JHT Task 2

Given the highly competitive nature of today’s markets we as a company must provide high quality products to survive. Quality itself has become a major competitive factor and in many ways is a contributing factor in success or failure.

Many students who struggle with reading ask why should we read, what is the point? The point is that being able to read opens you up a whole new world of knowledge and imagination. But to have that new world opened up you need to be able to comprehend what you are reading. The primary goal of reading is to determine the meaning of

I review the Blue Valley School District Acceptable use policy for student’s K-12. Technology use is important for all students, teacher, parents and school districts in order to provide a safe digital learning environment. Technology gives way to valuable educational experience that all students are entitled to. School districts have the responsibility to provide acceptable use policies for the digital devices, and the Internet provided to students, which is owned by the district. Whenever technologies are brought upon school grounds, or to school activities, even when the technologies are not owned by the school the technologies are still subject to adhere to the acceptable use policies. The intended use of technology in education is to open new learning experiences, benefit the student’s education experience, and create skills for future academic endeavors.

The fourth step in the strategic process will include the implementation of strategies by forming projects. “The conceptual framework for strategy implementation lacks the structure and discipline found in strategy formulation. Implementation requires action and completing tasks” (Gray, Larson, 2008).

STEVENSON was only interested in attending the Governors’ conference because he did not like the idea of the reestablishment of the BROYLES COMMISSION. It was said that his first task that he wanted to complete was to speak to Hoover in order to convince him to meet with two members from the American Legion, which would include Illinois State Commander Lawrence J. Fenlon. Hoover was able to understand where STEVENSON was coming from he went so far to inform STEVENSON to “beware of amateur Red-hunters, citing several examples of bumbling counter-subversives who had interfered with the Bureau’s sophisticated internal security operations” (53). Many people were lobbying for the BROYLES COMMISSION to be reintroduced, but something more important came up, which was the issue of the investigation into state educational institutions. During the meeting in February of 1951 STEVENSON and many other state governors that

Lester Smith (Smith) has owned a 20-acre parcel of land in the City of Lilliput, Minnesota since 1980. Seven acres consist of wetland, and on the remaining 13, Mr. Smith has built a large house, a barn, and an outdoor horse-riding arena that he operates as a business. In 2005, Smith decided to build a second barn including an indoor riding arena.

This helps DRAKEN management and everyone within the company to have a sense of urgency about what needs to be done.

The business wants to focus on building custom heirloom quality furniture however; there is a current customer base that also knows Doe Furniture for its custom kitchen and kitchen refinishing.

After I had made my choices in quarter for I checked the pro forma and made adjustments to factory capacity and demand to insure we could hit profitability. I did cut too close on the inventory because we had loss sales due to stock outs. The lost sales did not come close to what our losses where due to excess capacity and inventory holding costs in Quarter 2 and Quarter 3. Pro forma are a crucial peace of the Simulation. Once I fully grasped the concept I was able to make better decisions for Lean in enterprises.

The balanced scorecard for the customer aspect correctly identifies factors that are needed to maintain a symphony that can be considered world class by all. The scorecard acknowledges the fact that they have to employ high

“Value chain analysis is a process where a firm identifies its primary and support activities that add value to its final product and then analyze these activities to reduce costs or increase differentiation (Value chain analysis)”. Throughout the simulation, I was always thinking about what the primary goal is. Primary goal was to reduce costs and provide a good image rating to the community and nations Daily Durable was serving. The way Daily Durable added value was by focusing mainly on corporate social responsibility. The company donated to charities yearly as well as using green materials and using recycled boxes. Training was provided to all for diversity. Daily Durable donated to charities for children in need to not only improve image ratings but add value to the company. Training was provided each year to offer more opportunities within the company as well as for each employee’s current position to help them succeed. Once customers see they donate to children each year, they feel they are also donating each year as well. Using recycled boxes cut down on purchasing new boxes for shipping each time they shipped out footwear to wholesalers and plants. Therefore saves money in the short and long run. Green shoes are made from earth friendly materials like

They did have some weaknesses. Their SQ rating was consistently 5, below the industry average of 6. Company F, the game winner, had an SQ rating of 8. They did not offer free shipping with their Internet orders. I consider this a customer service weakness; however, their retail price point was very low, and this did not seem to impact their sales numbers. Celebrity appeal was sporadic at best, with several years showing no celebrity endorsements.
