The parties made an agreement which stated the reason for Dayan must maintaining QSC standards was that a “departure of restaurants anywhere in the world from these standards impedes the successful operation of restaurants throughout the world, and injures the value of [McDonald’s] patents, trademarks, trade name, and property.” Dayan promised he would not in violation of the standards unless he got prior written permission from McDonald’s. But McDonald’s found Dayan violated these standards for several years, so it wanted to terminate the franchise. Then Dayan filed a lawsuit to enjoin the termination. Identifying the client’s problem： McDonald’s rendered Dayan an exclusive franchise, and required Dayan comply with QSC standards; Dayan agreed. McDonald’s found Dayan in violation of these regulations, and sought to terminate the franchise; Dayan filed a lawsuit, wanted to enjoin the termination and one of the justifications was that McDonald’s was obligated to provide him with the operational assistance necessary to enable him to meet the QSC standards, but it did not. What things McDonald’s should do in order to avoid such kind of cases.

...Applied Modeling with Military Operations (non-war) Modeling or model is a simplified representation of a situation or problem and modeling is the process of building, refining, and analyzing that representation for greater insight and improved decision making. Modeling is also a mathematical or logical depiction of a system’s behavior. Simulation, is otherwise the device that implements the model. In many military operations, simulation is distinguished among three classes (rough). Live simulations, this involves real people using real equipment in the physical world (real world), like large field exercises. Virtual simulation, involves real people using simulators, flight simulators and/or actual information systems, this often provides realistic acts. Lastly, constructive simulations, this involves simulated people and systems operating in the simulated world, as in things like simulated combat, here users set the initial conditions and run the simulation to see what happens. Simulations are developed from the thoughts of human designers. All simulations are tested to assure accuracy and effectiveness, to illuminate specific issues or problems. The process that covers these mistakes and issues is associated with verification, validation and accreditation. These three sources are applied to a simulation development cycle that operated by the real world system, and is replicated and identified and the conceptual model of it is then identified. This conceptual model is...

...semaphore is a protected variable whose value can be accessed and altered only by the operations P and V and initialization operation called 'Semaphoiinitislize'. Binary Semaphores can assume only the value 0 or the value 1 counting semaphores also called general semaphores can assume only nonnegative values. The P (or wait or sleep or down) operation on semaphores S, written as P(S) or wait (S), operates as follows: P(S): IF S > 0 THEN S := S - 1 ELSE (wait on S) The V (or signal or wakeup or up) operation on semaphore S, written as V(S) or signal (S), operates as follows: V(S): IF (one or more process are waiting on S) THEN (let one of these processes proceed) ELSE S := S +1 Operations P and V are done as single, indivisible, atomic action. It is guaranteed that once a semaphore operations has stared, no other process can access the semaphore until operation has completed. Mutual exclusion on the semaphore, S, is enforced within P(S) and V(S). If several processes attempt a P(S) simultaneously, only process will be allowed to proceed. The other processes will be kept waiting, but the implementation of P and V guarantees that processes will not suffer indefinite postponement. Semaphores solve the lost-wakeup problem. Producer-Consumer Problem Using Semaphores The Solution to producer-consumer problem uses three semaphores, namely, full, empty and mutex. The semaphore 'full' is...

...Question 1. Production processing is an important component of operations management and it involves all the processes that characterize the transformation of a particular range set of inputs in order to produce the desired outputs. At Stickley Furniture, the primary mode of operation is continuous production. Also referred to as flow production, continuous production mainly entails the approach of processing or manufacturing the various parts in order to come up with the final product on a continuous basis. There are several major reasons as to why continuous production is evident at Stickley Furniture: * Firstly, the company assesses the nature and/or quality of timber prior to feeding it into the saw. The process of assessing the quality of timber at Stickley Furniture is achieved in two main ways: manually and also through the use of computers. Employees at the Stickley Furniture closely examine all the timber in order to ascertain the quality more so in terms of knots. * On the other hand, specially designed computer software is also used by the company to verify the quality of timber before feeding it into the saw for processing. This kind of approach goes a very long way towards ensuring that the quality of furniture produced at Stickley Furniture is excellent and meets the high expectations of clients. * The next step after sawing the timber is to produce the various types of furniture in line with the orders that have been placed by clients. All these...

...different. Michael Porter, view on 8th April 2014, (www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/michaelpor381643.html) In the long term, the major objective for operations and processes is to provide the business with some form of strategic advantage. This is why the management of business’s processes and operations and its intended overall strategy must be logically connected. Operations strategy can be defined as a pattern of decisions and actions that shapes the long- term vision, objectives and capabilities of the operation and its contribution to overall strategy. But strategies are not always easy to identify. This is because of their intangible nature and the length of time taken for them to be realized. Nevertheless operations strategies can be identified by what they should do. First it should provide a vision for the operation’s resources to contribute to the business as a whole. Secondly it should define the exact means of the operation’s performance objectives. Third it should identify the broad decisions that will help the operations achieve its objectives. The operations strategy must connect from top (Corporate level) and the bottom (experience learnt) of the business. Strategic operations must align market requirements with operations resources. Dell is a good example of market-resource alignment. Operations strategy must set a path for improvement which clearly indicating how the improvement is to take place. This is best addressed by the trade-off between performance...

...and manufacturer (Zara, p.1, pp.2). Their largest chain store is Zara, whose POS terminal and business operations were constructed to quickly respond to the changes in customers clothing preference (Zara, p.3, pp.3). The system of operation in use was effective when Zara was a small chain of stores. However, since Zara’s growth and the changes made to the clothing industry, the current operations are no longer effective. The key problems to Zara’s operations are the outdated IT systems, the lack of control that management has over executive decisions and lack of management integration in the IT division of Zara. These problems can hinder the growth of Zara and can prevent it’s expansion, if the technology used by their suppliers/vendors changes or the employees who are the most knowledgeable in the IT department leaves the company. Zara is dependent on the operations of it’s information systems to function on a daily basis and if the system shuts down, Zara would cease operation. The main problem at Zara is the lack of control management has over executive decisions. Each operating unit does not have control over its sector and senior management is taking a hands off approach from the involvement of the company. For example, Bruno Sanchez Ocampo (the lead IT tech) does not want to improve the POS system because he is knowledgeable in its current operations and it works in his opinion (Zara, p.2, pp.2). However, the managers at the retail level do not have an...

...Model answers to questions on IKEA case study – Pages 3-4 in the book How is the IKEA operations design different from that of most furniture retail operations? Although some furniture retailers do have large ‘out of town’ operations, many use premises within town or shopping malls. IKEA’s operations are very large and purpose-built. They feature very large car parks and are located close to major motorway intersections. In fact, everything about the design of IKEA’s operations encourages high volume of throughput. This high volume means that many of the fixed costs of running the IKEA operation such as local taxes, administrative costs and some energy costs are spread over a high volume of individual sales transactions. This reduces the overall cost of making a sale, a part of IKEA's strategy of offering good value for money. The variety of products sold in IKEA stores is relatively large compared with many furniture retail operations. For example, it includes small items such as glassware and kitchenware as well as very large items such as sofas, tables and shelving systems. Modular design of some products such as shelving systems allows variety to be extended even further from a few basic component parts. These components can be assembled together (by the customers) in different ways to offer an almost infinite variety of combinations. However, as far as the variety of service is concerned, it is relatively narrow. Most products are sold in cartons, customers are left...
