...JDT Task 2 Carol Gore 4-10-14 A1. Decision Alternative The whistles that were scheduled to be shipped to schools in South America at the end of the week contained a higher amount of lead than the U.S legally acceptable limit will allow for children ages 7 and younger. The cost that will be extensive to reproduce the product and repackage the whistles in order to reduce the traces of lead. The decision must be made as to what the next course of action will be to meet quality requirements as well as the ethical concern that would be present if we shipped the whistles with the problem that has been identified. I believe there are a few options to consider. 1) The first action would be to immediately re-test the product to ensure the quality assurance test was accurate. This might involve additional dollars spent, but would be worth the risk if the quality controls were calibrated incorrectly, or performed inadequately. If the re-evaluation reveals similar results then we will proceed with additional alternatives. 2) If the retesting reveals similar results, we can sell the current shipment to an older age population. The lead testing, and acceptable levels are very specific to a certain age population. The lead level was too high for the children 7 and under but might be acceptable for children over the age of 7. If this alternative is not an option then we will be forced to reproduce additional products to meet the demand for this toy. 3) Reproduction of the...

...500 units but Shuzworld F only produces 2,200 units. That means Warehouse 1 will take all off the units from Shuzworld F and still have a demand of 300 units. Warehouse needs 1,800 units and Shuzworld H produces 2,300 units. This means Warehouse 3 will receive all of its units from Shuzworld H and Shuzworld H will still have an excess of 500 units. After this, the lowest cost after the first is looked for. Warehouse 3 is already taken care of so none of the costs need to be looked at in that column. The next most efficient cost is Shuzworld H to Warehouse 1 and Shanghai to Warehouse 2. Shanghai can only produce 1,300 units so Warehouse 2 will take those units and still have a demand for 300 more units. Warehouse 1 only needs 300 more units to complete its demand so it will take those units from Shuzworld H leaving Shuzworld H with and excess of 200 units. At the end of this, Warehouse 2 still needs 200 units so the warehouse will get those units from Shuzworld H. The graph showing this is again on the excel sheet. Overall, when the costs are added up, the total cost of shipping the units...

...the elementary toy division and were made to complete an order that would be shipped to South America at the end of the week and the cost of remaking the product would be $100,000. Three solutions were proposed: cancel the shipment to South America, ship the half completed order and then send the final parts after they are fixed, or ship the toys to an area with less strict criteria. A1. Present 3 possible decision alternatives A1a. Alternative Process Human Resources has taken the best interest of the company and has concluded on three decisions to resolve the issue presented by quality control. This company understands that making a good decision does not end with making the decision, but also needs follow-up. As presented in the Task 2 Webinar there are Decision Models that can be used to aid in identifying, processing and evaluating any decision (Jewell, 2011). The Third Decision Model was used to aid HR in the three options presented in this memo. The toy company has lost revenue on a shipment of toy whistles. The company has to decide how to resolve the loss in revenue while keeping stakeholders and clients the priority. The company needs a resolution that minimally affects the overall budget, but also retains current clients. The three options available display an area of considerations that affect the budget, the stakeholder perception of the company and the reputation between the Toy Company and clients. The first option of canceling the whole order to South America...

...MEMORANDUM ______________________________________________________________________________ TO: Prez E. Dent September 19, 2013 Chief Executive Officer (CEO) The Toy Company FROM: Elementary Division Manager Background: Memorandum in response to the recent notification that a large shipment of whistles scheduled to ship to elementary schools in South America at the end of week has failed to meet the U.S. requirements of lead limits by a slight margin. A1. Decision Alternative The primary market for the elementary toy collection is elementary schools. The metal whistles in question did not pass testing due to the small traces of lead. The amount of lead included in the whistles was slightly above the U.S. legally acceptable limits for children ages 7 and younger. The approximate cost to reproduce the product and repackage the toy collections is $100,000. There are a few more questions to pose and/or further data to collect in determining the best alternatives to pose. Are the standards for lead content changed if the market is adjusted for adults? We will assume that since we are a toy manufacturer that that loophole is not even a consideration for us regardless of the possible change in requirement. Another question would be; do we have a market in areas that do not require lead testing? For decision alternative presentation we will move forward in assuming that the answer to that question is yes. Decision Option 1: Go ahead and ship...

...MEMO TO: CEO FROM: Division Manager DATE: January 29, 2014 RE: Discrimination Research ****************************************************************************** The following are my findings regarding the constructive discharge from the employee that has left our company after our policy change. The employee is alleging that we discriminated against them because we made them work on a “Holy Day.” He is claiming “constructive discharge.” Constructive Discharge is when an organization makes the employee’s work environment was so intolerable that they had no choice but to quit (constructive dismissal). He is stating that because we change the work schedule from a five day Monday through Friday to a 12 hours shift, four days on and four days off. Since this new schedule means that they can end up working any day of the week including Saturday or Sunday, he would have to work on the “Holy Day”. Since the production workers are the only ones that the schedule changed for, this can be portrayed that we are discriminating them. Religion is one of the protected categories that are protected under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This is Act protects employees from being discriminated on the bases of race and color, national origin, religion, and sex. This Act is only in effect for companies that have more than 15 employees. Discrimination is in all aspects of a person’s employment. You cannot discriminate in the Recruiting, Hiring...

...(JDT) Task 1 September 6, 2014 JDT2 Task 1 To: CEO From: Elementary Division Manager Date: September 6, 2014 Subject: Response to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 claim made by former employee. A. Constructive discharge is defined as when a worker resigns due to a hostile work environment created by the employer (elaws, 2014). This can occur when an employer makes significant changes to the terms or conditions of worker’s employment (elaws, 2014). In the case of the employee who filed a claim, the work hours were changed to 12-hour shifts, with four days on and then four days off. The four workdays can occur any of the days of the week. The former employee claimed that the workday could be on a religious holy day. In this case, there is cause to claim constructive discharge. The work hours changed significantly from when the employee was hired. To determine whether constructive discharge was used in this employee’s resignation, there are two tests. First, a reasonable person in the employee’s position would find the working conditions intolerable, and second, the employer created an offensive work environment with the intent to force the employee to quit (Constructive Discharge, 2014). B. Title VII: Section703 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that applies to employment decisions; mandates that employment decisions not be based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin (Gomez et al, p. 92). Protected class theory states that...

...Understanding Open Source Software Development Process Abstract: As the assignment requirement, we selected eclipse, Linux kernel and commercial software from the corporation of one member. It is the regret that we had not enough time to collect all statistics by ourselves, and instead of that, papers and blogs are the main resources for open source part in this document. The open source software is introduced before the commercial one. Keywords: development process, code ownership, defect density, bug lifetime Background: Linux Kernel In April 1991, Linus Torvalds, a 21-year-old student at the University of Helsinki, Finland started working on some simple ideas for an operating system. He started with a task switcher in Intel 80386 assembly language and a terminal driver. On 26 August 1991, Torvalds posted the following to comp.os.minix, a newsgroup on Usenet: I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since April, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things). After that, many people contributed code to the project. Early on, the MINIX community contributed code and ideas to the Linux kernel. At the time, the GNU Project had created many of the components required for a free operating system, but its own kernel...

...Android vs iPhone Junyao Zhang April 12, 2010 This is a complete analysis and comparison between Android and iPhone OS. The rest of this report is organized as follows. Section ?? outlines the system architecture, history and detail management configuration. Section ?? discusses the iPhone system. In Section ??, a comparison between these two systems is presented. 1 Android Android, originally meaning “robot”, is a mobile operating system using a modified version of the Linux kernel. It was initially developed by Android Inc., a firm later purchased by Google,[?]and lately by the Open Handset Alliance[?]. It allows developers to write managed code in the Java language, controlling the device via Google-developed Java libraries.[8] It empolys the software stack architecture, as shown in Figure 1. • Android relies on Linux version 2.6 for core system services such as security, memory management, process management, network stack, and driver model. The kernel also acts as an abstraction layer between the hardware and the rest of the software stack. It is implemented by programming language C. • The middleware level includes Runtime and Libraries. The Runtime includes core libraries, providing most of the functionality available in the core libraries of the Java programming language, and Dalvik virtual machine which allows every Android application runs in its own process. The Libraries is used by various components of the Android system, such as Media Libraries, 3D libraries...
