...Overview In this plan, I will describe the process of creating a WAN for ACME Manufacturing. ACME Manufacturing has six buildings in different locations that need to be on the same network. Headquarters and the other remote locations of ACME Manufacturing share the need for constant communication with each other. Atlanta, Georgia, is the home of ACME manufacturing where they have another building across the street, their engineering facility. The other locations are in Phoenix, Chicago, New York, and China. Network Setup and Connections The LAN setup in Atlanta for the headquarters and engineering buildings will use a logical choice of routers and Ethernet cables. Using routers and Ethernet cables will provide speedy data transfer rates and reliability without costing ACME manufacturing exuberant amount money. The three distribution locations in Phoenix, Chicago, and New York will use satellite connections to their headquarters in Atlanta. The last connection is the manufacturing plant in China wills also use a satellite connection to connect to headquarters back in the United States. After to some thought of what topology to use, a star topology looks to be the best choice for ACME manufacturing. (See Figure 1) All locations will connect with headquarters by either satellite or T1. Headquarters as the central location of the WAN will benefit the network administrator by giving him or her more control of the network. ACME manufacturing benefit from using...

...Acme’s headquarter located in Atlanta, Georgia and quickly expanding to China and then across the United States, Acme Manufacturing is a top tier company that in turn needs a top tier WAN network to help tie together it’s various locations. Along with Acme’s many other needs they also want to install a telecommunications technology like PBX or VoIP to facilitate interoffice communication. Acme Manufacturing wants to build its network on the principles of security and usability. The following is an outline of the recommendations for their WAN implementation for this company. Network Design 1. Topology The first consideration for Acme’s new network is the topology to be used. The Atlanta office serves as Acme’s headquarters and because the company is quickly expanding across the globe I believe that the star topology is the most suited for their needs. Star networks are easily expanded upon and doing so does not interrupt the other locations. Centralized administration is a strong selling point for this topology as well. A powerful mainframe computer and an array of Cisco Catalyst switches will serve as the network’s hub. Figure 1 below represents the proposed WAN topology: Figure 1- Proposed Acme WAN topology Figure 1- Proposed Acme WAN topology ATL (HQ) T1 T1 T1 PHX CHI CHINA NY ATL (HQ) T1 T1 T1 PHX CHI CHINA NY 2. Connection Types Acme should strongly consider leasing fractional T1 lines to connect its hub location to each of the offices in Phoenix...

Two of the headquarters are situated in Atlanta, Georgia. In these two building located across the street from one another, one of these is the head office building and the other is the engineering building. Logical Network Setup and Locations Interconnection A LAN setup having routers and Ethernet wires will be the selection. This is a sensible selection since the speeds of the network will be significantly greater and consequently will lead to a reduced amount of expense. Other three places are the distribution offices that are situated in Chicago, Phoenix, and New York. Satellite communication will be the selected form of link with the head office building. The final division is the plant facility that is situated in China. For this, developing satellite as well will be utilized to interact to the headquarters network. On an overall note, all places must be interconnected that allows function flow between each other. This lets simple interaction to be achieved for specific requirements, for orders and manufacturing. Moreover, it reduces substandard interaction that happens in delivering messages.

...Lamp Place Incorporated Logistics Plan | Prepared for Scott Bennie - TMDT 1150 & James Peterson - COMM 2200 | April 10, 2011 Tom (Zaiyi) Liu INTT 2A | Executive summary Our consulting firm has been hired to assist Lamp Place Incorporated (LPI) with a product roll out in Canada. LPI wants to test the viability of the Canadian market by introducing a Prestige line of lamps. Previously, the lamps are being produced by an Indian supplier, who ships four containers of lamps (1,536 cartons) on a weekly basis to the Port of Halifax. After the arrival of these containers at the Port of Halifax, the lamps are then transferred to each of the LPI’s contracted distribution centres through rail and truck. The total cost of this whole process is $24,439 per week, or $1,270,815 per year. Currently, a new supplier based in Montreal has been identified as a comparable alternative to the India supplier. The Montreal supplier offers the same product with $8.10 higher unit price. But the transportation costs are significant lower, as it only costs LPI $11,000 per week and $572,000 per year. One thing to note is that, the Montreal supplier uses a 53’ container to transport the product; therefore, there will be a possibility of 100 more lamps to be shipped with every container. After an analysis both of the suppliers of their cost, convenience, environmental...

...How to Create a Marketing Plan Part 1 - Introduction Firms that are successful in marketing invariably start with a marketing plan. Large companies have plans with hundreds of pages; small companies can get by with a halfdozen sheets. Put your marketing plan in a three-ring binder. Refer to it at least quarterly, but better yet monthly. Leave a tab for putting in monthly reports on sales/manufacturing; this will allow you to track performance as you follow the plan. The plan should cover one year. For small companies, this is often the best way to think about marketing. Things change, people leave, markets evolve, and customers come and go. Later on we suggest creating a section of your plan that addresses the medium- term future—two to four years down the road. But the bulk of your plan should focus on the coming year. You should allow yourself a couple of months to write the plan, even if it's only a few pages long. Developing the plan is the "heavy lifting" of marketing. While executing the plan has its challenges, deciding what to do and how to do it is marketing's greatest challenge. Most marketing plans kick off with the first of the year or with the opening of your fiscal year if it's different. Who should see your plan? All the players in the company. Firms typically keep their marketing plans very, very private for one of two very different reasons: Either they're too skimpy and management would be embarrassed to have them see the light of day, or they're solid and...
