...Functions of a Job Description Jason Monroe HRM 531 July 2, 2012 Tiffany Mytty-Klein Functions of a Job Description As the current operations manager for a Fortune 500 retail distribution center, it is ultimately my responsibility to ensure the safe, effective, and efficient operation of both the inbound and outbound areas. The fundamentals of warehousing and distribution are simple: receive product in, stock it in a location, pick it from a location, and load it to ship to a store. While the fundamentals are simple, the complexity of the overall flow of the operation is quite extensive. With that in mind, there is an inventory control team member in the receiving department in place to assist with the proper receipt and placement of items in the distribution center. Currently, the inventory control team member reports to the inbound manager as an inbound function, respective to the receiving and stocking of items. However, a gap exists with the outbound team, as they have difficulty efficiently picking items for shipments. Desired Position After careful consideration, I have determined that one team member is not enough to ensure the most efficient flow of products through the facility. We need to establish a team of ten team members to efficiently maintain the desired flow of product in the facility. There will need to be two team members on each shift (first, second, third, and weekend) and two additional team members for daily maintenance. Their...

...accounting, for he said in his Holy Bible that everyone would be accountable before him when this world comes to an end.(Matthew 12:36) The practice of accounting can be traced back to ancient times, with "accounting books" of various forms discovered as early as 3500 B. C. From the time of 3500 B. C., accounting has progressed slowly through the development of the modern double-entry system published by Luca Paciolo in the fifteenth century until the advent of the computer. In 1581 the first college of accountants was organized with power to regulate entry into the field. Along with the development of modern accounting, a stereotypical image of the accountant was developed, because of its task being routine and purity mathematical in function. The accountant is view as a dull person that is chain to his desk all day. A survey of college students proved that accounting is treated with mental formulaic concepts, thus it has a stereotype image. Accounting may be defined as an information system that provides reports to various individuals or groups about economic activities of an organization or other entity. Accounting is information sciences used to collect, classify, and manipulate financial data for organizations and individuals Accounting is instrumental within organizations as a means of determining financial stability. Without accounting, organizations would have no basis or foundation upon which daily and long-term decisions could be made. The budgets for marketing...

Let’s go back to my room and study some non-Euclidean geometry. Why don’t you be the numerator and I be the denominator and both of us reduce to simplest form? I don’t care what Godel’s Incompleteness Theorem says, because I know that you complete me. There are many proofs of my theorem, but you are far and away the most elegant. Let me show you that the function of my love for you is one to one and on to. I have a solution to Fermat’s Theorem written on the inside of my pants. Want a hot Euler body massage? Shall I iterate using Newton’s method to find your 0? In game theory I study situations in which both players can win. You want to be a part of one? You have one compact set. You give me a positive derivative (Also: my vector field has a positive divergence when I am around you). Ever wonder what L’Hopital’s rule has to say about limits in the form of me over you? If you don’t want to go all the way, you can still partially derive me. My vector has a large magnitude, care to normalize it? I see that you have two nice maxima, mind if I solve for the minimum? You are one well-defined function. I like the area bounded by your two curves. Can I plug my solution into your equation? Let my ability to perform ε-δ proofs of a...

...will repay," says the Lord." (Romans 12:19) Christians may not take justice into their own hands, but must allow God to deal with justice. Christians are to forgive; it is God who judges. One way that God judges is through the government. The next chapter in the Bible says that God created government to maintain order. It goes on to say that the government is "God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer." (Romans 13:4) So, when God says that he will take vengeance, this is how he does it -- through his servant, the government. But Jesus' actions do not suggest that the death penalty is not God's will. Jesus' teaching primarily has to do with personal ethics, not the function of the government. It is our job as individuals to forgive. It is God's job, in part through the government, to provide justice for...

...space with zero atoms consist of stones. 5. All empty space does not consist of stones. 6. Therefore, stones do not exist. To go even further, I can add another step in order to conclude that ordinary objects do not exist. The additional step would be that if ordinary objects exist, then stones must also exist. Therefore, ordinary objects do not exist. First we must see what objects exists and what objects occupy a position in space and time. Objects in the universe include planets, people, atoms, chairs, and the sun. They are all made out of parts and they are all composite objects. In order to explain the idea of composition we can say that the x’s compose a composite object if and only if the x’s, taken together have a function that none of them have separately, the x’s are physically bonded, and the x’s are inseparable. Nihilism supports Unger’s idea that stones do not exist because nihilism supports the idea that composition never occurs and therefore,...

...Samantha Poteet ENGWR 480 Professor Kiefer 31 October 2013 Little is known about Jakob von Uexküll, the author of A Foray into the Worlds of Animals and Humans: With a Theory of Meaning, other than his credentials and contributions. Uexküll studied zoology at the University of Tartu, known as Dorpat at the time, in Estonia from 1884 to 1889 (SUNY Press; Jakob von Uexküll Centre). Later Uexküll worked at the Institute of Physiology of the University of Heidelberg and at the Zoological Center in Naples, focusing on the behavior and interaction of living beings (SUNY Press; Jakob von Uexküll Centre). His written works were dedicated to the question of how living beings subjectively perceive their environment and how their perception determines their behavior, which is a dominant theme throughout A Foray in the Worlds (Jakob von Uexküll Centre). Uexküll argues that the spider builds its web before it has ever met a physical fly, therefore it is a representation of the spider’s primal image of the fly (159). Uexküll’s claim depends on three assumptions: (1) the fly is the prey of the spider, (2) the spider has a primal image of the fly, and (3) the web is the end product of the spider’s primal image. Though Uexküll’s claim may well have some merit, he presents an incomplete argument as his assumptions are insufficient and based solely on the evidence he offers, his argument cannot be accepted as valid. Uexküll’s first assumption is correct but also insufficient as it does...

It signifies what the emblem presently stands for. it is a assembly of convictions order about a exact brand. In short, it is not anything but the consumers’ perception about the product. it is the kind inside which a particular emblem is positioned in the market. Emblem likeness expresses emotional worth and not just a mental representation. Emblem image is not anything but aide degree organization’s feature. it is aide degree accumulation of contact and fact by individuals external to an association. It ought to focus aide degree organization’s operation and dream to any or all. The major parts of positive emblem image are- exclusive emblem reflective organization’s likeness, saying recounting organization’s business in short and emblem identifier carrying the key values. Brand image is that the overall impression in consumers’ mind that's formed from all sources. shoppers develop various associations with the brand. supported these associations, they form brand image. an image is made about the brand on the idea of subjective perceptions of associations bundle that the shoppers have about the brand.

...Tom Gause 4/22/13 Unit 4 research paper: Port Expander “A port expander is a hardware device designed to utilize more than one device on a single port at one time.” In layman’s terms, this can also be called a “splitter.” There are many different types of port expanders, but they can be narrowed down to two major groups; internal, and external. They are generic devices that will function no matter where they’re installed. Internal port expanders attach to your motherboard, and the user will only see the back plate. From a hardware standpoint, there is no difference in the type of computer. If the card fits, it will work. The first image in the appendix is an example of a port expander. External port expanders are not attached to the motherboard. They plug into a slot on the computer, and allow multiple devices to attach to that slot. The second image in the appendix is an example of an external port expander. One of the biggest advantages to using a port splitter is during multitasking. For example, most user interface devices are USB devices, mice, keyboards, printers, and even cell phone chargers can all be plugged into a USB slot. Therefore, the more ports you have, the more peripheral attachments you can use. On the other hand, with so many devices plugged into a single port the power source could get overwhelmed. Without the proper safety measures, an overloaded power source could “burn out” and cease functioning. Appendix Image 1: Internal Port Expander ...
