The differences over cost driver between LG and TORK are mainly come from the followings, please see below: Design: LG uses the plastic parts which the weight is lesser than Tork steel’s part and also the cost are cheaper. Moreover, the assembled times of LG are faster than Tork along with the wages rate of LG are lower. In conclusion, LG are cheaper and faster than Tork Geography: The freight costs of LG are significantly higher due to requiring ocean freight and shipping to distribution centers, whereas Tork relies on trucks and trains. However, LG enjoys a large wage advantage in Korea. Facility: LG has higher manufacturing volume based on they has an advantage from scale of economies by purchasing lots of material and got the discount on the prices.
Truckload volumes would be more easily gathered to and from distribution centers, lowering transfer and customer freight costs. However, the effect of using third party warehousing and transportation on transfer and customer freight costs is less obvious. 2- What impact would warehouse consolidation have on inventory carrying costs, customer service levels and order fill rate? Inventory carrying Costs would be reduced with better utilization of facilities and less duplication of effort. The company operates two warehouses in Newark, NJ and Los Angeles, CA.
Michael Urquhart 2/6/2014 Physical Networking Unit 5: Assignment 1: Cabling Factors and Tools Discussion When performing a cable installation the type of jacket is one thing to take in consideration. First you would need to know what type of jacket you need for your cable. There are plenum, PVC/non-plenum, direct burial and riser. A plenum cable is used in commercial work in office building where there are open air returns. Integrators will use riser grade at the riser, and then switch to plenum in the plenum space.
Project Management Organizational Structures Organizations come in various forms and dimensions, and the same can be assumed of their project management organizational structures. An organizations structure may benefit or hurt the organizations capacity to attain the project’s accomplishment. Therefore, it is vital for organizations to select the most suitable structure for the management of the project. There are three primary project management organization structures, which include: functional, matrix, and pure project. One of the three structures has their advantages and disadvantages.
2. What are two or three advantages to each company’s Layer 2 network resilience solutions? Cisco features cost-effective components while achieving full redundancy, load balancing and full scalability. HP’s IRF (Intelligent Resilient Framework) is designed to combine the benefits of box-type devices (simple, standalone switches for example) and chassis-based distributed devices, such as a blade switch. The argument is that box-type devices are cost-effective, but can be less reliable and less scalable, and are therefore unsuitable for critical business

To be able to implement those measure correctly an organizational structure is needed. As Jones, G. R. (2012) states, organizational structure is defined as rules and policies to provide a structure on company level where roles and responsibilities are delegated, controlled and coordinated. The three dimensions of organizational structure according to Hill, C. (2005) are vertical differentiation, horizontal differentiation and the establishment of integrating mechanisms. To Hill, C. (2005) vertical differentiation defines whether the companies should make their decisions on a centralized or decentralized level. Pluses for centralization are that it can alleviate communications and cooperation within a company, further it allows decisions to be
Transfer of training is more likely to occur when the trainees works on tasks during training (e.g., knowledge, equipment, of processes) that are very similar, if not identical, to the work environment (near transfer). Three theories of transfer of training have implications for training design. (the learning environment): which are listed below; Identical Elements- Training environment is identical to work environment. It was proposed in which it was postulated that transfer between activities would take place only if they shared common elements or features. Thus it was predicted that one’s training in addition would transfer to his ability to learn how to multiply.
STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT What is strategic management? Strategic management can be used to determine mission, vision, values, goals, objectives, roles and responsibilities, timelines, etc. Top of Category What is strategic planning? Strategic planning is a management tool, period. As with any management tool, it is used for one purpose only: to help an organization do a better job - to focus its energy, to ensure that members of the organization
- for the complete functioning of the microprocessor. In fact, they are often called computer system on a chip. These sandwiched peripherals are so little that they are just sufficient for low to medium power applications; thus, they are optimally and efficiently used as the reduced cost, size and energy consumption are of great advantages. Suppose, for instance, we wish to control the operation of an elevator, a computer system could be well deployed by programming the microprocessor to realize such desired operations. We, however, should realize that the cost of positioning the computer is relatively expensive as compared to the tasks it is to perform.
