This document discusses a case study of a company that moved toy part bagging lines from the US to China to reduce costs. While labor rates in China were significantly lower, hidden costs began to emerge over time, such as quality issues, transportation costs, and inability to respond quickly to changes. The company implemented lean manufacturing techniques in their US operations to improve efficiency and reduce costs. A financial model was developed to quantify total costs, allowing some product lines to be moved back from China. The document advocates for continuous improvement and determining the best location based on long-term viability rather than just short-term profit.

The document provides guidance on pursuing a successful acting career. It emphasizes that 45% of actors who fail lack the proper skills, so actors must learn skills like memorization, working with others, commitment, and showing their unique personality. Actors can have success by being in movies/TV and winning awards, but need talent in addition to skills. To be successful, actors must learn the skills required for acting, those acting demands, and those it teaches. Pursuing roles in theater helps develop these skills through experience and discipline.
Benchmarking using Replacement Asset Value. A benchmark is the end distance point from the start. In the world of maintenance it is the name for the targets that an organisation sets for itself in an improvement program. Benchmarking is often against world-best practice and it is used to provide direction and focus in an organisation’s efforts to improve. When RAV is chosen as the benchmark it means that the annual cost of maintaining the plant will be measured against the value of the plant. RAV is a percentage of the cost to replace the plant. The lower the RAV the more effective the maintenance effort.

Read the following case for questions 11 & 12.Greenery is a ma.docxmakdul
Read the following case for questions 11 & 12.
Greenery is a manufacturer of healthy, organic packaged foods that are sold at several grocery store chains across the southeastern United States. Greenery’s largest customer, Publics, has requested that Greenery begin providing food and food ingredients in stand up pouches, similar to the photo below.
Publics wants to begin selling two varieties of soup, tomato paste, and a new product that they have nicknamed ‘protein sludge’, which is similar in nutritional value to a protein bar, but in a paste form. The soup and tomato paste will be existing Greenery products in new packaging, but the protein paste will need to be developed, based only on a homemade product that a Publics executive encountered while on a health retreat. Having noted the 7% annual growth rate in pouch products over the past several years, Publics has decided to quickly begin selling these products, feeling that they missed an opportunity by not selling them previously.
Publics’ request of 10,000 pouches by July 1st (6 months away) will be challenging since ABC has never made food in pouches. Publics estimates that sales for the first year will be $500,000 total for the pouch products. Greenery can purchase the equipment to package the products for $400,000, including training. The manufacturer has stated that the machinery can be set up and employees trained in 4 months. The machine would have an annual capacity large enough to make four times the amount forecasted for the first year. Alternatively, Greenery can outsource the production and packaging of the products. Capacity is not an issue for outsourcing, as there are several potential suppliers. Assuming sales of $500,000 from Publics in the first year, Greenery’s margin will be $100,000 if they make the products in-house and $50,000 if they outsource. Greenery can also choose not to make these products. Greenery’s COO is concerned about Publics’ perception of the company because Greenery and Publics have faced some inventory problems recently due to poor performance on replenishment orders. Some Greenery products have been out of stock at Publics, while others have gone out of their shelf life due to excess inventory.
Question 11:
As Greenery’s COO, you need to make a recommendation to the CEO about what option Greenery should follow. They can produce in-house, outsource production, or pass on the offer. Provide a detailed justification of your decision using material from throughout SCM 5425. 250 word maximum.
Question 12
Based on your response to the previous question, the CEO has asked you to determine a set of metrics to use to ensure that you have made the correct recommendation. Following the SCOR model, your job is to select a set of key performance indicators (KPI’s) to track the overall state of the new business opportunity so that you can be sure that your decision continues to be the right one.

- Size and Scope: Monsanto is solely focused on agriculture, while DuPont is a larger diversified chemical company that also has agriculture as one of its business units.
- Products: Monsanto is best known for Roundup herbicide and "Roundup Ready" crops designed to be resistant to the herbicide. DuPont focuses more on seed traits and technologies rather than herbicides.
- Business Model: Monsanto relies heavily on licensing its patented seed traits to other seed companies. DuPont does more direct seed sales through its Pioneer hybrid seed business.

The document discusses the transition from Baroque to Classical music. Baroque music influenced Classical music in several ways. Baroque utilized complex polyphony, emphasis on ornamentation, and expression of strong emotions. Composers in the Classical era took these elements and transformed them, focusing on melody, balance and harmony rather than complex counterpoint. They emphasized form and structure in pieces. Overall, Baroque music laid the groundwork for musical expression and complexity that influenced composers in the transition to the Classical style.

Roche is seeking to acquire the remaining 44% of Genentech that it does not already own in order to realize synergies from combining the two companies. Specifically, Roche believes the acquisition will allow it to utilize economies of scale to develop more innovative and competitive products, reduce operating risks through increased synergy, and ensure growth through healthy competition. The acquisition would combine Genentech's biotechnology expertise with Roche's resources and distribution network. Potential synergies include reduced production costs, better innovative products, lower tax and administrative costs through consolidation. However, there is also a risk that the different company cultures could be disrupted and some jobs lost during integration. Overall, the acquisition is aimed at allowing the combined company to utilize the latest technologies

Potential synergies include reduced production costs, better innovative products, lower tax and administrative costs through consolidation. However, there is also a risk that the different company cultures could be disrupted and some jobs lost during integration. Overall, the acquisition is aimed at allowing the combined company to utilize the latest technologies
Dr. Kaoru Ishikawa was a pioneer in quality management in Japan. He is known as the "Father of Quality Circles" and founded the Japanese quality movement. Ishikawa believed in focusing on customer needs throughout the entire product lifecycle. He developed seven quality tools to help companies analyze processes and improve quality. Ishikawa's ideas emphasized continuous improvement and training to help companies achieve their goals and adapt to changes over time. He made significant contributions to the fields of quality management and total quality management.

InfinityQS_7 Habits of Quality Obsessed Manufacturers_Print finalVanessa Stirling
The document discusses how manufacturers can effectively demonstrate their quality to buyers. It argues that manufacturers should openly share quantifiable quality metrics and real-time data with buyers, rather than just compulsory statistics, to differentiate themselves and build trust. Capturing and monitoring the right production process data can help identify and address quality issues more quickly. The document advocates extending quality monitoring throughout the entire supply chain for improved results.

Write a one page paper (double spaced) describing and discussing the.docxedgar6wallace88877
Write a one page paper (double spaced) describing and discussing the following ethical concepts found in chapter 1; logical, factual and normative. You may use definitions or scenarios in your writing. The goal of this paper is to gain a level of understanding of all three (logical, factual and normative).
Textbook:
1.
Logical, or formal, statements
are definitions or statements derivable from
definitions, including the entirety of mathematical discourse (e.g., “2
+
2
=
4,”
or “A square has four equal sides”). Such statements can be
verified by a for
-
mal procedure
(“recourse to arithmetic”) derived from the same definitions
that control the rest of the terms of the field in question (i.e., the same axioms
define “2,” “4,” and the procedure of “addition”; the four equal sides and right
angles define the “square”). True formal statements are
analytic
:
they are true
logically, necessarily, or by the definitions of the terms
. False statements in
this category are
self–contradictory
. (If you say, “2
+
2
=
5,” or start talking
about “round squares,” you contradict yourself, for you assert that which can-
not possibly be so—you conjoin ideas that are incompatible). A logically true
or logically valid statement can never be false, or disproved by any discovery
of facts; it will never be the case that some particular pairs of 2 do not add up
to 4, or some particular squares turn out to be circular—and if you think you’ve
found such a case, you’re wrong! “2
+
2
=
4” is true, and squares are equi-
lateral rectangles, as philosophers like to say,
in all possible worlds
. For this
reason we say that these statements are “
true a priori
”: we can know them to
be correct prior to any examination of the facts of the world, without having to
count up lots of pairs of pairs, just to make sure that 2
+
2 really equals 4.
2.
Factual, or empirical, statements
are assertions about the world out there, the
physical environment of our existence, including the entirety of scientific dis-
course, from theoretical physics to sociology. Such statements are
verifiable by
controlled observation
(“recourse to measurement,” “recourse to weighing”)
of that world, by experiment or just by careful looking, listening, touching,
smelling, or tasting. This is the world of our senses, the world of space, objects,
time and causation. These empirical statements are called
synthetic,
for they
“put together” in a new combination two ideas that do not initially include or
entail each other. As a result they cannot be known a priori, but can be deter
-
mined only
a posteriori, that is, after investigation of the world
. When they
are true, they are
true only contingently, or dependently, as oppo.

Write a one page dialogue in which two characters are arguing but are speaking every thought, every iteration of subtext. Then go back and cut the dialogue so that no line is longer than five words without losing any of the meaning.
1. I'd like for you to submit both versions of your dialog.
The first version (with all the subtext written out) and the second version (with only 5 words per line.)
2. Be sure to write it in dialog format.
That means it should look like the plays in our text--
James: Starting with the character's name?
Carrie: And with little or no narration outside of the dialog?
Prof.: Yes to both questions!
3. Notice how little narration / stage direction there is in most of the sample dialogs.
Your dialog should be almost entirely dialog!
Try to resist the urge to get carried away explaining every little detail of what the characters are doing.
And resist the urge to add modifiers like (angrily) (with great emotion) (etc.) before each line of dialog.
You want to put everything into the dialog itself-- the emotion should be obvious from what the characters say!

Straight Supply
Straight Supply is a major supplier of medical components to
large pharmaceutical corporations. Bonnie Straight is a second
generation CEO of the company founded by her father forty
5. years ago. Originally established in Moorhead, Minnesota,
Bonnie moved the company operations to Denver ten years ago
so she could see the mountains from her office window.
The Denver location proved profitable for Straight Supply as
the company could take advantage of a larger pool of labor and
find and train skilled employees to assemble quality products
efficiently. The location also made it easier for shipping around
the country as many trucking companies were looking for loads
out of the Denver area. Additionally, Bonnie could more easily
take advantage of business and medical conferences.
An unexpected benefit of being headquartered in Denver was
the close proximity to Colorado Springs and the many Christian
organizations based in the area like Focus on the Family.
Bonnie became an active contributor to several of these
organizations and was invited to serve on the board of some of
them. Her work in the medical supply area also provided
opportunities to help worthwhile causes through the donation of
medical supplies and materials to these organizations. At least
ten percent of company profits were donated to Christian
organizations every year.
One of Straight Supply’s most successful products is an insulin-
monitoring pump, which monitors and measures insulin
concentrations and automatically injects insulin into diabetic
patients. Due to the technical nature of this pump and its
critical function, exacting standards are needed in its design and
manufacture. There are several critical components requiring
highly skilled labor and the finest quality materials.
Recently, a competitor, began promoting a similar insulin
monitoring and pump type product. One of the large
pharmaceutical companies, which has been a major customer of
Straight, indicated that they were giving serious consideration
to the competitors product. This customer wanted to give
6. Straight Supply every opportunity to continue business with
them since they have a good relationship, which has existed
over a number of years, however, business is business.
Bonnie learned that the competing product was close in quality,
but definitely lower in price. While this other insulin pump did
not have as long a history for product reliability, the competing
company had introduced several successful medical products
over the last few years. There was every indication that the
competitor’s insulin pump could reach the quality standards
required by these major companies at a favorable price.
Straight anticipated that if they wanted to remain a product
leader in the insulin monitoring pump product area and maintain
their current customer base, they were going to have to make
their product more competitive. Given that competitors were
able to offer a similar quality product at a lower price meant
that Straight would have to consider lower its selling price.
However, at the same time, they wanted to maintain as much of
the profit margin as possible as this was a critical product to the
overall success of the company.
Bonnie realized that they were going to have to reduce
production costs. Given that the company had produced this
product for some time, they had pretty much taken advantage of
the learning curve phenomena. All production efficiencies and
the resulting cost savings had pretty much been incorporated
into the current cost of the product and it would be difficult to
introduce additional efficiencies of cost savings into the
production process. Material costs were somewhat out of their
control as they had to rely on other suppliers to provide
materials and additionally, material costs was not that great of a
component of the total costs of the product.
When it came to overhead costs, the company used activity
based costing to attempt to get as accurate a measure as possible
7. of appropriate indirect costs to allocate to this particular
product line. While there is never a guarantee of complete
accuracy with the allocation process, top management believed
that their costing procedure was reasonable. This process of
determining total costs was further confirmed by an independent
consulting firm which recommended and implemented their
current cost allocation system.
Outsourcing was quickly becoming the only option for
production of this product. The production process was fairly
labor intensive, involving a skilled workforce to insure that the
critical intricacies and components of the product were properly
assembled. Straight had depended on some of their most
talented work force to assemble this important product.
Naturally, the labor cost on a per part basis was relatively high
due to many factors. The product was made in the Denver
plant, which also had a high cost of living, and the demand for
qualified employees was critical which resulted in a higher
wage rate. Also, well-trained technically skilled individuals
were needed in many disciplines, which also demanded a higher
wage rate. The employees working for Straight were some of
the more dependable with a greater number of years working at
the company which added to the labor costs. The potential for
considerable cost savings in labor was available if the product
could be assembled overseas.
Straight identified a medical supply company in India that
apparently employed a highly skilled work force with
appropriate training in the assembly of similar products. The
labor rate was considerably lower, enough so, that the product
could be shipped to India and back by air for just the assembly
process and money could be saved.
Before making any critical decisions of this nature, Bonnie
thought it best to conduct a financial analysis of alternative
proposals for a five-year time period. The choice for Straight
8. Supply in this situation was to either continue production in
Denver or have the product assembled in India. The production
and finance departments came up with some critical cost factors
to aid in the decision process.
At the Denver plant, 25 employees worked on this specific
product. Their average wage rate including benefits is $30 per
hour. Employees at the Denver plant are able to produce 75 of
the insulin pumps per hour on an eight-hour shift for 250 days
in the year. Indirect costs related to the production of the
insulin pump were allocated to the product at 180 percent of the
direct labor costs. Wage rates will increase at 6 percent per
year. The cost to ship the product to their pharmaceutical
customer in Chicago was $0.75 per item and that shipping cost
would increase 4 percent per year.
If the insulin pump were no longer assembled in Denver, in
addition to a reduction in the labor force, there would be an
immediate one-time reduction in capacity related costs of
$120,000.
For this current year, the anticipated annual demand was equal
to the current production capacity. If Straight Supply maintains
its market share with existing customers, there should be a 10%
increase in demand for this product for each of the next five
years. The annual increase in demand could actually have been
20%; however, top management thought it better to estimate
conservatively given the potential increase in competition.
Additional employees would need to be hired at the Denver
plant to keep up with demand.
Each insulin pump sold for $100 this year with the price
forecasted to increase at five percent per year over the next five
years. Increases in working capital directly associated with the
product have been equal to 12 percent of the total sales revenue
figure.
9. In India the wage rate was only $10.50 per hour, and each
employee could assemble an average of two insulin pumps per
hour. Given this was a new production process at the India
location, learning curve efficiencies could apply to the insulin
pump and it was expected that production levels would increase
15% per year over the next three years before leveling out in the
fourth and fifth years. Also, the hourly rate would increase at
10% per year for each of the next five years. The management
at the India plant promised to hire enough skilled workers to
meet the production demand every year.
Round trip shipping cost to and from India would be at $5.00
per item with that rate increasing at 4% per year. The
additional shipping requirement will increase the production
time by one week. To maintain its just-in-time inventory
philosophy Straight Supply will need to begin the production of
the insulin pump one week earlier so the final product will be
available to the customer at the agreed upon delivery date.
Starting the production process one week sooner will create an
initial cost increase of $260,000 for the earlier ordering of
required materials.
In completing capital budgeting projects, Straight Supply has
used a weighted average cost of capital process to determine a
correct discount rate and then add a premium depending on
perceived additional risk factors. The basic discount rate for
this year is 14.8%. If a new product is being considered a risk
premium of 2.5% is added. If there is a change in a domestic
location a risk premium of 1.5% is added. A project involving
an international element results in a risk premium of from 3.0%
to 6.0% depending upon a number of factors including political
stability, economic security, language and cultural differences,
and governmental factors.
10. Required:
1. Evaluate the two proposed alternatives regarding the insulin
pump.

be selected and support your decision.
3. Identify some non quantitative factors which might be critical
in this decision making situation.
4. Based on both your quantitative analysis and non quantitative
issues identify which alternative should be selected and support
your decision.
5. How does the consideration of an international opportunity
complicate this decision making process?
6. Explain and give an illustration if possible on how the capital
budgeting process will be incorporated into your business plan?
