Decision 1 Day | Parameter | Value | 54 | station 1 machine count | 2 | When the exercise started, we decided that when the lead time hit 1 day, we would buy one station 1 machine based on our analysis that station 1 takes the longest time which is 0.221 hrs simulation time per batch. (Exhibit 2: Average time per batch of each station). As day 7 and day 8 have 0 job arrivals, we used day 1-6 figures to calculate the average time for each station to process 1 batch of job arrivals. Base on the average time taken to process 1 batch of job arrivals, we were able to figure out how many batches each machine can handle. day | number of jobs arriving each day | utilization of station 1, averaged over each day | utilization of station 2, averaged over each day | utilization of station 3, averaged over each day | 1 | 2 | 0.433 | 0.079 | 0.019 | 2 | 2 | 0.272 | 0.158 | 0.108 | 3 | 1 | 0.398 | 0.106 | 0.165 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0.052 | 0 | 5 | 2 | 0.33 | 0.079 | 0.06 | ...

...Kristen’s cookie company pre-case report DSC335 1. Draw a flow chart of the cookie-making process 2. How long will it take to fill a rush order of 1-dozen cookie? It will take 26 minutes to fill a rush order of 1-dozen cookie. (I revise my chart to 4 cycle orders) 3. What is the cycle time? How many orders can you fill in a night (4-hour period)? Does your answer depend on the size of the order, 1-dozen, 2-dozen, or 3-dozen? 1-dozen orders: The cycle time is 10 minutes. The first order of 1-dozen cookies will take 26 minutes, and each 10 minutes for another 1-dozen cookie order. (4*60-26)/10=21.4 plus the first order, we can make 22 orders of 1-dozen cookie fill in a night. 2-dozen orders: The cycle time is 20 minutes. The first order of 2-dozen cookies will take 36 minutes, and each 20 minutes for another 2-dozen cookie order. (4*60-36)/20=10.2 and plus the first order, we can make 11 orders of 2-dozen cookie fill in a night. 3-dozen orders: The cycle time is 30 minutes. The first order of 3-dozen cookies will take 46 minutes, and each 30 minutes for another 3-dozen cookie order. (4*60-46)/30=6.47 and plus the first order, we can make 7 orders of 3-dozen cookie fill in a night. 4.

...Trey Brickhouse Prof.Brophy Eng 201 3/3/14 Reading Log 1: Look up a word-Dating Down There wasn’t really a word I didn’t recognize but I have never heard the term “Dating Down” before in the term it is used as in here. I feel like I may have heard it before but in this point in time I cannot recall a moment in which I heard it. Whenever I heard “dating down” it was usually about someone dating someone who was younger than them, but in the book Meg says “[Cathy] never chose her boyfriends or sex partners; she let them choose her.” (Jay 101). Hearing this I take dating down to mean you’re just going for anyone that comes to you and accepting it. The phrase really does put things in perspective; you’re basically dating less than what you can really get to feel some sort of love; which I guess is dating down from what you deserve. “Her mother said she needed a different outfit or better body, her father told her she was too much, too loud- too something.”(Jay 100) This boost the title “dating down” because her parents are literally putting her down which is causing the way she is going about dating in the first place; not much relevance but just stood me out that, a girl who is being put down let it define who she is dating. This whole chapter kind of lived up to its name; circled around this 8girl’s struggle to fit in and how Jay too that and helped her “take charge of her love life” (Jay 111) and help her revise her own story. I thought it was interesting how Cathy used...

...would just bleed and bleed without warning and take a long time to stop. They all jumped at Cristie, telling her she needed to tell her doctor about it, cleaning her up, and telling her different ways to take care of it. They all cared so much even though they just met the girl maybe a few hours beforehand The Bailey’s especially care for children, mostly Tarissa’s nephews, Owen, Liam, Hunter and little Cooper. All four of those boys are at the Bailey’s house a majority of the time. Especially Hunter and Cooper. Yet, what no one really knows is that they do not have the best mother. Hunter is two and Cooper, if I remember right, is almost one or just turned one. What usual kids know at the age of two, Hunter is completely clueless. For the longest time he would not play, he knows how to talk, but he just will not do it. He is not potty trained and he just sits around in total silence. There are days where those boys are just really irritating, just like usual children can be sometimes, and it can get frustrating when Hunter knows what to do and how to communicate, and he just will not do it. Yet, even through all the irritation and frustration they all still continue to try. Every day they work with him trying their hardest to get him potty trained, to get him to say more than two words, and not just baby talk all the time. They try and try even though most their efforts go down the drain when he goes back to his mother. Yet, they care enough for a child that is not theirs and teach...

...2) Analyze and assess the operations system of Manzana (system for processing insurance requests as depicted in Exhibit 2) by taking the following questions as a lead: a) How do the various jobs (RUN, RERUN, RAIN, RAP) flow through the system? How much time do they take? The figure below shows the flow through the system of the various jobs (RUN, RERUN, RAIN and RAP) taken exhibit 2 into account. The red numbers in the figure show the daily processed requests on average based on the data of 1991 which can be found in exhibit 7. The daily requests that are coming into the system are calculated by adding all various jobs (RUN’s, RERUN’s, RAIN’s and RAP’s) processed in the first 6 months and dividing this outcome by 120 (E.g. 6 months x 4 weeks x 5 days). This means that the teams can process 39 requests on average per day. (350+1798+451+2081)/(6*4*5) = 4680 / 120 = 39 requests per day on average. All further calculations can be found in the table below. |Task |Calculation in # of requests per day |Outcome in # of requests per day | |Calculate generated RERUN |(2081)/(6*4*5) |17.3 | |RUN/RAP/RAIN |(350+1798+451)/(6*4*5) |21.7 | |Total # requests per day |(350+1798+451+2081)/(6*4*5) |39 ...

...April Horrocks EN2010 November 10th, 2014 Angels September 5th, 2011. I still remember it like it was yesterday. The weather was calm; it wasn’t hot, and it wasn’t cold. The wind wasn’t even blowing. Yet, somehow, it was still very yucky out. I didn’t realize this at the time, but it was the perfect weather for death. My phone rang at 5:14 AM, and it was a number I did not recognize so suddenly out of my sleep. I decided to ignore the call. Then seconds later, my phone rang again. This time I picked up, not knowing the moment I answered my life would be forever changed. At first I could not recognize the person on the other end of the line, because of all the pain and crying in her voice, but shortly I realized the person on the other end was the mother of my best friend. Burton Thomas Brown, also known as BT, was found dead on his parent’s couch. He overdosed on what we now know to be Xanax and painkillers. His heart just stopped. The instant I heard those words come out of his mother’s mouth, I think my heart stopped as well. I felt it shatter into five million tiny pieces, build itself back up, and shatter again five million more times. “Why would God, my God, allow for such a horrific thing to happen to such a beautiful person?” is the question that kept running through my confused mind. “Why BT?” I thought to myself, “Why now?” In the days that followed, I experienced a pain I had never knew existed. In comparison to child birth, it was much, much worse. This...

...My entire life, I’ve never been a fan of writing. In fact I still am not. I’ve loathed all my English classes. In school I’m asked to read an excerpt and write a fifteen hundred-word commentary on what the author feels. And I’d sit there for those two hours blank. I’d re-read the excerpt a countless number of times but I still wont seem to hack it. I never felt what the author’s trying to portray. I spent days and nights questioning my integrity, thinking there’s something severely wrong with me. Considering I’m the most verbose student in my class but when it comes to writing, I step back into this void. Words just can’t seem to express what I feel. Rather, words can’t express what I don’t feel. However, what never stops to amuse me is the fact that English for the past two years has been a subject I truly cherish. Stepping away from the daily grind of what my high school has to offer, my English class is like a gateway to “salvation”. Just simply reading a book doesn’t do the trick; it’s the analytical part that intrigues me. For example, before I begin reading a book, or poetry I research on the background of the writer. The time period they were writing their work, what situation politically and personally we’re they in. And once all this information is acquired, I begin my quest. I gauge reading as a puzzle. The words in a book are my pieces, and once put together I have a masterpiece of a story entailing not only a contemporary period, but also at a sublime level of what...

...Most people who bother with the matter at all would admit that the English language is in a bad way, but it is generally assumed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it. Our civilization is decadent and our language — so the argument runs — must inevitably share in the general collapse. It follows that any struggle against the abuse of language is a sentimental archaism, like preferring candles to electric light or hansom cabs to aeroplanes. Underneath this lies the half-conscious belief that language is a natural growth and not an instrument which we shape for our own purposes. Now, it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have political and economic causes: it is not due simply to the bad influence of this or that individual writer. But an effect can become a cause, reinforcing the original cause and producing the same effect in an intensified form, and so on indefinitely. A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. The point is that the process is reversible. Modern English, especially written English, is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can be avoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble. If one gets rid of these...
