...Carré - the magnificent mind behind the video for Sia's forthcoming single, 'Soon We'll Be Found.' What inspired the basic concept of the video and who came up with the idea of using sign language? Was it input from Sia or was it your visual response to the lyrics? It was Sia's idea to incorporate sign language in the video -I was told she would like to include it in some way when I received the song to write the treatment. I loved the idea of doing the entire video in sign language instead of lip synching the vocals. A music video is a visualization of the song, and the sign language is an interpretation of the song into a visual language, so it's a perfect fit. What was the purpose behind using so many different kinds of light sources and the shadows they create? I wanted to explore different aspects of sign language. In the first section where Sia is performing under regular lights, the sign language is treated in its linguistic form as a method of communication, and the focus is on the performative aspect of the ASL (American Sign Language) interpretation. The shadow section is kind of a creative expansion on the relationship between signs and their meaning. The shadows of the hands directly transform into things themselves, and create an imaginary world around Sia. Where the shadow section is more two-dimensional, the UV section is four-dimensional and plays with the shapes of the signs in time and space (particularly with the trailing effect) and the extension of the signs...

...Chapter One As accounting students we have studied a variety of accounting areas involving financial and taxes. The accounting information course appears to be a course that heads in a different direction then what we as students have become accustomed to. Speaking for myself I have always been drawn to the accounting field because it is a black and white area. In other words, there it is organized and has right and wrong answers, this leaving out the gray areas between right and wrong. Accounting information systems appears to be throwing us into a whole new area of the study of accounting. The fine line between right and wrong is becoming smudged into a gray area. With accounting information system we are being thrown into an area that is now unfamiliar to what we have come to know as right or wrong. This accounting information system is designed to help us think outside of the box by providing unstructured problems that will increase our ability to develop professional judgment, our confidence in our ability, and use more critical thinking. The conceptual framework was developed in the late 1970’s by the FASB to be used as a guide for accounting principles. The conceptual framework is set up as a pyramid that has three levels. The top level provides the objective of financial reporting: provide information to decision makers, the second or middle level is divided into two parts, one part is aimed at the elements of financial statements and the second part is geared towards...

...In: Business and Management Westover Electrical Inc Problem definition: Westover Electrical Inc. is facing an increasing problem with the rejected products found during the manufacturing operation where they couldn’t find the source of the problem. For the past two months, the costs incurred due to these rejects have increased and as a result the company decided to act as soon as possible. This report defines the investigation done to find the problem by studying the supply chain starting with the production floor in the winding department and then going to the packaging department. In the winding department, no one knows what the problem is or how to correct it. In the packaging department, many windings are found to be defective and require reworking before they can be packaged. This is consuming a lot of time and rework. The report then gives the results found and the recommendations suggested for the problem. Problem analysis: Using some of the TQM tools, we will try to find the cause of the problem. 1.

...analysis and execution is critical to an industrial laundry operation considering the direct correlation between time and cost. A wash floor process takes soiled textiles (inputs), launders said textiles, and provides clean textiles (outputs) to be finished and delivered to existing customers (Chase, Jacobs, & Aquilano, 2006, p. 154). Various factors can affect the process flow that directly influence processing times essential to direct processing costs and ensuring finished goods are available for delivery on time. The wash floor process is visualized with a flowchart providing visual systematic design and flow. The flowchart also serves as a working blueprint of the wash floor designs that can be manipulated for process improvement as required. This study discusses factors that influence production flow leveraging time and number of pounds processed as the key metrics in measuring process improvement. A process flowchart is provided as visual representation of a standard commercial wash floor design and system. Business Scenario Alsco Inc. is a global textile rental company headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. Alsco was the first company to introduce textile services to the world in 1889 and has remained a privately held family-owned business for over 120 years (Alsco Inc). Alsco owns and manages more than 80 branch locations in the United States alone that produce and deliver textile rental services to over a quarter of a million businesses. Each branch...

...Individual Project #4 Quality Management and Continuous Improvement Control & Six Sigma James Hawthorne American InterContinental University April 14, 2013 Abstract This paper looks at the process mapping for the new check-in and check-out procedures, along with the new procedure for offering fresh towels and linens for guests. The cost savings and improved customer satisfaction is presented, as well as the redirection of labor costs in some unexpected areas. The team of DYKOM does make a recommendation at the end to the management team on what it will take to fully integrate the new method and process mapping. Introduction: The staff at DYKOM would like to thank the management team at Hotel Escargo for opening up the entire hotel operations window, and allowing DYKOM to observe and critique the hidden logistics of what it takes to provide Hotel Escargo’s level of customer satisfaction at the front desk for checking-in and checking-out valued guests, and also for the way it handles additional linen and towel requests. In previous meetings between DYKOM and Hotel Escargo the need to change the process of checking guests in and out has been discussed and the redesign approved. The DYKOM team has provided flow charts for the improved operations in an effort to expedite guests to their rooms to relax and begin recreating. However, DYKOM has received a few correspondences from the hotel management team wanting a more detailed, but simplified breakdown of...

...Pseudocode: An Introduction Flowcharts were the first design tool to be widely used, but unfortunately they do not very well reflect some of the concepts of structured programming. Pseudocode, on the other hand, is a newer tool and has features that make it more reflective of the structured concepts. Unfortunately, the narrative presentation is not as easy to understand and follow. RULES FOR PSEUDOCODE 1. Write only one stmt per line Each stmt in your pseudocode should express just one action for the computer. If the task list is properly drawn, then in most cases each task will correspond to one line of pseudocode. EX: TASK LIST: Read name, hourly rate, hours worked, deduction rate Perform calculations gross = hourlyRate * hoursWorked deduction = grossPay * deductionRate net pay = grossPay – deduction Write name, gross, deduction, net pay PSEUDOCODE: READ name, hourlyRate, hoursWorked, deductionRate grossPay = hourlyRate * hoursWorked deduction = grossPay * deductionRate netPay = grossPay – deduction WRITE name, grossPay, deduction, netPay 2. Capitalize initial keyword In the example above, READ and WRITE are in caps. There are just a few keywords we will use: READ, WRITE, IF, ELSE, ENDIF, WHILE, ENDWHILE, REPEAT, UNTIL 3. Indent to show hierarchy We will use a particular indentation pattern in each of the design structures: SEQUENCE: keep statements that are “stacked” in sequence all starting in the same column. SELECTION: indent the statements that fall inside...

...Design a Flowchart for a Process Ana A, Brown OPS/571 October 17, 2012 Dave Kunz Design a Flowchart for a Process Every day of our daily lives is a part of a process. Everybodys parts of the process are different in many ways and still the same in other ways. When Ana was working six month ago her routine was the same three days of the week and the other two different. Ana is on disability now until February 2013 and my days differ on a daily bases. Ana will design a flowchart process that states how she would like to spend less time on her routine of going to work. The daily process that she would like to do more efficiently is spend less time doing her morning routine. Ana have chosen this process because it would allow her to examine the process she uses every day to get ready for her day and hopefully find ways to reduce the time it takes her to complete her daily routine. To assist Ana in her journey for a more efficient daily routine she has chosen to use a flowchart to document her daily routine process (flowchart, 2010). Discovering Impacting Aspect The major decisions to be made during Ana morning routine, is does she get up when her alarm clock goes off or does she hit the snooze button? After Ana get out of bed she thinks should she make her coffee to drink now or for the road? After that she ask myself does she brush my teeth first and get dress or does she do her hair and makeup? All the decisions affect the...

...Chapter I Introduction 1.1 Background of the Study A clearance system has been a significant part in any institution. It is a tool to control the access to any resources or services available for use to create a general security for that institution. In an educational institution, a clearance signifies that a student is cleared from all his requirements and liabilities so that he can proceed to the next step on any transaction or process that he or she is undertaking. Student clearance is often used during the end of a school year or semester to verify if the student has paid all his or her fines and submitted all requirements. This prevents problems that might occur due to the unsettled school requirements. The AMA Computer College General Santos City is a small privately owned school that offers four courses in computer and information technology. It is a branch of the AMA Computer University and is located in J.P Laurel Avenue, General Santos City. Being a member of the AMA Education System, the school uses the same system as that of the main campuses. Although having a computerized system, it does not have an integrated student clearance system. The school currently uses a manual clearance system which involves a clearance form printed on paper that is then signed by authorized school personnel. Students are required to approach each personnel to check for any requirements not cleared. A big part of it comes from the Student Council and some departments of the school...

...CanGo needs to go beyond bench testing and go through the beta test phases Beta Stage 1- Private Contacts should be ready the first day the beta launches. The product you are asking people to test should be relevant to their interest or job. We recommend contacting people you knew who run web hosting companies or have servers that could actually directly benefit from the product. Beta Stage 2 – Private You now need to approach people who you don’t know. Run this for several weeks getting detailed feedback from users who were involved. This is the best time to build a good relationship with a small number of users who are already linked into your product development. The best possible outcome is users who start promoting for you. It is important to invite only a small number of people at a time – the trickle effect. If you have too many users you won’t be able to co-ordinate the feedback Beta Stage 3 – Public And then go public It is important to remember that people who sign up to an open beta probably won’t provide feedback. This is because they’re more likely to be testing it out to see if it’s any good and don’t actually care about helping you out.

...Assessment for Quality Improvement Quality improvement should be a major focus in any organization and requires four basic steps: “…specify the requirements, design the product, create the product, and examine the product.” (Burrill and Ledolter, 1999, p. 142). Each process must be completed in order as each is important. Once requirements and specifications have been determined, resources and standards can be evaluated to create and test the product. The means of creation will be different in various organizations but the process remains the same. During every part of each process, flow charts can be analyzed to make proper decisions; strategic plans must be considered; impact on all stakeholders must be evaluated; and appropriate quality management tools must be determined. Each member of the team involved in writing this paper completed a simulation exercise on “Quality Management and Productivity” to determine the ability to analyze data. Information on the above considerations, perceptions of the simulation and suitable quality management tools to improve processes in a health facility are furnished in this paper. Description of the Create Process “Create is the process of actually producing the required product. Whether the product is a house, a gourmet meal, a term paper, or a clean office, this stage involves the creation of a product according to the product requirements.” (Burrill and Ledolter, 1999, p. 148). The creator is simply creating something different, depending...

...States and the largest neonatal intensive care unit in the Southeast, and APH ranks fifth out of 5,000 hospitals nationwide in patient satisfaction. “Part of the reason for APH’s success,” says Executive Director Kathy Swanson, “ is the our continuous improvement process. Our goal is 100% patient satisfaction. But getting there means constantly examing and reexaming everything we do, from patient flow, to cleanliness, to layout spaces, to colors on the walls, to speed of medication delivery from pharmacy to patient. Continuous improvements is a huge and never ending task.”. One of the tools the process flow chart. Staffer Diane Bowles, who carries the “Clinical Practice Improvement Consultant” charts scores of processes. Bowles’s flowcharts help study ways to improve the turnaround of a vacated room (especially important in a hospital that has operated at 130% of capacity for years), speed up the admission process, and deliver warm meals warm. Lately, APH has been examining the flow of maternity patients (and their paperwork) from the moment they enter the hospital until they are discharged, hopefully with their healthy baby a day or two later. The flow of maternity patients follows these steps: 1. Enter APH’s Labor and Delivery check-in desk entrance. 2. If the baby is born en route or if birth is imminent, the mother and baby are taken by elevator and registered and admitted directly at bedside. They are then taken to a Labor and Delivery Triage room on the 8th...
