...5.1 Situation Analysis This small-town distribution firm was created by James Brunswick, after his employment as a senior logistics officer of a larger-size freight company operating out of Chicago and distributing to seven states. He began this company with only his two college buddies in his grandmothers shed, and with a single loan from the bank, he was on his way to success. Once business began to increase, James decided to relocate to a bigger building, on the outside of the town. Brunswick Distribution implements resale strategies, to get products from manufacturer to retailers on time and efficiently. Simply put, they are classified as single distributors. While BDI is a rather diminutive distribution firm, their customer base spans from all over their local environment. With a focus on quality and efficiency, in and around the tiny town of Moline; however, it still isn’t as little as the shed they began BDI in, for their first nine months of service. (Even without a strategic game plan, they were dedicated to making the company work, and would do whatever it took to ensure that it did.) After the first relocation, Brunswick decided on an additional step, which was a milestone, to say the least. He signed a contract with Kitchen-Aid. Located not far, just 35 miles outside Moline and specializing in high-end kitchen appliances, they signed the agreement in 1992. By the end of 2000, BDI had almost doubled in the area of 10,000 square foot building capacity...

...Channels of Distribution In the uncertain fluctuating market of today, it is essential for a company to hold on and face those uncertainties in order to survive. Consumers can be an aid for a company's survival, thereby it is essential for consumers to get the goods of a company whenever and however they need them. Here is where distribution channels come in and give hand. "Channels of distribution are the different paths that goods passed through in moving from the producer to the consumer", (Meyer et al, 1988). With the help of distribution channels, companies are able to overcome the time, place and possession gaps that separate goods and services from the consumers. As said by Aaker (1984), access to an effective and efficient marketing channel is often a key success factor. However, in this competitive era, an understanding of the alternative distribution channels and the trends in their relative importance can be of strategic importance for any company. For example, the growth and importance can be of a self service retail gasoline stations and the comparison growth in the importance of convenience stores such as the 7/11 chain in gasoline retailing has strategic significance to petroleum companies and distributors as well as to firms in food retailing (example adapted from Aaker, 1984). Additionally, because of competition, gaining distribution in some industries can be extremely difficult and costly. Nowadays, even large, established firms have trouble obtaining...

...University of Phoenix Material Distribution, Hypothesis Testing, and Error Worksheet Answer the following questions. Questions that are answered without the work will not receive full credit. When a question says explain or describe, please DO NOT copy word for word from a reference. You need to explain the concept so I know you understand what it means. For questions requiring material from Statdisk, make sure to turn labels on, take a screen capture (CTRL-Print Screen on most Windows-based computers), and paste the image into the worksheet. Crop the image as appropriate. 1. Describe a normal distribution in no more than 100 words (5 point). Answer: A normal distribution is a continuous random variable distribution with a bell shape, and has only two parameters: the mean, and the variance. A normal distribution can be represented by the formula: y=e^(-1/2)(x-μ/σ)/(σ√2pi). The mean can be any positive number and variance can be any positive number, so there are an infinite number of normal distributions. The shape of the distribution when graphed is symmetrical and bell-shaped. Use this information to answer questions 2-4.

...into the economic benefits and reliability of common electrical power distribution configurations currently used in the United Kingdom. About 40% of power system investment is in the distribution system equipment (40% in generation, 20% in transmission). Power systems are comprised of 3 basic electrical subsystems. • Generation subsystem • Transmission subsystem • Distribution subsystem We distinguish between these various portions of the power system by voltage levels as follows: • Generation: 1kV-30 kV • EHV Transmission: 500kV-765kV • HV Transmission: 230kV-345kV • Sub transmission system: 69kV-169kV • Distribution system: 120V-35kV The distribution system may also be divided into three distinct subsystems. • Distribution substation • Primary distribution system • Secondary distribution system Distribution substations The distribution substation receives power from one or more transmission or sub transmission lines at the corresponding transmission or sub transmission voltage level and provides that power to one or more distribution feeders that originate in the substation and comprise the primary network. Most feeders emanate radially from the substation to supply the load. There are five main functions of the distribution substation: 1. Voltage transformation: One or more transformers will always be located within the substation to step down the voltage to the primary distribution voltage level. These transformers will always be three-phase banks,...

Use the normal approximation to compute probabilities for a binomial variable. 6–2 Applications of the Normal Distribution 6–3 The Central Limit Theorem 6–4 The Normal Approximation to the Binomial Distribution Summary 6–1 300 Chapter 6 The Normal Distribution Statistics Today What Is Normal? Medical researchers have determined so-called normal intervals for a person’s blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and the like. For example, the normal range of systolic blood pressure is 110 to 140. The normal interval for a person’s triglycerides is from 30 to 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl). By measuring these variables, a physician can determine if a patient’s vital statistics are within the normal interval or if some type of treatment is needed to correct a condition and avoid future illnesses. The question then is,...

...The probability distribution of the population data is called the population distribution. Tables 7.1 and 7.2 on page 309 of the text provide an example of such a distribution. The probability distribution of a sample statistic is called its sampling distribution. Tables 7.3 to 7.5 on page 311 of the text provide an example of the sampling distribution of the sample mean. 1. Sampling error is the difference between the value of the sample statistic and the value of the corresponding population parameter, assuming that the sample is random and no nonsampling error has been made. Example 7–1 on page 312 of the text exhibits sampling error. Sampling errors occur only in sample surveys. 2. Nonsampling errors are errors that may occur during collection, recording, and tabulation of data. The second part of Example 7–1 on pages 312 and 313 of the text exhibits nonsampling error. Nonsampling errors occur both in sample surveys and censuses. 3. a. [pic] b. [pic][pic] Sampling error = [pic] c.

...Name Instructor Course Date Justice and Economic Distribution Justice can be defined as living and acting within the law. This means that every individual should act in a right manner and that do not abuse other people’s rights. When one fails to follow regulations within a country or a community, then the rule of law can take its course. However, for justice to prevail, even the law breakers should be judged fairly without discrimination, prejudice or judging out of hunger. On the other hand, justice should not only be seen in terms of punishing the law breakers, but it also means treating people in an equal and fair way. For instance, in a family set up parents should treat their children in an equal manner. According to the family justice, parents should only punish their children in a way that correct the mistake but reward children when they do a positive thing. The laws or regulations that ensure every person practices justice have their roots may be in societal norms, religious ethics, and the constitution of a state. The primary goal of every rule of law is to ensure that all every member of a state or a society a gets just treatment. According to Maiese, M (210) what people see as injustice is capable of resulting into unrest, dissatisfaction, or even revolution. He goes on to claim that there are various types of justices, coming as a result of various ways through which guiding principles of justice are expressed by various levels. The term distributism is an...

...Mercedes and BMW have been competing head-to-head for market share in the luxury-car market for more than four decades. Back in 1959, BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke) almost went bankrupt and nearly sold out to Daimler-Benz, the maker of Mercedes-Benz cars. BMW was able to recover to the point that in 1992 it passed Mercedes in worldwide sales. Among the reasons for BMWs success was its ability to sell models that were more luxurious than previous models but still focused on consumer quality and environmental responsibility. In particular, BMW targeted its sales pitch to the younger market, whereas Mercedes retained a more mature customer base. In response to BMWs success, Mercedes has been trying to change their image by launching several products in an effort to attract younger buyers who are interested in sporty, performance-oriented cars. BMW, influenced by Mercedes, is pushing for more refinement and comfort. In fact, one automotive expert says that Mercedes wants to become BMW, and vice versa. However, according to one recent automotive expert, the focus is still on luxury and comfort for Mercedes while BMW focuses on performance and driving dynamics. Even though each company produces many different models, two relatively comparable coupe automobiles are the BMW 3 Series Coupe 335i and the Mercedes CLK350 Coupe. In a recent year, the national U.S. market price for the BMW 3 Series Coupe 335i was $39,368 and for the Mercedes CLK350 Coupe was $44,520. Gas mileage for both...

...affects the business’ bottom line. The Poisson Distribution is a discrete random variable distribution that can be used to calculate the probability of the number of events occurring over a given interval (Anderson, Sweeney, Williams, Camm, & Cochran, 2015). The formula below can be used to calculate the annual turnover of employees. f(x) = μx e -μ / x! f(x) = the probability of x occurrences in an interval μ = expected value or mean number of occurrences in an interval e = the number of annual employment turnovers (Anderson, Sweeney, Williams, Camm, & Cochran, 2015) For example, if a company has 500 employees and an average of 10 employees leave and are replaced annually, we can determine the probability of 15 employee turnovers. Therefore, if, μ = 10, x=15, & e= 2.71828 Then, the probability of having 15 employee turnovers is 0.03472 or 3.4712%. This percentage can help determine the turnover cost of the company and how it affects internal management. Employee turnover can increase cost due to employee training and possible disruptions of operations (Mayhew, n.d.). Therefore, management should determine the reasons behind these voluntary or involuntary turnovers. Anderson, D.R., Sweeney, D.J., Williams, T.A., Camm, J.D., & Cochran, J.J.
