Nutrient Intakes For djm0922 on 10/25/2007
A nutrient recommendation is a target or goal for intake of a nutrient. Your requirement for a particular nutrient is unique to you, but it is likely to be lower than the recommended number. If your intake is at or above this number, then it is probably adequate. If your intake is below this number, that does not necessarily mean an inadequate intake. If today’s intake is typically what you eat, and your intake for a nutrient is at or above the recommendation, it is likely that your intake of that nutrient is adequate. To better assess your usual nutrient intake, you should report foods eaten for two or more days and review your nutrient intake over time.

Use POM-QM for Windows to solve the following problems. The problems are taken from the textbook: Operations Management: Quality and Competitiveness in a Global Environment (5th edition) by Roberta S. Russell and Bernard W. Taylor III.

Problem #11-1 (Page 516)
The Harley Davis motorcycle dealer in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area wants to be able to forecast accurately the demand for the Roadhog Super motorcycle during the next month. From sales records, the dealer has accumulated the data in the table below for the past year:

Month Motorcycle Sales
January 9
Febryary 7
March 10
April 8
May 7
June 12
July 10
August 11
September 12
October 10
November 14
December 16

a. Compute a three-month moving average forecast of demand for April through January (of the next year).

b. Compute a five-month moving average forecast for June through January.

c. Compare the two forecasts computed in parts (a) and (b) using mead absolute deviation (MAD). Which one should the dealer use for January of the next year?

Problem #11-24 (Page 519)
Develop an exponential smoothing forecast with a = 0.20 for the demand in Problem #1. Compare this forecast with the three-month moving average computed in Problem #1 (a) using mead absolute deviation (MAD) and indicate which forecast seems to be most accurate.

Note: The “a = 0.20 – the “a” here is a symbol that I can’t find on the computer to make it correctly. It looks like the Greek letter “a”.

Please show how to solve the problems step-by-step.

It is projected that a needed item will sell for $10 each. If the item is outsourced, there is virtually no cost other than the $5 per unit that they would pay their supplier.

Process A requires an investment of $120,000 for design and equipment, but results in a $6 per unit cost.

Process B requires only a $100,000 investment but is per unit cost is $5.

Regardless of whether the item is subcontracted or produced internally, there is a 50% chance that they will sell 50,000 units, and a 50% chance that they will sell 100,000 units.

Using the decision trees and EMV, what is their best choice?

A. The company only has to choose among three alternatives
B. The decision should be based on which alternative yields the highest profits
C. Process A is preferable to process B
D. Process A promises the highest profits

There could be more than one correct answer.It is projected that a needed item will sell for $10 each. If the item is outsourced, there is

Answer the following questions about a new employee training program for the position of Media Specialist:

1. Needs assessment: What types of issues might indicate a need for training? From what sources would these issues be identified? If you were a training manager, how would you prioritize training needs from these sources?

a. A supervisor requests training on the specialized technology required by five of his employees.

b. The customer service manager reports a sudden increase in calls about poor handling of repeat complaint calls.

c. The CEO requests team efficiency training to address the declining numbers of employees attending quarterly pep rallies.

2. Delivery: Identify the best method to conduct this training. Is a certification exam required? Will the training be instructor-led, self-paced, or a combination? Explain your answer.

Focusing on delivery considerations, would you use the same methods and requirements for the position directly above this job and the position directly subordinate to the job? Explain your answer.

3. Evaluation: How will you evaluate the effectiveness of the training in terms of organizational objectives and limitations?

If Company A elects to buy a needed part, it would cost them $1.50 each. If they design and produce it themselves, it will result in a per unit cost of $0.75. However, the design investment would be $50,000. Further they realize that for this type of part, there is a 30% chance that after the part is designed and tested, the part will need to be redesigned at an additional cost of $50,000. Regardless of whether they make or buy the part, Company A will need 100,000 of these parts. What is the EMV using the Decision Trees Analysis and what do you think Company A should do?

1. Since the expected values represent cost, Company A should made their decision based on the lowest expected value.

2. The expected monetary value (cost) of making the part is $175,000.

3. The expected monetary value (cost) of buying the part is $135,000.

4.Company A should make the part and not buy it.

The J.C. Adams Co., a mail-order firm that deals in small gifts, charges a flat rate for postage regardless of the weights of the packages. The flat postage charge is the current postage rate per ounce times 16.90. The company management assumes that in the long run the firm will break even on postage costs. The accounting department disputes the fixed postage charge and suggests that it should be changed. Management, however, wishes to be at least 95% certain that a policy change is justified since it may incur postage losses or be unattractive to potential customers. Further, management wishes to be 99% certain that if a policy change is made, the change will not incur losses due to insufficient postage charges to customers. Management decides to take a random sample of the weights of 100 packages mailed this month and base the decision on the sample results. The sample indicates a mean weight of 17.8 ounces and a standard deviation of 3.2 ounces.
a. Determine the action to be taken by J. C. Adams Company, if any, and explain your conclusion.

Discuss separately why race, gender, age, and education are such significant components in politics. Provide examples from the book to justify your discussion.

2. Discuss the following interest groups: economic, ideological, public (not to be confused with public sector interest groups), and foreign policy. Be sure to provide examples of each type in your discussion along with your elaboration as to why interest groups can be both good and bad.

3. How do lobbyists wield their influence in politics? Broadly speaking, who are lobbyists and what do they do?

4. According to the textbook, how have political action committees invested their money?

5. For this very broad question, which is based on the entirety of chapter 7, you need to explain what parties do for democracy; provide a brief history of American political parties; describe the ways that the political parties are financed; and defend your answer of yes or no to whether the political parties are dying today.

6. A) The textbook says that all governments in all nations must be concerned with public opinion. Why? In your answer, be sure to define public opinion ; describe the tools, techniques, or methods typically used to assess public opinion.

7. How do American get their political opinions and values? Note that political socialization is only part of this answer, as the question is derived from 4 pages of your textbook.

8. The textbook gives you 3 stages each stage with its own components that a candidate goes through when running for president. Discuss each one thoroughly. Note that any answer fewer than 375 words or 2,200 characters will unlikely receive credit.

9. How is it suggested in the textbook that we improve elections ?

10. Discuss how the media influence politics and what the textbook authors mean by mediated politics ? Note that this is a very broad chapter question.

The purpose of this assignment is to paraphrase O’Conner’s passages using no more than 75-100 words. Begin the assignment with the words: O’Conner (2003) argued that . . .

1) Read the following paragraphs, which were written by Patricia O’Conner.
A good writer is one you can read without breaking a sweat. If you want a workout, you don’t lift a book?you lift weights. Yet we’re brainwashed to believe that the more brilliant the writer, the tougher the going.

The truth is that the reader is always right. Chances are, if something you’re reading doesn’t make sense, it’s not your fault?it’s the writer’s. And if something you write doesn’t get your point across, it’s probably not the reader’s fault?it’s yours. Too many readers are intimidated and humbled by what they can’t understand, and in some cases that’s precisely the effect the writer is after. But confusion is not complexity; it’s just confusion. A venerable tradition, dating back to the ancient Greek orators, teaches that if you don’t know what you’re talking about, just ratchet up the level of difficulty and no one will ever know.

Don’t confuse simplicity, though, with simplemindedness. A good writer can express an extremely complicated idea clearly and make the job look effortless. But such simplicity is a difficult thing to achieve because to be clear in your writing you have to be clear in your thinking. This is why the simplest and clearest writing has the greatest power to delight, surprise, inform, and move the reader. You can’t have this kind of shared understanding if writer and reader are in an adversary relationship. (pp. 195-196)
