Space Age Furniture Company

The Space Age Furniture Company manufactures tables and cabinets to hold microwave ovens and portable televisions. These products are made in various sizes and with various features, but all follow basically the same production and assembly operations. However, two of these productsthe Saturn microwave stand and the Gemini TV standhave a part (no. 3079) that requires machining on a special lathe used only for making that part. At present the machine is run by Ed Szewczak, a machinist who also operates other machines in Space Age\\\”s shop. Once set up and started, the lathe can run nearly unattended. However, the machinist must be present (even if not actually attending the machine) any time one of the machines, including the lathe, is in operation. At present, Ed works a regular 40-hour week. However, due to the workload for producing part 3079, it has been necessary to schedule frequent overtime for him in order to finish the necessary parts on time.

Coral Snodgrass, operations manager for Space Age, has just heard from Ed\\\”s foremen that Ed is becoming unhappy about so much overtime. As Coral knows, Ed has been with the company a long time and is an excellent, reliable employee. Skilled machinists with Ed\\\”s experience and employment record are extremely difficult to find. Coral wonders what can be done to alleviate this problem.

Recently, Space Age began using an MRP system that has helped reduce inventories greatly and improve on-time deliveries. In fact, Space Age carries no finished-goods inventory. Instead, everything in the master schedule is being produced for customer orders, so all products are shipped almost immediately. Previously Space Age had estimated that it cost $1.25 per week to store each Gemini and $1.50 per week to store each Saturn that wasn\\\”t shipped immediately. The master schedule for producing these two items for the next six weeks is shown below.

Master Schedule

The part in question, 3079, is used in two different subassemblies: no. 435, which is used in the Gemini TV stand, and no. 257, which is used in the Saturn microwave stand. One of part 3079 is used in each subassembly, and one of each subassembly is used in each of the final products.

Part 3079 may be produced in any quantity since the lathe that makes it is not used for anything else. However, both of the subassemblies are produced using the same equipment. To minimize change over time, Space Age has decided that these subassemblies should be made in minimum quantities of 1,000 at a time, although there is no problem with capacity on the equipment that makes them. In fact, an order for 1,000 of subassembly 435 is due to be received in week 1, as is an order for 1,000 of subassembly 257. Lead time for both these subassemblies is one week, and no inventory is expected to be on hand for either part at the beginning of week 1. There is not any on-hand inventory of part 3079, and there are no orders in process.

Ed Szewczak earns $22 per hour and gets a 50% premium for any overtime work. Whenever part 3079 is made, there is no set-up time, but processing takes 0.03 hour per unit. It costs $0.25 per week to hold any of these parts over from one week to the next. The cost of holding each subassembly in inventory is $0.75 per unit per week.

What options are open to Coral to address this problem?
How would reducing the minimum quantity of subassemblies help?
What are the costs of carrying excess items in inventory at each stage?
What is the trade-off between overtime costs and inventory costs?

How Public health delivery has been impacted by marketisation, privatisation and/or other elements of New Public Management (NPM)? Identify the goals and projected outcomes of the NPM reform process in this field of service delivery. Make an argument and draw conclusions about the advantages and disadvantages of this reform process, having particular regard to accountability challenges and the likelihood that the desired outcomes will be achieved.This case will be based in the marketisation and NPM of the delivery of health care services in Norway, Turkey and Australia (base literature will be attached for these three countries, you will have to look for more). You need to get specific and explain which health care services you are talking about ans how the differences are manifested in practice. You should include especific literature related to each country and more general literature about New Public Management (NPM).Some concepts you should analyse:- Governance structure: identified the role of networks, how public sector steer and guided these “quasi markets” or “public markets”, the involvement of private and third sector actors.- Metagovernance: the importance of metagovernance when the government is less involved, how they manage the private-public mix in the long term.- Stakeholders: implications for the public health professionals (Newman, 2009), the public health receivers and the new investors (public or private).- Possible reform’s consequences: less universalism (in the Turkey case) (Agartan, 2012), commodification (in the Norway case) (Neby, 2016).References-Agartan, T.

For my college admission essay I need to explain the event that marked my transition from childhood to adulthood. The event that marked my transition was a summer program at the Liberty Science Center. I worked as a volunteer and gain a lot of incite of the real world through this experience. This essay must be a creative writing and should be written on a personal level.

I would like the essay to be based off this introduction that I have written:
I walked into the train. Excited, nervous, and perplexed. I couldnt help but feel out of place. The individuals who surrounded me were suited in work attire. And there was me, in a pair of jeans, nike sneakers, and a white t-shirt. I was an outcast, a needle in a haystack. In the corner of my eyes, I envisioned figures in black and white, glaring at me as I walk through the aisle. To these figures, it was a daily routine. But, to me, it was more than that. It was the day that marked a new chapter in my life. Sitting in a train to Hoboken, I embarked on a five week summer program with the Liberty Science Center.

We are consistently confronted with persuasion techniques through the media and our interactions with others even when we may not be aware of it. Describe an example of a time you were subject to a persuasion technique (e.g., bait and switch at a car lot) and how you responded. Would you have responded differently had you known more about the nature of persuasion? Why or why not?
