Eva Green is the director of Epic Systems Corporate, healthcare software company. In three months, a proposal is due for an electronic health record (EHR) system for Mercy Health Partners. For several years, Epic Systems Corporate has been developing new data mining system, a critical component in an EHR system that would be superior to any EHR currently on the market. However, progress in research and development has been slow, and Eva is unsure whether her staff can produce the data mining system in time. If they succeed in developing the data mining system (probability ), there is an excellent chance (probability ) that Epic System Corporate will win the $1 million contract from Mercy Health Partners. If they do not, there is a small chance (probability ) that she will still be able to win the same contract with an alternative but inferior EHR that has already been developed. If Eva continues the project, she must invest $200,000 in R&D. In addition, making a proposal (which she…

What are two advantages to using a Gantt chart instead of a simple flowchart? Check All That Apply Gantt charts include the time duration on the x-axis. Gantt charts display the concurrent nature of certain activities. Gantt charts more prominently display decision points. Gantt charts indicate which process precedes other activities.

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the Managing Director (MD) of Illustrious Limited recently hadthe following conversation regarding the development of a new information system for the company:CIO: The way to go about the analysis is to first examine the old system, such as reviewing keydocuments and observing the workers performing their tasks. Then we can determine which aspectsare working well and which should be preserved.MD: We have been through these types of projects before, and what always ends up happening is thatwe do not get the new system we are promised. Instead we get a modified version of the old system.CIO: I can assure you that will not happen this time. My team just want a thorough understanding ofwhat is working well and what is not.MD: I would feel much more comfortable if we first started with a list of our requirements. We shouldspend more time in determining what exactly we want the system to do upfront. Then your team cancome in and determine what portions…

1. Assume you work for an organization that intends to use process mining to examine several of its processes. The first process you are considering is hiring a new employee to work for your large company. To get started, you must  a. List the activities that are likely to be recorded in a database related to hiring an employee.   b. Brainstorm what types of analyses you could perform by looking at the activities and time stamps for thote activities. Suggest three analyses that you could perform if this data was collected and put into a process mining dashboard. As you consider the analyses, think about analyses that would be useful to internal and external auditors, the HR Department and other groups.

I really need help with the formulas to get the answers. Thanks! Case Study 2: Forecasting Lost Sales The Carlson Department Store suffered heavy damage when a hurricane struck on August 31, 2013. The store was closed for four months (Sept – Dec 2013) and Carlson is now involved in a dispute with its insurance company concerning the amount of lost sales during the time the store was closed. Two key issues must be resolved: The amount of sales Carlson would have made if the hurricane had not struck; and Whether Carlson is entitled to any compensation for excess sales from increased business activity after the storm More than $8 billion in federal disaster relief and insurance money came into the county, resulting in increased sales at department stores and numerous other businesses. The table below shows the sales data for the 48 months preceding the storm. The following table reports total sales for the 48 months preceding the storm for all department stores in the county, as well…

A recent report on executive awareness of and involvement in corporate pandemic preparedness by Michael Evangelides, principal at Deloitte Consulting LLP, most top executives and boards of directors are not engaged in the influenza pandemic planning process and won't give it equal billing to other potential disruptions until at least one of the following occurs:    Media attention to pandemic influenza increases.  Legislation or regulation emerges, requiring a high level of preparedness. Shareholders and investors demand a high level of preparedness. The financial impact of a pandemic on the corporation becomes evident.    Obviously, planners can do little to nudge along the first three prerequisites. But, fortunately, the fourth is in their sphere of influence. And it is worth pursuing, says Penny Turnbull, senior director of crisis management and business continuity planning at Washington, DC–based Marriott International, Inc. "It certainly helps focus the minds of our senior…

Dutta is in second year of his first full time job fter graduation in engineering. He enjoys design but he is becoming increasingly concerned that his work is not being adequately checked by more experienced engineers. He has been assigned to assist in design of number of projects that involved public safety, such as schools, skywalks etc. he spoke to his supervisor whose engineering competence he respects, and the supervisor told that more experienced engineers are checking his work. Later, he discovered that his work was often not checked. Instead, his drawings were stamped and passed on to the contractor. Some of the smaller projects he designed were under construction within a few weeks after the designs were completed. At this point Dutta calls one of his former professors from his engineering college. “I am really scared that I am going to make a mistake that will kill some people.” Duta tells his Professor, “ I try to overdesign, but the projects that I am being assigned are…
