LITERATURE REVIEW ON ERP
In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, many organisations have accelerated the digital transformation of many of their operations from physical ones to virtual ones. For example, many educational institutes have changed their course delivery and examination from predominately physical exam to predominately virtual exam. This change affects the operational processes of these educational institutes. Discuss the effect of the physical to virtual transformation practice on the sustainability of an organisation’s operations. The discussion should address the positive and/or negative impact on each of the three dimensions of sustainability. You should demonstrate critical thinking in the discussion and provide a balanced view. Provide relevant examples. Hi, may i request to have an original answer to this? Would also like to request for additional explanations to the steps. Thank you

Why is it important to make a process exception?
Theories and concepts: Cause of the difficulties In this section, I will explain the causes of the difficulties which I have explained above. The reason for the missing cages uses to be that the cage is still being picked or not and if the picker is still using the cage to pick the items then request the picker to drop the cage off to the packing department so that the items can be packed and sent out the shipping department for the delivery. Also, if the cage is not in the picking department buffer or pack buffer and is not being picked then as a process guide it was my duty to search for the cage at the packing stations first, and if not found then to escalate to the management so that relevant department can be contacted for the action. During the critical pool time, there were a few shipments IDs use to get sent down from the picking department which they couldn’t send into the picker’s scanners as either the batch assigned for the item by the stowing department would be wrong or…
Seaports are important in global supply chains. Their management plays an important part in minimizing waiting time for ships that visit seaports for loading and unloading cargo and port utilization. The Oakland seaport is a busy container seaport on the West coast of America, but it is a bit relaxed in the month of December. Based on the past data, it is observed that 6 ships arrive there, on an average, per day, and it takes 3 hours to unload a ship on an average, with a standard deviation of 4 hours. Determine the following: Minimum number of unlading facilities. Probability (each unloading facility is busy) Probability (each unloading facility is idle) Probability of 2 ships in the system and 4 ships in the system Average number of ships in the system, that is, number of ships in the line including the one being unloaded. Average number of ships waiting to be unloaded, that is, number of ships in the line excluding being unloaded. Average time a ship spends in the system, that…
