...(2005), "Operations management (OM) is defined as the design, operation, and improvement of the systems that create and deliver the firm's primary products and services" (p.19). Operations management is a dynamic field and presents exciting new issues and challenges for operations managers. For example, Maura Sprenger, human resources director at Techno Inc., a fast growing information technology company, is faced with a very difficult issue between winning a multimillion dollar business contract with Apex Company or run the risk of causing a very knowledgeable and valuable employee to quit. Sprenger faces a dilemma on ethical issues related to diversity in the workplace. And the risk of losing a deal with Apex company, a large client. In addition, Techno presents a false expectation to Apex Company to close a deal which would run the rise of losing the contract deal. Jack Ridge, Techno's vice president for sales and marketing departmenttries to sell a major contract to Apex and with a visit to was Apex's headquarter Ridge is impressed with Apex's diversity program. Ridge is under the impression that executives at Apex are very proactive about the diversity of its workforce and likes its vendors to reflect the same commitment. Techno has its own employee diversity committee, staff training, and recruiting efforts, however, the staff's diversity is very limited. Because Ridge does not want to send the wrong message to Apex and prevent a lucrative contract he decided he needs to...

...In this essay I will evaluate U.S. military campaign planning for Iraq using operational design (as described in Chapter III, Joint Publication 5-0 Joint Operation Planning). Chapter III of JP 5-0 provides the framework for the development of operational plans and orders that convey the ends, ways, means and risk that support the achievement of strategic and operational objectives. The commander’s role is complex. Commanders not only lead the staff, but they must also articulate national leader’s strategic intent to the staff that in turn collaborate through a recursive and ongoing dialogue to solve complex and ill-defined problems (5-0, III-2). This comparative analysis is primarily based on the books Cobra II and The Surge, and will evaluate...

...Portal Frames Portal frames are generally low-rise structures, comprising columns and horizontal or pitched rafters, connected by moment-resisting connections. Resistance to lateral and vertical actions is provided by the rigidity of the connections and the bending stiffness of the members, which is increased by a suitable haunch or deepening of the rafter sections. This form of continuous frame structure is stable in its plane and provides a clear span that is unobstructed by bracing. They are very efficient for enclosing large volumes; therefore they are often used for industrial, storage, retail and commercial applications as well as for agricultural purposes. A portal frame building comprises a series of transverse frames braced longitudinally. The primary steelwork consists of columns and rafters, which form portal frames, and bracing. The end frame (gable frame) can be either a portal frame or a braced arrangement of columns and rafters. The light gauge secondary steelwork consists of side rails for walls and purlins for the roof. The secondary steelwork supports the building envelope, but also plays an important role in restraining the primary steelwork. The roof and wall cladding separate the enclosed space from the external environment as well as providing thermal and acoustic insulation. The structural role of the cladding is to transfer loads to secondary steelwork and also to restrain the flange of the purlin or rail to which it is attached. TYPES...

...A third strong element of operational design for planning was decisive points. Planners used decisive points appropriately to give the commander a good sense as to the status of the operation and a measure for reaching operational objectives. The decisive points tied to the LOO and included actions such as suppress Scud Launch boxes and defeat IADS (Ibid.). The decisive points were important to the commander and deserved the allocation of forces required to reach the desired effect. An evaluation of OIF planning reveals the following weak elements of operational design: Center of Gravity (COG), forces and functions, and military end states. The decision to identify Baghdad as the Center of Gravity was among the planner’s most serious errors....

...Associate Program Material Appendix J Wireless Network Plan Use the following outline to create your wireless network plan. Fill in each section of the plan as required. Deployment Scenario The best deployment scenario for this particular situation would be the infrastructure setup. This type of networking would allow the system to utilize both the wireless and wired components. This would also enable the network to utilize the WLAN for the majority of its networking needs, while still having the capability to merge a LAN into this WLAN design if needed. Deployment Scenario Rationale I went with the infrastructure networking mode due to the physical limitations within the Customer Service Call Center’s floor design. The Call Centers floor plan would allow the wireless access points to communicate with other wireless access points that are out of wireless coverage reach. For areas that are not considered mobile or require a higher level of security, the use of a wired connection can be used; while still allowing the wireless portion of the network to connect to the wired segment. What this means is, it provides a way for the wireless access points to communicate with the rest of the network, which is vital for connecting multiple wireless access points, as well as connecting a WLAN to a LAN if needed or requested. Hardware Components • Component Name: Access Point o Rationale for using component: The use of five wireless access points are needed...

...Associate Level Material Appendix J Wireless Network Plan Use the following outline to create your wireless network plan. Fill in each section of the plan as required. Deployment Scenario The deployment scenario of the wireless network that I will be using is going to be the infrastructure mode with an Extended Service Set. In the infrastructure setup there will be a wired network as well as a wireless network. Access points, switches, and Ethernet cables will be used in this network to be able to connect a switch to the access point and from one access point to the next. Various access points will be necessary to cover all the areas necessary. I will put a dedicated access point for the Conference Room, one access point for one side of the user stations, one access point for that same side of the stations and offices, and in the other side of the concrete wall one access point for the stations and break room and the other access point for the stations and offices. There will be a wired network running through the offices as well for a wired connection and a wired connection for the conference room as well. The only ones that will be wireless only will be the call center stations. Deployment Scenario Rationale The reason to choose an infrastructure mode is because of the structure of the floor design. The infrastructure mode will allow the access points to communicate with each other through a wired network. While the wired network connects all the access...
