Appendix works

I’m trying to study for my Management course and I need some help to understand this question.

Michael Scott, a recent graduate with a degree in management, is planning to open a coffee shop on the campus of Southwestern Oklahoma State University. You will help Michael develop a production and operations business plan for the shop. Use the tools learned in your POM class to analyze the following scenarios, apply mathematical reasoning, and develop recommendations. You will present your recommendations in a formal report at the end of the semester.

Appendix A: Chapter 1 – Productivity

  • Open a new Excel file and name it “Final Project Appendices – Your Name”. Create a worksheet named “Appendix A”.
  • Complete the problem below as shown in examples using similar formatting.
  • Insert a text box explaining your answer and recommendation.
  • Name and show all variables.
  • Must use Excel formulas when calculating your answers.
  • Take all numbers to two decimals.
  • Add a Header on the Appendix A worksheet (left – name, center- “Appendix A”, right – date)
  • Submit to Canvas prior to the due date and time.

Michael is considering how many baristas he should hire in order to achieve the appropriate level of productivity given speculated demand. The coffee shop will be open between the hours of 6 am and 8 pm daily. Michael is considering whether he should have one or two baristas on duty each day. One barista would be able to produce 10 specialty drinks in an hour while managing other duties (working register, clean up, etc.). Two baristas would be able to produce a total of 25 specialty drinks in an hour. Use Single-Factor Productivity Measurement to compare Michael’s options. Calculate the percent difference in productivity between one or two baristas.

Additionally, Michael is considering whether to purchase a standard espresso machine or a deluxe espresso machine. The daily overhead expenses with the standard machine is $150 while the daily overhead for the deluxe machine is $200. Two workers could produce 25 specialty drinks per hour with the standard machine and 35 specialty drinks in an hour with the deluxe machine. The baristas are paid $8 per hour. Use multifactor productivity measurement to compare the espresso machine options. Your factors are labor hours and overhead. Compare percent change in productivity between the two options.

Demand will affect Michael’s final decision. Which options result in higher productivity? What do you recommend?

Project 3 Uninformed opinions are usually based on assumptions we’ve never really examined. Examples of popular assumptions that are largely unexamined include: 1. “Bottled water is safer and better

Project 3 

Uninformed opinions are usually based on assumptions we’ve never really examined. Examples of popular assumptions that are largely unexamined include: 

1. “Bottled water is safer and better for us than tap water.” 2. “Forest fires should always be prevented or suppressed immediately.” 3. “The fewer germs in their environment, the healthier the children.” 4. “The more soy we eat, the better.” 

Identify and examine any one popular assumption for accuracy.  

For example, you might tackle the bottle water assumption by visiting the FDA website <www.fda.gov> and the Sierra Club site <www.sierra.org> for starters. Also take a look at the Sierra Club’s twitter feed: <www.twitter.com/Sierra_Club>. Trace the sites and links to get the information and write up your findings in a memo. 

The memo must be 2 pages double-spaced and be sure to attach a Works Cited page as well.

Project 4 

You own a small new-and-used book store and café with free wireless Internet access. You enjoy the calm, quiet atmosphere of your store and like that your customers choose your store to conduct business, socialize with friends, or just enjoy a good book and a cup of coffee. 

Increasingly, many customers have been talking on their cell phones – very loudly and in places where they shouldn’t be. They hold up the order line by talking on the phone when they should be talking to the cashier. They disrupt others who are enjoying the quiet atmosphere to work or read. Sure, customers who are working on the computer may need to talk on the phone, but must these customers be so loud and disruptive that those across the room who are trying to read can hear their conversations?

Many customers have actually complained. You want to make these customers happy but not at the expense of making your cell phone users unhappy. 

Write a cell phone use policy for your store. This policy will be displayed throughout the store. Attach to your solution a cover note explaining where and how the notice will be distributed.This cover note is only for the employees of your cafe. 

The cover note must be no more than one-page and the cell phone policy must preferably be just a few sentences. Be creative with your words. 

Remember: This project has 2 parts – the cover note is like a memo (remember the formatting of a memo) and the policy is like a banner/sign (be creative and colorful here – it needs to be catchy).

Can you help me understand this Nursing question?

In the modern era, there are few professions that do not to some extent rely on data. Stockbrokers rely on market data to advise clients on financial matters. Meteorologists rely on weather data to forecast weather conditions, while realtors rely on data to advise on the purchase and sale of property. In these and other cases, data not only helps solve problems, but adds to the practitioner’s and the discipline’s body of knowledge.

Of course, the nursing profession also relies heavily on data. The field of nursing informatics aims to make sure nurses have access to the appropriate date to solve healthcare problems, make decisions in the interest of patients, and add to knowledge.

In this Discussion, you will consider a scenario that would benefit from access to data and how such access could facilitate both problem-solving and knowledge formation.

To Prepare:

  • Reflect on the concepts of informatics and knowledge work as presented in the Resources.
  • Consider a hypothetical scenario based on your own healthcare practice or organization that would require or benefit from the access/collection and application of data. Your scenario may involve a patient, staff, or management problem or gap.

Post a description of the focus of your scenario. Describe the data that could be used and how the data might be collected and accessed. What knowledge might be derived from that data? How would a nurse leader use clinical reasoning and judgment in the formation of knowledge from this experience?

The citizens of Ruritania are prodigious consumers of marmite. They can buy it from one of two sellers: Omni Corp (OCP) or the Umbrella Corporation.

The citizens of Ruritania are prodigious consumers of marmite. They can buy it from one of two

sellers: Omni Corp (OCP) or the Umbrella Corporation. The marmite sold by each is identical to

the other but for color of the packaging. OCP sells its marmite in a red package while Umbrella

sells its marmite in a green package. Competition between the two rms follows the Cournot

model. The inverse demand curve for marmite is p = 50 – q;

where q is the total amount of marmite produced by OCP and Umbrella.The production costs

consists of two components. The rst is processing, while the second comes from the price of the

main ingredient. OCP has a constant marginal cost of processing of $2 a unit while Umbrella has

a constant marginal processing cost of $4 a unit.

The main ingredient of marmite is Soylent green which is sold by a monopolist, Soylent Corp.

Soylent Corp enjoys a constant marginal cost of production for Soylent Green of $0 a unit. It

requires 1 unit of Soylent Green to produce 1 unit of either OCP’s or Umbrella’s marmite. Soylent

Corp charges OCP and Umbrella a wholesale price of w per unit of Soylent Green.

1. Let qO be the quantity of marmite produced by OCP and let qU be the quantity of marmite

produced by Umbrella. Write down an expression for OCP’s prot as a function of qO; qU

and w.

2. Determine OCP’s reaction function in terms of qU and w.

3. Determine Umbrella’s reaction function in terms of qO and w.

4. Determine the equilibrium amounts of marmite produced by each rm as a function of w.

5. What value of w will maximize Soylent Corp.’s prot?

6. The CEO of Soylent Corp thinks her prots would be larger if there were no competition in

the Marmite market. She decides to stop selling to Umbrella, eectively making OCP the

monopoly supplier of marmite. What will Soylent Corp.’s maximum prot be under this

regime? In particular will Soylent Corp. be better o?
