Scheduling is an essential task for any service line. Coordination is needed to plan for an effective schedule to ensure products and services are delivered to meet the consumer demand (Vonderembse & White, 2013). In order to create the right schedule, management must consider the expected turnaround time of a product and the number of goods that need to be produced. Restaurants may utilize the method known as chase demand to schedule the most number of workers based on the busiest hours using the historical pattern (Vonderembse & White, 2013). This approach will allow people who may want to work a part-time position to staff the busiest hours and then not have too many employees idle during the rest of the shift. Furthermore, restaurants may install technology, such as self-checkout lanes to reduce the need of labor and re-allocate its staff to perform higher critical-thinking tasks (Nassauer, 2020). Additionally, restaurants and airlines use reservations to know the demand in advance. Airlines can offer the lowest fares for those that are willing to book farthest in advance (Vonderembse & White, 2013). This allows companies to prepare adequately in time whereas hospitals cannot respond to an on-demand approach and adjust capacity easily. However, the hospital may cross-train employees to improve flexibility in scheduling to rotate among existing pool of resources.

In Chapter 11 of Operations Management, Authors Vonderembse & White (2013), share with the readers many facts on the inventory production system known as Just-in-Time (JIT). This system is widely used in assembly line work, where the many tasks are accomplished in a continuous flow and the inventory is kept at a minimum with little or no waste. Lean process is part of the JIT process where the many steps of production are reviewed and combined or eliminated with results of production times being faster with same turnout of a quality product for the customer. The components of JIT are generating flow, simplified process flow, uncovering problems in inventory, emphasis on quality, and eliminating waste the best a company structure can do so. The steps are to be precise and conducted in a fast turnaround time as customers expect the product in a timely manner for the supply and demand of product has a direct correlation on how much a customer purchases of a product.

The process is commonly see in the automotive industry as they are production line structured. I have seen the process in replacement parts also, the packaging of small parts in the plastic bags then in placed in box of item, motors, book shelves, TV Stands are all examples of JIT. Other business I have seen with this structure are also production lines in baking/dry goods – General Mills, Amazon, and yes even the coffee maker Starbucks are in the JIT – lean business operations.    As for business this would be totally inappropriate, I think of the emergency hospital visit. A hospital has to have the right amount of people and technology (machines) for assistance of an ill person, the personal touch needed for each case cannot be rushed, as a critical diagnosis may be overlooked.   Stock of medications/supplies are needed for more than a week or two, as a disaster in area (such as a tornado) may result in a large number of people in the hospital at one time Yes there is a process in place at the hospital to assist the most people as they can; however, in JIT system, it is not about the person’s well-being, it’s about the numbers while maintaining quality.

The level of pesticides found in the blubber of whales is a measure of pollution of the oceans by runoff from land and can also be used to identify different populations of whales. A sample of six male minke whales in the West Greenland area of the North Atlantic found the mean concentration of the insecticide dieldrin to be x = 356 nanograms per gram of blubber (ng/g). Suppose that the concentration in all such whales varies Normally with population standard deviation σ = 54 ng/g. Give a 95% confidence interval for estimating the mean level.

Are sports team names racist or celebratory of Native American peoples? Support your opinion. Consider Thanksgiving and Independence Day. How might these holidays remind Native Americans of their marginal status?

choose one of the most dominant InfoSec management models, including national and international standards-based models. What makes this model one of the most dominant? What should be taken into consideration when selecting the most appropriate model or framework for an organization?

C++ code

a program should prompt the user for the name of the output file. The file should be opened for write operations. Values calculated by the program will be written to this file. The program must verify that the file opened correctly. If the file did not open, an error message should be printed and the user should be prompted again. This should continue until the user supplies a valid filename.

2. An interesting and popular hypothesis is that individuals can temporarily postpone death to survive a major holiday or important event such as a birthday. In a study, it was found that there were 6062 deaths in the week before Thanksgiving, and 5938 deaths the week after Thanksgiving (based on data from “Holidays, Birthdays, and Postponement of Cancer Death,” by Young and Hade, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 292, No. 24).

   (a) If people can postpone death until after Thanksgiving, then the proportion of deaths in the week before should be less than 50%. By hand, use the p-value method and a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of deaths in the week before Thanksgiving is less than 50%. Use excel to confirm the p-value you found. Hint: the command =norm.s.dist(test statistic, true) finds the left tail probability for z. (b) Based on the result, does there appear to be any indication that people can temporarily postpone death to survive the Thanksgiving holiday? (c) Suppose the hypothesis test in a) was to find if the proportion is different from 50%; redo the hypothesis test by hand using the p-value method and compare the results. Confirm your p-value using excel.

Problem 6.11 (LO2) Activity-Based Costing Summit Surfboard produces two surfboards. One is a recreational model made from polyurethane foam covered with fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin. The other is a high performance competition board that uses carbon fiber instead of fiberglass. The carbon fiber boards are custom-made and require more hand finishing and setup time.

Most of the company’s sales come from the recreational model, but recently sales of the competition boards have been increasing. The following information is related to the products for the most recent year:

Vikki Mason, the president of Summit, is concerned that the traditional cost system used by Summit may not be providing accurate cost information and that the sales price of the competition surfboard might not be enough to cover its true cost.

Required

1. The traditional system that Summit is using assigns 83 percent of the $336,000 total overhead to the recreational surfboard because 83 percent of the direct labor dollars are spent on the recreational surfboards. Discuss why this might not be an accurate way to assign overhead to surfboards.
2. Discuss how Summit might be able to improve cost allocation by using an ABC system.
3. Assume that Summit retains a consultant to create an activity-based costing system, and the consultant develops the following data:

5. Determine the overhead allocation to each line of surfboards using an activity-based costing approach, and compute the total unit costs for each model surfboard. Round to two decimal places.
6. Discuss why activity-based allocations are different from those generated by the traditional allocation method used by Summit.
