...How Information System Transformed Package Delivery Business By: Tricia Jones Information technology has transformed tremendously over the years for UPS package business. The DIAD system enabled the drivers to make all of his or her deliveries without errors. For example, if the driver tries to deliver a package to the wrong customer he alerted that it is an incorrect delivery, which in turn eliminates driver error and helps to save the company money and makes the customer happy, by them getting their package on time. The DAID system has allowed for greater mobility and flexibility in the package delivery operations of UPS. It also allows UPS to track packages worldwide with its GPS and Bluetooth software. Information can be sent wirelessly which in fact would decrease the transit time, but increases reliability. UPS can also keep in touch with the driver at any time of the day via text message for whatever reasons. The UPS technology offer customers many option in keeping up with their package. From tracking their own package, freight planning, freight truck packaging optimization, in addition to basic shipment of packages.

...Sampson Racing Case Organizational Leadership – Fall 2011 John Perron I really tried to think about the Framing of this scenario as I also went through the numbers. One unique perspective that I had is that as a young man I used to race motorcycles. While I understand the basic costs and the elements of racing that are presented here, I was surprised that there was never any concern for the driver’s safety in this scenario. It should be the number one concern when making a decision to race or not race. It was not even an element presented in the framing of this decision-making exercise. That being said, I included that in my analysis. I took the approach of listing the facts that the scenario presented and tried to look at the cost of racing versus not racing in the same way as I would look at any scenario where lives are also at stake as in going to the moon, or having brain surgery. Certainly at racings speeds, lives are at stake. How much is a driver’s life worth? There are no guarantees in this scenario for $1,000,000+….it only says Goodstone is considering it. Is a driver’s life worth more or less than $1,000,000? The current financial state of the team is $32,500 in the hole. There are 4 possible outcomes in this scenario: 1) Sampson Team decides to race and finishes in the Top 5 50% Chance. Result: There were no definite numbers, but let’s guess and say that the new annual sponsorship is worth $1,000,000+. 2) Sampson Team decides to race...

... the increased flexibility and user-friendliness of computer databases make these systems a crucial business component. In fact, some universities are now using Computer Database Management System for a faster and safer manifestation of data. However, the Office of Community Improvement Division (CID) with their City College Scholarship Program (CCSP) of City Hall Cagayan de Oro City encounters a problem of maintaining and recovering scholar profiles using the manual data processing. Manual processing is known for its accurate results but it is only good when the number of data to be process is less. In updating of scholar records, it takes time in retrieving their records. For safekeeping and fast data processing, development of a Computerized Profiling System should be in hand. This study is designed to achieve effectively in collecting and retrieving of scholar records. The Office of the Community Improvement Division (CID) has not yet established a Computerized Profiling System. Thus the researchers propose a development of a database for scholar profile for the benefit of the scholars and office of the Community Improvement Division (CID), this programmed database is of great help to the mechanism and can improve the function of the office to be more organized in keeping file(s). Objectives of the Study This study aimed on the design and development of a computerized profiling system that will surely...

Prior to the civil war, the slaves in the Southern part of America were traditionally provided salted pork as a gift to enjoy on holiday. The slaves would run into frantic for the barrel .

...1 Challenges We Face in FM by John Vinken, IFMA Toronto President Vinken’s Views - President’s Message Spring has sprung in Southern Ontario and my mind races onward with ideas that I want to implement both at work and home. And what a better way to explore these ideas and develop some structure around them, than by hiring a person that is motivated, energetic, and able to acquire current knowledge easily. Yeah I know you are asking “Where do I get in line for someone like that?” Well what I have just described is a co-op student. I have my usual 2 co-op students already reserved and they will be starting in 3 weeks time. And let me tell you my whiteboard is filling with initiatives and ideas for these two to deal with. And with two facility management related college programs in the area (at Humber College and at Conestoga Collage) there are co-op students looking for jobs in the facility management field. If you want the contact information use the membership CD just sent to you and on the opening page are the hyperlinks for both of these institutions. This is the third year that IFMA Toronto has produced the membership CD rather than published a membership roster. There are, of course, issues with this year’s CD as there have been with every membership roster created in history I believe. Some of the problems are related to getting updated information about member. As an example when people renew their membership and if it is tardy the membership listing we acquire...

...INCREASING SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM EFFICIENCY 1 Increasing Efficiency in a Community College Scholarship Program Margit Brumbaugh Concordia University Portland An Action Research Proposal/Report Presented to The Graduate Program in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Masters in Education/Educational Leadership Concordia University Portland 2011 INCREASING SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM EFFICIENCY 2 Abstract This action research was designed to increase the efficiency of a community college scholarship program. The research developed in response to a desire to increase numbers of scholarship applications from students and to streamline the selection and financial reconciliation processes at the research site. The literature search revealed these aims to be common among community college scholarship programs nationwide. Data was gathered through surveys, interviews, and observations. Data analysis suggests that passive information on the part of colleges, lack of student confidence in qualifications, and lack of student awareness of the differences in scholarship criteria are significant contributing factors leading to low rates of application. Data related to recipient selection processes show that committee training, the use of multiple reviewers, and the use of consistently-applied scoring rubrics increase selection efficiency. Results suggest further research possibilities to determine the extent to which various scholarship marketing strategies, and the manner...

...English 101 Ms. Floyd April 24, 2014 Inequality of Education in Baltimore City Schools There has been long ongoing debate of the levels of education when comparing public and private education institutions. Some argue that public education is for the poor and is not the most effective form of education when it comes to personal development. Baltimore City public schools has a high level of educational inequality when compared to private schools and it shows in their dropout rate, the poor preparation for college, and additional other factors outside of the schools that impact the educational development of the students. With education being the most vital part of a child’s development, one would believe there would be microscopic monitoring in this area of our city. We have shifted the focus from schools widely in the Baltimore City area and cut a lot of programs that helped develop and prepare kids for life. It is amazing that Baltimore has found funding to open two new casinos in downtown Baltimore City but has not added any more funding to the Baltimore City educational department. Our City leaders have raised taxes in the Baltimore City to all-time highs and it has made it harder for families to support a higher level of education for their children with after care programs as well as enrolling them into different schools. Also, one must consider the factor of kids just giving up because there has not been a strong focus on education within Baltimore City. In comparison...
