Alex comes up with the consensus that the “Goal” of his business and many others is to increase net profit while simultaneously increasing return on investment and their cash flow at the plant. This basically means to make money. These three measurements can be achieved by looking closer into his second set of measurements. Alex specifically must find a way to increase throughput while at the same time decreasing it inventory and operational expenses. All three of these measurements must be cautiously monitored since they all rely on each other to be obtained in balance. Factors that cause throughput, inventory, and operational expenses to become unbalanced are excess manpower and balance capacity of the demand of resources in the market.

[a] Although the film is not explicit on this point, what seems to be driving Stephen Glass? As best as you can tell, what are his life goals and aspirations? Did he truly "know himself," including his own strengths and weaknesses?

In order to find happiness, it is often said that one should find their passion and do that often. For Gilbert LaCrosse his passion was windows. Not just any windows, but high-end, handcrafted and simply beautiful windows. His journey towards making his passion his life’s work began in an elderly carpenter’s workshop. Amidst the tools, wood, sawdust and glass he absorbed the lessons and skills handed down from this master window maker. He learned which tools were the best for which task. Gilbert LaCrosse also learned an essential aspect of creating the finest windows, use the best materials you can find. The carpenter taught his apprentice what wood characteristics to search for, and how to choose the proper glass from local vendors. All the lessons learned would become invaluable as the carpenter retired and LaCrosse’s business journey began (McShane & Von, 2015).

I enhanced the quality of product 2, which was slightly higher than product 1. The sales were decreased in this quarter mainly due to high quality and price however net income was improved. The key metrics which I emphasized in this quarter was on forecasting and finances which I did using different reports such as raw material, financial reports etc. By viewing these reports, I was able to handle the sales forecast of this quarter and the forecasted sales were very closer to the actual demand.

Amanda and Willy both deny their childrens’ underachievement and blames and accept that the destiny of their kids exists in their grasp. Consequently, they envision their kids as being something they are not, trying to shroud their childrens’ disappointments. Such illusions permit Amanda and Willy to feel fruitful in framing Laura and Biff's lives. Amanda denies Laura as a challenged person and adjusts any individual who trusts her to be along these lines, all throughout the play. Willy impacted Biff's conviction that he had been a sales representative for Bill Oliver. Biff starts to scrutinize this after the meeting that

In 1938, Joe St. Clair built a small glassmaking workshop in the backyard of the family home. It was merely equipped with machinery that’d been cast out of other nearby factories, but within a few short years, he and his family had made a name for themselves in the art glass industry.

Today, St. Clair Glass is called the “House of Glass” and is owned by Joe Rice, a descendant of Joe St. Clair. Rice continues to craft art glass in the family tradition while bringing new technologies and ideas to the

In 1951, the Corning Museum of Glass was built. It was an L-shaped building that composed of the non-for-profit Corning Museum of Glass, the for-profit Corning Glass Center, and the Steuben Glass factory. The Corning Museum of Glass is an institution whose mission is “to tell the world about glass by engaging, educating, and inspiring visitors and the community through the art, history, and science of glass.” Thanks to resources like the Juliette K. and Leonard S. Rakow Research Library, this museum is able to spread knowledge about the art, history, and science of glassmaking.

Google Glass, the future has arrived. Being able to use the computer with only your head has always been thought of as futuristic but this technology may already be here. Google announced its new project, project glass, in January 2013, and it took the world by surprise, no one thought it was capable to search the web, take a video, or even text someone using only glasses. Google X Lab is developing Glass and Project Glass leader Babak Parviz announced the new project on Google+. Can technologies like Google glass really exists, what impact could this have on the world, and could they possibly be harmful?

If there is one thing I know about businesses as an engineering student, it is that their only goal is to make profit. A strategy of making better profit is by attempting the total cost minimization of the production of a business’s products or services. This is achieved when a business tries to produce their services or products using the most cost effective route, however by still achieving the level of quality that satisfies their requirements of the products.

Google Glass has been described as “a personal assistant whereby it allows users to direct connect to the Web via WiFi, or tethers to a 3G or 4G mobile devices via Bluetooth. Its weight is less than a pair of sunglasses ( approximately nine pounds ) and it basically operated by touch and voice.” (Tuffley,2013) Since Google Glass comes with the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, you could connect your Google Glass with your mobile devices such a smart phone, via Bluetooth. Google Glass also able to translate your speech to text, with it connected to your mobile devices, you can now chat instantly with your friends on Chat Room or Instant Messaging without looking down on your smart phones, instead, you just have to “talk” to them. Google Glass is said to be an almost “hands free device”, the propose of it is to create a more active lifestyle with our advanced technology, it is enough for us seeing people meeting up in a café, meanwhile all they do is just looking down on their smart phones instead of talking to each other, and they could call that a “gathering”, yet it is actually just a group of people sitting together looking at their smart phones separately. The Google Glass is currently still on it’s “Trial and Error” journey, where Google make the Google Glass available for developers, the price stated in the meantime was $1,500. A few lucky developers
