Throughout this course, many opportunities are available to post an initial response to a Discussion topic as well as to respond to your classmates’ responses. After you have completed the reading, and without reviewing your classmates’ responses, post your initial response to the following Discussion. Your post should be at least 300 words in length and should extend the discussion of the group supported by your course materials and/or other appropriate resources. After you have submitted your initial post, review some of your classmates’ posts and respond to at least two of your classmates. Refer to your Discussion Board Rubric for specific grading explanation.

Discussion Topic

In previous Discussion Boards, you have had the opportunity to identify the antecedents and consequences of target behaviors, the probable functions of target behaviors, and the level and trend of data through visual analyses of graphic displays. For this discussion, you will identify the following for each of the three scenarios provided:

• The measurable dimension of each target behavior
  • Discuss your reasoning for your selection.
• The appropriate data collection device needed to record each target behavior
  • Discuss your reasoning for your selection.

Scenario #1

Mr. Rogers is the Senior Manager of Ladies’ Blouses, Inc. Recently, production has fallen by 27% and stake holders are getting nervous. Mr. Rogers believes that it is time to try an incentive plan to increase his workers’ motivation to produce the necessary number of blouses each week. He called a meeting of all employees and announced that he would be providing Friday afternoon off with pay for each employee who met the goal of producing 25 blouses a day, Monday through Thursday. Each employee will mark the blouses he/she produces with a number-coded sticker so managers can identify each employee’s production for each day of the week. A $50.00 bonus will be added to the monthly paychecks of those employees who exceed daily production by five blouses for three out of four weeks in a month.

Scenario #2

Teddy’s parents would like him to be able to sit quietly during weekly dinners with his grandparents. Typically, Teddy tells several stories of his day at school during these dinners. A few stories are nothing to complain about, but he goes into great detail and can talk about a subject for quite some time. As a result, there is rarely time for adult conversation.

Scenario #3

Marsha is in second grade. She loves school and being with her friends! She likes having her desk by the window so she can look out and watch the birds and butterflies in the courtyard. Recently, her teacher has noticed that she is not finishing her work. Mrs. Willis has noticed her looking out the window after she has given instructions for the class to begin working on the worksheets. While Marsha turns in all of her work, many of the worksheets are incomplete.

One role of government is to ensure that policies benefit the people within their jurisdiction.

• For local governments, it would be the townspeople or city dwellers.
• For the state governments, it would be the people living within the state.
• For the federal government, it would be everyone within the borders of the country.

Week 1 Assignment: Essay – Benefiting the Public Good

PreviousNext

I am doing my assignment on the staff turnover and staff retention.

For the Assignment, select a value stream in your organization that can benefit from analysis and improvement. I have chosen staff turnover and staff retention in Child Protective Services. As noted previously, the value stream (or end-to-end process) selected does not need to be overly large or complex. Select something which has the potential for meaningful improvement, but which is manageable within the scope of this assignment.

1) Develop a current state Value Stream Map of your selected value stream. Show the customer demand rate (or Takt), information flow, work flow, and summary timeline on the map.

2) Document key metrics for each process block:  Process time (PT)  Lead time (LT)  Percent Complete and Accurate (%C&A)  Include any other appropriate metrics, such as number of operators, changeover time or setup time, batch size, and % uptime.
JWI 550: Operations Management Course Project Part A

3) Calculate the current state summary metrics:  Total lead time (Total LT)  Total process time (Total PT)  Activity Ratio (AR)  Rolled Percent Complete and Accurate (Rolled %C&A)

4) Describe the current state of the value stream and highlight any performance deficiencies and challenges, such as delays, excessive WIP, bottlenecks, capacity and workload imbalances, rework, poor quality yields, long lead times, and other operational issues.

Submission Requirements
Your work may be submitted in either Word or PowerPoint.
 Since you will need to include a diagram to map the value stream for #1, you should select whatever software you are most comfortable working with. Value stream process maps can easily be created in PowerPoint, but are more difficult to execute well in Word. You should consider using https://www.draw.io/ which is a free web-based tool for drawing flowcharts. Instructions for use are posted in the Course Documents section in Blackboard. You may also use other software such as Visio if you prefer, but this is not necessary. Note: If you do use a different mapping software and experience difficulties uploading it into Blackboard, convert your map to a PDF or JPG and paste it into Word or PPT before submitting.
 For #2, the information for each process block should be on the value stream map. For #3, it can be on the map or in tabular form. Show how the summary metrics are calculated. Keep your written answers brief and to the point. Accuracy is what matters. This should take no more than one page. There are no additional points for overly elaborate responses.
 For #4, a thorough response should take no more than one page.

11–4. Shipment and Destination Contracts – In 2003, Karen Pearson and Steve and Tara Carlson agreed
to buy a 2004 Dynasty recreational vehicle (RV) from DeMartini’s RV Sales in
Grass Valley, California. On September 29, Pearson, the Carlson’s, and
DeMartini’s signed a contract providing that “seller agrees to deliver the
vehicle to you on the date this contract is signed.” The buyers made a payment
of $145,000 on the total price of $356,416 the next day, when they also signed
a form acknowledging that the RV had been inspected and accepted. They agreed
to return later to have the RV transported out of state for delivery (to avoid
paying state sales tax on the purchase). On October 7, Steve Carlson returned
to DeMartini’s to ride with the seller’s driver to Nevada to consummate the
out-of-state delivery. When the RV developed problems, Pearson and the Carlson’s
fi led a suit in a federal district court against the RV’s manufacturer, Monaco
Coach Corp., alleging, in part, breach of warranty under state law. The applicable
statute is expressly limited to goods sold in California. Monaco argued that
this RV had been sold in Nevada. How does the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC)
define a sale? What does the UCC provide with respect to the passage of title?
How do these provisions apply here? Discuss. [Carlson v. Monaco Coach Corp.,
486 F.Supp.2d 1127 (E.D.Cal. 2007)]

11–5. Additional Terms – Continental Insurance Co. issued a policy to cover
shipments by Oakley Fertilizer, Inc. Oakley agreed to ship three thousand tons
of fertilizer by barge from New Orleans, Louisiana, to Ameropa North America in
Caruthersville, Missouri. Oakley sent Ameropa a contract form that set out
these terms and stated that title and risk would pass to the buyer after the
seller was paid for the goods. Ameropa e-mailed a different form that set out
the same essential terms but stated that title and risk of loss would pass to
the buyer when the goods were loaded onto the barges in New Orleans. The cargo
was loaded onto barges but had not yet been delivered when it was damaged in
Hurricane Katrina. Oakley fi led a claim for the loss with Continental but was
denied coverage. Oakley fi led a suit in a Missouri state court against the insurer.
Continental argued that title and risk passed to Ameropa before the damage as
specified in the buyer’s form under Section 2–207(3) of the Uniform Commercial
Code because the parties did not have a valid contract under UCC 2–207(1).
Apply UCC 2–207 on additional terms in an acceptance to these facts. Is
Continental correct? Explain. [Oakley Fertilizer, Inc. v. Continental
Insurance Co., 276 S.W.3d 342 (Mo. App.E.D. 2009)]

12–7. Libel and Invasion of Privacy – The Northwest Herald, a newspaper in Illinois,
regularly received e-mail reports from area police departments about criminal
arrests. The paper published the information, which is proper because the
reports are public records. One day, the Herald received an e-mail
stating that Carolene Eubanks had been charged with theft and obstruction of
justice. The paper put that information into an issue that was to be published
four days later. Several hours after the original e-mail had been received, the
police issued another e-mail, explaining that Eubanks had not been charged with
anything; the correct name was Barbara Bradshaw. Due to a long weekend, no one
at the Herald noticed the e-mail until after the paper had been published.
The following day, five days after the e-mails had been received, the paper
published a correction. Eubanks sued the Herald for libel and for
invasion of privacy. Does Eubanks have a good case for either tort? Why or why
not? [Eubanks v. Northwest Herald Newspapers, 922 N.E.2d 1196
(App.Ct.Ill. 2010)]
