distributors would have to submit their Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) so that Barilla can control it.

Can Sally tell Holly when the forms will be ready to pick up? Explain briefly why or why not.

In 1116, Henry I, son of William the Conqueror, issued the Leges Henrici, from which

The core problem facing Barilla is the high degree of demand variance that it experiences by product and throughout the year. The main causes of the demand variance are limited visibility downstream, and reliance on promotions to push product downstream.

This paper goes over the effects the media had on the O.J. Simpson case and how the media interfered. The O.J. Simpson murder case is touted as the most televised criminal trial in history and from the second the murders were discovered there was a media frenzy. On the night of June 12, 1994 the bodies of Nicole Brown and her waiter Ronald Goldman were found outside of Nicole’s condo both stabbed to death. The suspect, former athlete, icon, and actor Orenthal James (O.J.) Simpson was the main suspect of the crime. On June 16th, 1994 the LAPD pressed murder charges against him and placed a warrant for his arrest

Looking at the fluctuation in Exhibit 12, one could expect that poor coordination in the supply chain would increase costs. Provide a discussion for the cost of poor coordination in Barilla’s supply chain. Items to consider here include production changeovers or setups, inventory levels, facility utilization, transportation costs, quantity discounts and promotions, canvas periods etc.

The Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) is an institute dedicated to the quality and safety for patients by helping nurses gain the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) to provide patient care (QSEN Institute, 2017). Specimen labeling errors fall under the QSEN competency of safety. The purpose of this paper is to present the current problem with specimen processing and compose a second solution to this problem. The organizations that support my project, the National Safety Patient Foundation (NPSF) and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), will be discussed as well. Finally, an overall evaluation of the clinical practice project and preceptor experience will be presented.

Coffee for a cause is expected to out produce Thin Blue Line in production and sales. This is important as we can determine the cycle time, lead time, and takt time based on the productions of the Thin Blue Line product line, with some changes based on an increase in production and a change of product. The goal for Black Riffle Coffee Company is to have a

In the 1790s members of the industry in both Paris and London were working on inventions to try to mechanise paper-making. In England John Dickenson produced the cylinder machine that was operational by 1809. Although useful for smaller enterprises, this lacked the large scale potential of the machine resulting from the invention of Nicholas-Louis Robert in Paris, which had a more complicated incubation period. The last of the early improvements to this machine were financed by the Fourdrinier brothers in London, and it was after these brothers that the machine was named. The Fourdrinier could produce paper of virtually any size for the very first time, limited only by the width of the continuous wire mesh upon which the paper was made.

Childhood obesity is increasing worldwide. Experts estimate that 1 in 5 kids between the ages of 6 and 17 are overweight. That means that as they get older they will be more at risk for diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart related diseases. Things that we used to associate with older people are now affecting younger and younger children. There are many reasons for this rise in obesity and this paper will look at a few of them. My goal is to show a correlation between what children are doing and how it affects their chances of being obese. My data comes from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website. They sent a survey to schools in all

One of the underlying causes of the difficulties that the JITD program was created to solve was the effects of inconsistent demand that came from Barilla’s distributors. The extreme demand variation strained Barillas manufacturing and logistics, and made very hard for Barilla to meet that demand. For example, as noted on the case “the specific sequence of pasta production necessitated by the tight heat and humidity specifications in the tunnel kiln made it difficult to quickly produce a particular pasta that had been sold out due

Barilla’s products are divided into Fresh products and Dry products. The demand for these two distinct kinds of products is quite different, and the order, shipment and delivery methods for them are also various.

The other side of the problem is caused by Barilla’s sales and marketing practices, which are based on achieving sales goals without regard to efficient operations. Barilla promotional “canvass” periods are the most problematic of these discounts because they make it in a distributors best interest to invest in months’ worth of stock of a discounted product.  This bulk purchase is unrelated to the near term retail demand and muddles the picture for a Barilla operations manager trying to tailor operations to demand. The volume discounts less problematic because they are incremental, and lead to small changes in orders to achieve a truck-load quantity. This saves on Barilla distribution costs and is unlikely to induce large swings in demand for a given product as trade promotions do.

The AAA region was hit by a period of economic uncertainty caused by the slowdown of Chinese growth, instability of Middle East and economic recession in Russia. The Barilla brand market share in value terms increased in all of the key markets in this area: confirmed position as leading competitor at national level in Russia, market leader in Turkey, and further expansion in Middle East and Israel markets with an aggressive dedicated strategy. The substantial investment in the Solnecnogorsk (Russia) for pasta manufacturing will significantly improve flexibility and profitability in this area (Barilla,
