...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of study The primary function of any highway is the transportation of people and goods from its source across to its intended destination. The functional effectiveness of any facility as such should be to ensure it serves its designed capacity with the most of convenience and safety for the users and vehicles plying it. This would help improve the level of service of facility and overall see to it that the socio-economic importance of it is realised. Traffic engineering analysis has to be employed to study the characteristic traffic flow conditions of the highway. The speed, density and flow are the basic traffic stream variables that need to be studied together with their relationship with one another in the traffic stream. These variables are very much linked and their relationship would provide an indication of the level of usage and efficiency of a roadway system and provide transportation planners the basic data in the evaluation of the effectiveness of capacity improvement measures. Information on highway traffic conditions is usually collected by organising and conducting traffic surveys and studies. Traffic studies may be grouped into three main categories as inventories, administrative studies, and dynamic studies. Of these three the dynamic traffic studies involve the collection of data under operational conditions and include studies of speed, traffic volume, travel time and delay, parking and accidents. This study is made...

(1.1, 1.2) Introduction In writing this assignment report, I will attempt to look into the different sources of finance that business can access or that available for starting a new business and I will also find out the implications of sources of finance and how it impacts on the business. It is often difficult to start a business without enough capital or cash, as all businesses require some form of finance throughout the life span of the business and for the operational cost of the day to day running of the business. Therefore without finance or raising enough capital the business can never materialised. It can therefore be argued that Finance is the life wire of a business as it plays a major role in starting a business. Finance can be used for various business projects including purchase of machinery, starting up a restaurant or for expanding existing business. When considering starting a business before raising the finance certain factors such as the size of the business, location of the business, the type of business and the target...

...is high, they tend to leave and go to schools that aren’t as troubled (629). Part 1: Group Development The organization has five stages of group development. In the forming stage they have identified that there is a problem, now the plan is how to drive results. The first stage is bringing the plan forward and forming an executive development team. The team will consist of an HR representative from Woodson, the schools, and the NCPIE. This team’s responsibility is developing an operating plan for improving school performance. It is expected that representatives from both teams participate. Once this stage is finalized they can move on to the storming stage. The storming stage will consist of conflicts. This is an aggressive way to get to know each other a little better. Once the team has gotten over differences they start the norming stage. In this stage they realized although they have differences they still share things in common. The cohesiveness is established and they began to work towards a goal .They all are interested in meeting the needs of students and like to increase student learning (630). They decide who are the best candidates based of their beliefs and experience. Once the candidates are chosen they can work closely on achieving results.

...Campbell ON265 Leonard Street Winfield, IL 60190 Jason_campbell13@sbcglobal.net 630-742-1191 Introduction The role of a Human Resource department in today’s world is ever changing. Many years ago your Human Resource department was there to file your pre-employment paperwork and assist with benefits and process payroll. This may have been handled by a department that consisted of one or two company accountants that took on this role in conjunction with watching the company books. Oh how this world has changed. According to Edward L. Gubin, observed in the “Journal of Business Strategy”, the role of a Human Resource department today includes many functions which include “to acquire, develop, and retain talent; align the workforce with the business; and be an excellent contributor to the business.” The HR department now works directly with management teams throughout the company in an effort to help with strategy and the growth of the company. One very important aspect is talent acquisition. Having the right people in key roles within the company is vital to the success and growth. Performing this function includes preparing a job description, recruiting, and then setting compensation. Then a crucial tool used by many HR departments is the process of job evaluations and performance reviews. Method of Job Analysis When a new job is created or a vacancy occurs, it is the role of an HR representative to fill that void. In order to perform this function they need to...

...This type of audit test relies on the particular structure of the system of wages and the evaluation controls of the auditor. Type of test procedures for each control objective are the following: * To make sure that the workers are paid only for the work they have done. The substantive procedure involves the selection of a random sample of workers from the payroll and the agreed hours of payment according to the time recorder that tracks the number of hours worked by an employ in an entity. * To make sure that only valid laborers receive wages. This is tested by attending the payout of salaries and a sample selection of workers' payroll and take the responsibility of the contracts of the individuals employment in the department of HR * To ensure authorization of all wages. Overtime forms review and authorized signatures are regarded as a test of control. Comparison of overtime costs every month with the year before, and investigation of significant differences is a substantive procedure * for ensuring that wages and salaries are paid at the correct payment rates (Veldhuizen, 2013). This involves a review of amendments of a log to the master file for independent study...

...World-Class Athletes Are Pre-Performance Enhanced When it comes to athletic performance, it's not how you start—it's how you Finnish By Steve Mirsky Image: Matt Collins The London Olympic Games and the Tour de France are on the horizon in Europe. Here in North America, the baseball season is under way, with football soon to follow. All of which means that around the world, in gleaming state-of-the-art facilities and dingy state-of-the-meth-lab basements, chemists are hard at work making molecules for athletes to swallow, snort, apply and inject into one another’s butts. Almost all sports fans decry the use of performance-enhancing drugs. It’s cheating. It gives the user attributes he or she did not rightfully earn. It just feels wrong to most fans. It feels wrong to me. But I have a question that almost inevitably leads to heated arguments—which leads me to suspect that we’re dealing with deep emotional issues as much as intellectual analysis. My question is: Why is it not questionable for a Boston Red Sox team doctor to have surgically and temporarily stabilized Curt Schilling’s peroneus brevis tendon by suturing it into deep connective tissue before Game 6 of the 2004 American League Championship Series against the New York Yankees? (The jerry-rigged nature of what is now called the “Schilling tendon procedure” begat the Beantown-blessed bloody sock.) Okay, the question is usually worded more like this: “Sure, steroids are cheating, but why was it legal for them to...

This kiln is an oven that turns "greenware" into finished pottery. Mabel is concerned that the new kiln requires extra labor hours for its operation. Mabel wants to check the energy savings of the new oven, and also to look over other measures of their productivity to see if the change really was beneficial.

In addition to its North American presence (both manufacturing and sales), Whirlpool also has a strong presence in Mexico, and Europe. Being the largest producer in the world has helped Whirlpool to compete on lower costs through economies of scale and through its Global Procurement Organization (GPO). In addition, its large networks also help in distribution, marketing, and ultimately in its sales. Another key factor how it competes is through its relationships with customers such as Sears. Our cost model was based on the “Principles of Cost Modeling” from the article Competitive Cost-Analysis: Cost-Driver Framework by Timothy Laseter, et al. Based on the article, we continuously pondered over not only the cost elements, but also the cost drivers, so as to get a better picture and to arrive at a more accurate analysis. To capture all the elements, we constructed our own template, so that we could customize it to Whirlpool, so as to capture as many cost drivers as possible.
