inventory accuracy, and cloud networking are needed to sustain supply chain management in the future. Case Background 1. What did you do in the simulation? 2. What activities did you engage in? 3. What did you learn about what's going on? 4. What have you learned about supply chain management from your participation in this simulation? Anyone can perform a simple analysis manually. However as the complexity of the analysis increases, so does the need to employ computer-based

which portfolio is being considered (e.g., Equity derivatives book), the confidence level (e.g., 97.5%) and the holding period (e.g., 10 days). VaR objectively tries to combine the sensitivity of the portfolio to market changes and the probability of a given market change. VaR has been adopted by the Basel Committee to set the standard for the minimum amount of capital to be held against the market risks. VaR can be used to estimate risk in the case of various financial instruments including

2nd Flow Control Conference 28 Jun - 1 Jul 2004 / Portland, Oregon AIAA-2004-2319 Aerodynamic Performance of Biological Airfoils Abel Vargas* and Rajat Mittal† The George Washington University, Washington, D.C., 20052 Experimental studies on static, non-flapping dragonfly wings have shown favorable aerodynamic performance at low Reynolds number (Re ≤ 10,000). High lift is hypothesized to arise from the dragonfly’s pleated wing structure. A numerical study of flow past a modeled dragonfly

Reflective Report: An analysis of Everest Simulations | Evaluating experiences | Joey Lai z3332966 | Executive Summary: This report is a reflection of the experiences of the two Everest Simulations, examining and analysing the individual’s actions and their role and the impact it has on the group. The discussion then incorporates theories of communication, leadership and organisational structure to compare and critically analyse the results of the simulations and determine the overall success of

Leading Change Paper University of Phoenix Good Sport, Inc manufactures and sells fitness equipment such as treadmills, exercise bikes and other exercise equipment. The company was founded by an ex-basketball player Jason Poole in Coral Springs Florida. The company has created a hierarchy organizational structure which includes a span of control. “Span of control is the number of people directly reporting to the next level in the organizational hierarchy,” (McShane & Von Glinow, Chpt. 15 pg 17)

he did hand simulations (or calculations) of the stock-flow-feedback structure of the GE plants, which included the existing corporate decision-making structure for hiring and layoffs. Forrester was able to show how the instability in GE employment was due to the internal structure of the firm and not to an external force such as the business cycle. These hand simulations were the beginning of the field of system dynamics. During 1960s, the problem solving evolved from hand simulations

Ethics Game Simulation Milan Kascelan MGT216 April 10, 2011 Sonny Bowman Ethics Game Simulation Introduction: In this paper, will be focusing on two important cases: the Case of Warning and Risk and the Case of Standards. Before we begin, I think that it is vital that we identify the stake holders involved because they play very important roles in determining the decisions of the organization and are also the people who are directly affected by the various decisions. In both cases, the

In week four, the innovative firm, Quasar, is introduced in the market structures simulation. Quasar is leading the way in the computer industry with the design and manufacturing of an all optical notebook computer. Through the market structures simulation, examples on how decision-making differ among the market structures of monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition, and perfect competition. This simulation and the real-life scenarios detailed within, provide insight and understanding to the
