... Executive summary After our initial meeting and several product ideas later, we agreed to follow up on a new product which was created by Chris Irwin of Premech Engineering Company. The product is a multipurpose self tipping trailer (MPT). Much more than a trailer, through, it features its own power take-off (PTO) and hydraulic system. A 6.5hp Briggs and Stratton petrol engine provides a PTO drive through a reduction gearbox on the engine. The integrated PTO drives a hydraulic pump for tipping its own trailer body or externals, such as a log splitter fitted on to the MPT. The MPT has its own brakes and a one tone payload. Secondary research was completed to ascertain what competitors existed for our product. It was found that there were two main competitors who produce and sell similar products in the market at present. These companies were Ifor Williams and Logic. Although their self tipping and self breaking trailers are similar to the Premech Engineering trailer, they all depend on the PTO shaft of the vehicle towing...

...Progress Report Group Name: EXCELF Before address our progress report, we want to discuss the reason why we had to withdraw our initial marketing project plan for Taobao. Here are 2 basic reasons: 1. Based on our survey and further research on Hong Kong people’s attitude towards online shopping, we found out that the traditional off-line shopping malls and supermarkets are still people’s first choice due to many deeply ingrained consumer habits and behaviors. Therefore, it will be super tough for us to further conduct our project. 2. After our meetings on October, we thought the concept of Taobao and online shopping had been very mature after the long-time development and their promotion. As a result, making Taobao more popular will not be interesting and creative since they’ve already had their complete and better marketing plan. And the reasons we switch our direction to a relatively smaller, fresher and more potential vibrator market can be seen in our Project Briefing.

...Alien (1979) and whether the trailer conforms or challenges the stereotypical conventions of the genres of sci-fi and horror. Conventions are all the things that make a film a particular genre. A horror film would have things like blood and gore, death, killer, victim or psychopaths for example. A sci-fi film would include things like space exploration, aliens, space ships, and good vs. evil or futuristic things. But it can always be argued because this movie is a Hybrid as it contains horror and sci-fi. When the film was released in was age rated at 18 because of the violence and gore, but compared to today standards it would have been lowered to an age rating of 15. During the trailer there are a few scenes where you see a ginger cat in a close up shot; this scene does not fall into sci-fi or horror. There are rather a few scenes in the trailer which conforms into sci-fi and horror like space suits, space ships and...

...Business Ethics and Social Responsibility Assignment 1: A-1 Trailers By: Angela Grubbs Business ethics are principles and values that govern decisions and actions within a company. Business ethics boils down to knowing the difference between right and wrong and choosing to do what is right. This essay will focus on the A-1 Trailer Company and its business ethical dilemma concerning faulty trailer hitches which has caused enormous property damage thus far but has the potential to actually kill people. In analyzing this ethical dilemma, the utilitarian and rights theories of business ethics will be explored. The utilitarian theory depends on the calculation of the total benefits and total damage that may result and will do the greatest good for the greatest number. This approach does not consider the individual. A-1 hired a law firm to calculate the losses the firm would incur if it did nothing and just settle claims. There was an estimate that 22 people would die if this approach was taken, $12M increase in insurance premiums, legal fees and etc., and recalling would cost $18M. Using this approach to make a decision would mean that you are accepting the fact that some people, estimated 22, would die. Is $12M increase in premiums and fees worth the life of 22 people? The ethical and right thing to do is to recall the trailers and spend the $18M to fix the defect. Life, even one life, is worth the cost of trying to avoid doing the right thing and looking at profits...

...The American Trucking Company has recently been experiencing an increase in stolen loads—a loaded tractor/trailer is stolen and the load sold. Loads of merchandise are often worth thousands of dollars, sometimes exceeding the value of the tractor/trailer. American Trucking, while wishing to recover both the load and equipment, seeks a way to locate the tractor/trailer at all times so they can dispatch their security team to retrieve the load before it is sold on the black market (as well as to retrieve the truck/trailer before it is vandalized). They have engaged the services of Truck Locators, a provider of locating services to the trucking industry. Truck Locator’s Truck Finder services is a one-way messaging service that routes messages from the truck on the road to the trucking companies offices. The trucking company is provided with detailed information: GPS location of both the tractor and the trailer, speed of the truck/trailer, whether the trailer doors are open, how much weight is the trailer carrying, etc. Truck Locator’s installs a dedicated hardware unit on the truck and the trailer before the Truck Finder service can be used. Customers generally sign two contracts, one governing the dale of the hardware (devices) and the other providing the provision of the service. Service contracts generally have a duration of 12 months and are billed monthly. Service and devices are sold at standard rates, but discounts are offered depending on the number of units purchased...

...Violent Computer Games What effects do such games have on aggression? Theoretical approaches • Idea of catharsis: “The occurrence of any act of aggression is assumed to reduce the instigation to aggress.” (Dollard et al., 1939; p. 50) further violence is less likely • • The frustration-aggression hypothesis (Dollard et al., 1939) Unspecific release of aggressive energy (Lorenz, 1974) Exemplary Evidence - Violent Computer Games • Watching a trailer for a violent computer game causes higher aggression-related judgments (Möller & Krahé, 2006) Playing violent computer games increases hostility (Anderson & Ford, 1986) • • Playing violent computer games increases the accessibility of aggression-related constructs and aggressive behavior (Anderson & Dill, 2000) No valid empirical evidence for catharsis after violent computer games. Accessibility from Semantic Sources • • Subliminally primed aggression-related constructs lead to higher aggressiveness ratings. (Bargh & Pietromonaco, 1982) Unconsciously activated aggression causes more aggressive behavior. (Bargh, Chen, & Burrows, 1996) Weapon effect: Presence of aggression-related cues increases accessibility of aggression-related constructs.

...Performance and Risk Strategy Assignment 1 (21/02/2013) MNV Ngwana 201004317 TO: Board of Directors Date: 21 February 2013 From: MNV Ngwana Subject: Risk and Risk Management of Bulldog Trailers 1.1 Bulldog Trailers are currently dominating the market for off-road trailers with a share of 34%. Although they are the current leaders in the Market, management should be aware of competitor risks that the company could be facing in the near future due to the rising of input costs. The company’s profitability is at stake as the company does not want to pass the increases on local customers. Since 60% of Bulldog’s sales are generated locally this percentage may drop if their customers diverge to their closest rivals in the market if the price increase is imposed on them. Bulldog is currently using the Just-In-Time inventory system in order to minimise inventory holding. One of the biggest challenges of using the JIT system is responding to the periods of high product demand. Because production begins with customer orders, if orders outpace production, customers may have to wait for products. As raw materials are ordered from suppliers only when they are needed to fulfill an order, any delays that the manufacturer experiences are passed along to the customer. Due to the recent load shedding that Bulldog Trailers Ltd has been experiencing from Eskom, their production levels have drastically dropped. There is a possibility that they would have a product risk that...

...Assignment 4: Letsgo Travel Trailer Coachman industries, a direct Letsgo competitor has reduced its material cost by more than 60% and labor cost by 78% by using creative engineering and high accuracy analysis. On the other hand, the Letsgo Travel Trailer Company is experiencing challenges with quality, cash flow and a performance review and reward system. This is happening due to lack of integrative planning across different functions. Each functional unit is trying to maximize their own performance, which in turn is hampering the overall performance. The current appraisal and reward system is increasing this isolated and non-cooperative working of the different functional units. ▪ The sales department to improve their sales want to have high finished goods inventory ▪ The production department wants to have high inventory of raw material to have uninterrupted production schedule. They are not interested in implementation of Just-in-time inventory methods to reduce the overall cost. ▪ The current control and reporting system does not provide enough good quality data to guide management decision process. For example, no record for work in process is kept in the company. ▪ The accounts department is making the budget without getting any information from functional units. This way the budgets are not realistic and reflect only an accounting necessity rather than a decision making and control tool. ▪ The cash management system of the company...
