No more tile dust, no more forty-mile an hour winds blowing through the plant, and no more Al Wright for me”, Roberts replied. Wright, the plant manager, and Roberts, journeyman maintenance mechanic for TileElite, had been at odds for years. Roberts had been hired during a manufacturing plant expansion at Tile-Elite and Wright had promised Roberts a production supervisor’s job upon its completion. However, when the expansion was completed and the last production line was ready to produce, Wright told Roberts to forget the supervisor’s job because he was more valuable to the company as a maintenance mechanic. “I know what I said, Gary, but I think you’re going to be a mechanic here even if you stay twenty years,” Wright had stated at the time.

However, with the persuasion of a few willing individuals along with his high ranking position in the Navy, he was able to orchestrate this scheme to perfection before ultimately getting caught in February of 2011. This scheme took place over a twelve year period from 1999 to 2011 when he used his position in the Navy to direct Russell Spencer, a computer specialist, to submit millions of dollars in fraudulent invoices to Navy contractor Advanced Solutions for Tomorrow. This money was disbursed amongst Mariano and close relatives over a long period of time. Mariano has admitted that little to no work was done for Spencer to receive this money that ultimately ended up in the pockets of Mariano. Ralph has admitted to receiving $3,081,671 of Navy funded checks from Spencer.
Beer Game Reflection The BeerGame taught me a valuable lesson of never taking charge of a situation that I am not familiar with. Having organized a time and location for our group to meet, I naturally assumed control of the group by setting up the game and choosing the team name. I also took first pick in the roles and decided to be the producer, knowing that everything ultimately will stem from me. The other members of my group followed suite and chose their positions and so began week 1. Surprisingly for the first 16 weeks our group excelled in every position and made an overall profit of 900$, along with having positive stock and money in each of the four positions.
Compared to over 9000 people who have taken the test I was in the 98th percentile. (Survey-server2.com, 2014)These results were not a shock to me. When you are bound by trying to be perfect it is very hard for you not to be aware of it. I am 30 years old and have been told by anyone who has ever got to know me that I put way to much stress on myself to succeed and be perfect. I first started my own business at 15, bought my first house at 19, built a home at 23 and started another company at 25 that lasted a few years and currently I am in the process of trying to start another company, hoping the 3rd time will be the charm.

We also needed to come up with a suitable program to make the robot move and write letters. But after nearly a week of coding each individual letter of the alphabet we decided to regroup and think of a new idea, We used a new robot and thought it would be a great alternative,unfortunately it really wasn’t as simple as we had hoped,the idea was great but it was hard to control and we would have to recalibrate it everytime we wanted it to move. We came back that Monday and my group was out of hope and wanted to just give up and just make a website,however I wasn’t about to throw in the towel that easily. So, I had come up with the idea that might just save us and that was “Writer’s Block” I told our team about the idea of recycling our code that we had already done with the alphabet for the last project we scrapped and use that to create a program that would teach kids how read, write and spell as well as learn colors,numbers and shapes.I talked to our teammate that wasn’t too keen on working and reasoned with her the best I could and she did end up being a great asset to the team. After working tirelessly on our project we ended up with a project that was good and something we were eager to present and show everyone.
