- Question 3: A catering company must have the following number of clean napkins available at the beginning of each of the next four days: day 1: 15, day 2: 12, day 3: 18, and day 4: 6. After being used, a napkin can be cleaned by one of two methods: fast service or slow service. Fast service costs $0.10 per napkin, and a napkin cleaned via fast service is available for use the day after it is last used. Slow service costs $0.06 per napkin, and a napkin cleaned via slow service is available two days after they were last used. New napkins can be purchased for a cost of $0.20 per napkin.

In five short years she has more new software programs to her credit that anyone else in the department. She is highly creative and widely respected for her programming skills. However, Jenna is impulsive and has little tolerance for those whose work is less creative. Jenna is slow to cooperate with other departments and supervisors are unhappy with her approach. Jenna prefers to work alone and is focussed on completing her master’s degree. She has little interest in developing her team or setting goals and objective for the team to meet certain targets. Jenna has not been considered for a promotion to senior manager. Expanding on the ‘technical skills’ category of managerial skills, discuss the areas in this category of managerial skills that Jenna should develop, as well as the technical skills that Jenna already has.arrow_forward
- want correct answer please provide itarrow_forwardQuestion: Pistons for automotive engines can be formed either by casting or forging technique. Traditional cast pistons are considered good enough by most engine tuners and builders when it comes to standard setups. They suffer no significant drawback in terms of compression and service life. Performance enthusiasts and custom engine builders prefer the use of forged pistons because they are more durable and easily customised to any configuration, which is essential for engine tuning. Cast pistons are made with the use of large, specialised equipment made up of a mould where the molten aluminium alloy is poured to create the piston shape. Forged pistons employ a single-cast billet of the alloy which is stamped into the required shape using a die. The shape of the die determines the size and shape of the piston. The productivity rates for both methods are different. How do i calculate this?: In this Question, we assume that one unit piston weighs 1.54kg.
