...By having multiple productions plants globally, it is able to create flexibility and backup options should one of their plants fail to deliver when there is natural disasters or uncertainty within the country. During the Thailand floods, its production was greatly affected as its plants were shut down and unable to operate due to the damage caused by the flood. (Thailand was responsible for the production of 891,000 forecasted vehicles, one of the biggest in SEA). Due to the crippling of its plants in Thailand, Toyota has to scale back its productions in the rest of SEA due to issues faced while exporting certain parts from Thailand. The car maker estimates the disruption in the parts supply chain has affected about 100 kinds of parts. The overall output loss caused by the floods amounted to an estimate of 37,500 vehicles. ISSUES FACED: Toyota has to be prepared for unforeseeable circumstances such as natural disasters. As shown, during the Thailand floods in 2011, its production was scaled back by 37,500 vehicles. Backup supplies from its other branches around the world creating the same vehicle parts could be supplied to SEA during this period to alleviate the burden faced by the plants in Thailand. OPINION: Safety is one of Toyota’s key concerns and also selling point. This must be ensured from the various parts that make the car, from the start to the end. It is understandable that Toyota decided to specialize each plant so that they can be focused on what they produce...

...EXPERIMENTATION) FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY AKURE, ONDO STATE, NIGERIA JULY, 201S QUESTIONS 1. WHICH ONE DO YOU PREFER BETWEEN OPEN ENDED QUESTION AND CLOSE ENDED QUESTION. 2. THINK OF A RESEARCH TOPIC IN YOUR DISCIPLINE AND WRITE OUT FOUR OBJECTIVES THAT YOU MAYNOT FULFIL IN THAT RESEARCH. 3. DRAW A QUESTIONNAIRE OF JUST TWO PAGES THAT YOU WILL USE TO COLLECT DATA IN CARRYING OUT A RESEARCH. (1) I prefer open ended question because it is exploratory in nature. As discussed with “how do you get to work” question. It allows for the respondent to provide any answer they choose without forcing them to select from concrete options. Questions that are open-ended provide rich qualitative data. In essence, they provide the researcher with an opportunity to gain insight on all the opinions on a topic they are not familiar with. However, being qualitative in nature makes these types of questions lack the statistical significance needed for conclusive research. Nevertheless, open-ended question are incredibly useful in several different ways: * Expert interview * Small population studies * Preliminary research * A respondent outlet There are a few drawbacks to open-ended questions. Though respondent answers are almost always richer in quality, the amount of effort it takes to digest the information provided can sometimes be overwhelming. That is why open-ended questions work best in studies with smaller populations. Furthermore, if your survey sample is a fraction...

...defects with probability 0.98. The similar probability for line 2 is 0.99. Each line produces 500 watches per hour. The production manager has asked you to answer the following questions. 1. She wants to know how many defect-free watches each line is likely to produce in a given hour. Specifically, find the smallest integer k (for each line separately) such that you can be 99% sure that the line will not produce more than k defective watches in a given hour. (Hint: Use CRITBINOM(*,*,*) function in Excel.) 2. EuroWatch currently has an order for 500 watches from an important customer. The company plans to fill this order by packing slightly more than 500 watches, all from line 2, and sending this package off to the customer. Obviously, Euro Watch wants to send as few watches as possible, but it wants to be 99% sure that when the customer opens the package, there are at least 500 defect-free watches. How many watches should be packed? 3. EuroWatch has another order for 1000 watches. Now it plans to fill this order by packing slightly more than one hour's production from each line. This package will contain the same number of watches from each line. As in the previous question, Euro Watch wants to send as few watches as possible, but it again wants to be 99% sure that when the customer opens the package, there are at least 1000 defect-free watches. The question of how many watches to pack is unfortunately quite difficult because the total number of defect-free...

...reporting. This article has limited relevance on the the BABC001 Report Question only about the definition and purpose of integrated reporting. However, this article is reliable because this article uses academic language and uses the evidence from IIRC(International Integrated Reporting Council). In addition, this article is wrote in 2014 and still has useful information now. Therefore, this article is reliable and can be used as an academic resource. This article has limited relevance about the BABC001 Report Question. The definition of IR and the purpose of IR, which is to enhance accountability and stewardship and to make sustainable value creation for stakeholders(Busco, 2014, p.32) are the answer to BABC001 Report 1a and 1b.

...Reading many of the stories from the oral history project, there seemed to be many similarities and differences. One of the similarities that some had in common was the way that these narrators where raised in their childhood, yet different environments they grew up in. The upbringing of all these narrators has had a profound impact in the way they create art that has helped them create a path to their own success and work. To further expand other themes in common that come across the selected narrators include; opportunities in Chicago, theatre, artistic and academic freedom/expression. This paper will focus on two of the four questions, “How has your sense of self influenced your cultural work/production” and “What brought you to Chicago and what keeps you here?” When asked the first question “How has your sense of self influenced your cultural work /production” many of the narrators started by talking about their childhood and how those experiences were key to the development of their cultural work along with theatre. This is also a reason I selected these narrators as I saw that it was unique compared to the rest of the narrators. These four individual began to talk about...
