The Root Beer Game Simulation

Forio Group. (2011). Root beer game demo. HBR. Retrieved from http://forio.com/simulation/harvard-root-beer-game-demo/login.htm

Running the simulation involves the following steps:
•Review the Simulation Summary, Your Role, and How to Play sections under the Prepare tab.
•Go to the Analyze tab to run the simulation.
•Submit your weekly order in the Enter Order field; at least 20 rounds are necessary to get a good feel for the problems involved.
•When finished, review your performance under the Dashboard Overview, Inventory and Shipments, Orders and Backlog, and Cost Detail tabs.

It sounds easy, right? Try it and see how good you are at getting root beer to your customers while keeping your inventory and costs low. See

if you can control the bullwhip oscillations of stock-outs followed by over-supply.

To run the simulation several times, you will need log out and start again. The log out command is on the bottom left side of the page.

Spend a maximum of 30 minutes working with the game. Then think about it in conjunction with this module’s readings for perhaps another 15-20

minutes.

address the following questions:
1.What did you do in the simulation? What activities did you engage in? What did you learn about what’s going on?
2.What have you learned about supply chain management from your participation in this simulation?

you will be personally experiencing the importance of supply chain management (SCM) through a simulation exercise. Your job is to fully

understand the components of SCM and how they are broken down into parts. SCM includes the customer as the input and output in the chain

through planning, purchasing, inventory, production, and transportation. SCM ensures that products and services are delivered efficiently using

IT and related applications such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), Oracle, and SAP. More specific applications include customer relation

analysis (CRA), material resource planning (MRP), and inbound and outbound logistic tracking systems, among others. These applications

integrate to the full value chain and interface with customers and suppliers via the Internet and mobile technology.

The challenge of SCM is coordination. Suppliers, manufacturers, sales people, and customers have their own, often incomplete, understanding of

what real demand is. Each group has control over only a part of the supply chain, but each group can influence the entire chain by ordering too

much or too little. Furthermore, each group is influenced by decisions that others are making. This lack of coordination coupled with the

ability to influence while being influenced by others leads to what Stanford’s Hau Lee refers to as the Bullwhip Effect. Decisions made by

groups along the supply chain may actually worsen shortages or overstocks. The bullwhip effect is illustrated by a story Lee tells about how

Volvo found itself with extra inventories of green cars. To get them off the dealers’ lots, Volvo’s sales department offered special deals, so

demand for green cars increased. Production, unaware of the promotion, saw the increase in sales and ramped up production of green cars.

Coordination is not just about communication. Even in supply chains where communication is perfect, manufacturing and procurement delays can

wreak havoc. While customers are ordering, backlogs can build, and it is easy to confuse backlogged orders with increases in demand.

History

 

A. Religion plays a major role in A Man for All Seasons, for Thomas More as well as for
Henry VIII. The personal religious views held by these two central characters appear clear, but how is their approach to religion viewed by you, the viewer

or audience? When applied to these two characters, do you view their religious views positively or negatively? Do you see religion a positive or a

destructive force inthis play? Illustrate your response with specific references to the text.

B. As a concluding exercise, I’d like to return your attention to the sentiments of thesyllabus for this course and encourage you to consider in what ways

and to what degree you found the four readings instructive. In short, how – if at all – have thereadings been worth your while?

The four reading:
1)The Epic of Gilgamesh,Mitchell translation
2) The Joseph Story, Genesis: 35-50
3) Sophocles’ Antigone,Fagle translation.
4) Robert Bolt’s A Man For All Seasons

I stated in the syllabus that our approach to these works would be to examine the actions and behaviors of their central characters, particularly the ways

each addressesthree of Life’s fundamental questions (they can be found in the Syllabus in Course Documents, if you’ve forgotten them). There was also a

fourth question: “To what extent and in what respects are responses to these three questions interrelated – for you today, as well as for theindividuals in

the works considered?”

Consider your response to this prompt a personal one, and approach it as you see fit.

C. Over the decade or so that I’ve been presenting AUCW 180 here at the University, the social structure – as well as the academic structure — of this

country, as well as the University, haschanged rapidly and drastically – as it has, I suspect, in most societies of the WesternWorld.

It seems obvious, though it has not yet been openly acknowledged at most universities,what has long been viewed as “traditional classroom instruction” is

on its last legsthroughout this country. The question before us is what will replace it. Though online courses will apparently be a key player in the

immediate future, will their ubiquitous presence be an enhancement to student engagement, or a curse?

I’ve posed the question to you already: If everything you need for a course such as this isavailable on the Internet, what becomes of the activities of the

traditional class?

What, if anything, worked for you in a class such as this? What might have better worked for you? What changes would you suggest? What should be
changed before I begin my Summer class in June 2018?

For part c just write what is the advantages and disadvantages of the online classes in general and what is the deference between the traditional classes

and online classes.

Research on Reactor Safety Design

Research on Reactor Safety Design
The research paper may pertain to any reactor safety design topic. The emphasis should pertain to your selected topic’s impact on reactor safety.
In this module, please choose the topic and get your instructor’s approval. Also, include a list of references that you will use for the research paper. Your paper should have a minimum of three references. All references should be cited using APA (6th ed.) guidelines.
The following websites may be helpful when trying to find ideas for your research paper:
• United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. (n.d. ).
• United States Department of Energy: Office of Nuclear Energy (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. (n.d. ).
• World Nuclear Organization (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. (n.d. ).

The Doctrines of Salvation and the Church

 

How did the periods of persecution cause the church to think about the doctrines of salvation and the church? That is, if a baptized believer succumbed

to persecution and gave up his/her faith, did the church believe salvation was lost as a result? Also, could the church include Christians who denied

their faith?

Religion and Theology

Reverence for life is a foundational teaching of the Abrahamic traditions. Not surprisingly, then, some groups, such as the U.S. Roman Catholic

bishops, have issued statements denouncing capital punishment, abortion, and euthanasia as violations of the sanctity of life. Do you agree that

these three issues are so inextricably linked that to oppose one of them, you must oppose all three? Why or why not?

Literature review: Individual assignment (2,500 words MAX)
ACCT20074: Assessment Item 1
How do accounting standards change?
It should not surprise you that accounting standards, or even the conceptual framework, are not static documents; they do in fact change a lot over time. How does this occur, and who decides which standards should change and how?
This assignment introduces you to the processes used to inform, debate and decide on changes to accounting standards. The basic questions you may wish to consider are:
• Who pushes for changes,
• How is it done, and
• Who gets to have a say in whether the changes are a good idea or not?
The two parts to the assignment below address this topic of how and why accounting standards change. In Part A, you are to do research and write a literature review into how accounting standards are changed. In Part B, you are required to review a specific instance and write about whether or not that accounting standard should change as the IASB recommends.
Part A Literature Review (1,500 words, 15 marks)
You are to report on the processes used to make changes to Australian accounting standards. You will find a lot of information here at the AASB web site to get you started. The AASB site is a great place to find out information on the Australian accounting standard setting environment, but you will have to read more widely than that.
To address the topic in Part A, you will have to answer these two questions:
1. How does the AASB incorporate changes to international accounting standards (i.e. changes being pushed from the IASB) into the Australian accounting standards?
2. How does the AASB incorporate local, Australian issues into the Australian accounting standards?
You are expected to undertake independent research into this topic, which should include finding information from:
• The IASB and AASB web sites,
• Professional commentary
• News sites
• Academic publications (which may or may not be critical of the processes).
Part B Report (1,000 words, 15 marks)
Please locate and read Exposure Draft ED 116. You will find the current call for comment on this ED at the AASB web site. You can download the ED in PDF format here. Write a report as if you were responding to the call for comment. Your report must cover, as a minimum:
• The likely impact on company accounting if the recommended changes are written into IAS 116/AASB 116.
• The likely impact of the change on countries with higher exposure to manufacturing operations.
• The effectiveness, or fairness, of trying to incorporate a “one size fits all” approach with international accounting standards. In other words, should this proposed change be to international standards, or should national accounting boards such as the AASB modify their own standards if the need arises?
Presentation
You are to present your assignment as a single report. It should be presented according to the following outline:
• Title page
• Executive Summary
• Introduction
• Report body
o Part A literature review
o Part B report
• Conclusions and recommendations
• Reference list.
