...Average weight of berries in truck 75 bbls Total Dumping capacity 5 * 75 * 60 / 7.5 = 3000 bbls/hr Holding Capacity Total capacity of bins numbered 1-16 250*16 = 4000 bbls Total capacity of bins numbered 17-24 250*8 = 2000 bbls Total capacity of bins numbered 25,26,27 400 * 3 = 1200 bbls Destoning Capacity 1500bbls/hr x 3 = 4500 bbls / hr Dechaffing capacity 1500bbls/hr x 3 = 4500 bbls / hr Drying Capacity 200bbls/hr x 3 = 600bbls/hr Therefore, we can see that the drying stage is the bottleneck. 5. Overtime issue on peak day: total wet berries in one peak day: 18340bbls x 70% = 12838bbls processing rate: 600bbls/hr (bottle neck) total working hours = 12838bbls / 600bbls/hr = 21.4 hrs overtime = 21.4hrs - 12hrs = 9.4 hrs. (We found that two shifts can help with the situation, which means that the workers will work 16 hours a day (7am-3pm, and 3pm - 11pm). And in this scenario, overtime should be 21.4 hrs - 16hrs = 5.4hrs.) 6. Truck waiting We assume that trucks starts arriving at 7am, and we already knew the bottle neck will be the drying stage only for wet berries, so Inventory piled up rate = rate of wet berries needed to be processed - processing rate of bottle neck = 18340bbls x 70% / 12 hrs - 600bbls/hr = 1070bbls / hr - 600bbls / hr = 470bbls / hr (a barrel of cranberries weighs 100lbs) And we know bins #17 - #27 (total 11 bins) can hold 3200bbls, so we can get how long wet berries will be filled in the bins. 3200bbls / 470bbls/hr = 6.8 hrs, which means...

...I viewed a play from the Oliver National Theatre in London broadcasted on the 31st of January 2015. The name of this play is ‘A Small Family Business’. It began at 7:30pm at the Eileen L.

The play is about Jack McCracken and his entrepreneurial greed after taking over his father-in-law’s business. Upon his takeover he is approached by a private detective named Mr. Benedict Hough, who has knowledge of some compromising information. He later then realizes that his extended family is known thieves and adulterers who plunders the business from their home. It then concludes with a small housewarming party with their trouble, Mr Hough, dead. The acting was a little more developed than I thought. It was on-point in some areas and in others not so good. At first I thought Niky Wardley, the character Anita McCracken, was over acting but u then realized that that was supposed to be the kind of character she was; boastful. At some point in time Poppy’s back was shown to the audience. I liked the character Samantha McCracken. Her part was played very well. I noticed in the end and beginning...

As the President of your fledgling startup - Optimal Software, you have to make a decision tomorrow on where to allocate your resources. Optimal has been working on two projects – one in the Business Intelligence (BI) Domain and the other in the Retail vertical. With both of these domains now in the popular limelight, you can earn a good profit per hour for projects in both these areas. BI projects can earn USD 97.50 per module in profits and Retail projects can earn USD 95.00 per module. BI modules usually require 10 hours of Systems Analysis and 40 hours of programming, while the Retail modules require 20 hours of Systems Analysis and 30 hours of programming. Each of these two types of projects relies primarily on two types of resources – Systems Analysts and Programmers. You currently have 3 systems analysts on your payroll and 6 programmers. Your company policy dictates that people will work for 200 hours per month. Presuming that market demand is not a bottleneck at this stage – and that every dollar counts for your new startup, how should you allocate resources to the two domain areas so as to maximize your revenue. 12 modules of BI and 24 modules of retail vertical will give the maximum revenue of $3450 BI Retail Verical One module profit 97.5 One module profit...

...Emily Ivey Dr. Chase The Hours analysis 7 November 2005 The Gay Disease Michael Cunningham’s novel The Hours depicts a day in the life of Mrs. Dalloway author Virginia Woolf, fifties housewife Laura Brown, and nineties publisher Clarissa Vaughn who, along with other complex characters, Woolf’s husband Leonard and Vaughn’s best friend Richard intermingle to create a story with a strong message about the treatment of disease especially among the homosexual community. Only after applying Deconstructionist literary theory does Cunningham’s comment on the plight of the homosexual reveal itself. When examining the story from a Deconstructionist viewpoint, Clarissa Vaughn acts as Richard’s binary opposite. When Clarissa and Richard first meet in the story, Clarissa brings Richard flowers, a traditionally masculine role. Richard, in contrast, is describes as having a mind “eaten to lace,” a decidedly feminine image and Clarissa equates his home to “the hold of a sunken ship” a yonic image further depicting Richard as the female in the scene. If, in the novel, the female Clarissa was a literary genius suffering from AIDS feminist literary critics would have dubbed her “the mad woman in the attic;” however, this “mad woman in the attic” concept applies instead to Richard the homosexual man in the story. By applying this feminist terminology to Richard, Cunningham compares the plight of the artistically repressed woman of the 19th century to the...

...There are some events on people’s lives that make an impact in them and change their perspective of the world. It can be something full of happiness like a graduation or a wedding, but it can also be something tragic and overwhelming such as the death of a family member. The Moths is a story written by Helena Maria Viramontes. In this story, the narrator is a little girl who has suffered a lot in her life. She suffers an unidentified disease on her hands and her grandmother provides her with comfort and helps her feel better. The story ends with the death of her grandmother. The author develops the personality of the protagonist through the story. At first, she doesn’t feel any relationship with her family members except with her grandmother, but by the end of the story there is a feeling that the girl has changed. The protagonist of the story has a really strong personality, but at the same time she is weak against the world. The problem that she has on her hands has made her a target and people often make fun of her. “ While my sisters laughed and called me bull hands..So I began keeping a piece of jagged brick in my sock to bash my sisters or anyone who called me bull hands” ( Viramontes 1177)She had to develop a strong personality to be able to stand up for herself against the others, but this has made her emotionally weak.

...As mortals with limited time on this Earth, humans are faced with the inescapable and inevitable subject of death. In the essay “The Death of a Moth”, by Virginia Woolf, the author depicts the struggle of life and death as an impossible battle to win. Woolf utilizes rhetorical devices such as tone, diction, structure, and imagery to convey this message and invoke the feeling of pity and despair in her reader. As the tone shifts throughout the piece, Woolf’s stylistic choices strengthen her tone and further support her philosophy that death cannot be beat. Woolf maintains a desperate and hopeless underlying tone throughout the literary piece and further develops it in relation to the surface tone of subtle indifference and fascination. Both...
