First, the current conditions of the textile or apparel industry are analyzed and the key factors for a successful supply chain considering the globalization of the industry are discussed. An analytical hierarchy process (AHP) model that an apparel company can use for the selection of suppliers is presented and a supplier relationship management (SRM) strategy is created based on the results of the model. In addition, strategic priorities for the supplier selection problem are identified and weights are developed to select the right supplier that fits the company’s strategy. Finally, the outcome and the implications of the model for implementation are discussed. 1. Introduction In today’s world of globalization many apparel retailers are building...

...Design The network design for Millbrook Commons Community (MCC) contains two smaller LANs that are a part of one large network called a metropolitan area network (MAN). They will be divided into the residential LAN and the Main Complex LAN. These two LANs will then be divided even further into virtual private networks (VPNs). This is known as a hierarchical design. Due to geographical restrictions it is not possible for the LANs to physically connect to each other (using cables) so they will communicate via microwave using WiMax technology. Luckily, both LANs that are to be installed are within sight of each other. Otherwise, we would have to seek alternate means. The WAN section explains the technologies that will be used in further detail. There will also be smaller networks that are centralized around people rather than physical locations. These even smaller networks are called Personal Area Networks (PAN). The PANs will also be able to connect to the larger networks wirelessly. This design will provide MCC with the coverage and service needed to give their residents the best quality of life possible. This hierarchical design is flexible and manageable so that if changes are necessary in the future, they can be accommodated without expensive upgrades. If additions are made to the facilities in the future, adding network nodes is easy and simple. Physical layout The first MCC LAN we will discuss is the residential LAN; there will be two LANs total. The topology...

...As per The Globe and Mail Published Friday, May 23, 2014 10:25AM EDT New chief executive officer of Rogers Communications Inc. As of December 2013 Guy Laurence CEO Resetting company’s management structure. Fix customer service issues **** poor customer service to be improved by unraveling a tangled mess of corporate structures and separating consumer concerns from business priorities. Reignite growth. Restructuring will make Rogers more agile (quote: Guy Laurence) High level executives removed from office. (shake up) Senior ranks will be shifted away from daily operations to focus on long-term strategic goals. The restructuring comes amid an intensely competitive telecommunication’s landscape. For Rogers that has meant limited growth in wireless customers, recent declines in cable subscribers and a lagging stock price. The new setup gives Mr. Laurence firm control of operations and puts deputy chairman Edward Rogers, son of the late founder and CEO Ted Rogers, in line to one day take over as chairman. Mr. Rogers currently holds an executive post as well as heading a family trust that controls the company through multiple voting shares. Under Mr. Laurence’s plan, Mr. Rogers is giving up his operating duties to focus on the board, but sources say he is believed to be in line to one day replace chairman Alan Horn when he steps down. His sister, Melinda Rogers, is also leaving her role as a senior vice-president but she will remain on the board. Clear focus...

...computer systems and internet facilities installation should be prioritized. Today the world has become a global village and thus the need to put the infrastructure in place is essential. The institution looked at the need and considered it to be the priority. The organizations’ network has different users each with different privileges. The users are the administration, the staff and the students. My aim is to come up with an efficient, modular, resilient, structured and manageable network upon implementation with good structural and engineering principles. To meet the requirements of the organization, I propose a hierarchical network design needs to be implemented. This is because this design allows the use of the other topologies at different levels, growth and robustness. Hierarchical network design A hierarchical network is also called network backbone. The hierarchical system is divided into three tiers, namely core, distribution and access level, with the privileges reducing downwards. This design is most appropriate for the organization since it allows for network administrators to optimize and specify the correct hardware and software for the entire network that is changing from one level to another. Core Level The hardware requirements for this layer includes Cisco Catalyst 6500 that is intended to route signals from the internet and switch them to the different faculties and administration blocks. The core level is used by network engineers, designers, and architects....

Project Scope In wireless mesh network, there is no restriction for public to access the internet or mobile services. So that the large numbers of attacks are might be happened like eavesdrop, inject or impersonate in WMN.All these attacks are great threat to the user credential, because the adversaries’ once disclosed the user’s credential means devastating the user consequences. We proposed two scheme for protect the user’s privacy in wireless mesh networks. The first scheme is basic protocol suite and another one is an advanced protocol suite. In the first protocol is used the group signature technique and another...

...Margaret Thatcher and in the US during President Ronald Regan’s term of office (1970s and 1980s). This transformation in the management of the public sector was adopted by many countries as a strategy for government as a means to solve problems that was existing in the delivery of public goods and services. The rigid, hierarchical, bureaucratize form of public administration was changed to a flexible, market-based form of public management. This is considered as a "paradigm shift" from the traditional public administration approach, which was dominant in the public sector for most of the century. The traditional approach was severely criticized. This literature review seeks to show the emergence of public sector management and its importance in the delivery of public goods and services. Public administration is no longer efficient and effective and as such, Public sector management is a good strategy in increasing efficiency and reduce costs in the public sector. . Problem Statement There were a number of problems leading up to the emergence of public sector management. There were newer theories of organizational structure and behavior, which argued that the bureaucratic model is no longer particularly efficient or effective, and there was a need for more flexible forms of management. It was argued that the traditional public administration approach was developed at a particular stage of industrialization, which suited relatively small and stable public sector (Thompson...
