ABC Classification

October 28, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 7"), Business and Management

Describe what is meant by ABC analysis. What is the purpose of this inventory technique provide an example.

Here is one resource

Understanding ABC Classification
Class A items are the one that gets managements utmost focus and attention. The A, B and C classification of items has generally been based on a single criterion (Colley et al. 1977), i.e. money value per unit multiplied by usage rate (Silver and Paterson 1985). There are other criteria, however, that represent important considerations for management depending on the nature of the organization such as: Consumption rate, Demand, Lead-time, and Criticality of items (Bhattacharya et al. 2001).

The conventional ABC classification system is intended for grouping items of a manufacturing firm according to annual sales volume. The conventional classification technique is an attempt to identify the small number of items that will account for most of the sales volume, and that are the most important, in order to control for effective inventory management (Arsham 2005).

ABC analysis categorizes an organizations inventory items into groups depending on their relative values. The conventional way to classify the items is to forecast the total annual outlay for each stock item. The total annual monetary value of the items must be estimated by applying an average cost per item to the forecast production requirements for material, parts, and components. The items are then ranked depending upon their annual costs and classified into three groups.

Part 1 – Roadside Picnic

Respond to one of the two prompts or write a response to something you want to say about Roadside Picnic. Make sure it’s not just plot summary and please respond in 250 + words.

So my question is – What different ideologies, morals, or values in society influence how people interact with the Zone? Put another way, what are the different characters’ motivations for entering the Zone and dealing with the dangerous swag? How do they relate to one another? What aspects of culture or human nature are the authors trying to get readers to consider?

Part 2 – Pop Culture

Find some aspect of science fiction pop culture to explore. You could look into fandom, gaming, fashion, art, music, language, etc. The only thing I ask is you don’t focus on film; that’s another assignment. After you’ve done some research, respond to the following:

1. What aspect of science fiction and popular culture did you research?

2. Who is the audience? A small group of people or many? Older or younger people? What nationalities or cultures? Is it a unique community of fans?

3. How do artists or fans you’ve researched express their interest in science fiction? For example, is it humorous, serious, critical?

4. How does this sci-fi pop culture interact with other forms of art, literature, fandom? For example, the image above reinterprets Spock’s famous “Live Long and Prosper” gesture as an urban gang sign.

5. What else did you learn about science fiction and popular culture?

200 + words

Part 2 – On film – Response must be 250+ words please.

1. Choose a science fiction movie. Watch or rewatch that movie. You can probably use any movie you’ve seen recently and remember well.

2. Without giving away the end, briefly provide an overview of the film. Give a very quick plot summary. When was it made? Who directed? What major stars? Was it a hit/flop?

3. Is the film based on a book or short story? If so, who wrote the original and when?

4. What genre or subgenre of sci-fi does the film belong to? Why? Does it have a common sci-fi central conflict? For example, alien contact, space war, bad artificial intelligence, post apocalyptic?

5. What is the fan base of the film like? Are there many diehard fans, huge popular audiences, or do few recall the film?

Intelligence Test

October 28, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Psychology and Education

Select and complete two online intelligence tests. Please include a link to the tests you have taken.

Here are a few examples of links to online intelligence tests:

Classical IQ Test

Free IQ Test

Highly Accurate Free IQ Test

Please do not share your scores with the class

Integrating examples and ideas from your readings and research this week, please consider the following questions: What was your experience with the tests? What are your impressions of the tests? Were the tests easy to use? How many items were on the test? Did you have any questions about the items? Did the items appear to be testing what they said they were testing? On which theory of intelligence does the test appear to be based? What are the benefits and limitations of online intelligence tests versus traditional intelligence tests?
