The production scheduler of Scotsburn Dairy in Truro, NS, has just received a list of products and their desired lot size (the first week of MPS) from the operations coordinator to be produced next week. The aggregate plan has specified a 40-hour week (four days of 10 hours each) for next week. In sequencing the production, she schedules the products in the same family (as determined during MPS), but also tries to assign allergens toward the end of a day and stronger flavours (e.g., mint) after weaker flavours, and to keep availability of ingredients in mind. Suppose the following families, products, and their quantities (in terms of hours of production) have been chosen to be sequenced for production on one of the three lines next week: Family F1 F2 F3 F4 Product Vanilla-1.89 L Butterscotch-1.89 L Neapolitan-1 L Neapolitan-1.65 L Neapolitan-1.89 L Maple walnut-1 L Peanut butter fudge-1.89 L Chocolate-1.89 L Chocolate mint chip fudge-1.89 L Quantity (in hours of production) 9 3 2 2 4 2…

james is replacing the window of a commercial passenger aircraft, but realises that he doesn’t quite have enough new bolts with the screen– he has just over half of the number he needs. the standard practice is usually to throw away old bolts and to refit windows with new bolts provided with the screen. however, time is short, he’s due to finish for the day, and he suspects that if he goes to find more bolts there will be delays and he won’t be able to finish on time. in addition he’ll be late for his date, and he wants to make a good impression. he knows that other members of staff sometimes re-use old bolts when they’re short of parts. is using the old bolts compatible with showing due respect to life, law and the public good?

1 Cara's clients, Emily and Dave, have just had a baby and she would like to do something nice for them. She signs them up for a baby registry that sends them a small gift. Emily and Dave will be sent information and service lists that are geared toward helping new parents. She provided their names, address and phone numbers so that they will not miss any of the activities provided in the package. Has Cara dealt with her clients appropriately? NUYLOTNQhObm1bEVKUTO90 a0 Cara did not protect her clients' privacy when she shared their personal information with the baby registry. O Cara should not make this a regular practice. Her clients will begin to expect gifts and she will not be able to sustain this. CO Cara should have set up an appointment to re-evaluate her clients' needs now that they have had a baby. 40 Cara's gift is very thoughtful and will help to build a relationship with her clients.

The platters, a rock-and-roll group that had many hits in the late 1950s, has undergone many personnel changes since that era. However, a group performing under that name is still touring the country giving concerts. The group would like to stop in Detroit, Michigan, on its current tour. An “oldies” radio station, WDMI, is in charge of making the arrangements.   The station has listed activities that must be completed prior to the concert in the table. Times are in weeks. Use PERT/CPM to find the critical path.
