Group Project – Critical Thinking and Case Study Assignment Group - #4 Angel Hernandez Sophia Flammini Gloria Acevedo Vanessa Benzinger Phillip Cortes Critical Thinking 1. Several fast-food chains, after their success with offering their customers fresh salads, and downplaying the image of selling unhealthy food, began adding fresh fruit plates to their menus. At about the same time and in direct conflict with this healthy strategy several other fast-food chains began offering fat and calorie-laden items to their menus. Compare these two widely different approaches and predict the chances of each one’s success. Name some other products that are popular, despite known health risks.  Today, people are more about their health. Today we are more absorbed in what we eat. The Case demand strategy looks at the food environment and the right choices hopefully to benefit consumers. The transportation for aggregate planning of the role of water in health sources for minerals of the safety of Globel nutrition watch. Master scheduling for building a better menu for customers with protein vitamin C, A, and calcium is good for children and older people. Management adds capacity to repeat customer loyalty. Inventory management should keep stock with high-safety products for fast food chains. Wendy's menu just levels up with the Parmesan Caesar salads yummy. Healthy eating menu with calorie-laden like having low fat, iron-rich cut of meat which is perfect for a toned body. The fruit plates at Denny's and Hash House have strawberries with banana dishes. In my opinion, Restaurants are more healthy than fast food chains. Data shows the ingredients that have the critical quality of health information that other systems lack the processes to produce meaningful information created by competitive advantage. The inventory of high-risk is caffeine, the primary reports show staying away from having too much caffeine. Restaurants have on

their menu dishes with caffeine like desserts. The drinks have double as much caffeine as energy drinks. Salads with natural leaves, seeds, and fruit have caffeine. The ERP software works all the department performances starting with production, inventory, purchasing marketing, and supply chain with healthy risk for consumers. All businesses need to do strategies for uneven demand of healthy or healthy risk for supply of demand. 2. In wintry conditions, highway safety is improved by treating road surfaces with substances that will provide traction and or melt snow and ice. Sand and rock salt are two widely used substances. Recently, a combination of beet juice and rock salt is being used in some parts of the country to treat road surfaces. Suppose you have asked to provide a list of factors to consider for a switch from the rock salt decision in the following categories: cost consideration, environmental considerations, both positive and negative and other considerations.  Mountain Charleston is now in the winter, sometime all year around. The evolution of the rock’s climate and structure melt snow and ice. The highway or streets need to be safe. The use of operations strategy, ROP models involve service level and safety stock considerations of road maps of ice. The dependent demand of security of vehicles to treat roads safety. Both are positive in real operation plan the vehicle routes if it means tire chains are required. The elevation takes you from low to high therefore preparing with material requirements of sand, small rocks, salts, and schedule with lot for lot order when roads lots sixes for components are planned. 3. How were food producers impacted by the U.S. government’s requirement to identify the trans fat content on product labels?  With the Government mandating with inclusion of the trans-fat content in the product labels increases the operational cost of the food producers. They must include the cost of the content analysis and revision of product labels to be compliant. Since as the consumers already know the trans-fat content, which has a negative impact on the body since it increases the possibility of developing illnesses like raising your bad (LDL) cholesterol levels and lower your good (HDL) cholesterol levels. Eating trans-fats also increases your risk of developing heart disease and stroke. It’s also associated with a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Now with the rise of health-conscious consumers may opt to not buy the products resulting in a decrease in some of the sales. Given this, now the food producers might consider modifying their product design or adding a new variant of products to cater to the demand of the consumers with food products that has a low trans-fat content. Trans-fats are easy to use and are very inexpensive for the producers or companies to make. The FDA started to catch on with this unhealthy-ness and in 2015 they have determined that PHOs, the major source of artificial

trans-fat in the food supply, are no longer “Generally Recognized as Safe,” or GRAS. They have pushed this date twice, once in 2018 and again 2020. So, they know they’re not safe but along as they put a label it is ‘not safe’ they’re in the green? 4. Suppose a company intends to offer a new service to some of its internal customers. Briefly discuss how the fact that the customers are internal would change the process of managing the four phases of the service life cycle.  Internal customers would be mainly the stakeholders, shareholders, workers, or someone who ensures that the service or services are handed to the external guests. There are some possibilities that the process will be changed or modified if the company introduces a new service to the internal guests. For instance, the workers as part of the internal guests would need some type of training and other necessary conditions to acclimatize to any process change. For the shareholders, since they enjoy the business association or the company, they can either buy or vend their shares depending on the anticipated result of this new service. In the growth phase, the responsibility of the whole business association would be applicable to ensure that the adding of demand or growth of the new service matches the available coffers or force the workers or outsourced services must examine and make necessary changes in their services to start a new process. While in the maturity phase, where the demand is anticipated to decline, the workers or the business associations will have to make necessary strategies to fight the decline in the demand. They generally must release elevations in their new services or introduce another service. Now in the decline phase, if the new services still have a promising quality and demand given the right strategies, also the business association may have to retain the new service and just make necessary conditions. This implicates that if the new service started to decline and the company decided to stop furnishing it to external consumers, there's a possibility that the workers who give service directly to the consumers may be laid- off or transfer to other services that the company provides. With times quickly changing the raise of failure people maybe not agree with this and opt out and few people with be included. For instance, an employee discount may get abused and the company may drop it due to too much loss and stolen items. 5. What would you do if you were Frank?  Frank’s situation is rather unique as he was on the path to handling his job interview situation correctly, however, he violated the terms of the two-year NDA by divulging the information too early. The fact that the company didn’t hire him plays no part in whether the agreement was violated. Also, just saying he was attempting to meet the spirit of the NDA is not enough. If I were Frank, I would have been upfront with the company that was conducting the interview in a sense that he signed an NDA, and it’s best to go through with the
