...failed. Since the adoption of the current constitution some 139 years ago, more than 80 amendments have been adopted that cover a wide variety of issues. Article Four of the Arkansas Constitution defines the departments of the state government and clarifies the separation of powers within these departments. Section One of Article Four divides the government into three distinctive braches: legislative, executive, and judicial. The legislative branch is composed of the Senate and House of Representatives. The Arkansas Senate has 35 senators and the House has 100 representatives. Their primary role in the government is to make the laws. The executive branch is led by the Governor and also includes the Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, State Auditor, and State Land Commissioner. The judicial branch is composed of five court systems: the state Supreme Court, state Court of Appeals, Circuit Courts, District Courts, and City Courts. The Arkansas Supreme Court is the highest court of the state led by the Chief Justice, who is assisted by six associate justices ("Arkansas.gov: Official Website Of The State Of Arkansas", 2011). Section Two of Article Four states that no one person or group of persons belonging to one of the government departments shall exercise the powers of a different department, except when allowed.

...operated as a separate profit center, but manufacturing operations between each were highly integrated. The Metal Fabricating Division produced most of the component parts of the trailers, the Trailer Division performed the assembly operations, and the Sandblast & Paint Division was responsible for completing the sandblasting and final painting operation. B&L manufactured approximately 40 trailers per year, with about two-thirds produced during the period from November to April. The outrigger bracket, part number T-178, was an accessory that could be used to secure oversized containers. The bracket consisted of four component parts welded together, and each trailer sold by B&L had 20 brackets – 10 per side. The Metal Fabricating Division was presently manufacturing the outrigger bracket. The subassembly parts – T-67, T-75, T-69, and T-77 – were processed on a burn table, which cut the raw material to size. Although the burn table could work with eight stations, this machine had only been operating with one station. The final assembly operation, T-70, was performed at a manual welding station. Manufacturing lead time for the outrigger bracket was two weeks. However, the Metal Fabricating Division had been able to coordinate supply and production with assembly operations. Consequently, finished inventory levels of the outrigger bracket were kept to a minimum. B&L’sinventory holding costs were 20 percent...

...INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT DUE DATE: 04 APRIL 2016 CASE STUDY Case Study: ABC COMPANY The ABC Company was a family owned, conservatively managed company. For over forty years the company enjoyed slow, steady growth in reaching its current employment level of just over 200. All expansions were financed entirely out of earnings. As the company grew, its operating procedures were periodically re-examined and modified to cope with the complex problems that accompany growth. The company developed, manufactured, and sold metering and flow control devices used in the chemical industry. Recently, as a result of declining profits, management was considering the advisability of installing a more formal system for controlling its cost of materials. The company’s product line contained about forty items, ranging in size from gauges and simple fittings to large flow meters weighing up to 150 kilogram. Most of these were made in a number of different models and sizes, so that the total number of separate products was about 300. About half were standard models whose design had not changed greatly in the last ten years; others were subject to considerable technological change; a few involved special features for different customers, sometimes being made of special alloys to resist corrosive action of certain chemicals. Some of the more complex items were supplied with or without certain fittings and refinements. The company’s position in the industry depended on its ability to keep ahead...

(September 2012) | The United Nations Security Council. Reform of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) encompasses five key issues: categories of membership, the question of the veto held by the five permanent members, regional representation, the size of an enlarged Council and its working methods, and the Security Council-General Assembly relationship. Member States, regional groups and other Member State interest groupings developed different positions and proposals on how to move forward on this contested issue.[1] The reform of the Security Council requires the agreement of at least two-thirds of UN member states and that of all the permanent members of the UNSC, enjoying the veto right.[2] Contents * 1 History * 2 General Assembly Task Force * 3 Increasing membership * 3.1 "In Larger Freedom" * 3.2 Uniting for Consensus * 4 New permanent member proposals * 4.1 Brazil * 4.2 Germany * 4.3 India * 4.4 Japan * 4.5 Membership of a Muslim-majority nation * 4.6 Africa * 5 Veto reform * 6 Overall positions on reforming the Security Council * 6.1 United States * 6.2 United Kingdom and France * 6.3 Russia * 6.4 India * 6.5 Brazil * 6.6 South Africa ...

...Committee: United Nations General Assembly Topic: Kashmir- Is it a symbol of failure of United Nations Machinery Country: Germany Delegate: Ruchi Gupta Since the partition of British India into India and Pakistan in 1947, the Kashmir conflict between them has become intractable. India first referred the case of Pakistani aggression in Kashmir to the United Nations Security Council under Article 35 of the UN Charter on January 1, 1948. This move was directed towards protecting India’s territorial integrity. United Nations was involved in mediating the Kashmir conflict from 1948 through 1965. Later, at the end of the Third Pakistan- India war of 1971, Pakistan and India signed the Simla Agreement in 1972 which emphasized the adoption of a bilateral framework to solve the crisis. UNSC resolution 47 of 1948 recommended Pakistan to withdraw all its tribesmen and Pakistani nationals. It also recommended Indian forces to be reduced to minimum strengths to maintain law and order so as to later hold a UN supervised plebiscite in the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir to determine the aspirations of her people. But Pakistan never vacated and later India also backed out. As a result the referendum never went through and UN declaration could not be implemented. Germany agrees that the Kashmir issue should be undertaken bilaterally as “one spark” could be disastrous for the entire region. Germany has always supported negotiated settlement of the Kashmir issue between Pakistan and...

...OVERVIEW OF UNICEF. UNICEF is one of the biggest names in international aid and humanitarian work in the world today. It has won the noble prize as an award to first organisation and not an individual. Despite UNICEF’s awareness, fundraising, relief work and research, very few people know much about its origin. UNICEF was founded in 1946 commencing with a mission of proving emergency food and health care to the children in the countries that had been destroyed in world war II. Its original name was United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund. It was later changed to United Nations Children’s Fund in 1954 after being officially adopted as a permanent branch in UN. In 1959, UNICEF being a permanent member of the UN, the UN General Assembly adopts the declaration of the Rights of the Child, which defines children’s rights to protection, education, health care, shelter and good nutrition. In 1961, UNICEF decides to not only focus on the health issues of the child but also focus on the needs of the child as whole beginning with education by providing teacher training and classroom equipment in newly independent countries. In 1982, UNICEF came up with Child Survival and Development Revolution where it takes responsibility to save millions of children each year. The revolution includes four aspects; growth monitoring, oral rehydration therapy, breast feeding and immunisation. In 1989, there’s a convention on the rights of the child and comes into action in 1990 where there’s...

...Foreign policy In its 5 March 2011 "Founding Statement", the council stated, "[We] request from the international community to fulfill its obligations to protect the Libyan people from any further genocide and crimes against humanity without any direct military intervention on Libyan soil. Ali Al-Issawi was designated the Council's foreign affairs spokesperson in March 2011. Mahmoud Jibril later replaced Ali Al-Issawi and was designated as the Head of International Affairs. The NTC has also called on the international community to render assistance to its efforts to dislodge Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, the ruler of Libya since 1969, and his loyalists. Officials have asked for medical supplies, money, and weapons, among other forms of foreign aid. In late June 2011, it proposed using internationally based frozen assets belonging to Gaddafi and his inner circle as collateral for loans, with Finance Minister Ali Tarhouni warning that his government is virtually out of money The NTC has previously asked for those assets to be unfrozen and transferred to Benghazi, a request officials of the Obama administration in the United States indicated they would try to fulfill NTC officials have said that they intend to reward countries that have been early to recognize the council as the legitimate representative of Libya, as well as countries that have been involved in the international military intervention to suppress Gaddafi's forces. Among the incentives the council has offered to these...

...affect motivation and therefore performance? Help each other out here. The objectives of the PEP are to propose a plan for initiate the assembly process associate with the new line of LDTC radiation tubes, and reform the current assembly processes in the NTAD. The PEP has definitely positive influence on the Assembly process, which will expand capacity by 50% in the nuclear tube operations. However, some stages of the PEP underestimated the NTAR workers, and the Long's effort. As a result, it will decrease the existing Assembly worker's performance. One of the important factors of the proposal is to create process specifications for the nuclear tube operations, which Long strong disagree. Long prefers to use the production standards just as a guide for the employees. However, the PEP will rewrite and reform the process specifications on existing operations. After that, the PEP needs to enforce new standards into the work process. In addition, the proposal requires that Singer approve monitoring, evaluating, and documenting any deviations or changes. It will discourage the problem solving in the workplace. Also, it might hinder the employees' enthusiasm to create solution for the issues. Secondly, the plan will change the arrangements of the tube assembly operation. In addition to pilot process, the proposal is going to hire four new assembly operators with higher pay. The four new operators are unfamiliar with the existing workers, and training the...

Nancy Barfield, the production planner has been preparing the operating plan for the next 10 weeks. The first component for X500 is the H590 which they purchase from other local company but are then returned to the supplier due to the number of defective units hence, the production of P712 will be delayed since P712 is just a tapped H590.
