Unit 218 – Research Information 1.1: Give reasons for agreeing objectives and deadlines for researching information. Agreeing on objectives and deadlines is key to any team or person as they can focus on one specific task and not waste resources and time. Deadlines can have a very direct impact on the research being carried out. One example of this is if a magazine writer has agreed a one-week deadline, they would not include the start day’s news, as the news will be outdated by time the magazine is published. 1.2: Give reasons for identifying and agreeing sources of information.
Having suppliers provide us with a written schedule that details their quality control process would give us a better understanding of the importance they place in this phase. How would they monitor meeting our specifications and expectations? Also, if there is a product failure, how fast will the turnaround be before an acceptable replacement can be delivered fully operational? The amount of inventory on hand that the suppler has or will have in order to meet our demand also demands our attention. What type of inventory control system does the supplier use?
This way the company can decrease the amount of shortages they undergo during production. Also the company could invest in a new and updated inventory control system that would properly reflect their current inventory, which could help them understand the demands they receive as well as if they have the proper amount of stock on hand to fulfill their orders. The possibly best solution for this company is to adopt a new inventory system that will help them understand there on hand inventories. With this solution it can also act as a forecaster that will help them understand their future orders more clearly. Upon this solution’s
Business Systems Analysis Petrie’s Electronics Case Study - Week: 6 1. Why don’t information systems projects work out as planned? What causes the differences between the plan and reality? * A systems information project may sometimes work outside of its intended plan due to a variety of reasons; notable ones are: * Money * Time * Maintenance Requests A developer’s goal is to create a system that meets criterion laid out by a business and/or to simply out perform its peers. In relation to money, the developer’s goal may be hindered due to the costs of his/her project exceeding the “spending cap.” In addition, time proves to be a factor when new findings mandate certain alterations for a code in progress.
Currently Competition Bikes purchases inventory for production the month before it goes to the production line. To ensure that inventory is being used in a smart way, the company should negotiate terms with fewer manufacturers to purchase materials on consignment. This would allow the materials to be stored at the manufacturing facility to be available on demand without the necessity of carrying that inventory in the books. The inventory would then be purchased and paid for at the time of use. This reduces the carrying costs of the inventory that is ordered as well as insuring that unused items are not held from month to month.

This could probably be accomplished in time, but the speed at which it would have to be done raises concerns about impurities in the process. (B) Approve using the old component in place of the new one. The product would still function well, and it would be unlikely that Procter and Gamble would ever detect the difference. Although Procter and Gamble would not be getting exactly what it ordered, the product would meet minimal safety and durability standards. (C) Discuss the problem with the design engineer and see what he suggests.
Change and continuity is essential for cultural landscapes. From one generation to another, there is much change in how people act, look, and think. At times the change is minor and is not entirely recognized or the change can be drastic. Every few years, the image of what is “new” and “modern” alters. Therefore, it is important to slightly modify cultural landscapes to what is perceived as “modernized” at the time.
However, Sekiguchi and Huber (2011) stated that evaluation based on PJ fit will be less importantly weighted in permanent contract-based job, i.e. in the long term. This is because as business environment changes, PJ fit at the time of hiring will not promise excellent long-term outcome. However, it is argued that if an individual understand accurately of the job requirements, he can better adjust to the job (Wanous, 1977). This may be due to self-motivation because he understands well the job and he will find ways to adjust to changing environment.
