Metrics to Assess Success

Metrics to Assess Success
In this course, you will complete one individual project made up of two parts. IP 1A will be due in Unit 3 (this week), while IP 1B will be due in Unit 4. For this part (IP 1A), you are working for a company that produces small and medium sized coolers. Typical application is for outdoor picnics. Currently all the production and distribution happens out of a facility on the East Coast. Your company has had challenges reaching the customers on the West Coast as a result of the high freight rates, due low density of the product.

The marketing manager tried to mitigate this competitive disadvantage by freight equalization; so that end customers would pay the same amount of shipping costs as the West Coast competition charged, regardless of where they were located. This met with some insignificant success because timeliness of delivery was another important issue. However, this did affect the margins negatively since the company now is taking the hit for the less-than-truck-load shipments to West Coast customers.

CEO of the company asked you assess 3 options and to give your recommendation on the way the company should progress:

Keep the current setup, continue shipping products from the East Coast facility and distribution center westward;
Contract a distribution facility on the West Coast to ship full truck loads from the factory there, thus distributing to the final customers using less-than-truck-loads; or
Establish both a production facility and the distribution facility on the West Coast. One complication with that is the fact that all the raw materials are still coming from the East Coast.
Unit 3 Deliverables:

Section I: Introduction (200 words)

State the problem at hand and alternatives. What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of the distributing products from multiple locations based on your research?

Section II: Manufacturing operations flows (300-500 words)

Discuss the product flows in the manufacturing environment. What are the steps involved in producing the order and shipping it the customer. List the activities and rough timelines. What are some of the risks behind not completing certain activity on time (hint: think of the customer impact)

Section III: Metrics to Assess Success (300-500 words)

What are some of the reasons to measure the performance metrics (KPIs)? List at least 3 specific metrics to access success, be as specific as possible. How would the metrics be measured? Do you believe they should be shared with employees?

Provide citations and references to support your information.

What is globalization? Is it a single process, or are there many different “globalizations”? What is neoliberal globalization? Who are the winners and who are the losers of Globalization? How has neoliberal globalization affected China? What sorts of changes have happened in China over the last 25 years? Is China a communist country? If so, what does it mean to be communist? If not, is China capitalist? Why do the workers in the film want to leave the countryside? What would they do if they stayed back home? Many supporters of neoliberalism claim, “even If conditions in factories are bad, they are better than working the fields,” additionally stating that “it’s their choice. If they don’t like the jobs in the factories they can leave.” Is this a valid argument? Do the factory girls have a choice? What other types of jobs do you think they could get?

DSM5 Psychology

DSM5 Psychology

*A full three (3) page paper (Double-spaced, ¾ inch margins on the sides, 1 inch margins at top and bottom, at least 23 lines per page) dealing with a psychiatrically diagnosable mental disorder represented with the DSM 5. Each presentation should include: 1. A clear, complete definition of the diagnosable mental disorder. For the DSM 5 mental disorder which you choose, be certain to briefly mention key symptoms which would qualify an individual as experiencing the disorder (do not copy the symptoms word for word out of the DSM 5. Be sure to paraphrase, briefly, any information obtained by use of the DSM 5. In other words, do not copy word for word the diagnostic criteria specified in the DSM 5. Instead paraphrase in a concise, succinct fashion. Do not use an entire line to state 1 symptom but, instead, discuss the symptoms in sentence form. 2. A scholarly analysis of the possible causal explanations (genetic, neurobiological, psychological, social, cultural, etc.) of the disorder. This analysis should include five or more citations of specific peer-reviewed research studies (e.g., Johnson, 1999) and articles which one(s) support the causal explanations cited in your presentation. APA style is preferred but not mandatory. Do not cite textbooks on popular magazines such as
“Psychology Today” or “WebMD.” The DSM5 does not count as one of your 5 peer
reviewed references. You will be able to obtain information about these peer-reviewed research studies on the internet. Of the possible causes which you cite, which one(s) seem to be most supported by research data? Many students will need to cite more than five sources to document their contention of causes sufficiently. (See next paragraph also). Each paragraph will likely require one or more peer-reviewed journal article citations. Please avoid the use of lengthy quotations. (Paraphrase instead) 3. A review of intervention strategies that might be employed to treat the disorder which you are discussing. This review should consider psychotherapeutic, psychopharmacological, and/or other strategies which have typically been found to be helpful in alleviating the disorder which you are considering. Again, citation of peer-reviewed research articles will be needed to support your contention that the research studies you site are appropriate ones.

Discussion

If forecasting is rarely exact, why should a firm bother doing it? How can contingent employees help an organization prepare for anticipated surpluses or shortages of workers?

Research and Reflection 5: Diversity

Research and Reflection 5: Diversity

We live in a diverse world, and we are diverse in a multitude of ways. You may consider any type of diversity that you find interesting and relevant to your past/present/future.

Remember that you can draw on our class discussions and class readings for this assignment, but it is also required that you search for 1-2 other information sources to enhance your learning and make connections to your personal interests and concerns. All sources (both class assigned and those you research on your own) must be properly cited both in text and on a works cited page.

Part 1: Cultural Attitudes Toward Diversity
1. What is our cultural attitude toward diversity? Do you think college students value diversity? Why or why not?
2. Look for evidence of our cultural attitudes toward diversity (think TV, movies, music, social media, media, advertising, products, etc.). How do these things shape our attitudes toward diversity?
3. How do we (on our campus, in our community, in our county, and/or in our world) encourage (or fail to encourage) acceptance of diversity? Is this effective? Why or why not?
4. Is it important to embrace diversity? It is possible to see everyone as equal? Why or why not? Why is this significant to us today?

Part 2: Personal Attitudes Toward Diversity
5. In what ways have you experienced diversity in your own life? What have you learned from these experiences? What would you like to teach others based on what you, yourself, have learned?
6. We often are so busy in our day-to-day lives that we forget to notice our surroundings. Using the Wadsworth Quick Guide to Diversity Article in D2L, take a walk around campus. Maybe sit in the Union or your residence hall for a period of time. Follow the directions listed in the article (p130-131)and simply note what you think and see during your observation. Tell me in detail, about your experience.
7. Has discussing Diversity and completing Harvard implicit tests impacted your awareness of other lifestyles/experiences/cultures? Why or why not? Could you do to expanding your awareness of various types of diversity?

This essay must include at least two full pages of your original analysis of 2 of the 3 posted documents. Draw on the respective document readings to craft a well-reasoned argument essay that addresses the prompt. This is not a research paper. I have included a brief introduction to each document to help you understand it in its historical context. If there are words, concepts, or other points of fact that you do not understand, look them up in a reliable source, including your text book. Use that knowledge to help you analyze the document, but do not use much space in your paper to explain outside research. Rather, devote these two pages to YOUR analysis of 2 of the PRIMARY SOURCES in question. The specific documents are provided through D2L under Content / Course Documents and Assignments. The essay is worth 13% of the final grade, the same weight as a regular unit exam. Submit the essay into the D2L Dropbox by the due date, March24^th, 11:59 pm, CST.

Excerpts from Darius I, “The Beisitun Inscription;” Mengzi / Book ofMencius;and Ashoka, Three Edicts.

 

In the 21^st c. U.S., we distinguish two (among other) categories of thought and human interaction known as “religion” and “politics.” While these terms reflect our own assumptions and worldview, they can still help us think about how people in other historical contexts have thought about the relationship between power on earth and some notion of sacred reality, reality that transcends what is strictly earthly and material. These three selections come from a relatively short historical time frame (ca. 522 BCE – 231 BCE) in three different geographical/political/philosophical/religious etc. contexts.They are not identical in genre (though 2 are similar), purpose, or audience.

After reading all three selections, choose two of them to compare to one another. What  view of human nature do they present or assume? What do they argue is the role of the ruler? How does or should the ruler relate to a particular notion of sacred reality or to some sense of ideas or forces that go beyond the material? Use specific examples from the primary sources. Consider their author, their original context and audience, their genre, their purpose. Craft an interesting argument based on evidence from the sources and your own analysis of them. Take care not to make sweeping judgments or claims about entire cultures or civilizations; argue only what you can defend from the particular excerpts in question.

When using material from the documents, use parenthetical citation format at the end of the quotationor paraphrased passage, e.g. (Mencius141) or (Darius 4.57-9.)

I will use the following criteria to evaluate the essays:

Thesis / Claim: Strong, descriptive, original, and explicitly addresses prompt

Argument: Represents student’s own analysis of the sources. Explicitly supports thesis. Supported by evidence from the sources.

Evidence from the Sources: Student uses material that comes directly from the excerpts of primary sources provided for this assignment. Student cites this material whenever it is quoted directly AND when paraphrased or summarized.

Structure: Logical organization. Includes title, brief introduction, body, and conclusion. Clear movement from one part of argument to the next.

Writing and Mechanics: Paper is edited to eliminate spelling and grammatical errors. Paper uses full sentences with clear meaning, full paragraphs, and basic formatting:

12-point font, Times New Roman, Calibri, or similar standard font of standard size

Double-spaced, one-inch margins,

For block quotes over four lines long, single space and indent left and right margins five

spaces each (NOTE: in a short paper, avoid extended quotations to make

room for your own thought and analysis.)

Parenthetical citations

At least two full pages in length

Title and Heading: Do not use more than 2 single-spaced lines for all of this.

Style: Formal. Avoid personal pronouns “I,” “Me,” Us.” etc. Do not use contractions

such as “isn’t” or “can’t,” instead use “is not” and “cannot.”

Use consistent verb tense throughout.

I will use the following rubric:

 

Thesis / Claim	Argument	Evidence from the Sources	Structure	Writing and Mechanics
Points (0 – 4)	Points (0 – 8)	Points (0 – 10)	Points (0 – 4)	Points (0 – 4)
1A Weak thesis 1B Underdeveloped 1C Poorly organized 1D Not focused on prompt 1E Too broad	2A Confusing 2B Lacks balance 2C Unfocused 2D Misunderstood prompt 2E Lack of original thought	3A Lacks specifics 3B Irrelevant use 3C Does not support thesis 3D Not from assigned sources 3E Lack of citation	4A Poorly organized 4B Weak introduction 4C Weak body 4D Weak conclusion	5A Spelling 5B Grammar/Tense 5C Confusing sentence structure 5DInformal 5E Does not follow format guidelines
