Do you agree with these? 2. What is the unique role the Catholic Church plays, according to Pope Leo XIII, in promoting social justice? Do you agree with that role? 3. Why does Pope Leo XIII support private property rights? How can the pursuit of private property support the goals of social justice? 4. How important is the family unit in ensuring a just society according to Pope Leo XII? What should the State do to protect the family unit? Do you agree? 5. What are some elements that are essential to insuring a just contract between the workers and the employers, according to Pope Leo XIII? Do you agree?

What are the sources of variability affecting NCC's operations? NCC is influenced by a number of possible variables. As mentioned the in the case, the trucks arrive to the Receiving Pant 1 randomly. In harvest-season day, the growers pick and transit berries to NCC randomly. As the number of berries being collected per day varies, the number of trucks that come to plant to dump them varies as well. The ratio of wet to dry harvested berries received significantly influences the whole operating cycle as the processing flow and capacities at each step is different for wet and dry berries. It is important to note that some of the processes are the same for both types of berries. As drying process is the bottleneck in the overall end to end process, the number of delivered / dumped wet harvested berries will increase the waiting time for trucks. Another variability exists in the grading process. As berries are graded on the scale from 1-3 by the chief berry receiver, 3 being the best color, a 50 cent premium is paid for No. 3 berries. At last, the quality of berries was graded according to colors by the chief receivers. The chief receiver cannot...
