Discussion3: Systems Theory in Social Work Practice
The various social systems involved in the case study
of; Working with Children and Adolescents: The Case of Noah
included Psychodynamic theory, Social learning theory, and
Cognitive behavioral therapy. Psychodynamic theory tries to
explain influences of personality in terms of the unconscious
and conscious forces. Noah was definitely unconscious of all
the bad things he was doing. Social learning theory brings out
the idea that learning mainly occurs through imitation and
observation. This then means then a new behavior will continue
if reinforced. This explains the improvement experienced when
Noah was put in a foster home and the Child Protection Service
being keen on him. The foster parents also ensured good
communication between Noah and them. The theory insists on
application of a new concept than just hearing it. The learning
process for Noah was made more efficient when his mother was
terminated from getting her parental rights because she did not
adhere to the reunification plan. This shows that she was a
setback in Noah’s change. The systems theory I selected is the
Cognitive behavioral therapy theory. It mainly focuses on the
relationship between behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. As a
child protection social worker, you can use the theory to assist
various clients in identifying patterns self-destructive thoughts,
patterns of irrational thoughts and generally the behaviors
influencing emotions (Plummer et.al. 2014).

Life-cycle costs (LCC) are the total sum of costs for a project or
product from the time that it is manufactured all the way to the
recycling and disposal fees. According to Barringer (2003),
"Life cycle cost is the total cost of ownership of machinery and
equipment, including its cost of acquisition, operation,
maintenance, conversion, and/or decommission" (Pg. 2).
Normally when thinking about the costs associated with projects
or products, people consider the manufacturing, transportation,
labor, etc., but there are often costs associated with the LCC
that are overlooked. The LCC encompasses all the costs
associated with manufacturing, sustaining, and
decommissioning projects or products from the time that it is
created to the very end of its life. A good example of all the
costs of LCC and how they are typically overlooked could be all
the costs associated with the construction of a major bridge over
the Mississippi River. Initially, the costs for construction would
be high as expected, but LCC also takes into account the costs
to maintain the bridge through repairs, labor costs, as well as
the deconstruction of the bridge and phasing out of major
components once the bridge has reached the end of its lifespan.
Many of these costs can be offset through tolls, taxes, etc., and
that is where the benefit cost analysis (BCA) comes into play
and why it is often confused with the LCCA. According to
USDOT (2002), "Unlike LCCA, BCA considers the benefits of
an improvement as well as its costs and therefore can be used to
compare design alternatives that do not yield identical benefits
(e.g., bridge replacement alternatives that vary in the level of
traffic they can accommodate), as well as to compare projects
that accomplish different objectives (a road realignment versus
a widening project). Moreover, BCA can be used to determine
whether or not a project should be undertaken at all (i.e.,

9. whether the project’s life-cycle benefits will exceed its life-
cycle costs" (Pg. 8).
Effective management of LCC requires an in-depth analysis of
all the possible costs associated with a given project or product.
Many future costs may seem negligible during construction, but
can be incredibly costly in the long run if overlooked. This
analysis affects the supply chain, because it provides insight
into what systems and services will be needed before the
construction of a project even begins. If a bridge will require
new support beams every 10 years, then steps can be taken
ahead of time to ensure that the supply chain can support the
needs of the bridge project. Within advanced supply chain
operations, LCCA is a tool that allows supply chain mangers to
be proactive instead of reactive in streamlining their processes.

Life Cycle Cost is the cost that a project or product will cost
from the time it is envisioned to the time it is retired. There are
many different steps within this process to include R&D, testing
costs, marketing costs, manufacturing costs, storage and
distribution costs and reverse logistics and retirement costs.
LCC is something that must be examined and weighed at the
very beginning of a project through the use of a Life Cycle Cost
Analysis. “Life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) is an evaluation
technique applicable for the consideration of certain
transportation investment decisions. Specifically, when it has
been decided that a project will be implemented, LCCA will

10. assist in determining the best— the lowest-cost—way to
accomplish the project” (U.S. Department of Transportation,
2002).
LCC and LCCA are very important to the supply chain because
it touches every facet within the chain. Logistics does not
simply stop after the planning process and implementation of a
product or project are complete. Each product that is created has
a lift cycle timeline, the considerations for when it is phased out
must be devised as technology changes, and newer, more robust
products are created. The decision on whether to overhaul or
retire a product is important as overhauling can be cost
effective to newer designs. Advanced supply chains take life
cycle costs into careful consideration to ensure that they are
maximizing their efforts on a product or project, creating the
most cost effective effort for the end user.

DQ #1: Explain the relationship between logistics and supply
chain management?
I’ll preface with a response to the question from my perspective
and follow up with a response based on the text. Logistics is
everything involved in providing goods and/or services to
consumers. That means production, storage, inventory
management and distribution. An example is a firm that makes
shovels; the shovels are made in KS (production), stored in MO
(Storage/inventory mgt), shipped to a distribution hub in KY
and distributed nationwide (distribution). This simple example

11. captures the essence of logistics and the many facets involved
with managing logistic systems. The logistics management is
nested in the supply chain management.
According to the text, Supply Chain Management is an extended
set of enterprises from the supplier’s supplier to the customer’s
customer. Logistics Management encompasses logistics
systems not only in the private business sector but also in the
public/government and nonprofit sectors(Coyle 2017) A Supply
Chain is also referred to as a Logistic Channel in the text, The
supply chain of network organizations engages in transfer,
storage, handling, communication, and other functions that
contribute to the efficient flow of goods. In essence Logistics
is an important part of supply chain management. The
integration of logistics systems in a firms supply chain helps
facilitate successful supply chain management.
DQ # 2: Define the principles of tapering rates, blanket rates,
and commercial zones and the implication of each on location
selection.
The tampering rate principle is a concept that is a result of the
carrier’s ability to spread certain fixed shipment costs, such as
loading, billing, and handling, over a greater number of
miles. This principle impacts location selection because a
firm’s bottom line will be effected by negatively or positively
based on how much the shipping costs are spread.
Blanket Rates (Zone) is a type of rate that does not increase
with distance, it remains the same from one origin to all points
in the blanket area. This principle impacts location selection
because proper utilization of the rates can create competitive
advantages much like the one described in the text about the
wine industry.
Commercial Zones are specific blanket areas, the transportation
definition of a particular city or town. This concept occurs near
the end of the location decision because if the site is beyond the
limits of a commercial zone the rates that apply to the city don’t
apply to the site which effects rates.

DQ #1: Explain the relationship between logistics and supply
chain management?
According to the Council of Supply Chain Management
Professionals, supply chain management is "the planning and
management of all activities involved in sourcing and
procurement, conversion, and all logistics management
activities (2017)"
This same organization defines logistics management as "that
part of supply chain management that plans, implements, and
controls the efficient, effective forward and reverses flow and
storage of goods, services and related information between the
point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet
customers' requirements (2017)" In sum, its the movement of
goods and services from one place to another, and all supporting
activities that supports said movement, all in an effort to meet
requirements.
Logistics has a supporting relationship with supply chain
management. Coyle et al stated, “supply chain management
requires a more dynamic, collaborative, and coordinated flow of
materials and goods through the logistics systems of all the
organizations in the network (2017, pg 55)". This statement first
implies that logistics is a subset of supply chain management
and secondly that for supply chain management to be effective,
we need to take an interdisciplinary approach to management of
the various logistics systems that make up the supply chain. One

13. example is the inbound and outbound logistics that defines the
business approach to logistics. Effective supply chain
management would successfully integrate inbound and outbound
logistics with its supporting agency so that there is one coherent
supply chain that reduces redundancies from the start of the
pipeline (representing the initial supplier) and the end of the
pipeline (representing the customer).
DQ # 2: Define the principles of tapering rates, blanket rates,
and commercial zones and the implication of each on location
selection.
These terms are all related to transportation cost structures and
can influence where a firm may choose to locate a site.
Tapering rates means that the transportation costs per mile
declines as the number of miles increases. While you are still
likely to pay more to ship over a longer distance, the amount
you pay per mile decreases, as fixed costs are spread over a
greater number of miles, therefore the price you pay per mile
decreases.
Blanket rates means that the customer pays the same rate as
long as they ship within a blanketed area. Most mail carriers
employ geographic regions where there is a flat rate for
shipping within that specific region. If they choose to ship
outside of the blanketed area, different rates will apply.
Commercial zone is a specific blanketed area that usually
corresponds to a city and its surrounding areas.
The implication of selecting a location where tapering rates
apply is that the greater the distance, the more the firm is
saving per mile. If all transportation is short, zonal hauls over a
small distance, the firm is paying more, and a blanket rate may
be of greater benefit. Tapering rate also implies that at some
point, the price per mile will level off and reach a point of
diminishing returns. This means that while longer distance
means you are paying less per mile, it will get to a point where
the tapering stops and you pay the same regardless of how much
further you are shipping. Knowing where this point is can be
helpful so that you are maximizing the savings for a tapering

14. rate.
An implication of selecting a location in a commercial zone, is
that a site outside thee commercial zone may reduce carrier
availability. Commercial zones may define the scope of
operations for carriers conducting short hauls. Also, a site that
is outside of the commercial zone means that the rates do not
apply, even if you are shipping into the commercial zone.
Depending upon the rate itself, it may be cheaper for a firm to
locate outside of the commercial zone and ship with a tapered
rate, or it may be cheaper to locate in the commercial zone and
pay the flat rate.
