...Ashley Martin Case 13- Lean implementation and supply chain development at Oak Hills 10/03/13 1. What are the specific quality problems Oak Hills is facing, and how will they influence the company’s ability to convert to a lean system? * One major problem of Oak Hills processes is their internal customers and suppliers. BlackDome, an internal supplier of Oak Hills, was often late on deliveries but attributed this to rush orders placed by Oak Hills internal customer E&E. The internal processes between units are lacking effective communication between E&E and Oak Hills. E&E does not provide Oak Hills with information concerning their current or impending projects, so Oak Hills know little about what projects require the testing instruments that they supplied them. * Another problem was the fact that E&E customers were used to the luxury of placing rush orders. There for the plant had to maintain a high level of raw materials inventory on-site, costing them space and money. * Another problem is their use of the batch flow system. * They need to locate production and warehousing facilities closer to their customers. * Require suppliers to deliver smaller quantities, more frequently. In order for Oak Hills to implement a successful lean system there must be improved communication between its’ internal units. Oak Hills needs to require E&E unit to forecast their demand more accurately, so they can reduce the amount of expedited orders, and be...

...Oak Hill Regional Hospital of Spring Hill, Florida. On the 10th of October 2015 I started my first day of volunteering at the hospital. I worked with several elderly patients. Some on more personal level than others. I enjoyed participating, interacting and organizing in activities. My goals are to provide inspiration for those who want the same path as I do, provide healing for those in need of it and as well discover my own talents that I was unaware of. I always had an active role in helping others and making sure of their well-being. In Oak Hill Hospital I was a patient floor volunteer, it was a great experience especially due to the career I’m striving for. Although the funds that weigh me down within my career, I attend many events,...

...prospective college student may choose a school based on the programs offered that would aid towards their career path, the student may want to study abroad, they may want to be outside of the normal environmental climate, or simply just because they want to establish life in a specific area. But who is to say that the community in which the education is received in is also a big part of the student’s life. The interaction between the student and the surrounding neighborhood can be very crucial to an extent. Whatever the case may be location is a key aspect when choosing an education system for your needs. However there have been instances where this correlation may not have turned out to be the best for some families. To be precise in the last two decades there was an urban renewal project that took place in the city of New Haven, Connecticut. This particular area called The Hill was undergoing gentrification rapidly. In the documentary called The Hill, we saw how the processes of urban redevelopment was carried out in this city. About 123 houses were demolished to make space for a new school in the city of New Haven. But at the same...

...Kingsford: To Grill or Not to Grill? That’s not even a question. While certainly not politically correct by modern standards, this photo-illustration reflects the pervasive presence grilling has held in the United States since the 1950s when the Weber Kettle Grill and increasing suburbanization made it a defacto standard of American living. Then again, our modern American stereotype would have a man holding tongs in one hand and a beer in another standing at the grill, which is also not only incorrect, but not fully reflective of modern grilling. But yes, that is a real Kingsford bag. (Photo Illustration by Sandy Kreps) Team 3 Marketing Case Analysis Executive Summary The Kingsford brand of charcoal has found success through favorable conditions in its market traditionally, however conditions are now less favorable. A reduction in the charcoal market is affecting Kingsford even though its charcoal market share has increased. The consumer shifting trend from charcoal to gas grilling is now the primary threat to Kingsford and the charcoal market, and to combat this an action plan includes tight control on pricing, new pro-charcoal advertizing campaigns, and increased partnership with retailers and distributes. Conditions appear favorable for resurgence for Kingsford through these strategies. Introduction Clorox is a well known and historic house-hold brand, known primarily for home cleaning products. Founded in 1913, the company initially serviced the business...

...NATIONAL CENTER FOR CASE STUDY TEACHING IN SCIENCE A Case of Acute Pancreatitis by David F. Dean Department of Biology, Spring Hill College Case Presentation George Hendrix is a 38-year-old man who has abused alcohol his entire adult life. Recently, following an episode of binge drinking, George experienced a gradual onset of pain in his upper abdomen that radiated to his back. The pain persisted for several hours and worsened each time that he ate. He also felt nauseous and experienced repeated episodes of vomiting. The pain grew more intense and George decided to drive himself to the emergency room of his local hospital. The physician who examined George in the ER noted the following findings when she performed a physical exam: Intense pain upon palpation of the upper left quadrant of the abdominal cavity, gaseous distension of the intestinal tract, and tachycardia. The physical exam findings, together with the history of alcohol abuse and the results of a CBC, serum chemistry panel, and abdominal ultrasound, led the physician to conclude that George was suffering from a case of acute pancreatitis.

...encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. (January 2012) In the social sciences and life sciences, a case study (or case report) is a descriptive, exploratory or explanatory analysis of a person, group or event. An explanatory case study is used to explore causation in order to find underlying principles.[1][2] Case studies may be prospective (in which criteria are established and cases fitting the criteria are included as they become available) or retrospective (in which criteria are established for selecting cases from historical records for inclusion in the study). Thomas[3] offers the following definition of case study: "Case studies are analyses of persons, events, decisions, periods, projects, policies, institutions, or other systems that are studied holistically by one or more methods. The case that is the subject of the inquiry will be an instance of a class of phenomena that provides an analytical frame — an object — within which the study is conducted and which the case illuminates and explicates." Another suggestion is that case study should be defined as a research strategy, an empirical inquiry that investigates a phenomenon within its real-life context. Case study research can mean single and multiple case studies, can include quantitative evidence, relies on multiple sources of evidence, and benefits from the prior development of theoretical propositions. Case studies should not be confused with qualitative research and they can be based on any mix of quantitative...

...Research Design The study will use Focus Group Discussion as its research design. A focus group is a group of people, led by a trained moderator, who meets by 90 minutes to 2 hours. The facilitator uses or moderator uses group dynamics principles to focus or guide the group in an exchange of ideas, feelings, and experiences on a specific topic. The data gathered after the discussion can be used in evaluating particular issues. FGD data can be used to evaluating particular issues. The researchers chose Focus Group Discussion as a medium of the research as the face to face involvement of qualified participants may be of help to gather data on how scholarships are implemented by other learning institutions. FGD will give the researcher ideas on how to analyze the research problem. The discussion may be of help to explore the meanings of survey findings that cannot be explained statistically. Construct Validity Construct Validity is an assessment of how well ideas theories are translated into actual programs or measures. The researchers aim to gather opinion from AGSB Students on how features of SYLFF and Star Scholars can be adopted by AGSB. Construct Validity can be achieved by formulating questions that can be used in gathering information from the respondents through FGD. The following questions will be asked to the participants for the FGD: 1. The researcher would like to propose a scholarship program which adopts some of the features of Star Scholars of...

...Unit 5: Assignment Joyce Ann Craig Kaplan University CJ101: Introduction to the Criminal Justice System Prof: Douglas Robinson March 10,2015 1.) What is due process? Due process is fair treatment through the normal judicial system, especially as a citizen's entitlement. Is part of the Bill of rights and is the Fifth Amendment (No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. George Mason, December 15, 1791). 2.) Why is due process such a central notion in American criminal justice? The due process is such a central notion in the American criminal justice because the process in witch an assortment of tasks are to be carried out and they could be anything from filing court papers, serving legal documents and document retrieval. The main principal of the job is to deliver legal documents to the other person which is known as the defendant. 3.) What would our justice system be like without due process?
