hooper Co. installed tanks for the storage of mineral spirits which it used to coat fabrics in its textile finishing plant. In 1962, Hooper Co. sold Hooperwood Mills to Monumental Enterprises, Inc. without removing the mineral spirits or the tanks. In 1963, Monumental leased several of the buildings on the site to various tenants, including Allstates Moving. In 1976, Monumental Enterprises sold Hooperwood Mills to Kenneth Mumaw, who subdivided the property and sold a portion of it to Nurad. Nurad, which manufactured antennae, never used the tanks, nor knew of their existence. However, in 1987 the Maryland Department of the Environment ordered Nurad to remove the tanks from the ground or fill them with sand or concrete. Nurad asked Hooper Co., Mumaw, and Allstates Moving to contribute toward the $226,000 in cleanup cost, but they all refused. (Monumental Enterprises was no longer in existence) Who would be liable for the clean up under CERCLA? Explain. Nurad, Inc. v. William E. Hooper & Sons, 966 F.2d 837. (CA-4, 1992)

Use the information below to answer the following
question.
The Boxwood Company sells blankets for $60 each. The following was
taken from the inventory records during May. The company had no
beginning inventory on May 1.
Date | Blankets | Units | Cost |
May 3 | Purchase | 5 | $20 |

17 | Purchase | 10 | $24 |
20 | Sale | 6 | |
23 | Sale | 3 | |
30 | Purchase | 10 | $30 |
Assuming that the company uses the perpetual inventory system,
determine the cost of merchandise sold for the sale of May 20 using
the FIFO inventory cost method.

Established in 2002, t-shirts.com has rapidly become the place to
find, order, and save on T-shirts. One huge selling factor is that
the company manufactures its own T-shirts. However, the quality
manager for the production plant, Kasey Harnish, has noticed an
unacceptable number of defective T-shirts being produced. You have
been hired to assist Kasey in understanding where the problems are
concentrated. He suggests using a PivotTable to perform an analysis
and has provided you with a data file,
T3_TshirtProduction_Data.xls.
The following is a brief definition of the information
within the data file:
A. Batch: A unique number that identifies each batch or group of
products produced.
B. Product: A unique number that identifies each product.
C. Machine: A unique number that identifies each machine on which
products are produced.
D. Employee: A unique number that identifies each employee
producing products.
E. Batch Size: The number of products produced in a given
batch.
F. Num Defect: The number of defective products produced in a given
batch.
Make fifteen pivottables as follows.
1. Four one-factor pivottables that investigate the defective rates. Use Product, Machine, Employee, and Batch Size as row fields and Num Defect as the value field to make four pivottables.
2. Six two-factor pivottables. Use Product x Machine, Product x Employee, Product x Batch Size, Machine x Employee, Machine x Batch Size, Employee x Batch Size as row and column fields respectively. For example, when you use Product x Machine factors, you put Product as the row field and Machine as the column field. Still, Num Defect is the value field.
3. Four three-factor pivottables. Use Product x Machine x Employee, Product x Machine x Batch Size, Product x Employee x Batch Size, Machine x Employee x Batch Size as row and column fields respectively. For example, when you use Product x Machine x Employee factors, you put Product and Machine as the row fields and Machine as the column field. Still, Num Defect is the value field.
4. One four-factor pivottable. Use Product x Machine x Employee x Batch size as row and column fields. The first three factors can be the row fields, and the last one is the column field. Still, Num Defect is the value field.
Here is the data for this question
