This work could arise in a manufacturing setting, such as assembling cars or producing chemicals, or in a service setting, such as processing invoices or responding to customer orders and requests. Clearly, the workers would benefit from feedback on the quality (defects, yields) and process times of the work they were doing to suggest where they could make improvements. Identify the role, if any, for sharing financial information with these employees to help them in their efforts to improve quality, productivity, and process times. Be specific about the types of financial information that would be helpful and the specific decisions or actions that could be made better by supplementing physical and operational information with financial information.arrow_forwardData Master is a computer software consulting company.

In simplified terms, chip making at JCL Inc. involves three basic operations: depositing, patterning, and etching. • Depositing: Using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology, an insulating material is deposited on the wafer surface, forming a thin layer of solid material on the chip. • Patterning: Photolithography projects a microscopic circuit pattern on the wafer surface, which has a light-sensitive chemical like the emulsion on photographic film. It is repeated many times as each layer of the chip is built. • Etching: Etching removes selected material from the chip surface to create the device structures. Table 7.4 lists the required processing times and setup times at each of the steps. There is unlimited space for buffer inventory between these steps. Assume that the unit of production is a wafer, from which individual chips are cut at a later stage.a.…arrow_forwardBriefly explain two (2) potential pitfalls encountered in the design of performance indicators and measurement systems.arrow_forward

Further, they will able to store these design on a network server where they and other architects may be able to call them back up for future designs with similar components. The consulting firm has been instructed to develop the system without disrupting the architects. In fact, the top management believes that the best route is to develop the system and then to “introduce” it to the architects during training session. Management does not want the architects to spend precious billable hours guessing about the new system of putting work off until the new system is working. Thus, the consultants are operating in a back room under a shroud of secrecy. a) Do you think that management is taking the best course of action for the announcement of the new system?
