...Module 1 Case 9/5/2012 The Disconnection of Being Connected Martin Carnoy wrote: “Thanks to a communications and software revolution, we are more ‘connected’ than ever before—by cell phone, email, and video conferencing—yet more disconnected than in the past from social interaction.” In the past, any time you needed information or help doing something, you had to walk or ride into town and speak to whoever specialized in what you wanted to know. Face to face discussion was the only way to tell people things or to find things out. It later developed into calling one another, which no longer needed face to face but still required a decent amount of social skills. Now, social networks, the internet, and texting creates a world that many people can tap into for hours without ever seeing another human being. They can update hundreds of people in the split of a second on Facebook and Twitter using a smartphone, which I’ve seen people as young as 8 years old own. Angela Mollard blogged about this issue and stated, “But, recently I’ve felt disconnected, which is absurd because last year I received 13,506 emails, sent 432 tweets and became Facebook ‘friends’ with someone I kissed in 1989. I’m so connected that I go online the second I wake up. I’m linked in, favourited, retweeted, liked” (Mollard, 2012). As Mollard states, I also believe that all of this technology connection has done nothing but pull us in closer to the virtual people while in all reality, pushing the people in our...

...Case Study of “Does America really need manufacturing”. Sriharsha Vennelaganti-Fs0792 1. Summary: In the case study we can see that the authors talk about the importance of innovation when it comes to the long-term success of every product company. By reading the article one gets an understanding that the authors are asking executives of any product company should not view manufacturing as a cost center and by shifting their manufacturing units offshore they are hindering a company’s capacity to innovate. In the end the authors give us different methods that a company can use to better improve their product line without shifting their manufacturing bases offshore and a way the government can help by providing policy incentives for the companies so that they can open their manufacturing units in United States. 2. Key Points: When we read this case study the one major point it talks about is the importance of manufacturing for United States. The article talks about the importance of product and process innovation, the role R&D plays in manufacturing. In the case study we can see that the authors talk about modularity and the maturity of manufacturing process. Modularized products lead to flexibility when it comes to the needs of end users and marketing. When it comes to manufacturing process the article talks about manufacturing levers such as sourcing and process innovation. From reading the article we can see that the authors provide an inherent understanding of the relationship...

Mxi claims that their software reduces repetitive tasks and time chasing missing or incomplete information by allowing maintenance, engineering, and finance divisions to easily share information. This assures the improvement of operational efficiency. • Maintenix can supply data to the company’s existing enterprise resource planning and financial software. • Wireless deployment also make Maintenix more effective, since aviation technicians, equipment, and parts are always on the move. • All of the information provided by Maintenix’s various modules is located in one place. This results in more rapid scheduling and avoids pitfalls of poorly organized information systems. 3) Give examples of three decisions supported by the Maintenix system. What information do the Maintenix modules provide to support each of these decisions? Maintenix...

Fitter Snacker Clients There are four versions of the Fitter Snacker Database client available for Student Exercises. In this document, the term Fitter Snacker Client will be used for the completely configured Fitter Snacker company. In addition to the Fitter Snacker Client, there are three other clients that are partially configured versions Fitter Snacker Client that can be used to teach SAP configuration. These clients are copies of the Fitter Snacker Client that were made during the development of the Fitter Snacker Client. The Fitter Snacker Client was created using the Dolphin Group configuration training document as a template. While there are significant differences between the Dolphin Group (and BPI) configuration classes, these are primarily in terms of the business context, although changes were made to make sure that each company in the Fitter Snacker Client was as independent as possible. The Fitter Snacker Client represents the fictitious Fitter Snacker Company...

...Part 1: Programming Solution Proposal Carl Same PRG/211 14 June 2014 Victer Echeverri Part 1: Programming Solution Proposal * Describe how you determined the problem that must be solved. The Tukwila Army recruiting center in Seattle, Washington process hundreds of applicants monthly to keep up with the demand for new recruits to the United States Army and the Army reserve. The demand for new recruits require a tremendous amount of management by the Army recruiters which is one of the reason of this proposal. This proposal will encompass all the needs of an Army recruiting center from tracking new applicants, manage prospect, and track future soldiers that are waiting to attend basic combat training. This program will also help higher echelon keep track of recruits by being able to see what each recruiter is doing in real time. The benefits of this program will increase efficiency and more reliable than using manual tracking method to keep up with future Soldiers. One great feature of this program will be sharing, it’s the concept where other recruiter will be able to see what other recruiters are working on and be able to pick up where other recruiter left off without the need of the authorization of the originator, and the originator will still receive credit for that recruit. * Describe the role of the personnel involved in the project. The complexity of this program require a group that is strong mentally, some people have a hard time working with others...

... Even in those divisions, communication and the require knowledge for better forecasting and financial planning are lacking. The ERP would improve the entire efficiency of the company’s processes. First and foremost, the ERP would enable all the diverse divisions to work as a single unit, provide a key knowledge development and ensure the seamless workflow of processes. As of now, access to information and data retrieval is difficult and cumbersome to analyze. This reduces the production efficiency of employees. With the ERP system all employees would have access to same information and/or data at the same time. Also the ERP has many modules such as inventory, order management, sales, human resource, procurement, warehousing, account payables/receivables and any module of your choice. This would improve productivity rates and each module is well integrated with the other. Finally the system runs on a single platform therefore making it accessible to all divisions across Canada. Overall the knowledge sharing experience would be greatly improved. The duration of implementation would take 6...

...Modularization, Commodization Modularity Definition: Modularity is a very general set of principles for managing complexity. By breaking up acomplex system into discrete pieces—which can then communicate with one another onlythrough standardized interfaces within a standardized architecture (Langlois, 2000) * Modularity is based on a systems theory view of organizations and their processes. It seeks to investigate how a system’s components are ‘coupled’ together and how tight these bonds are. * Modularity is important today because of the increased complexity of modern technology. * The driving normative basis for the investigation is that increased modularity enables the parts of a system to be separated and combined with much greater flexibility, and that such flexibility is desirable. * What is new is the application of the idea of modularity not only to technological design but also to organizational design. * A complex modern society might be made more productive through a modular design of social and economic institutions. * In a world of change, modularity is generally worth the costs. The goal is to find the modularization that minimizes interdependencies and most cleanly decomposes the system. * Innovation that takes place through change in the modules we can call modular innovation. * Handling complex systems become easier if break them up into sub-systems. * Complex product or process composed of smaller sub-systems that can be designed independently...

...said the BigCoSoft’s financial package is not good. Thus Jane already have another plan to deal with LargeCoSoft which financial module is top notch. So we do not need to buy BigCoSoft’s financial package. Secondly, as Joe Cole, the senior VP of human resources, emphasized that the Human Resource module of BigCoSoft’s also leaves much to be desired. Furthermore, Joe Cole just spent 12 million in the overhaul of the benefits management system. Therefore, we do not have necessary to buy their Human Resource module. Thirdly, “Enterprise systems are modular in nature,thus enabling the organization that purchase one to decide which functionalities to enable and which ones not to use.”from chapter 3 book. So I think we just buy something we need, we do not need the whole module which include some modules are not necessary. In my opinion, we can buy some parts of BigCoSoft’s module which is necessary or others company module which more suitable for us. 2. You vaguely recall this idea of best-of-breed applications from your information systems class two years ago. Could that approach work here? You can not do it. There are some reasons to refuting it .Firstly, everything are changed after two years, even if that idea was best-of-breed applications. Secondly, I believe that idea is not best of breed applications. That applications is old one. Therefore, you can just bring some useful theory and knowledge from that applications, you can not copy the whole...
