...BoldFlash: Cross-Functional Challenges Case Study Introduction BoldFlash is a producer of flash memory components for electronic devices, who has fallen behind competitors on several fronts due to missed opportunities with developing a critical market in storage devices for tablets. With a recent change in leadership due to the unexpected death of prior Vice President/ General Manager (Jim Harrison), the company is now under the watchful eye of Dr. Roger Cahill (also known as King of the Hill). In an industry with rapidly growing revenues and demand, in a sector that was highly competitive, BoldFlash still has the significant competitive advantage of operating its own plants. After a few months on the job, Cahill was able to deduct what he saw as the problem in the Mobile Division as unproductive conflicts between the functional departments, particularly around the product development processes. It is clear that manufacturing is the dominant function of the organization and with its competitive nature, seems to be pulling its weight. Due to the unclear roles of departments, isolation of departments, as well as the conflicting roles of departments, manufacturing is suffering. Conflicting Performance Metrics In many ways conflicting performance metrics of each group are contributing to the problem. Currently the performance metrics of each department are left either unclear or overlapping between groups. The conflicting performance metrics are causing opportunities to be...

...the information quickly when you can’t remember when the email was sent or who sent it. Since reading this chapter, I have started to save specific email information as word documents grouped under different folders. This has proven to be effective for linking related topics in the respective folders which makes locating the information quicker. In my academic life, I will first note the topic to be studied and pay greater attention to the learning objectives. This would then make it easier to skim through the chapter and specifically note the more important material and review that first as well as to research any related topics by using other resources. The chapter also noted the importance of paying attention to any information in bold type and any illustrations. This strategy would greatly increase my knowledge of the topic and improve note-taking. It would also assist in remembering the useful information. Therefore, this would be effective for review and preparation for exams as well as being in an overall position to utilize and apply the new information whenever possible. 2. The ‘Write it down’ strategy The chapter noted that writing a note helps you to...

...confusingly all used the title Duke of Bavaria. Isabeau's uncle, Duke Frederick of Bavaria-Landshut, suggested in 1383 that she be considered as a bride to King Charles VI of France. The match was proposed again at the lavish Burgundian double wedding in Cambrai in April 1385—John the Fearless and his sister Margaret of Burgundy married Margaret and William of Bavaria-Straubing respectively. Charles, then 17, rode in the tourneys at the wedding. He was an attractive, physically fit young man, who enjoyed jousting and hunting and was excited to be married.[3] Miniature showing King Charles VI at the hunt. Queen Isabeau and her retinue are shown riding palfreys. From Enguerrand de Monstrelet's Chronique. Charles VI's uncle, Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, thought the proposed marriage ideal to build an alliance with the Holy Roman Empire and against the English.[4] Isabeau's father agreed reluctantly and sent her to France with his brother, her uncle, on the pretext of taking a pilgrimage to Amiens.[2] He was adamant that she was not to know she was being sent to France to be examined as a prospective bride for Charles,[4] and refused permission for her to be examined in the nude, customary at the time.[1] According to the contemporary chronicler Jean Froissart, Isabeau was 13 or 14 when the match was proposed and about...

...CMIS 102 Hands-On Lab // Week2 Overview: This hands-on lab allows you to follow and experiment with the critical steps of developing a program including the program description, analysis, test plan, design, and implementation with C code. Program Description: This program will sum two integer numbers to yield a third integer number. It will also divide two float numbers to yield a third float number. Once the calculations are made the results of all the numbers will be printed to the output screen. Analysis: We will use sequential programming statements. We will define 3 integer numbers: a,b,c. c will store the sum of a and b. We will define 3 float numbers: f,g,h. h will store the quotient of f and g. Test Plan: To understand this program the following input numbers could be used for testing: a = 10 b = 20 c = a + b = 10 + 20 = 30 f = 75.0 g = 3.0 h = f/g = 75.0/3.0 = 25.0 Design using Pseudocode: // This program will sum two integer numbers to yield a third integer number. // It will also divide two float numbers to yield a third float number. // Declare variables Declare a,b,c as Integer Declare f as Float // Set values of Integers Set a=10 Set b=20 Set c=a+b // Print c Print a,b,c Set f=75.0 Set g=3.0 Set h=f+g // Print h print f,g,h C Code The following is the C Code that will compile in execute in the online compilers. // C code // This program will sum two integer numbers to yield a third integer number. // It will also...

...designed to hold the cloth flash cards which act as stuffing like in a pillow. It also comes with a carrying bag and it can be rolled up and stored in the bag. When this bag is unzipped, it folds out completely to form a blanket. The lining of the bag comes in a variety of color and is made of a soft cloth that is comfortable enough for sleeping and napping. The outside of the bag has ten, one-foot by one-foot squares stitched into it with the numbers zero through nine stitched into each square. The numbers are stitched into each individual square in a variety of bright colors. The numbers also have different textures such as velvet or vinyl. The flash cards are six-inch by six-inch. The flash cards are made of the same material as the blanket and have basic addition and subtraction problems stitched into them on one side and the solution stitched on the other side with the solution equal to a number between zero and nine. The problems on the flash cards are stitched using the same colors and textures that are used on the blanket. For example, 4 + 5, if the 4 on the blanket is blue vinyl, then the 4 on the flash card will be same and the 5 will also be the same color and texture as the 5 on the blanket. The solution to 4+5 is 9, so the 9 is stitched on the back of the flash card and will be the same color and texture as the 9 on the blanket. When this bag is unzipped and laid on the floor it becomes a large blanket. The child takes the flash cards out of the smaller bag/pillow...

One suggestion for individuals who travel would be the ability to point their phone at a recognizable land mark and be able to see the history of that location. The Flash Crash The conditions prior to the flash crash can be described as down and continually trending downward. There were also issues with Greece and the potential that this country would default. Some of the benefits of electronic trading include speed, reduced costs, and more liquid markets. The systems have the capability of processing large amounts of data in short periods of time and the ability to adjust strategies on the spur of the moment. In the case of the flash crash that occurred in May of 2010, the computer algorithm was not sufficient to handle the severity and complexity of the situation at hand. The question whether or not the crash could have been prevented is debatable. Several safeguards have been put into place in an attempt to prevent a repeat of the flash crash. These safeguards include standardizing circuit breakers in all financial markets, limiting high...

...The Flash APA 6Th Edition Juan Carlos Garcia South Texas College "My name is Barry Allen, and I am the fastest man alive” Like most comic book characters we often get different versions to a character’s past, and story lines. I’ll be talking from the current TV show The Flash from The CW Network. The First episode aired: October 7, 2014 and right now season 2 is going on and episode 18 will be airing April 19th. The title of this episode is “Versus Zoom” This is Barry Allen and he is known for working really slow and arriving late anywhere he goes. He is a scientist in the Criminal and Forensic Science Division of the Central Police Department. He lives with his boss and adoptive father Joe West and Joe’s daughter Iris West, she happens to be the love of his life. Barry’s mother was killed by a yellow streak when he was just a little kid and his dad (Henry Allen) went to jail for the murder of his wife (Nora Allen) which he did not commit. Barry is determined to solve this case and free his dad by becoming a forensic investigator. One day while Barry was working at his office he was struck by a lightning bolt, that was produced by S.T.A.R. labs, when the particle accelerator exploded and created a giant thundercloud. When waking up from a coma after nine months, he discovers that he can run really really fast and had developed other super abilities. Shortly after this he starts acting like a vigilante and super hero known as the “Red Streak” or “The Streak” but soon...

Sadly, it is not possible for me to take the time to personally answer all of the one-to-one lighting questions that pop up. So try to resist asking them in the comments section. The only people reading this behind you are the people who are, well, behind you. You will find the one-to-one knowledge bank you seek in the Strobist Group on Flickr. There, you can ask away and get the diversity of response that you need. These are the lighting grad students, so to speak. They know this stuff, and are very enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge. Most of all, remember to have fun and learn to make some cool light.

...My Prediction for Season 2 flash story line includes Futures end influences and a Wally West Flash! Here is how I have come to that conclusion and then some. In Tuesday night's episode of The Flash during the body snatcher scene Eobard says to Harrison; "In the year twenty twenty (five years from now) you and your wife Tes Morgan successfully launch a particle accelerator that changes the course of history". Eobard accelerated that timeline, to the year 2015 (technically 2014, and they should have had the line read 2019). Five years from now, the DC Comic Universe plot line for Futures End is as follows: "Reeling from a war with Another Earth, leaving the world unprepared for an approaching evil that threatens to destroy the future can a time traveling Batman (beyond)." Now simply begin to replace batman with "Can a time-traveling Barry Allen, help a massive cast of the DCU’s finest avert the impending apocalypse caused by the changes to the timeline Eobard Thawn the Reverse Flash set in motion after the eventual survival of Barry's mother? That means season two should be getting heavy doses of influence from the Futures End storyline. For the new as-yet-unnamed show, they are casting characters like HawkGirl, so this gives some credibility to a "massive cast" I digress, now since Harrison wells and Tess Morgan will be the cause of the S.T.A.R. labs explosion in 2020, we should see some new superheroes from older cast members, like Cisco becoming Vibe and Mrs. Katlin snow becoming...

...¬¬¬Production of the Connecting Rod Drop Forged Connecting Rods Connecting rods are most commonly drop forged, firstly a blank steel bar with a rectangular or round cross section, it is heated to around 1300°C and is rolled to redistribute the masses to the larger and smaller ends. The most important part of the process takes place in a hammer unit, the steel rod is placed in a die and after a few consecutive blows of a hammer the steel bar is forced into the shape of the die, giving the connecting rod its shape. Drop forging produces flash around the edges of the connecting rod which is removed, the larger hole and sometimes the smaller hole (in larger connecting rods) are also simultaneously punched in this process. After the flash is removed the connecting rod is heat treated and then machined, the final stage of the process is the separation of the cap from the rod (unless the cap and the rod have been forged separately), this is usually done by sawing but an alternative is to use splitting. Alternative methods of production A newer technology called Sintering is becoming more popular to produce control rods; it begins with the sevrohydraulic pressing of powdered metal in its final alloy, to create a powdered preform of the control rod. Next the preform is heated to around 1120°C in an electrically heated furnace for around 15 minutes, the finished piece is now ready. The reason this technology has not taken the place of the drop forging process is because...

...time. This is no to say that the new versions are bad, but sometimes there really doesn’t need to be any changes. If it’s not broke, don’t fix it. Also, another issue I sometimes notice which may lead to problems is that now there are so many options. I understand sometimes there is a need to have graphic designs or special fonts, but wouldn’t you want to use a special program for that? I feel sometimes less is best and it keeps things simple and less room for error.
