Ramsey Motors manufacturers water (hydrogen) powered automobiles. The company committed to producing 500,000 vehicles last year, but ended up only manufacturing half of that. The issue is with a part that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen in a process known as electrolysis. The part was supposed to be installed using an automated process, but the machines are having trouble doing this, so factory workers have to do it manually on the assembly line, causing delays. Use the balanced scorecard to evaluate this situation. Which perspective is most closely related to these manufacturing issues? Define the perspective and explain how it can be used to measure Ramsey’s performance.

Provide the goal of the study, clearly stating the research hypothesis. Describe the study design.

Describe the results noting the direction (e.g., higher or lower; increase or decrease; etc.) and difference between sample mean (M = ?; 95% CI = ?) and the population mean (µ = ?).

Report the inferential statistic used to compute the p-value (Z [ n = ?] = observed value, p < or > .05) and state if the results are significant or not.

Report and interpret the 95% CI around the difference between the two means (e.g., does the CI contain 0 or not—how do you interpret the Ho if it does or does not include 0?). Also, be sure to report and interpret the effect size (d = ?).

1. A research team happens to know that male rats administered a placebo drug will spend μ = 5 minutes per hour grooming (σ = 6). They believe that male rats administered a low dose of the street drug ecstasy will spend less than 5 minutes per hour grooming. They chose 100 male rats, administered a low dose of ecstasy to each, then measured the number of minutes per hour each rat spent grooming. The mean of this sample was M = 4. The research question the researcher want to answer is: does administering a low dose of ecstasy affect the time spent grooming?

Create and initialize a string array, write and use 3 functions.Write a program.

Create a string array in the main(),called firstNameArray, initialize with7 first namesJim, Tuyet, Ann, Roberto, Crystal, Valla, Mathilda

Write a first function, named searchArray, that passes two arguments: a single person’s name and the array reference, into a function,This function should then search the array to see if the name is in the firstNameArray. If found, it will return the array index where the name is found, else it return the number 7.(This function needs 3 parameters –see code examples above)

Write the code in the main program to call/use the searchArray function. Check the return value for the index value returned. Print the name using the index number(0 to 6), or prints ‘name not found’ if it return a 7.

Write a second function, print AllNames, that will print all the names in the array.Pass the array into the function. (This function needs two parameters –see code example above)

Write the code in the main program to call/use this printAllNames function.

Write a third function, called deleteName, that will delete a name from the array. Check first to see if the name is in the array, before you try to delete it(use the searchArray function).If you find the name, then write “ “ to the location in the array. ... Just making spot blank.(This function requires 3 parameters –see code examples above).

Call the printAllNames function to print the array to verify you have deleted a value.Print out the array... if the spot/index in the array is blank do not print it.

Another utilization of cash flow analysis is setting the bid price on a project. To calculate the bid price, we set the project NPV equal to zero and find the required price. Thus the bid price represents a financial break-even level for the project. Guthrie Enterprises needs someone to supply it with 152,000 cartons of machine screws per year to support its manufacturing needs over the next five years, and you’ve decided to bid on the contract. It will cost you $1,920,000 to install the equipment necessary to start production; you’ll depreciate this cost straight-line to zero over the project’s life. You estimate that in five years this equipment can be salvaged for $162,000. Your fixed production costs will be $277,000 per year, and your variable production costs should be $9.70 per carton. You also need an initial investment in net working capital of $142,000. If your tax rate is 34 percent and you require a return of 12 percent on your investment, what bid price per carton should you submit? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Java Programming Preferably

Concepts:

Generics

Arrays

Objects

Part I: Write a routine in Java that takes an array, the length of the array, and an element and returns the position of the element in the array. For example, given the array with values [2, 4, 6, 8] and element 6, the routine should return 2 (since counting from 0, 6 occurs at position 2 in the array). Your routine should use generics to enable your routine to be reusable for different element types. Be sure to test your code with a Java compiler before you submit it.

Part II: Write a generic “greater-than” function that (a) takes two objects as arguments, each of which has a “value” method which returns an integer; and (b) returns the argument whose “value” method returns the larger integer. Your generic function should constrain its type argument so that types without a “value” method cannot be used.Please review the test harness example to ensure your program meets the requirements. Find the test harness below;

public class TestGenerics {

public static void main(String[] args) {

MyFirstObject myObj1 = new MyFirstObject();

MySecondObject myObj2 = new MySecondObject();

MyGenerics mg = new MyGenerics();

Integer[] array = {2,4,6,8};

System.out.println( mg.partOne(array, array.length, 6) );

System.out.println( mg.partTwo(myObj1, myObj2) );

}

Device Selection – No other Phase Is More Important: Mobile Nursing Devices

Case Study: Our story began almost 2 years ago. As a consultant, this author participated in a team that completed a device needs assessment for the selection of point-of-care documentation devices for Big Healthcare System (BHS). Our consultant team was engaged because of an unsatisfactory response from an employee to a member of the facility’s board of directors. The question was “How did we arrive at the decision to select these certain machines that you are asking $1.7 million to purchase?”

Our Team defined the following metrics for device selection:

  • Device form factor analysis (workstations on wheels [WOWs], tables, other handheld devices)
  • Space availability within patient rooms during use and storage
  • Provisions for spare machines
  • Downtime strategies
  • Analysis of various clinician usage and preferences
  • Wireless networking capacity and coverage
  • Integration with bar coding and scanning technologies
  • Electrical outlet availability (location and quantity)
  • Reallocation of existing desktop machines for physician usage

In total, this process was completed over the course of eight weeks, and upon presentation to the board of directors, out team literally received a standing ovation. Upon completion of our work, we presented our strategy and success around device selection, and the abstract of this write-up received a national award.

Based on this success, there was great confidence in our processes. In a new opportunity for a similar device selection process as part of a larger project at a Regional Community Hospital (RCH) in the West, we expected to repeat our success. The project was initiated, and RCH built a team of invested, skilled, and knowledgeable clinical and information technology staff. However, the device selection team was scheduled to meet weekly, as opposed to the concentrated “all hands on deck” efforts experienced at BHS. Thus, from the project design stage, the process was changed to be longer in duration at RCH than our process of 8 weeks at BHS. Almost two years later, point-of-care devices were only just being purchased for use by nursing assistants, respiratory care therapists, and some sporadic use in the intensive care unit.

As a result of the slower, comprehensive, and methodical process for device selection, we identified opportunities that would not have been possible in a quicker, more concentrated project. Some of our notable findings are the following:

  • The emergence of newer point-of-care technologies (tablets with scanners)
  • Postponement of capital expenditures
  • Reconciling specific challenges with wireless network coverage and capacity constraints
  • Resolution of infection control issues related to device cleaning and storage
  • Planning for medication administration and pharmacy delivery process changes
  • Configurations of WOWs

This methodical approach created a new challenge to our credibility, especially among the nursing staff. Because significant aspects of point-of-care device selection requires participation from the front-line nursing staff, we engaged the nursing staff early in the selection approval process. Although early involvement provided education and buy-in, it also led to significant delays in acquisition and deployment, which caused frustration among the nursing staff.
