Assume you are the executive director of Hannah’s House, a nonprofit agency that provides emergency shelter for families in trauma. When those families leave the shelter, you provide them with a recycled cell phone that they can use if they must contact you in another emergency situation. You have learned about a mobile service provider, SoWel (for “social welfare”) that contributes 1 percent of its income to approximately 50 nonprofit organizations that are working for peace, human rights, and the environment. Its contributions have averaged nearly $3 million a year. SoWel has a mobile phone plan for businesses that will cost less than what Hannah’s House is currently paying to cover phones for its employees and client families. Further, you like the idea of supporting other organizations that are trying to improve society. Please provide ideas for a report that will convince your board of directors to switch your agency’s mobile phone service to SoWel. Any ideas would help.

4. Make or Buy. Frandec Company manufactures, assembles, and rebuilds material hand equipment used in warehouses and distribution centers. One product, called a Liftmaster is assembled from four components: a frame, a motor, two supports, and a metal strap. Frandec is planning a production of 5000 Liftmasters next month. Frandec purchases the motors from an outside supplier, but the frames, supports, and straps may either be manufactured by the company or purchased from an outside supplier. Manufacturing and purchase costs per unit are shown.Component Manufacturing Costs Purchase cost Frame $38.00 $51.00 Support 11.50 15.00 Strap 6.50 7.50Three departments are involved in the production of these components. The time (in min per unit) required to process each component in each department is given, along with available capacity (in hours) for the three departments.Component Cutting Dept Milling Dept Shaping Dept Frame 3.5 2.2 3.1 Support 1.3 1.7 2.6 Strap 0.8 – 1.7 Capacity 350 420 680a. Formulate and solve a linear programming model for this make-or-buy application. How many of each component should be manufactured and how many should be purchased? b. What is the total cost of the manufacturing and purchasing plan? c. How many hours of production time are used in each department? d. How much should Frandec be willing to pay for an additional hour of time in the shaping department

Need help with my writing homework on International Business To Business Marketing. Write a 3250 word paper answering; attainment of its strategic objectives.” Although these descriptions are useful, it is important to realize that the practice of purchasing and supply management is changing rapidly (Chopra, 2003).

Supply chain management appears in current dialogue as relatively new terminology, but definitions of what it encompasses are, at best, vague. Barkema (1997) suggested that the development of an idea of the supply chain owes much to the emergence from the 1950s onwards of systems theory and the associated notion of holism. This may be summarised by the observation that the behavior of a complex system cannot be understood completely by the segregated analysis of its constituent parts. However, Beverland (2002) suggested the use of this idea in regard to supply chains is neither consistent nor straightforward. New also argued that the supply chain metaphor is used in many ways, but three meanings dominate the discussion: “supply chain” from the perspective of an individual firm. “supply chain” related to a particular product or item (such as the supply chain for beef, or cocaine, or oil). and “supply chain” used as a handy synonym for purchasing, distribution, and materials management (Larson, 1998). Supply chain management can mean any one of these things, but one aspect is certain: Purchasing and/or outsourcing activity is being undertaken (Barkema, 1997). Beverland (2002) suggested that supply chain management is an integrative philosophy used to manage the total flow through a distribution channel from the supplier to the ultimate user. Another definition is the management of a chain or of operations and centers through which supplies move from the source of supply to the final customer or point of use (Chng, 2000). In essence, the supply chain starts with the extraction of raw material (or origination of raw concepts for services), and each link in the chain processes the material or the concept in some way or supports this processing. The supply chain thus extends from the raw material extraction or raw concept origination through many processes to the ultimate sale of the final product, whether goods or services, to the consumer.

Scenario: Trapezoidal Stone Arch

Instructions:

  • View the video found on page 1 of this Journal activity.
  • Using the information provided in the video, answer the questions below.
  • Show your work for all calculations.

The Students’ Conjectures: During an archeological dig, the students found a voussoir from a semicircular stone arch. A voussoir is a trapezoidal (wedge-shaped) stone used to build an arch or vault.

1. What are the students trying to find out? (1 point)

2. Complete the table to summarize each student’s conjecture: (2 points: 1 point for each row)

StudentConjectureTrey

Serena

Analyzing the Data:

3. Draw a picture that shows the trapezoidal stone and the information that you know: (1 point)

4. Is this is an isosceles trapezoid? How do you know? (1 point)

Understand the problem: Measuring an existing arch.

Consider Serena’s picture of an arch that is still standing. It has 9 voussoirs (or trapezoidal stones). What are the angles for each trapezoid?

5. Draw the interior triangles that go to the base center of the arch: (1 point)

6. Calculate the small angle for each interior triangle: (2 points)

7. Calculate the base angles for each interior triangle: (2 points)

8. Find the angles of the trapezoid: (2 points: 1 point for each pair of angles)

Solving the problem: How many stones were in the original arch?

Work the same scenario backwards, starting with the stone.

9. Find the interior angles of the trapezoid that the students found: (2 points: 1 point for each angle base pair)

10. Draw the isosceles triangle that would extend to the center of the arch. Find the angles of that triangle. (2 points)

11. Given that the entire arch forms a semicircle, how many stones are in the arch? (2 points)

Evaluate the Conjecture:

12. Who was correct? Is there more than one way to build an arch out of trapezoidal stones? If so, why? (2 points)
