The document discusses landmark Supreme Court cases that have provided guidance for interpreting equal employment opportunity laws, including Griggs v. Duke Power Company. In this 1971 case, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of African American employees who argued that Duke Power Company's requirements of a high school diploma or passing two tests to transfer between jobs had a disparate impact and were not justified by job performance needs. The decision established that employment practices that disproportionately exclude protected groups are illegal regardless of employer intent, and that tests must reasonably relate to job performance.

Question 1 – Exercise 8.3Why is it not possible in Example 8.1 o.docxIRESH3
Question 1 – Exercise 8.3
Why is it not possible in Example 8.1 on page 256 to have 100% confidence? Explain.
Answer
If you have 100% confidence in the value of the calculated mean, then have the true population mean and the only way to have the true population mean is to use the entire population, which they did not do in Example 8.1.

Question 3 – Exercise 8.22 (Continued)
Answer: Part (a)
...
Engineering design is the process of developing a system, component or process to satisfy the desired
requirements. It is a decision making process, in which the basic mathematics and engineering disciplines are
utilized to convert resources optimally to achieve a predetermined objective. It also includes a variety of
realistic constraints such as reliability, safety, economic factors, ethical and social impacts. This work proposes
a methodology and a procedure for the make-or-buy problem. Companies following this methodology are
guided through a structured sequence comprising identification of factors for the make-or-buy decision, and the
comparison of internal sourcing and external sourcing factors against each other. Multi-attribute decisionmaking
is utilized to present an overall make-or-buy decision recommendation.

ACC 207 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a quantitative analysis with a memo to management.
Classifying a
company’s
costs allows for an in-depth analysis of the impact that changes in output
have
on revenues, costs, and net income or net loss. A
cost-
volume-profit (CVP) analysis will be completed in order to determine the
breakeven
point. Relevant costs will be used to prepare a flexible budget. Additionally, an appropriate costing
system
should be selected and the choice should be substantiated with reasonable rationale. Finally, a memo should be prepared
for
management that summarizes the results of the quantitative analysis and
makes
recommendations for an optimal costing
system
to be ethically used by
key
decision
makers.
The project is divided into
three milestones
, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in
Modules Two, Four,
and
Five.
The quantitative analysis with a memo to management will be submitted in
Module Seven

Prompt
In this assignment, multiple analyses will be conducted in order to obtain a company’s financial information specific to company costs.
MDE manufactures outdoor garden items such as lawn ornaments and bird feeders. MDE uses a standard costing system to set standards for direct materials, labor, and overhead costs. MDE reviews and revises standards as necessary. Recently, budget variances for bird feeders have caused some concern. You, the company’s cost accountant, have been asked to examine the numbers for the product, explain the variances, and suggest ways to improve performance.
Specifically, the following
critical elements
must be addressed:
You will begin by using the
MDE Manufacturing Budget
(Table I) to analyze costs, contribution margin, and breakeven point for the bird feeder division. You will then analyze the actual costs and complete a cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis to determine how many bird feeders must be sold at the current cost and sales price level to earn a $10,000 profit and how much the sales price would have to increase to earn a $10,000 profit at the same cost and sales volume level. Use Tabs 1 and 2 of the

Prompt
In this assignment, multiple analyses will be conducted in order to obtain a company’s financial information specific to company costs.
MDE manufactures outdoor garden items such as lawn ornaments and bird feeders. MDE uses a standard costing system to set standards for direct materials, labor, and overhead costs. MDE reviews and revises standards as necessary. Recently, budget variances for bird feeders have caused some concern. You, the company’s cost accountant, have been asked to examine the numbers for the product, explain the variances, and suggest ways to improve performance.
Specifically, the following
critical elements
must be addressed:
You will begin by using the
MDE Manufacturing Budget
(Table I) to analyze costs, contribution margin, and breakeven point for the bird feeder division. You will then analyze the actual costs and complete a cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis to determine how many bird feeders must be sold at the current cost and sales price level to earn a $10,000 profit and how much the sales price would have to increase to earn a $10,000 profit at the same cost and sales volume level. Use Tabs 1 and 2 of the

Please submit a minimum of five (5) detailed and discussion-provokin.docxDIPESH30
Please submit a minimum of five (5) detailed and discussion-provoking questions based on the recent reading assignments, video clips and the other websites assigned.
Only complete questions will earn credit. Therefore, it is important for you to think carefully about formulating the kinds of questions intended to stimulate conversations. Ask detailed and specific, rather than broad, general questions. Do not ask, for example, ‘When was the first Mission established in California?’ Instead, ask something like ‘What is the ideological agenda behind maintaining figures like Father Junipero Serra as heroic in California textbooks?’
Other examples include:
Does recent news media coverage of the “riots” in Baltimore, Ferguson and other cities promote a message that is pro-police? If not, how does it engender understanding of the root causes of many of the frustrations of local residents?
In the film “Banned in Arizona,” why does Superintendent Tom Horne argue in favor of “individualism” and why does he say that the Mexican American Studies program encourages radical thinking? What, if anything, is radical about the way those courses teach students in Tucson, Arizona?
If the U.S. reinstated a Vietnam War era-like military draft instead of relying upon the current all-volunteer force, would current public support for war change at all? If so, how?
Please consider these guidelines in composing your questions:
1. Make certain to ask at least one question from each source.
2. Ask questions about things that interest you.
3. Write your questions as though you were asking them to the entire class.
4. Be sure to make specific reference to the readings in each question. Many good questions require at least two sentences.
5. Try and use the questions to critique the author's opinion.
6. These homework questions should attempt to raise larger issues and---when possible---to relate the readings to issues in our current world.
"This week, I want us to think about the concept of
bias
, and its application in the places we consume information. This is tricky territory because even the very presentation of this unit is fraught with bias—my personal bias, or frame of reference. I’m going to ask you to read a collection of articles that I think are important, but they all clearly have a perspective and an agenda that comes from a particular worldview. So let’s get that out in the open. Maybe nothing in your liberal arts education is free from bias, but that does not mean we shy away from considering the information, ideas, arguments and critiques.
What is bias? For the purposes of our consideration, bias is really just about a set of values that can color or distort fair judgment. We can sometimes recognize obvious bias in others, especially when people use overtly discriminatory or offensive language, or have a clear political or ideological perspective that makes everything they present go through that lens. But more than anything else, I want us to think a.

Formulate a decision of which party should be successful
The use of headings for each relationship discussed is suggested.
Application of legal principles to the facts is the most important and often the hardest step. I am more interested in how you arrived at your answer, than the actual conclusions that you draw. Having said that, the “kitchen sink approach” is not suggested – i.e. spilling all of your knowledge that is vaguely related to the issue raised into your answer.
Please do not simply say, “Andrew is liable for negligence.” You must go through the analysis for why or why not a particular tort claim will be successful.
Use the language of the question.
Be as comprehensive and thorough as possible when responding to each issue – canvas all possible answers. If you have considered the application of a particular contractual concept, but after analysis, you have decided that it is not applicable, please go through your analysis.
If any possible remedies are available to either party, please identify with supporting reasons.

Tort Law Problem
Andrew Black is the owner of Confederation Mall (“Mall”) located in New Minas, Nova Scotia. Mr. Black leases out many retail spaces in the Mall to a wide range of businesses. He prides himself as a local success story. The people of New Minas truly admire his entrepreneurial success.
George Orange, owner of Guppy World, a pet fish store, has been a long-time tenant of Confederation Mall. Colin and Darren work for Mr. Orange. Colin was repairing a ceiling fan when he asked Darren to toss him a screwdriver, as Colin was up on a step-ladder at the time. Darren, standing 15 feet away, underhand tosses the screwdriver to Colin. Darren overshoots the toss and the screwdriver shatters a glass fish tank containing a piranha fish. At the same time a customer, Sally, was walking towards the check-out to purchase fish food, when she slipped on the water from the broken tank, fell to the floor and fractured her wrist. She is also bitten on the ankle by the piranha. When Mr. Orange tried to assist Sally, he smelled a strong smell of alcoholic beverage coming from her mouth. Colin noted that Sally appeared to be staggering slightly before falling.
Sally was transported to the hospital by paramedics. The doctor determines that Sally’s foot needs to be amputated due to the piranha bite and she needs to wear a cast on her wrist for 6-8 weeks due to the fracture.

THIS ISTHE CASE STUDY ATTACHED IS THE DIRECTIONS ON OW TO COMPLETE THE TASK.
Case Study Analysis
When it comes to planning events how many of us take the proper steps and put in the time and how many of us wait till the last minute to plan our event? What's the outcome of an event that has had the proper planning? Usually, a properly planned event is a huge success, and people leave-taking away information that will help them either improve, grow as a person or be successful at their job. People who try to plan events without taking the proper steps find themselves running into many problems along the way. Before they know it, they are out of time to fix any issues or problems that arise. Running out of time can lead to frustration, panic, and eventually the thought of “what am I going to do". Even though the steps to planning an event can be time-consuming, proper planning can ease frustration and anxiety, and lead to a successful event. Proper planning can eliminate the “What am I going to do” question.
Background
In the case study, Carl Robins did not plan for his event very well. He hired 15 new trainees and wanted to schedule a new hire orientation on June 15
th
. His goal was to have the new hires working by July. Carl had only been at his job for six months, and this was his first recruitment effort, so it is crucial for this event to work in Carl’s favor. Carl was contacted by Monica Carrolls, the soon to be Supervisor of the new hires, on May 15
th
. Monica was following up with Carl on how the planning for his orientation was going. She asked him about physicals, drug tests, the training schedule, orientation, manuals, and policy booklets. Carl told Monica that everything would be fine and ready to go in time for orientation. After Memorial Day, Carl finally decided to start planning for his event. Unfortunately; because Carl did not do any planning after hiring the fifteen new trainees and waited till the last minute to plan his event, he ran into multiple problems. When Carl finally decided to start planning for his event, he found that the training room where he was going to hold his orientation was booked for the whole month of June by a fellow associate named Joe. Joe was from technology services and needed the room for computer terminals. When he went to finalize the paperwork for his event, he found that some of the new hire trainees did not have completed transcripts or applications on file; nor had they gone to the clinic for their physicals and mandatory drug screenings. He then checked the orientation manuals and found that there were only three and that those three had missing pages. By now, Carl is very concerned, his anxiety is at a level high, and he is so frustrated that he sits with his head on his desk with the thought of “What am I going to do”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Landmark Court CasesLaws passed by Congress are usually broad in.docx
1. Landmark Court Cases
Laws passed by Congress are usually broad in nature and are
refined when applied to specific situations. Furthermore, the
general nature of the equal employment laws both allowed and
caused enforcement agencies such as the EEOC to develop
guidelines and enforce the acts as they interpreted them.
Unfortunately, employers were often confused about the
guidelines and enforcement of equal employment laws by the
EEOC and OFCCP. The confusion and anger that resulted have
led to many lawsuits concerning the interpretation of equal
opportunity laws and guidelines. Again unfortunately, many
court decisions have been not only confusing but, in some
instances, apparently conflicting.
Nevertheless, several Supreme Court decisions have provided
guidance for interpreting equal employment opportunity laws.
Some of the more important decisions are described in the
following sections.
Griggs v. Duke Power Company 4
The Griggs case concerned the promotion and transfer policies
of the Duke Power company at its Dan River Steam Station.
Duke permitted incumbent employees who lacked a high school
education to transfer from an “outside” job to an “inside” job by
passing two tests: the Wonderlic Personnel Test, which purports
to measure general verbal facility, and the Bennett Mechanical
Aptitude Test. The passing scores approximated the national
median for high school graduates.
Web site: National Employment Lawyers
Associationwww.nela.org
In a class action suit, African American employees argued that
these practices violated Title VII, since neither having a high
school education nor passing the tests was necessary for
successful performance on the jobs in question. The suit also
argued that the practices were illegal because a much higher
percentage of African Americans did not have high school
2. educations. The company argued that the requirements were
based on the company's judgment that they would generally
improve the overall quality of the workforce and that the
company had no discriminatory intent in instituting the
requirements. The company argued that its lack of
discriminatory intent was demonstrated by its efforts to help
undereducated employees through financing two-thirds of the
cost of tuition for high school education.
In 1971, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the African
American employees. The decision established several
significant points concerning equal employment opportunity:
(1) The consequences of employment practices, not simply the
intent or motivation of the employer, are the thrust of Title VII
in that practices that discriminate against one group more than
another or continue past patterns of discrimination are illegal
regardless of the nondiscriminatory intent of the employer; (2)
the disparate impact doctrine provides that when the plaintiff
shows that an employment practice disproportionately excludes
groups protected by Title VII, the burden of proof shifts to the
defendant to prove that the standard reasonably relates to job
performance; and (3) the EEOC's guidelines that permitted the
use of only job-related tests are appropriate.

What is Quality?
David Garvin, in his book Managing Quality, summarized five
principal approaches to defining quality:
Transcendental view: “I can’t define it, but I know when I see
it”;
Product-based view: Quality is viewed as quantifiable and
measurable characteristics or attributes; (Design quality)
User-based view: Quality is an individual matter, and products
that best satisfy their preferences are those with the highest
quality;
3
What is Quality?
Five principal approaches to defining quality (Cont.)
Manufacturing-based view: “conformance to requirements”
(Conformance quality)
Value-based view: Quality is defined in terms of costs and
prices as well as a number of other attributes.
9. Two Ways Quality Improves Profitability
Improved Quality
Increased Profits
Increased productivity
Lower rework and scrap costs
Lower warranty costs
Reduced Costs via
Improved response
Flexible pricing
Improved reputation
Sales Gains via
Quality Program
Fundamental to any quality program is
the determination of quality specifications, and
the costs of achieving (or not achieving) those specifications.
10. 6
Quality Specification
Design Quality measures how well a product meets customer
expectation.
Specifications of Design Quality
Functions/features intended to deliver
Reliability/durability
Serviceability
Aesthetics
Conformance Quality measures how well design specifications
are met in production.
Cost of Quality
Cost of Quality refers to all of the costs attributable to the
production of quality that is not 100% perfect.
It is estimated that the cost of quality is between 15% and 20%
of every sales dollar. (Philip Crosby: <2.5%)
Three basic assumptions:
Failures are caused;
Prevention is cheaper;
Performance can be measured.
11. Cost of poor quality

12. More Quality Definitions
Fitness for use: Design quality + Conformance quality
Quality Management is the totality of functions involved in the
determination and achievement of quality.
Quality Control focuses on the process of producing the product
or service with the intent of eliminating problems that might
result in defects.
Quality Assurance is a complete system to assure the quality of
a product.
10
International Quality Standards
Series of standards agreed upon by the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO)
Adopted in 1987
More than 160 countries
A prerequisite for global competition?
ISO 9000 an international reference for quality, ISO 14000 is
primarily concerned with environmental management
11
13. International Quality Standards
ISO 9000 series
Common quality standards for products sold in Europe (even if
made in U.S.)
2008 update places greater emphasis on leadership and customer
requirements and satisfaction
ISO 14000 series (Europe/EC)
Core elements include Environmental management; Auditing;
Performance evaluation; Labeling; Life cycle assessment
Total Quality Management is the management of an entire
organization so that it excels in all aspects of goods and
services that are important to the customer.
Deming’s 14 Points
Quality expert Edwards Deming used 14 points to indicate how
he implemented TQM:
Create consistency of purpose
Lead to promote change
Build quality into the product; stop depending on inspections
Build long-term relationships based on performance instead of
awarding business on price
Continuously improve product, quality, and service
14. 14
Deming’s 14 Points – Cont.
Start training
Emphasize leadership
Drive out fear
Break down barriers between departments
Stop haranguing workers
Support, help, and improve
Remove barriers to pride in work
Institute education and self-improvement
Put everyone to work on the transformation
Seven Concepts of TQM
The authors of the textbook developed Deming’s 14 points into
seven concepts for an effective TQM program:
Continuous improvement
Six Sigma
Employee empowerment
Benchmarking
Just-in-time (JIT)
15. Taguchi concepts
Knowledge of TQM tools
1. Continuous Improvement
Represents continual improvement of all processes .
Walter Shewhart developed a circular model know as Plan-Do-
Check-Act as his version of continuous improvement.
PDCA Model
2. Six Sigma
Originally developed by Motorola, adopted and enhanced by
Honeywell and GE.
Six-sigma is a philosophy and methods used to eliminate defects
by reducing the variation in the processes.
Statistically, sigma is a measure of variation. In business
processes, it is a measure of how many defects or failures are
likely to occur per million opportunities.
4 sigma = 6,000 defects per million
6 sigma = 3.4 defects per million
16. Metric in 6-sigma
The calculation of Defects per million opportunities (DPMO)
requires three pieces of information:
Unit: the item produced or being serviced;
Defect: Any item or event that does not meet the customer’s
specification limits;
Opportunities: an chance for a defect to occur
Examples: DPMO
Example 1: The customers of a mortgage bank expect to have
their mortgage applications processed within 10 days of filing.
Suppose all defects are counted and it is determined that there
are 150 loans in the 1,000 applications processed last month
that don’t meet this customer requirement. Then what is the
DPMO in this case?
Example 2: Now suppose the production of a product consists of
two operations. Defects can occur at each operation. There
were 100 defective units out of the total 2,000 units produced.
What was the DPMO in this case?
17. Examples: DPMO – Calculations
Example 1:
Example 2:
6-sigma Methodology
Uses many of the same statistical tools as other quality control
programs.
The difference is that the tools are used in a systematic project-
oriented fashion through define, measure, analyze, improve, and
control (DMAIC) cycle.
The focus of DMAIC is understanding and achieving what the
customer wants.
18. DMAIC
Define critical outputs
and identify gaps for improvement
Measure the work and
collect process data
Analyze the data
Improve the process
Control the new process to make sure new performance is
maintained
DMAIC Approach
6-sigma Implementation
Emphasize defects per million opportunities as a standard
metric
Provide extensive training
Focus on corporate sponsor support
Create qualified process improvement experts (Black Belts,
Green Belts, etc.)
Set stretch objectives
19. This cannot be accomplished without a major commitment from
top level management
3. Employee Empowerment
Getting employees involved in product and process
improvements
85% of quality problems are due to process and material
Techniques include:
Build communication networks that include employees
Develop open, supportive supervisors
Move responsibility to employees
Build a high-morale organization
Create formal team structures
25
4. Benchmarking
Selecting best practices to use as a standard for performance.
Steps include:
Determine what to benchmark
Form a benchmark team
20. Identify benchmarking partners
Collect and analyze benchmarking information
Take action to match or exceed the benchmark
Use internal benchmarking if you’re big enough
Best Practices for Resolving Customer ComplaintsBest

free market researchRespond quickly to complaintsIt adds
customers and loyaltyResolve complaints on first contactIt
reduces costUse computers to manage complaintsDiscover
trends, share them, and align your servicesRecruit the best for
customer service jobsIt should be part of formal training and
career advancement
5. Just-in-Time (JIT)
JIT (Just-in-Time) is an approach of continuous and forced
problem solving via a focus on throughput and reduced
inventory.
Throughput is the time required to move orders through the
production process, from receipt to delivery.
Basically it means making only what is needed at the time when
it is need!
21. 6. Taguchi Concepts
Engineering and experimental design methods to improve
product and process design
Identify key component and process variables affecting product
variation
Taguchi Concepts
Quality robustness: Ability to produce products uniformly in
adverse manufacturing and environmental conditions
Quality loss function
Target-oriented quality: a Philosophy of continuous
improvement to bring the product exactly on target
Quality Loss Function
Shows that costs increase as the product moves away from what
the customer wants
Costs include customer dissatisfaction, warranty
and service, internal
scrap and repair, and costs to society
Traditional conformance specifications are too simplistic
Target-oriented quality

28. Statistical Process Control (SPC)
Statistical Process Control is a number of statistical techniques
designed to evaluate quality from a conformance view.
Situations where SPC can be applied:
How many paint defects are there in the finish of a car?
How long does it take to execute market orders?
How long do customers wait to be served from our drive-
through window?
Variations around us
All processes have inherent statistical variability which can be
evaluated by statistical methods.
Basic forms of Variations:
Assignable variation: caused by factors that can be clearly
identified and possibly managed, such as workers inadequately
trained.
Common variation: also called random variation, variation that
is inherent in the production process. It is usually a result of the
type of equipment used in the process.
29. 43
USL and LSL
It is impossible to have zero variation!
Engineers therefore assign acceptable limits for variation.
The limits are known as the upper and lower specification limits
(USL/LSL).
Also known as upper and lower tolerance limits (UTL/LTS);
The range defined by USL and LSL is called the specification
range.
44
Example: USL and LSL
Consider the production of boxes of cereal. Suppose the target
value of the weight of each cereal box is 12 oz. The design
specifications might be 12 +/- 2 oz.
This tells the production department that the production should
aim for the weight of 12 oz. However, any weight between 10
and 14 oz. is also acceptable.
In this case, USL = 14, LSL = 10.
30. Process capability
Process capability is the long-term performance level of the
process after it has been brought under statistical control, that
is, having only common variation.
There are two popular measures for determine process
capability:
Process Capability Ratio (Cp)
Process Capability Index (Cpk)
Both of them are measured based on samples taken from
production or test runs.
46
Process Capability Ratio (Cp)
The process capability ratio is calculated as:
is the population standard deviation of the quality measure of
interest.
When only samples are available, we use s instead of in
calculation.
A capable process must have a Cp of at least 1.0
Six Sigma quality requires a Cp = 2.0
31. Example: Mean and Sample Std. Deviation
Suppose a sample from the production of a product consists of 5
data points summarized as follows:
What is the mean and standard deviation of the sample?Data
points9108.810.25
48
Example:
Solution
32. Notes: In the calculation above, represents the ith data point in
the sample and n refers to the sample size, that is, the number of
data points in the sample.
Example: Cp
Suppose for an insurance claims process,
Process mean = 210.0 minutes
Process standard deviation s = 0.516 minutes
Design specification range = 210 ± 3 minutes
What is the process capability ratio in this case?
Example:
