They could be making more money per unit if they would tighten up their processes. They make two types of anchors. The bell type and the snag hook type. They have to stop production when they get an order for the opposite type of anchor and this down time for set up is very inefficient and costs a great deal. It takes about 36 hours to make the switch.
Then I had the vendors who could not make up their minds in regards to who would be representing their center or daycare. These sudden and frequent changing was making it very difficult for me to keep my registration sheet in order which was kind of frustrating. In response to the challenges I faced I found a simple resolve. I took the vendors concerns into consideration. I had the workers add extra days and even a Saturday.
INTRODUCTION Over the past decade, nursing shortage has been an epidemic. Facilities often find it difficult to obtain adequate staffing. In an attempt to correct this problem, many facilities have decided to utilize mandatory overtime. Overtime is defined as “the time one spends doing their job in addition to their regular scheduled hours” (Dictionary.com, n.d.). Once in a while overtime may be beneficial, but logbooks indicate that it is been used too frequently in hospitals and other nursing facilities.
From reading the case study I would say a major problem is that the station manager Frank Smith is focusing on the budget constraints, which is important; however the needs of the consumer needs to be met. The service which is being provided in the case study is door-to-door overnight air-express delivery. The station manager Frank Smith is based in Chattanooga TN, his main concern is adding capital expenses when business does not seem to be increasing. The majority of customers in this area have pickups scheduled between 3pm and 6pm, however the majority of customers who call-in are requiring pickups around 5pm. A business problem that has risen is the majority of customers wanting pickups as late as possible around 5pm, and not enough drivers to satisfy the need.

I am going to use some techniques described in this section such as scheduling early classes, studying in between classes and when I am studying, actually focusing. This quarter my latest class starts at 9 a.m., and my earliest class is 8 a.m. This already shows how I put this section into effect. I plan on scheduling my classes early like this for the rest of my college career that way I can get an early start every day. I try to study in between my classes during my two hour breaks on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so I don’t fall behind in my schoolwork.
Every morning I wake up at 6am to get ready for work at 8am. Now my job is about an 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes away, which only leaves me with 30 minutes to get ready. The first thing I do when I wake up is brush my teeth, then get into the shower for 5 to 10 minutes then I get dressed. The thing that really slows me down in the morning is putting on my makeup. I try to spend only 5 minutes doing my makeup, but I sometimes go overboard and at times it takes me at least 20 minutes to get my makeup done.
I sleep late and get up early. And worst of all, I don’t have time to make a new friend. I think it is terrible. I don’t have many friends here. I thinks work study changes my life
My life has been changed since than. I learn the language, the culture, go to work 60 hours a week and go back to school. People asked me if I felt regret for my decision. I can not change the circumstance any more; I just want to use my time and energy to become a proactive person.

DIANA CUETO ENC 1101 PROFESSOR BRAND 12 OCTOBER 2014 Escaping Reality The alarm clock rings at seven thirty in the morning followed by a hot shower and fresh coffee. The car engine turns on and I head to my destination. After a four hour school day, I change into either my gym or work clothes. In between the day my attention is put into projects and homework until my body muscles do not wish to be awake, and in the blink of an eye is seven thirty in the morning once again. Over time this becomes a routine forcing my soul to scream in desperation for air.
