...LRR#1 Bryan Smith Lab Research Report # 1 Strayer University SCI 110.109GA063-1142-001 Introduction to Physical Science Professor Larry Smith January 27, 2014 The world has always been amazed with astronomy which is the study of earth, planets, space, and the universe as a whole. This is one of the oldest practice since the beginning of time. Many civilizations have studied this for years. This was before anyone came up with the idea to build a ship to visit other planets. People have always been amazed by the unknown, and this is why we still have people going to outer space to discover new things. The use of the research for studying outer space is known as Astronomy. According to the web dictionary Astronomy is the scientific study of the matter in outer space, especially the positions, dimensions, distribution, energy, and evolution of celestial bodies and phenomena (http://www.thefreedictionary.com). Early scientist could not just look up in the sky to measure how far away a star actually is and to see what else is up in space. There is other techniques and equipment is needed. Early scientist use a technique called triangulation. This was done by looking at a star and record its location. Then six months later scientist would look at the star again and measure the distance and record any changes (How are astronomers, 2000). The strength of an earthquake by measure the level of shaking on the...

...Business Technology – How has it improved or not improved business needs Alicia N.Swann University of Phoenix TEC/401 – Human Factors in Technology Tynia Landry September 12, 2011 Abstract This research paper will discuss how the ever changing technology has or has not helped out the business needs within my company. The discussion will be on the computers, to printers, to ordering supplies, and even how employees sign in and out for payroll purposes. Business Technology – How has it improved or not improved business needs Computers The technology division at my place of employment is currently looking at ways to replace our current computers with energy efficient computers. In the past employees were asked to shut the computers down completely, however, that didn’t work for numerous reasons. The idea was brought up to replace our existing computers with energy efficient computers but still the computer must perform with high performance as the computers we currently have. As an administrative assistant it is sort of a benefit because assistants are the first line of employees who receive the newest or latest upgrades, however, it can also be a downfall. Many times with the new software it simply does not meet county expectations. When the expectations do not meet the standards it often times holds up the administrative work progress. This is due to the removal of the software that was installed, or the software didn’t work correctly, some computers we...

...SALES ORDER PROCESS The sales order process was documented to allow for the smooth flow of sales orders through to invoices and deliveries. It is meant to act as a guide for employees when executing this system. The goal is to set standards and alleviate or minimise errors. This is intended to give additional confidence to everyone involved in this process and to enhance the customer experience in every transaction with the company. The Sales Manager would be closest to this process. To achieve the desired goals and objectives, he should strive to accomplish sales targets with the least amount of cost, time and resources involved. Having a documented system will raise efficiency providing that the system is operating well and everyone has the knowledge and skills to use it. Every system will need to be upgraded using proven techniques of continuous improvement to make the system more efficient. A system is known as a group of parts, events, or processes that are interdependent and connected together in a distinct form. The point is bringing together each part through systems thinking so that the whole organisation survives and thrives. Undoubtedly a lot can go wrong with a system and therefore we must consider a few things. Here are some that are applicable: * Connections between departments across the organisation * Asking the five whys (Grubb, 2008)to find the root of a problem * Patterns of behaviour * Use a systematic six step process to solve...

...Meditech case Q1. What are Meditech’s Problems in introducing new products? In manufacturing ALL products? New products face forecasting problems. So in the beginning, as they can see in the data (graph of Weekly Net Order for New Products) of previous years, the demand in the first few weeks is booming. They should adjust their production numbers to the higher demand, until it will ease after week 4-6. In the weeks after the introduction peak the business should keep production on a constant level without having too much inventory but still enough to keep a 1 2/3 weeks of demand. There is a lot of data available but it is scattered over different systems in different areas of the organization. Therefore the data is practically useless. No routine way to see incoming demand for a new product. Configuring one universal data sheet was difficult because of the use of different time spans in different systems. A week’s notice before production change is too long. Q2. What is driving these problems, both systemically and organizationally? The business is decentralized, which means that there different areas work with different standards and system. Therefore they cannot quickly respond to each other. Problems are recognized too late. Problems are known, but because of the different systems that are used, this information is not properly communicated throughout the different departments of the business which results in slow response to problems (i.e. changes...

Hershey received its scheduled order with invoice containing the terms of sale and the forum selection clause. • The forums selection clause on the invoice provided the courts of Delaware with elusive jurisdiction in case of any disputes arising under the contract between Solae and Hershey. • In October 2006, after distributing over two million units of its product, Hershey discovered that the last order of soy lecithin was contaminated with salmonella. • Thereafter, Hershey had to recall a lot of its products and this resulted in temporary shutdown of its Smith Falls plant and a launch of a full-fledged investigation by the Canadian government. • Hershey then held Solae responsible for its losses and refused to pay or accept delivery of any further consignments. • In response, Solae...

...Week l1 Reflection Summary – Week 2 Learning Team Assignment In Week 1, we learned about how technology has changed the work and home environment. We discussed how the environment has changed from 40 years ago to one year ago. From computers to phones to entering a building, technology has evolved tremendously over the years. Due to this evolution of technology companies are constantly modifying processes and procedures to keep up with the advancement of technology. Home life also changed from televisions to phone - the more advanced technology becomes the more advanced people have to become with devices. We also discussed the order of importance and we realized the order of speed, availability, accuracy and consistency is based on the individuals’ need and on the system that they are working in. Support was also suggested to be part of the benefits list because without support and they are issues in the system it would be impossible to have any of the benefits at all. We also discussed working remotely using virtual private network (VPN). The benefits of VPN and how it can assist companies with having individuals work outside of the office. Along with VPN, disaster recovery plans were also discussed and how they can benefit a company to have one in place in the case of a disaster. Our assignment last week was based on acts and how being technically advanced can have an effect of acts. Acts are created to put a “law” into place for situations that can occur...
