Discuss HOW and WHY interrelationships and interdependencies between capacity inventory and delivery performance

For “interrelationships and interdependencies between capacity, inventory and delivery performance”, capacity means the ability for workers to work on day shift, night shift and weekend, which has max work load each day. Capacity decides how much inventory we have, and we also need to pay little inventory cost. Delivery performance means if we have enough inventory then we have good performance, if we can not fulfill demands we have to pay for penalty fee. For “Critically evaluate your team’s strategies for forecasting, inventory management and capacity management.”, In the game, our forecast strategy is MOVING AVERAGE. we use moving-average(first 4 weeks(wk1-4), moving to getting average from wk2-5) method to forecast the demand in this year, which has a good average number of demand from last year , but it cannot have a quick reaction of few huge demand in that week(like wk1 ask for 2000,wk2 1800, and wk3 suddenly ask for 18000). Strategy for inventory is make to order, which cause the lack of inventory a few times. Strategy for capacity is only production once our inventory is low, which make our unit cost high(factory has fix cost if we dont produce) and cause “lagged effect”(lack of inventory cause capacity is not enough once we have huge order). “financial focus”: earn 10% of initial investment $500,000, we earn 60000 at the end. “customer focus”: 99% customer satisfactory, we only fulfill 82%. lack of inventory. Huge penalty. In order to have 99%, which means we have to have a huge inventory, which is not a good idea, the cost of 99% is too much to be perfect. we should set like 95%. Correct forecast should be macroscopical(see attached pic) and monthly(not weekly). Production should be steady and monthly. inventory should be enough for few weeks. (no need any citations)

Psychoanalysis posits that the thing we want is not really the thing we want

Psychoanalysis posits that the thing we want is not really the thing we want. The theory seeks to uncover our hidden desires and expose their roots so as to understand our behavior towards others and ourselves. Psychoanalysis is probably the closest of the theories we’ve explored in this class to Plato’s The Symposium because both are mostly about desire. Essay #2 Purpose The purpose of this assignment is to write an essay with a thesis that is supported with evidence. Texts Slavoj Žižek “Courtly Love, or, Woman as Thing” Carl Gustav Jung “The Principal Archetypes” Plato’s The Symposium. Topic Psychoanalysis posits that the thing we want is not really the thing we want. The theory seeks to uncover our hidden desires and expose their roots so as to understand our behavior towards others and ourselves. Psychoanalysis is probably the closest of the theories we’ve explored in this class to Plato’s The Symposium because both are mostly about desire. Writing Assignment Using either Žižek’s or Jung’s text, answer the following: What can we learn if we read The Symposium with a psychoanalytical theoretical framework? Directions Please type three to four pages of double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font Use one-inch margins Include an original title Include a thesis with one claim and one rationale Quote from Žižek or Jung and Plato For this essay, write from third person perspective Avoid second-person perspective Tips Responding critically in this context means you look closely at logic, rhetoric, theory, metaphor, analogies, symbols, language, gender, ‘structures,’ opinions, beliefs, feelings, the mind, the setting (the context), the culture, and any other linguistically charged letter, word, or phrase to answer the question above. Suggested Outline Begin by introducing the author (Plato), the title of the text, and a summary of how he utilizes language, structures, logic, or patterns. Then, clearly state your thesis at the end of your introduction. In the body of your essay, introduce the author (either Žižek or Jung), the title of his text, and then provide your reasons to support your thesis (make your thesis believable). You should clearly state and develop one reason per paragraph. Remember to provide specific evidence (quotes) from the text(s). Let the quotes support your answer to the question, not the other way around. Conclude your essay by echoing your thesis and leave your reader to believe how or why it is important or not to read The Symposium through a psychoanalytical theoretical framework. If you get stuck when writing, give yourself a break. Walk away from your work for a bit, have a stretch, close your laptop, discuss out-loud what you want to write, talk to someone about your ideas and have that person ask you questions that will challenge your opinions and assumptions until you feel confident that you ‘discovered’ the words you want to use.

Currently, Green-Plus Industries has eight facilities in other regions; in fact, this new facility will be the first of three new regional offices slated to open in the next three years. This new facility will be a multipurpose regional office with over a thousand employees in a variety of disciplines. Green-Plus Industries is planning to hire for a range of positions, including: Regional vice president and senior staff functions. A customer service team. A distribution/warehouse team of about 400 employees. As the organization continues to grow, it is finding increasing difficulty in recruiting qualified employees to fill key management positions and positions at all levels of the organization. Current Employee Development The training department has these programs that are used to conduct employee development: The 5-day management development program was created in 1995 by the former training director. It is conducted several times a year and “up and comers” are sent to this program when it is offered. This program focuses on planning, controlling, organizing, delegating, and employee discipline. The job shadowing program is for the same employees. It involves a two-week planned shadow of selected employees with the goal of exposing trainees to key jobs and the duties involved. Individual departments also set up and run their own department-level training programs. Your Role You have been brought in by the senior manager of learning and development to help create a variety of development plans and programs to develop the needed knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) for employees at various levels of the organization. Based on your role as an external consultant, your first goal is to evaluate the current development programs, and then make recommendations for an evidence-based employee development program.
