Supply Chain Before map Diargam After Map Diagram The highlighted process flow chart in the ‘before’ section shows the actual process that takes place at a hardware store in the neighborhood. There is a clear indication that customers spend a lot of unnecessary time in the store. For instance, waiting in the check-out Lines when the store is busy takes about 20 minutes for every customer. The store has a limited number of attendants to help customers and to confirm their receipts and products, which makes the wait even longer. Even when all the check-out stations have attendants, the Lines are too long. It is also apparent that 90% of the customers in the store live around the city, which implies that they are loyal customers. The proposed innovative changes in the process are customer-focused, and they look into influencing an approach that leverages technology. By developing an online store, the company will facilitate a platform that eliminates the need for customers to waste their time driving to the store and dealing with slow services and long Lines. The plan entails shifting the business from the physical store to the e-commerce platform that allows customers to select products from the online store. This will require the company to develop a database to hold data from the client’s accounts, and also to develop the capabilities for new clients to make purchases and highlight the specific locations for deliveries. This system will be beneficial for the company because it will eliminate the need to hire attendants. This will translate to lower financial liability. The company will only need to maintain an IT department to deal with the data and to confirm orders and schedule deliveries (Barnes & Hunt 2013). The store will also require a product delivery system with a fleet of vehicles and the relevant personnel. Leveraging technology to enhance the quality of services offered to customers is one of the current trends in business (Da Costa 2016). Most companies have developed online stores alongside their physical retailing stores to harness a larger market share, and to enhance the satisfaction of their loyal customers. Eliminating the need for clients to make hectic trips to the store and having quality products delivered to their doorsteps is quite an innovative approach to service delivery, and it will increase the value of the products. Additionally, the company can use the data collected from orders to develop a supply chain that meets the demand for specific products. This way, the company will eliminate
Introduction The Everglades is a rain fed wetland that used to cover the area starting from Lake Okeechobee southwards to Florida Bay (McCally, 1999). The gentle flowing shallow water moved as a massive body through diverse landscapes from mangroves bays to grasslands marshes completing the movement at Florida Bay. From as early as the eighteenth century, drainage of this wetland has been taking place and as at today, over half of its total area has been drained off. This is mainly brought about by the pressure put on the ecosystem by the increasing human settlement in the area. The spectacular biodiversity and productivity of South Florida’s Everglades’ ecosystem is endangered by the immense diversions of fresh water. These water diversions aim at controlling floods in the wetland areas and providing water for urban and agricultural use (National Research Council, 2003). With credible research studies projecting double population numbers for South Florida by the year twenty fifty, an effective system of sustainable water use is compulsory if the ecosystem is to withstand the rising human pressure. This essay discusses the biodiversity challenges facing the Everglades and what measures can be put in place to mitigate these challenges. It will also examine the restoration goals and look at the relationship between human activities and ecological sustainability of the natural system. Restoration Research institutions among them Universities and several state and federal agencies have embarked on restoring the Everglades. The agencies include the U.S Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S National Park Service, the U.S Environmental Protection Agency, the World Wildlife Foundation, South Florida Water Management District and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Numerous biodiversity challenges have been identified by most of these agencies but the most important restoration challenges documented are: Mercury Contamination, Hydro pattern, Vegetation changes and loss, Eutrophication and Endangered and exotic species. The legislature in Florida enacted a number of statutes under the Florida Water Resources Act to protect and restore the Everglades. The Act lays out the functions and roles of the Department of Environmental Protection and the South Florida Water Management District in restoration of the Everglades. The Everglades Restoration Investment statute assigns the South Florida Water Management District the responsibility of funding most of the restoration activities. However, some other restoration programmes are being implemented and funded by either Non Governmental Organizations or the state and federal government. A plan aiming at restoring the ecosystem
The main problem raised includes that of the use of machinery and modern innovations in the production of commodities (Marx, 1906). The author strives to bring out an argument that is crucial in identify and clarifying whether the use of machinery has, in any way, helped in improving working conditions. According to the author, the capitalist system is where the employee works for few hours while using machines in the workplace (Marx, 1906). In addition, the employees produce more when using machines and yet they receive little pay for their work (Marx, 1906). The author’s argument focuses on the discussion that machines can be regarded as a means with which capitalists produce surplus value. Another key argument raised by the author focuses on the mode of production, both in the manufacture and the modern industry (Marx, 1906). The author contends that the revolution in the production mode starts with labor power in the manufacture while, in modern industry, it starts with the instruments that deal with labor (Marx, 1906). Another conclusion that the author makes in the text includes the argument that machines perform the same duties as those performed by human beings (Marx, 1906). As discussed by the author, the modern industry considers machines as the key tools to be used in the production of goods. The modern world has developed to such an extent that machines can be used in the production of other machines (Marx, 1906). The author gives a historical account of the development of machines over the years (Marx, 1906). The author concludes that the number of implements that can be used by a human being tend to be limited to the body organs. Thus, a human being may not be capable of operating many machines at the same time (Marx, 1906). On the invention, as well as advancement of machinery, the author states that, in Germany, there had been attempts to have two spinning wheels work with a single spinner (Marx, 1906). However, this turned out to be impossible. The author contends that it is the discovery of a treddle spinning wheel that had two spindles and other discoveries, which had an effect on machinery development (Marx, 1906). The author discusses the various ways through which mac
Over the past years, college education has been a major topic of controversy with various people pledging their support for or against it. The outcome and the quality of lives after the attainment of the college schooling determine whether it is worth pursuing. Five authors have expressed their thoughts regarding this topic, most of which depict a feeling of disappointment and dissatisfaction over the controversial issue, as to whether it is worth attending college. Many families sacrifice a great deal just to ensure that their children get quality education; but with the increasing trends of unemployment, is college education worth the cost, sacrifice and the effort or it is just a simple scam that many people have been plunged into? In the article titled, “Is College a scam”, the author talks comprehensively about how the current job market influences people’s decision on what course to pursue. According to the author, many college graduates join their respective colleges and pursue their courses with much enthusiasm, only to get out of college and lack a meaningful job. This compels them to take up non-professional jobs in anticipation of better ones. The author of the article “fulfilling her mother’s dream” advances the same argument. In this article, the author narrates a story of a mother who yearned for college education but missed it; the mother did not stop at this point but struggled to ensure that the daughter attains the education that she (the mother) had missed. The most discouraging factor however is that like other graduates who went before the daughter, she was highly likely to join the group of jobless graduates after attaining the much sought after college education. On a rather controversial note, the article, “Americas most overrated product; higher education”, idealizes of how successful college dropouts have succeeded in their quest for success. The likes of Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, and Richard Branson among others have greatly succeeded in this competitive job market, despite not having a college education or dropping out. The decision to drop out of college and venture into lucrative business activities has changed their lives, making them pursue areas of their interests and saving their families the cost of college education. The author of the same article is of the opinion that if colleges, like companies, were judged based on the quality of their products, most students would not spend millions in education only to miss out on their anticipated job positions. College degrees have also been seen to be of great value even in careers that they do not apply in. Most employers opt to hire graduates irrespective of their courses even in very odd jobs. Graduates are therefore not guaranteed to get their expected jobs, a factor that makes the college education seem like a wa
The Goals of the Presentation This presentation is aimed at achieving the following goals:  1. To analyze the ideas of Stephen Covey, in particular the habit that he calls First Seek to Understand, Then to be Understood;  2. To identity and discuss the major components of this habit;  3. To show how these principles can be applied in real-life situations. First Seek to Understand, Then to be Understood: The Main Components of the Habit The main principles of this habit are as follows:  1. Do not prescribe before diagnosing;  2. Listen Empathetically;  3. Avoid autobiographical responses;  4. Use pathos, ethos and logos when communicating. These are the main principles that David Covey identifies in his book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People . The following slides will explain the core principles of this habit and illustrate how they can be applied in real-life situations. Do not prescribe before diagnosing: What this principle is about and why it is important  1. 1First, think about the needs, values and attitudes of a person;  2. Gather as much information as possible about a certain situation;  3. Do not suppose that another person thinks just as you do. The main idea that Steven Covey stresses is that people often tend to jump into conclusions when they assess the behavior of individuals or a specific situation. Moreover, sometimes they think that other people have a similar view on ethical or professional problems. The author warns people against making such mistakes. The Importance of Proper Diagnosis This safeguard can help you different ways:  1. It will allow you to avoid many disagreements and conflicts both at home and in the workplace.  2. This principle will help you better find a compromise or a win-win solution.  3. You will maintain better interpersonal relations with your friends, relatives, or colleagues. Diagnose Before Your Prescribe: An Exercise for the Audience  1. Try to remember a conflict or a disagreement that you have recently had.  2. Gather as much information as possible about this situation;  3. Write down your views on the situation. Focus on your attitudes, beliefs, and basic assumptions.  4. Think about the views of a person with whom you had a disagreement. If it is possible, ask this individual about his or her opinion.  5. Compare your assumptions and the assumptions of your interlocutor or even an opponent. You will see that to some extent both of your were right and that this conflict or disagreement could have been avoided. This is a take-home exercise for the audience. It is aimed at showing that very often people have different views on the situations, however they often assume that other individuals think just in the way that they do. This is one of the main reasons for many conflicts and disagreements. Empathic Listening: Understanding Empathy Empathy can be defined as willingness and ability to understand the feelings and emotions of another person. This diagram illustrates the components of empathy. Empathy involves effective listening, attentiveness, and caring for another individual. Without
Validation To validate the quality and relevance of the innovation proposal as a mechanism to enhance organizational performance, specific implementation outcomes need to be assessed. In particular, the delay in medical assistance is one of the key gaps to address to reduce mortality from heart attacks in cardiac patients. As a solution to introduce, a monitoring system is planned to be developed, which will ensure stable and fast interaction between EMT personnel and ED staff. An opportunity to track ECG indicators and forward them to specialists in real time is a valuable implication that can increase the prospects for positive outcomes and minimize the risks of critical delays (Ehnesh et al., 2020). In addition, this innovation can become a convenient tool for the prevention of possible heart attacks on the way to a healthcare institution due to the timely assessment of patients’ conditions by specialists. This idea is relevant to different stakeholders for specific reasons. Patients can be better protected by being examined without delay. Ambulance services can improve productivity and reduce mortality through timely communication with hospitals. Paramedics will have an opportunity to obtain a comprehensive clinical picture of each specific case, which will help avoid errors in the delivery and resuscitation of patients. Finally, hospital staff will be prepared to deal with specific cases in advance, which will also be relevant in the context of maintaining positive recovery statistics. Such a monitoring system is viable and sustainable due to modern remote communication technologies and t
Introduction Obesity in children is one of the contemporary epidemics that have hit high levels across the entire globe. To put it in understandable terms, obesity is an epidemic that is characterized by problems of excessive weight. Obesity is caused and enhanced by several health factors that prevail in the environment in which children grow. Research in the field of nutrition and dietetics shows a rapid rise in the number of cases of children who are being afflicted with obesity. This is a worrying trend considering the fact that obesity restraints people from actively engaging in societal activities. As pointed out by researchers, it is crucial to explore the modalities through which the rising cases of obesity in children can be cut down to encourage the prevalence of a healthy population. The rationale behind the observation is that children form a critical part of the future generation, thus bringing the exploration of the modalities of reducing the cases of obesity in children is one of the best ways of guaranteeing a healthy population in the future society. This paper presents a report of the research that was conducted to ascertain the extent to which obesity affects children in the contemporary society and the modalities of reducing cases of obesity in children. Of greater focus in the report is the exploration of the severity of obesity cases in children and the contemporary interventions that are critical as far as addressing the problem of obesity in children is concerned. The report is divided into three main sections. The first section presents findings about the severity of the cases of obesity in children. Under this part, the sets of interventions are discussed. The second part, which is also critical, presents an analysis of the findings. The third part of this report presents conclusions about the findings and recommendations about the best suited interventions as far as addressing the problem of obesity in children is concerned. Findings Obesity in children Health records in a substantial number of countries, including the United States, indicate a high number of children from five years and over with overweight. Similar trends are also observed among children who fall below the age of five years, commonly known as preschoolers. The epidemiological trends from the beginning of the 21 st century show an acceleration of cases of overweight in children, which is a pointer to the growing number of obese children in the world. It is estimated that a total of 1 billion people globally have obesity. Health statistics in t
Introduction Through a recent approach done in the educational literature, brain based learning is associates with the structure and the relation of the functioning of the brain. The researchers of this approach have come up with principles concerning the brain and how it relates with learning (Kahveci & Ay, 2008). The values of brain based learning offers a theoretical framework for an efficient learning and the teaching process, providing the best conditions in which learning occurs in the brain. These principles guide the instructors to prepare and decide on the best learning surroundings, based in neurobiology (Ozden & Gultekin, 2008). Brain-based learning illustrates the performance of the brain and considers the rules and regulations of the brain for meaningful learning. The most vital function of the brain is to learn, which acts as any other part of the human organs. The brain has limitless capability for learning. Therefore, the functions of the brain are vital for the efficiency of learning. This means that in order to have effectual learning, the brain must be functioning well (Kahveci & Ay, 2008). The instructors, who perform their duties in teamwork with the neurobiologists, combine their facts concerning the functions of the brain and they adapt them to the learning principles of the brain (Ozden & Gultekin, 2008). Principles and strategies of brain-based learning One of the principles based on the brain learning suggests that effectual learning is only achievable trough practicing and taking into considerations the real life events. Through this, the brain will be more expressive and will uphold the processes in search of meaning and patterning (Ozden & Gultekin, 2008). Research has shown that when the brain conveys its pattern making behavior, it will create coherency and the meaning. When the learning activity associates with the physical experience, learning becomes efficient. In addition, an environment of total immersion in a multitude of complex interactive experiences makes learning possible. This comprises the traditional methods used in instructing and the analysis as part of the larger practices (Lackney, 2011). Research done concerning the brain reveals that association of the brain and emotions helps individuals to recall and remember the memories preserved in the central nervous system. The limbic system and the neo-mammalian brain happen to be the home place where emotions originate. The Sensory data relayed to the thalamus in the midbrain acts as a relay station to the sensory cortex (Lackney, 2011). The two organs that are integral to the learning procedure and the
This research is based on the various policies that were formulated by the government of Finland to promote sustainable development through the proper use of its natural resources. To accomplish this government of Finland came up with various policy instruments to protect its environment, and these policy instruments were based on government legislation for instance:   * Water act   * The air pollution control act and   * The chemical act. All these legislations were based on the taxes that were charged on the electricity usage and the voluntary management systems. The above legislations that were formed by the government to act as environmental policy instruments had various positive feedback, and one of the main functions was to direct major industrial pollutants in solving the existing environmental problems. The trust and openness between the operators and authorities is a major factor to ensure the success of the implementations of various legislations that aimed in protecting the environment. This type of approach that has been developed by the government and all its shareholders has made it possible for the Finish firms to adopt the environmental management system and a wide-open mind towards environmental reporting. The idea to give permits to individuals and firms has not resulted in innovations, but they have contributed to the eradication of belief of waste management at the end of drainage, this idea has contributed to innovations by expanding the market for environmentally better technical solutions. The permit system has indirectly contributed to innovations by creating a demand for environmental education and environmental experts. Due to the massive response and consequence to Regulatory instruments, there have been developments of various Networks which have appeared to have had t greatest significance before the permit procedures by the government. The tendency has been towards a better emphasis on the communication in the networks before the presentation of an application to ensure a smoothly functioning permit process. In the networks causative to innovations and the dispersion of innovations authorities have largely been outsiders, except when an innovation has become a de facto standard for permit conditions. In Finland, the sources of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide are mainly in energy production. Nitrogen oxides are also emitted from the transport sector and ammonia emissions in agriculture. The following are some of the sources of air pollutants in Finland.   * Emissions of acidifying compounds and particles   * Heavy metal emissions   * Emissions of persistent organic compounds   * Emissions by source sectors Prevention is better than cure The government of Finland was able to change its policies on environmental instrumen
