...Scheduling (when to do the job) is the process by which all resources needed for specific jobs are allocated, coordinated, and synchronized at the proper time and place, with necessary access, so that work can be executed with minimal delay and completed by the agreed upon date, within budget estimates. The schedule establishes when jobs will be done and what resources can best be applied to their performance. Resources include manpower, materials, tools and special equipment. Access refers to when the equipment will be prepared and accessible so that it can be worked on in safe (locked out/tagged out) condition, with necessary precautions taken, permits obtained, and any specialized documentation, drawings, or information in hand. Proper time relates to job start, duration of execution, and completion within the time frame agreed upon with the internal customer during the weekly coordination meeting. The Weekly Expectation Scheduling is the locus from which all maintenance activity is executed. Scheduling should be viewed as the “point” function and “marketing arm” of the system because it yields the earliest tangible results (often within weeks of start up). All individuals and groups perform better and accomplish more with clearly established, communicated and published expectations. When the maintenance function is managed without a weekly schedule, there are no specific expectations as to what is to be accomplished with the resources for which payroll checks will be...

...SCHEDULE CRASHING This project consisted in the implementation of software based on the needs of the recruiting force. The project was scheduled to be completed in two years, but due to a schedule crashing the project needs to completed nine months earlier. The estimated cost of the project was $278,000. The goal of this schedule crashing is to finish the project nine months earlier, but at the same time, we want to stay within the parameters in order to save money in resources. We will move personnel from a different area to train them in order for them to provide the required training on the implementation. At the end of the project due to the crashing schedule, we will like to provide the same training that it was scheduled at the beginning of the project. In addition, we would like to evaluate the knowledge of the recruiting station within the time scope. At the same time, we do not want to neglect the end state of the project. The following constraints will be taking into consideration: first, the budget available for the project. Second, time allowed for training new trainers. Third, having issues with connectivity and fourth, be able to finish the project within the time allowed by the schedule crashing. The new estimated budget due to the schedule crashing is $320,500 which is an increase of $42,500. As the project manager, I will have to make sure that I stay within the budget, but also be able to provide the training require in order for the system to...

...Subject scheduling is considered to be an integral part of an educational institution. Students and lecturers within one school term needed their schedules fixed accordingly for them to establish a good studying experience with each other. Also, subject scheduling plays a vital role in controlling the flow of timetable that the students will follow during a given term. It acts as a traffic enforcer so that students won’t have contradicting or opposing subject schedules and it help in maximizing the use of school facilities and rooms everyday while avoiding conflict of schedules. Many academic institutions are leveraging Automated or Integrated Scheduler System to manage their classroom schedules. Why? Because it is very easy to automatically schedule a class and locate the exact classroom you need based on class size with their preferred teachers, the equipment required or other needs. This integrated scheduler system allows the students to schedule a session with their preferred lecturer at their preferred time. The calendar of his preferred lecturer is available to the student showing his availability clearly. Student can schedule a session by a single click of the mouse. Currently, Informatics College Manila is still relying on a traditional scheduler system. The school’s subjects and schedules are being made and scheduled manually by an individual. The process is indeed a little laborious since it requires a lot of time, testing and revisions. Scheduling process can...

...Dear Jetcareers CFIs: I work at an FBO-style flight school. That is, while I'm not necessarily responsible for advertising my flight instruction services, management doesn't provide me with a pipeline of students and a regular schedule. We cater primarily to leisure flyers and professionals who want to fly themselves for business, though we do have a few "career" types. My question is that often my students will be gung-ho for a week, flying every day and keeping food in my mouth and then--poof--they disappear for a month or two. I try contacting them--to no avail--and, just as I'm ready to write them off, they've scheduled me for another full week of training. Obviously, this wreaks havoc on my schedule and personal budget. I'll be sitting on my hands for two weeks and then suddenly three students will reappear in one week and complain that my schedule is too full to fit them in. I had one student show up for the first time in five months the other day, take two lessons, and promptly return to the aether. And that doesn't even get into how inefficient the long layoffs make training... The other problem is managing my student load. The dozenish students I have, on paper, is more than I'd like to carry, yet I find myself sitting whole weeks with one or two flights scheduled. When a new student comes in the door, do I add them to my schedule or refer them to one of the newer instructors who don't even have students on paper? So, Jetcareers CFIs, how have you dealt with...

...Three problems or challenges I’m facing that is making it difficult to pursuing my education and career goals. First would be spending time with my children. I have found it difficult to spend the time with my children I feel is necessary. I have learning in the chapter 6 reading of “Building on your best for career success” that the first thing is, “Time management.” I have accomplished this by having a written schedule. I have scheduled time each day for my children. In the reading it states to schedule one hour a week for your children. I decided to schedule one hour a day for each of my two children. This has worked great and has made feel great about myself. Second I have been challenged with my daily chores around my home. In the reading of chapter 6, I learned that if there is “Anything you must do, that you can do in five minutes or less, do it now.” This has worked perfect for me. Just like the post-a-note I put on my wall, “Just Do It,” from Nike. I write down the chores that need to get done and the amount of time each chore should take. Most all the chores can be done in less than five minutes. So I just do them. At the end of the day I’m not overwhelmed by the amount of work that I need to do. I have also learned to delegate what I can. Tell my children to do some of the bigger chores around my home. Third would be time for my studies. I have also scheduled time to study my school work on a calendar. The same calendar I have for all my daily tasks. Leaving...

...Toronto’s Growing Metro System as a Cultural Landscape Toronto’s Growing Metro System as a Cultural Landscape The metro system in Toronto can be seen as a very important cultural landscape; public transit is an integral part of the city’s culture, as it reflects the growth in the city’s economy, population, and urbanization. The metro system is a public space that is temporarily occupied by different people, travelling to different places. It is a public space that is part of our daily routine, and is a part of the city’s cultural geography that contributes to its expansion and growth. The following six reports can be used as a learning basis for the topic of the public transit metro system in Toronto as a cultural landscape. “Reviewing and assessing the Toronto metro system” by Sybil Derrible and “Toronto: A historical leader in transportation innovations” by Ron Stewart and Joanna Musters are two research reports that analyze the facts of the Toronto metro system and can be used to see how rapidly the public transit in Toronto has grown, along with the city. The next report by Christopher A. Kennedy, “A comparison of sustainability of public and private transportation systems”, further analyzes the impact of the metro system on Toronto and proposes that it is an important cultural landscape in urban sustainability. The next report, “Characterizing metro networks: state, form, and structure”, is written by both Sybil Derrible and Christopher A. Kennedy and can be used...

...Recruitment and Selection Process Evelina L. Clark MGT/531 November 14,2011 Rebecca Marek Recruitment and Selection Process The recruitment and selection methods, which will be used to fill the position of Operation Supervisor in the Loveland, Colorado Transit System, are governed by the guidelines for employment used by the city since this is an agency of the Public Works Department. While there are many different recruitment and selection methods due to budgetary constraints in the city government this job will be recruited by using local newspaper ads, local job boards , in the industry publication Transit intelligence and posting the job on the city website (www.cityofloveland.org).The reason for recruiting locally is because the job is a public sector position and the pay scale is lower than the median for the position in other regions and would be unlikely to attract applicants from other regions because there are no other incentives being offered such as relocation assistance, and sign on bonuses. Anyone interested will fill out and online application. There will be no preference given to internal applicants the job will be visible to all at the same time and the criteria used for selection will be based on experience and qualifications only. Once the application period ends the initial screening will begin all applications will be reviewed and the applicant pool narrowed to the top 20 candidates. These applicants will be contacted for an initial interview...

...Chinese Urbanization: its implications and business opportunities According to a McKinsey Global Institute study, “, China will have an urbanized population over one billion by the year 2030, from approximately 600 million today. As 400 million more people move from the countryside to urban population centers, there will be massive shifts in income, consumption, and the use of public goods (mass transportation, education, etc.). These changes will have a great impact on China’s society and economy. Why China’s Urbanization cannot be stopped China’s development over the last 30 years since the opening of China’s doors in 1978 has been anything but a smooth, national process. Indeed, starting with Guangzhou and following with Shanghai, Beijing and now Tianjin, the mega-cities have developed at a much faster pace than its surrounding areas, with surrounding cities, and rural areas lagging far behind. Both geography and socio-political concerns have contributed to this pattern of growth. Geographically, the coastal areas have been China’s traditional powerhouses in trade and commerce, and given China’s borders with the Himalayas, the Gobi Desert, and the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, the coastal areas served as China’s primary (if not only) conduit to the West. Socio-politically, Guangzhou’s and Shenzhen’s proximity to Hong Kong made them ideally suited to serve as the first door to the west; Shanghai’s location at the terminus of the Chang Jiang made it a historically...

...Public Transportation and Unemployment Tracy E. Anderson Herzing University Public Transportation and Unemployment Some people feel that the unemployment rate needs to be lowered. The reasons why unemployment is a problem – for the individual, it’s the realm of losing his/her job makes him/her feel a depreciating value of self-worth. Another reason is the natural feel and greater level of anxiety about how he/she is going to recover the missing income. It just not only affects the person himself/herself, but it does affects his/her family in the long run. In most cases, that is becoming too common, most families have to downsize their home and/or move; for society/country – It brings despair, unhappiness, and anguish. Sometimes it forces people to live their lives in a way that is financially comprised because it becomes one-income instead of a two-income family. That’s why I feel that by offering free public transportation can be a major key step in reducing the unemployment rates. Supporting Arguments Individuals who can’t afford private transportation often live in neighborhoods that don’t have many businesses, and thus, there are not many jobs within walking distance. By increasing the local customer base for services, such as medical facilities, shopping malls, and local educational facilities, rural transportation can enhance economic growth. Second, public transit can improve economic efficiency. “For example, when a transit system allows an unemployed individual...
