...6-1 The famous Y. S. Chang Restaurant is open 24 hours a day. Waiters and busboys report for duty at 3am, 7am, 11am, 3pm, 7pm, or 11pm, and each works an 8-hour shift. The following table shows the minimum number of workers needed during the six periods into which the day is divided. Chang’s scheduling problem is to determine how many waiters and busboys should report for work at the start of each time period to minimize the total staff required for one day’s operation. (Hint: Let Xi equal the number of waiters and busboys beginning work in time period i, where i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.) If Chang’s were able to reduce the number of required waiters and busboys by 1 during some period, during which period should they make the reduction? Period | Time | Number of Waiters and Busboys Required | 1 | 3am-7am | 3 | 2 | 7am-11am | 12 | 3 | 11am-3pm | 17 | 4 | 3pm-7pm | 11 | 5 | 7pm-11pm | 12 | 6 | 11pm-3am | 4 | In the QM, Let X1 = Number of waiters and busboys at period 1 Let X2 = Number of waiters and busboys at period 2 Let X3 = Number of waiters and busboys at period 3 Let X4 = Number of waiters and busboys at period 4 Let X5 = Number of waiters and busboys at period 5 Let X6 = Number of waiters and busboys at period 6 Period 1 = 3 Period 2 = 14 Period 3 = 3 Period 4 = 8 Period 5 = 4 Period 6 = 0 Period 1, 3 and 5 drop from total 32 workers to 31 each if any of those 3 periods required minimum is reduce by 1. The period I choose (if have...

...what was done during our class session. It involved us participating in various activities that would require us to rely on the knowledge and expertise of the other members of the group that we were randomly assigned to. This training session however would be different because of the various cultures, backgrounds, and personalities represented. | The first team training exercise was a game called charades. It required us to learn how to converse with others without the use of words or sounds. We had to compete against the other team, and whoever guessed the most words correctly won the game. This particular exercise teaches the value of clear communication between team members and aids in building relationships. Trusting our ability to read body language was the next challenge and it was the most difficult. We would not only have to guess which person of the opposite team held a coin in their hand but which hand specifically. During this game, we did not trust in one of our members’ judgments and as a team, we should consider everyone’s opinion within the group. If one person has the ability to read body language, we should follow the advice of that team member since they have used their expertise to guess correctly. This is where trust is developed within the group members and is displayed in the support of the final decision. The last challenge took us uphill. During this activity, we had to strategize a way of allowing our team members to fit into a circle that...

...helps with staying organized, eliminating idle time and allows for planning ahead. The creation and use of a schedule reduces the stress about what task an individual must do next. By having time designated for certain activities, a schedule helps prevent forgetting tasks as well as rushing through other tasks. A schedule helps allot time for school work and business activities and leaves an individual in charge of what they want to do and when they want to do it. As a student, one should be reasonable about business growth by prioritizing and designating only a few hours a week for business activities. It is practical to begin by establishing a small scaled business while in school, with the intention of expanding later when more time is available. Ways to Create a Schedule There are a number of different ways a schedule can be created and many tools that make it a simple task. Many online websites can generate a schedule once input is entered such as Google Calendars which can instantly create a schedule that manages your time. If you are an owner of a Smartphone, applications, such as Tungle Me and Smart Time, can also be useful. However, the most effective schedules are made personally by an individual since they have consideration of activities that take place in their own lives. Research on working effectively shows that most people work best by working intensely for...

...Never Enough Time A day consists of 24 hours. Somehow this is never sufficient amount of time to complete all task or activities needed to be done in a person’s life. Some of these task and activities include work, school, personal lives, and just everyday life duties. It is these activities that can lead a person to stress and anxiety because not everything can be accomplished in a daily basis. Time management can be the answer to help complete daily activities and eliminate stress brought on by this. Time management is a discipline that sometimes accompanied by many failures. When taken seriously, the rewards will be found and worth the effort (Repak). Time consist of taking care of a family by a single parent or parents, maintaining a home, working a full-time job, and attending college to maintain a degree. Within trying to take care of these tasks, there are still smaller task that must be done. However, besides attending to these particular matters, a person must also find time relax and get sleep. To resolve the problem of finding time to do all the activities that are required to be completed daily, a person must have good time management skills. The struggle of time management is not simply a case of cutting back or acquiring new skills because the exhaustion and fatigue that a person feels has a connection on so many areas of life – our relationships, disposition, availability, etc (Repak). Time management skills can help aid in keeping a person on schedule...

...Katherine Lund Unit 5 Assignment PA350 Social Security and Disability Law April 1, 2014 Step 1: Work Test-Is the claimant working and earning more than substantial gainful activity? Johnny Superton is working for his brother’s lawn mower shop and getting paid $320.00 per week which equals $1,376.00 per month. This is over the $1070.00 amount that Social Security has set in place for substantial gainful activity. Therefore, he would be denied benefits in step 1 of the SSA’s five step Sequential Evaluation Process for Determining Disability. Step 2: Severity Test- Does the claimant have a severe impairment that significantly limits his or her ability to do basic work activities and that also meets the duration requirements? Johnny Superton does have a severe impairment that significantly limits his ability to do basic work activities. Because of his accident, the doctors had to amputate his right leg just below the knee due to an uncontrollable MRSA infection, amputate his left foot due to gangrene. Although he has prosthetics, he is unable to use them because they do not fit well. The injury occurred on March 1, 2013 which also means he is within the duration requirements. Step 3: Medical Listing Test-Does the condition meet the SSA’s medical listings, or is the condition equal in severity to one found on the medical listings? Section 1.04 of the Disability Evaluation Under Social Security is disorders of the spine. In his accident Johnny’s L5-S1 disc burst and...

...Week 5 Review Questions March 2, 2013 1. The project manager’s primary attention must be on activities that are on the project’s critical path because if there is any delay at all, it would cause the project to be delivered late. 2. For any activities on the critical path, there is zero amount of slack. For activities not on the critical path, the slack is calculated by subtracting the ES (earliest start) from the LS (latest start) or by subtracting the EF (earliest finish) from the LF (latest finish). 3. To determine the ES for a item with 2 predecessors, the project manager should look at each predecessor to see if either one of them or both of them are on the critical path. The ES is the later of the 2 predecessor’s LF. The LF for an activity with 2 successors is determined by looking at each successor’s LS and determining which one has an earlier LS. 4. All the activities on the project’s non-critical path will not have the same slack because each of them can have different predecessors and different successors and different timeframes. 5. A. 4 B. 2 & 3 C. 5 6. Dummy tasks are used in situations where 2 activities have the same starting and ending nodes to make sure to be able to distinguish between the activities and not have the 2 activities be considered the same activity. 7. Because task d is only 6 days and task c is over double than task d so we can safely assume that a merge problem won’t occur because in all likelihood, task d...
