She had decided that, owing to the success of her year-old pizza service, the time had come to expand pizza-making operations on campus. However, yesterday the university president announced plans to begin construction of a student center on campus that would house, among other facilities, a new food court. In a departure from past university policy, this new facility would permit and accommodate food-service operations from three private organizations: Dunkin’ Donuts, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut. Until now, all food service on campus had been contracted out to BSB, Inc. CAMPUS FOOD SERVICE BSB, Inc., is a large, nationally operated food-services company serving client organizations.

...proposed options to grow Subway outlet in campus. Subway is an American fast food restaurant franchise that offers sandwiches, made on freshly baked bread and prepared just as you want it, with a wide assortment of meats, cheeses, vegetables and toppings. They also offer wraps, delis and salads, potato chips, baked cookies and choice of different drinks. Is one of the fastest growing franchises in the world with 40,043 restaurants in 102 countries; and SMU held one of them on the School of information Systems, (2 Seragoon Road, #01-16, Singapore, Singapore 218227) in operating Hours between 8:30 am - 10:30 pm. The outlet has a big demand specially during the lunchtime (11:30 – 2:30) during this time waiting for your meals can take between 15- 20 min due long queue, but during the rest of the day the sells are reduced. As any other franchise requirements of quality and image are imposed, but the restaurant could get more clients by solving three opportunity areas: First Active use of the Social Networks; the investment on publicity in other campus areas and campus events; finally the remodeling of the food area to create a better environment. This three proposes will be explained in order to grow the business sales, and quality of the subway experience at SMU. First proposal is to have and active use of the Social Networks; the power of a Face book Fan page is very underestimated, even though it has a big reach in the youth´s market; for this case it would be convenient to use the subway...

...many problems like many of my peers. If I had to name a few then the problems which I have experienced are housing facility, food and dining service, transportation, general education subjects, exorbitant tuition fees for international students, and cumulative final examinations on same day. The housing facility is decent but the rooms are very small. Sometimes the floor is very noisy especially on the weekends when partygoers are drunk and wild and creating a nuisance. The kitchen facility is not very good in the residence halls and hence cooking is difficult which makes the student dependent on the food and dining service which is expensive especially if you come from a country whose currency is 60 times weaker than the currency here. The rooms could be made bigger and with well-equipped kitchens. The meal plan system cost over $2,000 a semester and you get the same food with hardly 3-4 options of cuisines. Despite such a heavy meal plan charge students hardly get great delicious food. Cheaper and wider variety of food can be offered. The transportation facility is also poor at times as buses are full most of the times and many time buses don’t stop at all. I have stayed on campus during my first semester and then moved off campus. We do have a UB bus stop near our off campus housing building but it is situated between the north and the south campus and hence we have to take the...

...Chapter 1 Competing with Operations DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Answering this question demonstrates that processes underlie all of our jobs. What might be surprising is how many students would put their job in the category of “other,” suggesting that many jobs do not fall neatly into any one functional area. Perhaps many in the “other” category might best be called “operations” on further reflection. Customers, both internal and external, are part of each process, and the goal is to manage the processes to add the most value for them. 2. Amazon.com offers a very broad range of services and products at competitive prices. Its competitive priorities would include fast delivery time, on-time delivery, customization, variety and low-cost operations. As a business, Amazon.com is actually assembling a customized basket of goods that must be delivered in a short window of time in a dependable fashion. Low-cost operations are needed to remain competitive. To remain in business, Amazon.com needs to maintain high volumes of traffic. Operations strategy must focus on stock availability and quick, economical, and dependable delivery. 3. The hospital’s commitment to provide attention to patients arriving to the emergency unit in less than 15 minutes and never to turn away patients who need to be hospitalized implies that the facility must be designed to have extra capacity in both beds and emergency room facilities. It must plan on having extra personnel...

...is still in the process of improvement and setting roots to become one of the strongest universities out here. One of the ways of improvement is to have a good dining system. Sadly, the location of the university is quite far from the city and no near restaurants to make it easier for the girls to go out and have a proper meal. So, it’s a struggle for the girls of PMU to find alternative restaurants than the one that is currently provided on campus. In this study, it shows how opening Chili’s at PMU can be beneficial. Students can be more focused and productive due to having a proper meal. Chili’s is a highly known restaurant, especially in Saudi. Having chili’s on campus would make their lives easier and would look make them happier to see that the university is listening to what they wants and coming up with solutions to make all students happy. My expectation about this study is to help PMU improve their system and show them how this study can be beneficial for the university not only for the students, but also can be profitable. Literature Review During my research, I found a similar case in the University of Western Sydney when they open a restaurant in Parramatta campus. They claim that opening a restaurant on campus, it is a perfect place for corporate lunches or catching up with friends. In our case, this shows that opening a Chili’s could be very beneficial for students who want to catch or even instructor’s that would like to discuss something over lunch. However...

...The Meaning of SJSU The meaning of San Jose State University (SJSU) will have a different perspective in every individual’s opinion. This university may be a source to attain a four-year degree, might be seen as a commuter school to majority of the students or even perceived as just a party school. This university has much to offer, the diverse location, culture, and resources available make San Jose State appealing to vast range of people. Being a Spartan is a privilege for me.

...So many people in today’s educational system do not realize how important the way students are eating is, and the negative effects that eating certain foods can have on their bodies and school work. Colorado Mountain College houses students at the Spring Valley Campus; subsequently, they supply a cafeteria with meals everyday. The food that is served in this cafeteria however, is potentially aiding to the freshman fifteen, overweight students, low energy levels, and the lack of fruits and vegetables in students’ diets. This problem is not only caused by what the cafeteria is ordering from their food provider (Sudexo), but it also is a direct reflection of what the students are demanding, or in most cases not demanding, to eat. Obviously, not every student should be stripped the right to eat pizza or to have a bowl of ice cream if that is how they want to eat. But the students that are choosing to pass on those foods and eat something of a wholesome, nutritious nature, are limited to what they can eat on a day to day basis. More healthy options should be offered in Colorado Mountain College’s cafeteria due to the dislike in the food served now, the physical and psychological effects, and the long term repercussions that could occur. In a survey conduced in the CMC cafeteria, when asked how many days they were satisfied with the food the majority of students said two. So out of seven days eating, and more importantly paying for the food, they only walk away satisfied two times...
