...VARK and Multiple Intelligences Inventory assessments and answers to the questions on the syllabus: 1. Based on the descriptions in the text, where do you see yourself on the Kolb Inventory of Learning Styles? Based on the descriptions in the text of the Kolb Inventory of Learning Styles I see myself as an active experimenter. I make decisions easily and enjoy solving problems. I enjoy applying what I have learned to see if I understood the material correctly and feel that I learn quickly. I am always ready to move quickly from thinking to action and get frustrated by those who take too much time acting on what they have been taught. This coincides with the realistic category I fall into with the Holland Personality and Career types as I see myself as a concrete and practical doer. I prefer situations that involve action rather than verbal or interpersonal tasks and take a concrete approach to problem solving rather than relying on abstract theory. 2. After reading about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, determine which personality is most like you. On the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator I am an ESTJ: Extravert –I am outgoing, gregarious, and talkative and find myself too talkative at times or intimidating to those who are shy or introverted. Sensing- I am interested in the facts and see myself as practical, factual, realistic and down-to-earth. Thinking- I see myself as a logical, rational, and analytical person. I tend to decide things relatively impersonally...

...1. On the Kolb Inventory learning style I see myself to mostly be an accommodator. I very much so rely on my intuition and I tend to not read instructions unless I absolutely have to. Trial and error fits me to a T. I also think I am a diverger in my job because I supervise many people, and have learned how to think creatively with my emotions in order to relate to everyone. 2. Introversion, Sensing, Feeling, Judging (ISFJ). Some of the descriptions were right on, however the one I struggles with was Thinking versus Feeling. I feel that in my job, I am a thinker and a feeler. I generally don’t have a problem saying what I’m thinking to anyone; however I am very sympathetic when it’s called for. 3. In the VARK learning assessment, my highest score was in A (Aural). However, I ended up being multimodal. My stepping distance was 4, and the differences were only 2. In the Multiple Intelligences Inventory assessment, my highest score was in intrapersonal intelligence. In my workplace, I definitely am not a follower, I am much more of a leader. 4. The similarities between the surveys are that I am strong minded and focused. I like to figure things out on my own and get the job done. The differences are that though I do avoid crowds and loud places, I still appreciate other people’s opinions and feelings. 5. Of the 4 models, I liked the Kolb inventory the best. I feel that this knowledge will make me a stronger student because it told me that its ok to rely on my own...

...to start, to prepare a strategy based on the learning that we had while playing the demo version of the game. We had realized that the machines in Station 1 and Station 3 were operating at full capacity (i.e.100% utilization) when the demand was high. As a result, inventories were queuing up right before these two stations. We thought of buying both the machines but due to cash constraints we could afford to buy only one. We decided that our first move would be to buy a Station 1 machine. We decided that we would look at the lead time and then decide which one of the three contracts we should opt for. We also discussed the safety stock level that should be kept and the amount of quantity to be ordered (i.e. reorder quantity). Since the lead time of supplier was 4 days we decided that based on the average number of jobs we would keep the safety stock value. The Strategy and the Steps Carried out: Step 1: On Day 61 we bought the machine of Station 1 with $90,000. We saw that we were getting a lead time of about 2.3 days hence we chose Contract 1, in which we would receive $750 for completing the orders in minimum 7 days and maximum 14 days. We also saw that we were getting an average of 15 jobs per day i.e. we had to supply (15 X 60 =) 900 quantities per days. Hence team came to a conclusion that the re-order point be kept (900X4=) 3600. We had 7620 amount of inventory so we kept the re-order quantity at 3000 so that the inventory level comes down. After taking this step,...
