(HEI), sat quietly at the conference table overlooking the lobby of the corporate headquarters office in Palo Alto, California.

...This case study is about Dr. Barr who is a veterinarian and opens her own clinic. She like most first time owners is having problems managing, organizing, controlling inventory, and staffing employees. She just needs to take some time and find out the main goal that she set out to accomplish in the first place. The operation management problem that Dr. Barr is currently facing is planning, organizing, and controlling. Planning consist of knowing when to stay open late and when to close the clinic early. Organizing, the current system that she has in place is not adapting to current setting of the clinic for example the overflow on Friday evenings. The Schedule isn’t working for Dr. Barr because demand for her service offered is greater on Fridays than Wednesday. She should switch the days the clinic is open late due to the demand for her services on Friday. Inventory problems always occur when more than one person is doing inventory because mix numbers come out, more than what is needed is ordered and therefore ending up with an excess of that product. The office assistant should be in charge of ordering inventory and it should be taken at least once a week which then, eliminates running out of things and having too much of other stuff and wasting products. Dr. Barr should have switched the schedule around when she noticed the demand for her services were greater on Friday than Wednesdays. Had one person in charge of inventory and schedule both veterinarians on...

...Doctor Shortage Impacts Rural Areas Jean Larsen Senior Project Kristi Hund March 1, 2011 Abstract The United States is experiencing a substantial shortage of physicians, which is creating a severe supply and demand problem in America. Citizens living in rural areas should receive the same quality of care as those living in urban settings. Substantial differences exist in quality and access to health care for persons living in rural America. The shortage of physicians in rural America calls for immediate attention and change, as the inadequate supply of physicians is affecting the quality of patient care. The life expectancy of persons living in rural America is actually declining due to treatable conditions such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. These illnesses could be managed with proper medical treatment. This paper addresses these issues and recommends two solutions. Healthcare is in crisis in many countries, not least of which is the United States. We hear on the news how health care providers are unable to provide medical care to an increasing number of chronically ill and the aging population. There are a number of systemic failures, none is more difficult to correct than the basic lack of human resources. There are simply not enough physicians to service the needs of the population. The problem is intensified in rural areas, where specialized physicians may not be found within several hundred miles. The healthcare...

... As our textbook states on page 346, the National Labor Relations Act also known as Wagner Act requires employers to bargain in good faith over mandatory bargaining issues like working conditions, hours, wages, term and conditions of employment. Labor laws are authorized by the government to allow employees to not only join, but also to organize and/or create if they decide so. West University’s study shows that the Graduate Employee Organization (GEO) is affiliated with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union, and used it as the collective bargaining representative. Although the employees are in its majority unionized, the non-union employees are not required to join in because Arizona is one of the right-to-work states.my believe is that a union is as strong as the rights it fights for and the strength it utilizes to achieve its goals. Employers can decide to ignore the petitions of the unionists. 2. I do believe that teaching assistants should be considered employees, following the definition which is a person who assists teachers with instructions and responsibilities. In the case...

...thrust has been to design programs of action aimed at the Negro community. Largely ignored has been the plight of the Mexican- American community, the second largest minority group in the United States. This paper is based on a study of the characteristics and practices of low-income Mexican-American consumers in East Los Angeles and of the retail enterprises serving that community. While the challenges facing business in meeting the demands of the Mexican-American population are great, outstanding opportunities exist for improving the distribution of goods and services to this important segment of the market. During the 1960's, the American business community generally has shown a growing awareness of the problems of poverty, minority group estrangement, and civil disorder. Business firms have become involved in programs to train and hire unemployed Negroes in urban slums. The Negro ghettos have also been the target for business- and/or government-sponsored attacks on slum housing, inadequate medical facilities, outdated educational plants and methods, meager recreation facilities, and a host of other problems. The riots in cities throughout the nation were clearly a major stimulus for these action programs. During 1966 and 1967, an extensive study was conducted in East Los Angeles. Nearly 1,300 questionnaires and observation forms were completed in an effort to answer three basic questions: 1 / What are the characteristics of low-income Mexican- American consumers? 2 /...
