  1. Suppose the assembly line at a Toyota plant moves at the rate of one vehicle per minute.

Once the assembly process begins, it takes 2.5 hours for a vehicle to reach final assembly,

where seats are installed. While in final assembly, vehicles with defective seats are driven

to the “code-1” parking area, which is used exclusively for seat defects. Vehicles in code-1

wait on average one week for replacement seats to arrive and be installed. At any given

time an average of 8 vehicles are waiting in code-1. Assume the plant operates non-stop,

24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  1. What is the average number of vehicles in the assembly line (excluding final assembly) at any given time?
  2. On average, how many vehicles per day are sent to code-1 parking?
  1. A manicure spa is structured as a two-stage process. Upon arrival, customers wait in a

common area an average of 6 minutes before proceeding to the _rst available manicurist.

There is a total of six manicurists. The average time for a manicure is 16 minutes regardless

of the manicurist providing it. Customers then proceed to pay, but they typically must

wait in line an average of 2 minutes before they are able to do so since there is only one

cashier who takes on average 4 minutes to process each payment.

(a) What is the cycle time of the two-stage process?

(b) What is the capacity of the two-stage process?

  1. One of your classmates is inviting you into a partnership to sell holiday gift baskets. He

has found a local source of unique baskets made in Thailand. The baskets are hand-made

and must be ordered far in advance of the holiday season at a cost of $8 each. The plan

is to fill each basket with an assortment of readily available items, which the two of you

will buy on demand upon securing each order. The average cost of a basket’s contents is

$73. The unit selling price of a gift basket will be $100. The basket supplier has agreed

to buy-back any leftover empty baskets for $2 each at the end of the season.

Demand for gift baskets is random with the following discrete distribution:

Total number of

gift baskets demanded. Probability

5 .07

10 .13

15 .10

20 .15

25 .10

30 .15

35 .15

40 .10

45 .05

(a) What is the marginal cost of shortage?

(b) What is the marginal cost of excess?

(c) How many empty baskets do you recommend ordering in advance of the holiday

season?

  1. Crapo Appliance Service (CAS) specializes in repairing vacuum cleaners. CAS receives

weekly deliveries from its vacuum cleaner belt supplier, who replenishes belts up to a level

that Crapo Appliance is free to specify. CAS buys a very popular belt at a unit price of

$17.50. The annual inventory carrying charge is 20%. Weekly demand for belts is normally

distributed with mean 86 and standard deviation 24. CAS’ management wants to limit

the probability of a stock-out on any given week not to exceed 1%.

(a) What replenishment level would you recommend?

(b) What is CAS’ average level of safety stock?

(c)  What is CAS’ annual cost of holding cycle stock?

  1. Justin Time manages a convenience store in which he sells phone cards to consumers. He

purchases the phone cards from a distributor at $2 each, and pays a fixed $37.50 shipping

and handling charge per order. The lead time from his distributor is 2 weeks. Assume an

annual rate of 25% for inventory carrying charges and 50 weeks per year. Weekly demand

is normally distributed with a mean and standard deviation of 300 and 14 phone cards

respectively. Assume full backorders.

(a) What is the optimal order quantity?

(b) Suppose that Justin wants to provide a 90% service level. What is the optimal

reorder point?

The optimal service level would, as a result

(a) decrease

(b) increase

(c) increase or decrease, depending on the magnitude of the cost reduction for a local cunit

(d) not be affected

15. Consider a company with both a retail outlet division (with over 100 retail stores) and

PROMPT:  Much of what we tend to focus on when we study social psychology are topics that often have a negative connotation such as conformity, prejudice, aggression or obedience. A huge component of the study of social psychology; however, focuses on prosocial behavior – behaviors that focus on compassion and helping others. For this activity, you will focus on this more uplifting aspect of social psychology. Topics that fall under the area of prosocial behavior include altruism, helping, bystander intervention, empathy, and compassion, among others.

1.) PICK one day and seek to structure your thoughts and behaviors entirely around helping others. With each interaction or action you take, pause to think and ask yourself “is there a way I might help another here?” Hold a door for someone, offer your seat, share a smile, give a sincere compliment, show empathy to another, attempt to be more patient or understanding, etc. Your efforts should be in social settings that involve interactions with others (rather than something such as donating to a charity for instance). The goal is to be as thoughtfully prosocial in your interactions throughout the day as possible.

  • At the beginning of the day, jot down your general mood, feelings, attitude, etc.
  • Then throughout the day, whenever possible, carry a small notebook with you or make notes in an app on your phone to jot down meaningful encounters or experiences as you attempt to engage in prosocial behaviors.
  • At the end of the day, again reflect and take notes on how you feel, your general mood, feelings and attitudes, etc.
  • Summarize your experience. Describe the prosocial behaviors you engaged in, others’ reactions to these behaviors, and your assessment of any changes in mood, attitude, good fortune, or anything else of note you experienced.
  • Review what you have learned about human behavior in social settings. Connect what you learned or experienced through your day of conscious, prosocial behavior with the terms, concepts, and theories from your research. 
  • Describe any new insights you gained through this experience about your interactions with others on a daily basis, including any behaviors you wish to change or to continue.

Hi, I need help with essay on LOVE. Paper must be at least 250 words. Please, no plagiarized work!

Some of the websites navigated include but not limited to: Smithsonian American Art Museum, National Gallery of Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and Museum of Modern Art among others.

From almost all the museums that I explored, child-friendly and resources was vastly covered. In some family programs for both parents and children was combined and they learn and get entertained together. Parents, caregivers and children are offered engaging gallery tours. Variety of artworks, including paintings, sculptures, snapshots, folk arts are available for both family and children (Schwarz, 1996). Children also find it interesting as they get an access to coloring books, numerous kid activities and games and also some music. Some of the activities are accessed through the gallery tours while others are accessible online while still in the museum.

All the museums have research centers and programs which most favors teachers. The centers provide adequate information, variety of resources and training opportunities to the educators/teachers. Experts in various fields are hired to help in fortifying education both domestically and globally (Schwarz, 1996). Laboratories for creating models and inventive informal education are also available. Moreover, teachers also get an opportunity to have objective overview of various things. they also get questions for various subjects. Teachers also get ideas of how they can link art and curriculum in multiple subjects and topics.

Museum sites also offer numerous resources, including the lesson plans that look at the way art can manipulate various magnitudes of religious experience. This is one of the ways that teachers can use in enhancing children’s art inside the classroom (Schwarz, 1996). I found it very easy in navigating the site, there is a sequential order on the activities is covered, both in writing and on exhibition. One does not require to be
