A Smart Cookie Case Study

1. Assuming that the order contains a dozen of cookies, the time to take a rush order is the sum of cycle times for each activity: 0+6+2+9+1+0+5+2+1=26 min.

I was the activities director and as activities director, I executed and supervised extracurricular activities, programs, and field trips. I created and designed promotional materials for all activities, wrote and published school newsletters, and managed social media content. Being an adolescent in this position, gave me a better insight on what the students desired and I, in turn, gave the students a greater experience in that area. I will take that drive, determination, and experience, and everything I learned from it and apply it to my schoolwork and my overall college

I would like to thank my friends, Sarah Erwin and Anntasia for helping me review and edit my essay.

It was truly gratifying serving as a positive role model for the students that needed the extra motivational push. Instilling passion within others to pursue a higher education, serving as a prominent role model for my peers, and intertwining my Hispanic and American mindset has been a true blessing.

I am very pleased to be a part of this process. Some of the information I put are what I did since freshman year and they might seem vague somehow. But there is so much more than what is on this paper. Desires, loves, compassion are what I felt during this times and moments. Participating in summer camps, contributing

Last year I helped paint an Abilene themed mural that now hangs in the Recreation Center. I along with about 10 other students painted things that we thought represented Abilene like Dwight Eisenhower, farms, cowboys, horses, cows, crops, the railroad, and trains. My job in the project was mainly to touch up, but I also painted the clouds and the birds. Painting this mural helped me gain respect to the state and the town that I live in, and it helped me personally improve myself as an artist and as a student. It helped me build skills that I will use the rest of my life like, teamwork, problem solving, creative and critical thinking, and goal setting. The mural commemorated the state of Kansas, by hanging it in the Recreation Center everyone

The person I chose for my paper is Bianca. I found her presentation to be interesting, due to the fact that I do not know much about her since she is a new student. She brought three different items: a journal, a heel, and a stuffed animal. Each one has a different meaning to it and is important to her.

The Pillsbury Cookie Challenge is a case study written by Natalie Mauro under the supervision of Professor Allison Johnson. The case study creates an open discussion about what the marketing manager of the refrigerated baked goods category for Canada General Mills should do to revive his products. Ivan Guillen, the marketing manager, was faced with tough challenges. He was initially “…faced with the challenge of developing a strategy that would lead to improved business performance on his category” (Johnson and Mauro, p.1, 2011). To clarify, Guillen’s category is refrigerated baked goods (RBG), which means, this category is his marketing responsibility. The issue here is that “RBG was GMCC’s fourth largest category, and its performance over the past two years had been less than stellar” (Johnson and Mauro, p.1, 2011). It is important to note that GMCC stands for General Mills Canada Corporation. Pillsbury has enjoyed majority market share in the RBG category in Canada, however, recently, the market was experiencing only moderate growth. Guillen was disappointed that their goal of 5%-7% market growth was not being achieved mainly in the refrigerated cookie dough segment. To be exact, their volume growth for two years was flat and they were having difficulty reaching new households. There was a shift among consumer’s purchases, which Guillen was challenged to figure out why.

We had been fighting to keep our state championship title, so not all moments of it were as simple as a walk in the park. The heat was unbearable. Shoes stuck to the scalding tar, left behind for the scrambling students to quickly retrieve. The bright red freshman would wish he had packed sunscreen when he saw the heat waves on the other side of the field. The week was rewarding though, and I will remember how I helped others advance in music as well as social skills. We laughed until our stomachs ached with close friends, we worked harder than ever before, and we did what we loved. There was a freshman that could not pick up on marching like the rest of her classmates. One could see the look of frustration in her eyes as she stepped off late or stumbled around like her feet were made of lead. As the year progressed, I began to work with her. I learned tremendous amounts of leadership skills as I helped her remember how to step off in time, or how to march correctly. It was not only a learning experience for her, but for me as

Being a volunteer at the Miami Book fair was superb. I volunteered from Friday through Sunday and each day I experienced something different but exciting. On Friday, I decided to wear a costume to surprise the children that were there on a field trip. I wore Ms. Piggy costume and my friend Grismary along with a girl name Ashley guided me through the campus. I waved and embraced the kids while stopping for them to take pictures with me. The experience felt like I was having a nostalgia, because I shared a joyful moment with loving children that reminded me of my own childhood. On Saturday, my friends and I went roaming around the campus during our break. We won candies, hats, shirts, and a glow in the dark yo-yo. I felt thrilled and eager to

As an honorary baker and renowned food critic, nothing grinds my gears more than looking out my bakery’s window and seeing a group of kids walk out of a gas station or Walmart with a pack of Chips Ahoy. Don’t they know real cookies don’t come off conveyer belts? My cookies are straight out of the oven with an ingredient no factory can imitate – a touch of motherly love. Those Chips Ahoy cookies aren’t even made of real dough. My homemade cookies have no artificial ingredients like the High Fructose Corn Syrup being packed into the Chips Ahoy imposters.

We also worked on Met 101. For my Met 101 this quarter I loved all of the activities that I went to and participated and places that I visited. One of my featured projects was my Soundtrack to my life where we had to choose songs throughout our lives that reminded us of memories. We also had to create a name and cover for the CD and that was one of my favorite parts. These assignments have taught me more about what type of teacher Xico is than anything because it shows how much he would like all of us to succeed to get to know us

Another thing we did was have a talk with Alaina DiGeorgio about having privilege. Doing the bead activity made you think about what privilege you have. Going through the list made you think more about what people actually go through on a daily basis. Some people don’t get the items that we have or even the family and friends we might have. There are so many new issues happening in the world people are losing out on some of the great things that we have as well.

On the other hand, the other members of our group were working on the different sources and different information for the final presentation. I also had to work on the effects of Coca Cola and the conspiracy behind it. It was really a great experience I could have during the semester. We all took a responsibility and we all had a goal. My goal was learning new skills through this activity and deepen my learning abilities. I was very serious and try to focus on our teamwork. So, everyone got a work to do, and we had one week
