...Muffler Magic 1. Specify three (3) recommendations about the functions of recruiting, selection, and training that you think Ron Brown should be addressing with his HR manager now. According to the text, it insinuates the company or human resources are not properly staffing Muffler Magic. They are trying to fill the requirement instead of trying to fill the need. I would first recommend that the human resources work to fill the need versus filling the requirement. This means when recruiting individuals for a position, they need to do more extensive recruiting and especially interviewing. While the requirement might be a mechanic with basic skills, the need is a mechanic that can do the job efficiently and in a timely manner. Knowing the candidate’s ability to quickly accomplish work with customer satisfaction approvals is important. Candidate selection should be improved by improving the interviewing process. During many interviews, employers do a “test drive” so to speak of the candidate and look to see their skills at work. Muffler Magic would greatly benefit by adding an additional requirement to team leads to assist with the interview process. Their part could be conducting a skills assessment to assess the candidate’s ability to perform specific job functions efficiently and also find out how quickly they can perform them. This would help ensure that employees also do not have a mildly fabricated resume which qualifies them for positions they are not...

...classified into three categories. Class I fuel tanks, Class II Manifolds, front and rear doors, and Class III Muffler exhaust system and oil pans. Class I were having costs equal to or lower than competitors. Class II were products that had the potential of becoming world class (costs 5%-15% higher than competitors) and the no hopes were Class III. I don’t believe that this was a great way to classify the products into categories, there may be some products that were priced at a premium because other factors contributed to the buyers willing to pay a higher price for these products. I conclude that these classifications were based on numbers, they mentioned the presence of interviews to help them, but in the end I feel like these all were number related classifications. 2) A) i) if overhead costs were entirely fixed, they would save about two thousand dollars and ii) if they were entirely variable they would save about four thousand dollars. Volume of activity at Bridgeton Industries is measured by dollars. They’re not measured by just counting units because this is the way it’s been put in place. I would assume that because their costs are spread out among the products to figure out profitability they don’t want to measure volume just by counting. B) I think that the Bridgeton and the consultants believe that they would save a lot on overhead by outsourcing muffler exhaust systems and oil pans, approximately fifty thousand dollars. c) thirty thousand dollars were actually...

...MATH138a – QUANTITATIVE TECHNIQUES IN BUSINESS PROBLEM SET: FINAL PERIOD Direction: Solve the following problems. Write your complete solution for full or partial credit. 1. Ben’s Muffler Repair advertises that it is able to replace a car muffler on the same day a customer brings a car into the shop. If for any reason Ben cannot keep his promise, he pays the customer $100. Ben has found that for LN-70 mufflers, the optimal reorder quantity is 30 mufflers; he orders LN-70 mufflers 10 times a year. As LN-70 mufflers have to be ordered from a manufacturer located a considerable distance away, lead time for his orders is 30 working days, a period of time in which Ben on the average sells 30 LN-70 mufflers. During the past 10 years, 100 orders were placed. There were 10 occasions when Ben sold 32 LN-70s, 5 occasions when he sold 35 and only 1 when he sold 36 during the 30-day order period. On each of the other 84 occasions, he sold 30 or fewer. If it costs Ben $18 a year to hold one LN-70 in safety stock, what should Ben establish as his reorder point for LN-70 mufflers to minimize his costs? At this level of safety stock, how many $100 bills will Ben expect to give to car owners whose cars require an LN-70 muffler? 2.

...• Preventative maintenance -can do 3 things; reduce failures, save on operating cost, and keep equipment safe. • Reduce failures- When work is heaviest equipment need preventative maintenance the most, the customer can’t afford for the equipment to be down during peak use, won’t prevent failures but limits them. • Save on operating cost- The fewest dollars spent on maintenance will pay for themselves many times over. An engine tune up can save 15% in fuel consumption and increase power by 10%. 100 hp tractor would use 4.5 gallons less in fuel and add a bonus of 10 hp. A maintained engine burns less fuel and can do more work per hour. • The #1 expense is down time. • Keeping equipment safe to operate- a customer with poorly maintained machine will tend to take chances to save time lost by poor performance, may also try to fix it without stopping or turning off the machine which promotes accidents. • Keeping records- Good way to make sure maintenance is performed on schedule, keep records for customer or job ticket, increase service sales in your shop. • Sales Technicians-are also sales men, they sale time or labor hours, service is our product= poor service= poor sales=no job. • Service intervals- Usually 5, 10, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1,000 hours of operation- Check the owner’s manual for specific intervals. Service intervals are cumulative which means 50 hr service should be done at 50hrs, 100 hrs, 150 hrs and 200hrs. • Tips for good machine...

...21 September 2012 Mike Hagerty Hagerty’s publishing 242 Publisher Lane Blue Springs, Mo, 64015 Dear Mr. Hagerty, As a proud citizen of my community, I believe that there are heroes amongst us all and they are just hiding behind their true self. The reason is that they are too scared to stand up for what they believe in or what they believe needs to be done, in order to create unity. And, that is why I am writing the publisher because I want to try and convince our community that heroes are all around the world and show their powers in different ways. Ohhh… and I’m not talking about NO ordinary superheroes that have all these magical powers; I’m talking about the heroes that simple just uses pure wisdom to influence the ones around them. This story will show the world that there are heroes out there in all different shapes and sizes. And, as far as the story goes, here are the ideas behind my story, so here we go: Way up high in the majestical forests, in the mountain of Emei, in China lives the Somaki people, who had the most inspirational/wise man that ever set foot on the lands called Mr. Morrison. For the people call their village the Spiritual Oracle because of Mr. Morrison; who takes on the form of a monk because of his vibrant white beard and bald head, the fact that he wears glasses and is as short (5’2 to be exact), his face looks as though it is wrinkled in certain areas giving him the effect of audacity allowing him to have the appearance of wisdom...

...Explore how the fiftieth gate and one other related text of your own choosing represent history and memory in unique and evocative ways. The interplay of history and memory combine to provide greater insight into events. Through the manipulation of textual forms and features, Mark Bakerʼs hybrid text “The Fiftieth Gate” expands and humanizes oneʼs understanding of the Holocaust in unique and evocative ways. A unique feature of the text is clever fusion between personal accounts and documented history using mediums such as, interviews, official documents, poetry and song. This enhances the stories of the authorʼs parents, Yossl and Genia, whilst evocatively capturing the atrocities of the Holocaust. The relationship between history and memory is further explored in Kevin Ruddʼs “Sorry apology to Stolen Generations”. Bakerʼs “The Fiftieth Gate” suggests that memory humanises historical events, juxtaposed by the emotionless discourse of history in unique and evocative ways. Baker provides insight into the historical events associated with the Holocaust,emphasising number of deaths that occurred during the genocide. In Gate 26, Baker explores the deaths Geniaʼs parents witnessed in the lines, “Among 1380 people, one family survived by chance. They were Leo Krochmal and his wife Rosa who witnessed the shooting,” The impersonal tone and simple language in the lines underscores the straightforward and detached nature of history. In contrast, the recount of Genia hiding...

... From 1450 to 1750, witch hunts were rampant around areas in Europe that were already ravaged by conflict. Witch hunts were roused by paranoia among both the layman and the religious authorities alike. The typically uneducated layman were easy prey for an intense paranoia and needed an outlet to blame. Sommerville, a modern historian, wrote a paper for other historians with a more neutral viewpoint than the fearful people of the past, detailing how women reaching for power was seen as evil and that was a part of how they were associated with witchcraft (Source 1). At the time, women were often treated as if they were a part of a lower class to be subjugated, and like when any member of a lower group tries to ascend to a higher one, they were typically disliked and distrusted, to the point of being considered evil. Joseph Klait, a historian, detailed how witches were blamed for any difficulties between husband and wife (Source 2). The need to blame a supernatural force for relationship difficulties, believing someone is out to get them and strain their relationship. Thomas Ady, a man living during the witch hunts spoke about the feeling of the average man at the time, spoke about how a person must be a witch after they denied helping a person and then strange things happened to him (Source 4). Ady denied aiding a person, and then something out of the ordinary happened, so he thought it was some sort of retribution from the person he denied, showing how paranoid he was. Fulbecke...

...Malia knew the scene all to well, it was etched in her memory like a scar upon skin. It left a horrible gory mark where happiness once dwelled. Anything she did could ever change or rescue what this moment had taken from her. Malia wallowed in her own pain, it was what she deserved right? She begged the still corpse of her brother to wake, but as always nothing ever happened. Silly foolish girl, no one's faith could bring him back. She rocked him, tears running down her cheeks. Tracing the well worn lines they had left there countless times before. Malia had relented to being stuck there, her soul simply trapped by the pain when suddenly a voice broke through. She blinked and slowly looked up, the red of her brothers blood a stark contrast to her now pale skin. "You...you set the nightmares free." she accused in a broken voice as Dominic reached for her. Malia struggled at first, desperate to hang onto her little brother, 'I can't leave him again, I can't...Pl..." she spoke as her legs felt to weak to hold her up and her body pressed against Dominic's as the scene shifted and her brother vanished from her sight. The dream shifted and changed, swirling around them with colors she couldn't even name anymore. She wanted to run, but before Malia could act Dominic grabbed her hand and pulled her close. Her hand once again came to rest palms pressed against his chest as she tried to push him away. Only this time he was stronger, to strong for her to push away, to strong for her...

... Its 1692 Salem, Massachusetts your neighbors are dwindling one by one. Extreme fear is in your heart, will I be next, will it be my wife, friend, preacher etc., who condemn me as a witch? That is what a witch-hunt feels like. Witch-hunts are designed to strike fear in your heart, to make you comply, to make you theirs. They are what one reverts to when they don’t want to own up to what they have done or have know idea how to explain what just really happened. In the case of Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty, and David Evans this is their real life story. They were turned from envied Duke lacrosse players to hated rapists in a matter of a night of partying. Accused by Crystal Mangum, a stripper who was paid to preform at the party, who had a helping hand by Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong, who was up for reelection that year. As stated, the party was at the home, off campus, of the three captains, including David Evans. The party was a break from school and lacrosse, the whole team had to stay at campus for spring break. Before the party started the players called Allure, a stripper service, and asked for two white or Hispanic strippers, some didn’t even know that there was going to be strippers until the party started and they started to collect the fees for the strippers. When the strippers Crystal Mangum, had consumed Flexeril and alcohol before entering the property, and Kim Roberts, both African American, arrived about thirty-five of the forty-six players...
