...Note Taking Note taking is an important skill for students to learn. It provides you with the ability to be able to take a personal record of what you are reading or listening to. If we do our own note taking it means that we can provide ourselves with an accurate account, without the possibility of plagiarism. There are many forms of note taking. Linear note taking and pattern note taking are the two main ways to take notes. When I personally take notes, if I am listening to someone and I have to take notes I will write in a linear form, sequential note taking and then later change my notes to a patterned form, spider diagram, so I can make reference to them later. If I am reading, however, I usually go straight to spider diagrams as I find them easier to read at a later date. Although, on the sheet attached, by completing the note taking analysis I have learnt that I need to improve the way I take notes considerably. My time frame to complete this task is one year. My notes are badly organised, not numbered, occasionally hard to understand, I rarely abbreviate and points are not clearly laid out. However, I do write it in my own words and it is generally brief. I plan to work on these points over the next year as well as over the next four weeks. After reflecting on my note taking skills I have learnt that I need to review how I take notes. I plan on using varying ways to take notes from now on. I will vary my note taking with other forms such as mind maps and work on...

...THE RITZ-CARLTON CREDO The Ritz-Carlton is a place where the genuine care and comfort of our guests is our highest mission. We pledge to provide the best service and facilities for our guests who will always enjoy a warm, relaxed yet refined ambience. The Ritz-Carlton experience enlivens the senses, instils well-being, and fulfills even the unexpressed wishes and needs of our guests. THE RITZ-CARLTON MOTTO "We are Ladies and Gentlemen serving Ladies and Gentlemen." Practice teamwork and "lateral service" (i.e., employee-to-employee contact) to create a positive work environment. 1. In what ways could the Ritz-Carlton monitor its success in achieving quality? Ritz-Carlton (RC) could monitor its success in achieving quality through the following ways: A. Benchmark the level of service (Gold Standard) they want to see in their hotels all the time and use that standard to meet and exceed each and every customer expectation. B. Employ a simple survey via the use of a questionnaire or “comment card” to gather data about customers’ satisfaction of the service and their stay at any of the hotel locations. Also incent those customers who do fill out those surveys (e.g. raffle for a free night’s stay). C. Track the fluctuation of the turn-out (increase or decrease) of customers. This could also be considered as an indication of customer satisfaction especially for those customers who can’t be bothered to answer a simple survey. D. Document immediately customer...

Source: Freiburg, Kevin, and Jackie Freiburg, “Nuts! Southwest Airlines’ Crazy Recipe for Business and Personal Success,” Bard Press, 1996, p. 120. 1. The Ritz-Carlton can monitor quality in the short run by customer feedback. Questionnaires in the room, follow-up letters and phone calls by independent services, tracking com-plaints, and ultimately by occupancy rates. There are, of course, objective measures in many aspects of hotel operations. These include room cleanliness, quality of food, accuracy of billing, and reservations. 2. For companies that expect quality to be more than a slogan we suggest they follow the ideas of the text: A philosophy of continuous improvement Employee empowerment Benchmarking Just-in-time (JIT) Knowledge of tools 3. The lack of quality will manifest itself in room rate reductions, extra supervision, complaints, and ultimately lower occupancy. 4. Great question for class discussion: control charts can be used for tracking customer complaints, Pareto diagrams to find where to focus improvement efforts, cause-and-effect diagrams to analyze the source of causes, in the kitchen, reservations, billing, etc. 5. Some nonfinancial measures of quality might include those noted above: room service, food quality, customer complaints, etc. ADDITIONAL CASE STUDY* WESTOVER ELECTRICAL...

...Case Report: Kristen’s Cookie Company Question 1 How long will it take to fulfill a rush order? | Gantt Chart for Kristen's Cookie Case | | | | | | | | | | | | | To fulfill the rush order it is still necessary to go through all parts of the process illustrated on the process flow diagram of the cookie-making process (it can be found on the last page). As there are no processes that can be done in a parallel way, every stage follows the other. Calculating the time needed for each step it can be concluded that the order can’t be prepared less than in 26 minutes. Question 2 How many orders can you fill in a night, assuming you are open 4 hours each night? We already know from the first question, the first dozen can be fulfilled in 26 minutes. Lets have a look, on the fastest possible way to prepare the second and all the following dozens. I can start preparing the 2nd order as soon as I start heating the oven (the chart visually demonstrates it): According to the chart it takes 26 minutes to fill the first order and 10 minutes more to fill each following order. From here we have: Operating time = 4*60 = 240 minutes The formula for counting the amount of orders that are able to be produced can be seen as: 16+10n <= 240 where n is the numbers of orders. From this equation we get, that n(max) = 22 dozen. So during 4 hours in a night one can prepare 22 dozen of cookies in 236 minutes. Question 3 How much of your own and your roommate’s valuable...

...System Analysis Design for a Library System CS200 Fundamentals of Information Technology Module 1 Assignment 2 System Analysis Design for a Library System Suppose you are helping to develop a library system for your community. Here is a brief description of various scenarios using this library system. • Bob wanted to become a member at his local library. He went in and filled out an application form with his name, address, phone number, and driver's license number and gave it to the librarian, Alice. Alice logged into the system with her id and created a new membership for Bob. She then provided Bob with his new library card, and a login and password to his account. • Bob wanted to borrow two novels by C.S. Lewis, but he couldn’t remember their names. He used one of the computers at the library to search for the books by using the author's name. He found the titles he wanted, which were “The Chronicles of Narnia” and "The Space Trilogy". The first book was shown as available, and the second book was shown as out on loan. • Using his new login and password, Bob logged into his account and requested the book "The Space Trilogy" in order to recall it, so that when the book was returned it would be held for him at the library. • Bob then went to the stacks and found the book "The Chronicles of Narnia" on the shelf, and waited in line at the desk to check it out. He presented his ID card, and checked out the book with the librarian. • Before leaving the library...

...I continued transferring the data I gathered last Friday. I had scheduled my self that I need to finish the reports by 10:00 am to start the tasks given by Sir TJ and Ma’am Loi. Sir TJ asked me to determine the time it takes to finish the four tests in the PCM Wire bond Area 4 and Area 5. The tests included were Ball Shear Test, Wire Pull Test, Ball Access Ratio, and Loop Height. For Area 4 I had already data regarding the Ball Shear Test and the Wire Pull Test, so I just need to time the remaining two test. However, I need it would be my first time for the four tests in Area 5. Moreover, I need to identify what type of die (quad or dual) was being processed. On the other hand, ma’am Loi urgently needs the data about the length of time it takes to finish the Vacuum Dry Pack Operation in Packing Area EOL Area 5. It was already 9:30 but I was still organizing the data for the utilization report. The utilization project was the hardest I had handled so far, because I need to continously observe the time of both the operator and the machine. Ma’am Gem came and asked me if I had sent it to her. I told her that I am still typing the utilization report for Day 2 but I am already done with Day 1. She told me to send the report for her to see the results. She sat beside me and asked about the details of my report. We found out the only 37% was the utilization of the machine and the operator for four hours I conducted TMS. We were discussing about the results and I was struggling to continue...

...methodologies, in my opinion, for the Project Stock would be Network Flow Diagram and Project Software. Using Network Flow Diagram will help ShoeRUs to visualize and understand how the project will work and proceed. This diagram will also display the link with all the components of the project. (Network Diagram, 2015) One more strength of this methodology is that the format of this diagram will make it easier to determine the flow of the project, where the current project is in its lifecycle and also link of activities taking place during the whole lifecycle. The main aim of this methodology is to enable to create a diagram for the project broken down into smaller tasks which are important for completing the whole project. Another methodology is the Project Software. There are a lot of strengths that comes with this type of methodology. One of its strengths is that it provides the company to evaluate the direction that the project is taking. It also helps the company to revisit every task in the project lifecycle.
