NEXT-DAY AIR SERVICE
This is the beginning of a cumulative case study about a fictitious firm we call Next-Day Air Service (NDAS).
The case study begins here in Chapter 1 and continues throughout the rest of the book. It requires you to complete tasks that are related to topics covered in each corresponding chapter of the text. The end of each chapter contains the case narrative, related figures, and a set of questions and problems. These do not have one unique solution. There are too many alternatives when dealing with LANs, WANs, MANs, BNs, and the Internet, so a reallife network design and development problem can have several workable answers.
As with any real-life

Another recommendation is to eliminate the batch process so that payments can get to the suppliers at a faster rate and decrease the number of supplier complaints, summarized on Table 7 (Page 7). This will eliminate the muda of the extra time needed to un-batch the invoices so that information can be relayed to suppliers quicker.

Because so many new employees have been added at both the corporate and branch offices, a new full-time position has been added in Accounts Payable to handle the payroll and assist Lawson. The subject of paying employees weekly has been discussed as well. Case Figure 2 shows the NDAS organization chart. The branch offices currently batch all billing data by order date and send them daily by overnight delivery to the corporate office along with other interoffice correspondence. When Information Services/Data Processing receives the packages, it enters the batches and processes them daily. The billing processing normally takes place from 48 to 96 hours after freight and parcel delivery. Once this processing has been completed, the data base supports the resolution of any questions or problems associated with the billings. Because of an increasing volume of paperwork brought about by continued business expansion, the varying complexity of the billing process, and the preferred rates being given by competitors, NDAS’s corporate management has decided to automate the billing process throughout its Florida offices. This is the first step in a series of strategic moves planned to provide online transaction processing and real-time customer information through the Internet.

There are many things to consider when designing a computer network –such as costs of components, software and labor; communication, cohesion, expandability and many others. However, the end goal in such an enterprise is to have a fully functional, harmonious, and cohesive tiered system where duties and actions are divided, and delineated accordingly. One of the major network architectures used to facilitate this process is known as the TCP/IP Protocol Suite.
Network designs have evolved from it early state to complex designs and features. The way we see network has also change from a basic layout to sometimes complex and detailed layouts. Today Cisco, an American multinational corporation that focuses on designing, manufacturing and selling network equipment, has set the foundation of much of the knowledge of networking and is held has one of the top networking companies. Example of Cisco’s presence in network design models would be their three-layer network design which includes the Access, Distribution, and Core layers. Cisco’s equipment is also held as one of the “top dog” in the Information Technology Networking field. Cisco manufacture many different types of network equipment which can be break into two major groups, commercial and residential. The main focus of this paper will be commercial equipment and not residential level equipment. A major part of network today would be the wireless side of the network due to the major increase in mobile device such as tables, smart phones, and laptops. There are numerous portions of the wireless side of the network which includes the Wi-Fi signal technology, the wireless access point’s hardware, and the technology in uses to make the Wi-Fi faster, reliably, and securer. There are several significant influences when considering a WAN connections, these include but not limit to the purpose of the WAN, Traffic requirements, and the geographic scope of the WAN.
