Security Assessment, Recommendations, and Solutions Amber Fuente DeVry University December 15, 2013 Abstract Aircraft Solutions located in California makes products and services for electronic, defense, commercial, and aerospace companies. After reviewing the scenario presented in case one I have identified to security weaknesses. Phase one will identify and explore the security weaknesses found. The first is a policy weakness regarding the use of firewalls and routers. The second is a hardware weakness also related to the use of servers.
They also included a share of the costs associated with running the hubs at two airports, such as ticket agents, building charges, baggage handlers, gate charges, etc. Suppose that the revenue collected on the typical United flight from San Francisco to Washington does not cover these costs. Does this fact imply that United should discontinue these flights? Explain. Based on the book when there are competitive markets such as airlines, a company certainly needs to look at costs and revenue very closely.

Question 1 Carefully review the Assignment scenario/case study. From the limited information in the scenario/case study, identify at least three direct and specific long-term and three direct and specific short term operations changes that Albatross Anchor must make to gain a clear and sustainable competitive advantage (provide detailed information to validate and support each recommended change). Long-Term Operational Changes (01) Being in compliance and staying in compliance to U.S. safety and environmental standards goes both ways long term and short term goal wise. It’s not good for business if workers are injured or in jeopardy of being injured because of negligence on the plants part or due to faulty equipment or even the work environment itself. If OSHA does an inspection and, let’s look at worst case scenarios here, you are forced to shut down to get in compliance, you will lose money and time while this is being done.
Typically with large companies, a contract administration can be used to "put procedures in place to properly keep track of the myriad of documents, drawings, and cost and schedule control information that is generated during construction" (Harmon & Stephan, 2001). More importantly, a "proper contract administrator can manage these efforts and ensure that procedures are followed" (Harmon & Stephan, 2001).The benefit to this is that a company "saves time and money " when proper contract management is used and contract administrators are used to perform these jobs. The development of a contract plan along with using contract administrators can also affect any legalities associated with it. Ensuring that the correct people are in place who have the ability of full understanding of the contract and all of the legalities that go with it will help to protect the company. Developing a professional contract administration plan leaves no responsibilities to question.

Recent debates and news concerning air travel has created a deep-seated fear of this mode of transport, and more and more people are being made aware of the consequences of having firm airport security. Busy and popular airports and international airlines try to come up with the best measures to make sure that air travel is safe and reliable as well as quick and convenient, but people still have solid reservations and opinions about this modern day concern. There was a time when security checks at airports were merely a formality. Metal detecting equipment and body searches were minimal and people didn’t need to worry about their right to privacy, and more specifically, being asked to take their clothes of during their travels. Airports were not security-free but at the same time they did not feel like entrances to maximum security prisons.
Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner aircrafts have defaulted expectations and as a result the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has begun to conduct independent investigations on all of the aircrafts. The NTSB and Federal Government investigating units continue to examine the charging and wiring design components of the 787 Dreamliner aircraft because the issue has not yet been resolved. NTSB and Federal Government investigating units purpose is to ensure the safety of the aircraft. To achieve this goal, the National Transportation Safety Board must conduct business research, which includes: surveys, analysis, factual information, and observation that determine the probable cause of the issues with 787 Dreamliner Aircraft. The idea or hypotheses of the 787 Dreamliner stems from its construction.
In essence, safety can be expressed as the freedom from hazard and the absence of risk. And while all hazards and risks cannot be totally eliminated, the aviation professional must make a conscientious effort to minimize safety compromising variables.A foreign object on an active runway is one such variable that could compromise aircraft safety, as took place on 25 July 2000. On this day, at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, the Concord hit a titanium strip which was dropped on the runway by a1Continental Airlines DC-10. This set in motion a chain of events that resulted in the death of 113 people (Phillips, 2000).The metal strip would be classified as a Foreign Object (FO). The consequence of derelict foreign objects could result in Foreign Object Damage (FOD).
