...Home Style Cookies, Lew Mark Baking Company In this case study, the focus revolves around the Lew Mark Baking Company. The Lew-Mark Baking Company according to the case study is from a small town in western New York. Lew-mark Baking company operates in New York and New Jersey. It employs around 200 workers in a mainly blue collar, informal atmosphere. In my paper, I will answer several questions about operations for this company The Cookie Production Process When describing the cookie production process for Lew-mark baking, it is best described as using the batch processing system. The batch processing system can best be described as the execution of a series of programs ("jobs") on a computer without human interaction. “Batch Processing is used when a moderate value of goods or services is desired, and it can handle a moderate variety of products and services” (Stevenson 2009, P 239). This method helps with quantity management because Lew mark only makes cookies according to demand. What are two ways that the company has increased productivity? Why did increasing the length of the ovens result in a faster output? One obvious way the company is increasing productivity is that it only makes cookies according to the demand. What ever order it receives from its distributor is what is made in the factory. This ensures that productivity is centered on the demand and time is not wasted baking products that might or might not sell. This is return, makes productivity quicker...

...Home-Style Cookies Ashford University BUS 644 Professor Michael Snell August 29, 2011 Briefly describe the cookie production process. Everything starts when management gets the orders from the distributors, which are then scheduled and put onto a list. The list for the day is then given at the beginning of the shift to the person in charge of mixing. The person then checks the master list for the ingredients needed for each type of cookie. The person in charge if mixing then puts the information into the computer and the computer figures out what is exactly needed according to the quantity and the type of cookies needed. The computer then sends the information it configures to the storage silos that are located outside of the plant where the main ingredients are located. All of the ingredients needed are automatically sent to the giant mixing machines where everything is mixed together into a batter. The batter is then put into cutting machines that cut the batter into individual diagonal cookies. The cut cookies are then put onto a conveyer belt that will send them through one of the two ovens. There are some cookies that have filling and those cookies are first filled and folded before they are sent into the oven. Once the cookies come out of the oven they are then sent onto spiral cooling racks 20 feet high and three feet wide. As the cookies are finished with the cooling process workers manually put the cookies into boxes and while they are doing this they remove...

...EATING HABITS OF BATANGEÑOS A Proposed Study Presented to the Faculty of College of Tourism Hospitality Management In Partial Fulfilment Of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Hotel and Restaurant Management CHAPTER1 The Problem and its Background INTRODUCTION Eating is the ingestion of food to provide for all organisms their nutritional or medicinal needs particularly for energy and growth. Everyone must eat in order to survive. Eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies staying unrealistic thin, or depriving everyone self of the food they love. Rather it’s about feeling great having more energy stabilizing their mood and keeping them self as healthy as possible. Filipinos love to eat, and since they’re naturally hospitable and gregarious, food is the basis of their social life. Because the feeling of fulfilment after eating rice, their staple ingredient, is relatively short- lived, they eat three meals a day and two snacks in between. Filipinos, especially country folk, rise early. Some will eat a Segundo almuerzo (second breakfast) around 10:30, plus a merienda, or mid- afternoon snack. Rural folk eat their main meal at midday, while city dwellers emphasize the evening meal. This study is written to help Batangeños to become aware about how they eat. It will also broaden the mind of Batangeños that eating habit is not just about eating but it can be cause also Batangeños suffer in illness and death. The research will also enlighten...

...cookie, but today it is a global brand. Faced with stagnation in the domestic market, Kraft Foods moved it into emerging markets where it made some mistakes, learnt from them and ultimately triumphed. This case study looks at the strategies used to win over customers in China and India. On March 6, 2012, the famous cookie brand, Oreo, celebrated its 100th birthday. From humble beginnings in a Nabisco bakery in New York City, Oreo has grown to become the bestselling cookie brand of the 21st century generating $1.5 billion in global annual revenues. Currently owned by Kraft Foods Inc, Oreo is one of the company's dozen billiondollar brands. Until the mid-1990s, Oreo largely focused on the US market - as reflected in one of its popular advertising slogans from the 1980s, "America's Best Loved Cookie". But the dominant position in the US limited growth opportunities and spurred Kraft to turn to international markets. With China and India representing possibly the jewels in the crown of international target markets due to their sheer size, Oreo was launched in China in 1996. The China launch was based on the implicit assumption that what made it successful in its home market would be a winning formula in any other market. However, after almost a decade in China, Oreo cookies were not a hit as anticipated, according to Lorna Davis, in charge of the global biscuit division at Kraft. And the team even considered pulling Oreo out of the Chinese market altogether. In 2005, Kraft...

...MGT603 Assignment Case study one 1. What behaviors are involved in online grocery shopping? The online grocery shopping consists of various types of behaviors; such as information contact, funds access, store contact, product contact and transaction behaviors. Information contact behavior is mostly a part of online grocery shopping, where consumers used to search their required products and order through online processes. The fund access behavior is also used in online grocery shopping while purchasing products through online by using their credit/debit cards or net banking. Sometime, customers used to order through online but visit the nearest stores to bring the product after inspecting; such as fresh vegetables, milk products and meat or animal proteins etc. therefore, they must search for the nearest store and product and contact them to bring those pre-ordered products. There are several behaviors involved in online grocery shopping. For peapod grocery, the order were filled at affiliated stores and delivered to the customer’s home in a ninety minute time period; this save the customers time and reduced the stress that grocery shopping often causes due to lack of time and overcrowding. For these conveniences, the consumers were willing to pay a monthly fee as well as a fee per order that included the services of packaging, transporting, and delivering. Most of the items available for this service are brand name goods, which caused little risk in the consumers mind in...

...Epidemiology Study: Teen Obesity N J Nur 408 January 9, 2012 Felita Patterson, MPH, RN Epidemiology Study: Teen Obesity Teenage obesity is on the rise this country. In the last couple of decades, the world has changed in a startling and dramatic way. Computers, computer games, the Internet, and extended free time have pushed the numbers of teenage obesity to an alarming figure (Teen obesity, 2011). While there’s no one cause of obesity; the factors that can make someone obese are a variety of genetic, biological, behavioral, and cultural factors (AACAP, 2011). As the official website of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry explains, childhood obesity is often related to bad eating habits, overeating or binging, no exercise, family history, medical issues, stress or extreme life changes, family issues, low self-esteem, or depression (2011). Although a few extra pounds are not dangerous for most people; obesity is a serious health issue as it puts a definite strain on the human body. It can cause issues like an increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, breathing problems, trouble sleeping (AACAP, 2011). In fact, “Teenagers who have a weight problems now—that continues to increase or stay the same in terms of their weight—will likely have a much higher risk of premature death” (Gay, 2006)(p. 26). This clearly shows the tremendous and serious threat that obesity poses for teenagers. Demographical Data Every individual has an ideal...

...CIW Foundations Study Guide | Internet Fundamentals The Internet, sometimes called simply "the Net," is a worldwide system of computer networks composed of other networks and individual computers in which users at any one computer can, if they have permission, get information from any other computer. The internet makes use of the TCP/IP protocol suite (to be covered later) in order to perform connections and communication. The technical coordinating body of the internet is ICANN. Network Solutions used to be responsible for assigning domain names and IP addresses. This function has now been taken over by Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers(ICANN) which is a division of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Network Solutions still maintains the master database of all domain names and IP addresses. Each distinct version of an Internet standards-related specification is published as part of the "Request for Comments" (RFC) document series. RFCs cover a range of topics in addition to Internet Standards, from discussions of new research concepts to memos about the status of the Internet.

...Business Case Study Saint Cupcake Entrepreneurship Near the heart of the thriving ‘Pearl District’ in downtown Portland sits a completely unassuming retail bakery. Unassuming, that is, until one smells the delicious baking scents in the air and sees the sign ‘Saint Cupcake,’ and at once, visitors are reverted back to days of childhood when cupcakes were the biggest thing since the invention of bicycles. Saint Cupcake has had great success as a specialized bakery since they opened in November, 2005. The bakery sees a growing number of walk-in customers every day and has a thriving catering business for weddings and events. The business has been so successful that the married owners, Jami and Matthew Curl, want to expand their operation to other parts of the city where they can reach an even bigger audience for cupcake lovers. Company Background When Jami Curl was 27, she was working as a marketing specialist for the state bar association and began a master’s degree program at the local state university. In her free time, she also started a one-woman baking operation making pies, cakes, and cupcakes. Jami had fond memories of baking with her mother and grandmother and had many great recipes she used that were learned from those days baking at grandma’s house. Just before Jami turned 30, she and her husband, Matt, decided that they wanted to go into business themselves and open a bakery. By raising money from family and taking out a home equity loan, Jami and Matt gathered...

...(Narrative Essay) JUDY BRADY I Want a Wife (1971) Judy Brady’s essay became an instant classic when it appeared in 1971 in the premier issue of the feminist magazine Ms. As you read, analyze the definitions of “husband” and “wife” that Brady uses, and consider why this essay became so powerful in the 1970s. I belong to that classification of people known as wives. I am A Wife. And, not altogether incidentally, I am a mother. Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh from a recent divorce. He had one child, who is, of course, with his ex-wife. He is looking for another wife. As I thought about him while I was ironing one evening, it suddenly occurred to me that I, too, would like to have a wife. Why do I want a wife? I would like to go back to school so that I can become economically independent, support myself, and, if need be, support those dependent upon me. I want a wife who will work and send me to school. And while I am going to school I want a wife to take care of my children. I want a wife to keep track of the children’s doctor and dentist appointments. And to keep track of mine, too. I want a wife to make sure my children eat properly and are kept clean. I want a wife who will wash the children’s clothes and keep them mended. I want a wife who is a good nurturant attendant to my children, who arranges for their schooling, makes sure that they have an adequate social life with their peers, takes them to the park, the zoo, etc. I want a...

...making it very difficult to start a new bakery, especially in cities. An entrepreneur might consider buying an existing business or locating in a rural area. One of the fastest growing areas in the bakery business is the specialty franchise store, producing everything from donuts to complete product lines. For specific information on franchising, refer to Franchising PH guide. A bakery is one of the few businesses where manufacturing and retailing are performed by the same people. You have to be an exceptional baker and business person producing and selling distinctive goods. Get experience in both areas before starting, including areas such as management and accounting. If you buy an existing bakery, carefully evaluate the opportunity. Study the reasons for selling and assess potential profits, sales, expenses, assets and liabilities. Consult with an expert about the condition of the bakery equipment. Ask a lawyer to review any agreement. If you start a new bakery, do the same kind of careful assessments and consult with an accountant and a lawyer. Refer to the Service Business Plan book. Expect early mornings, long days and hard physical work. Sales fluctuate during the year and you will be busiest during special days and holidays. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the online report, “Food Manufacturing”, bakery businesses, together with tortilla manufacturing companies, employed about 18 percent of food manufacturing industry employees in 2008. Also, according...
