Assignment

Using your own organisation or a local organisation that you know
well, identify a strategic
operations issue or problem that needs to be addressed. This problem
should be based on
one of the topics you have covered in this subject. Essentially, your
task will be to:

a) Describe the organisation briefly, but well enough for the
assignment examiner to
understand what the organisation does and its relevance to this
assignment

b) Briefly explain the specific operational issue, problem or process
that needs to be
addressed and provide clear details of its function within the
organisation. For
example, this might include:
• a chart or process flow diagram to show the functional relationships of
the
process or problem issue with the rest of the organisation’s workflow
• key objectives and purpose of the operation including your opinion
of its current
and ideal performance (preferably supported by actual performance data)
• opportunities for change and improvement to the process or techniques
being
used now
• resource implications or constraints that need to be considered
• technologies and/or manpower issues involved in the process.

c) Analyse the problem using a concept covered in this subject (this
should be the major
part of your work and your report). (If you believe it is appropriate,
you can use more
than one concept from the subject but bear in mind the word limit
mentioned below.)
In analysing the problem, you should consider:
• the five main performance objectives of operations management;
• changes to performance or outcomes (such as cost, output, quality,
productivity etc);
• potential improvements that you believe can be made;
• relevant theory calculations where possible;
• where possible, any information about the costs involved

d) Provide brief recommendations for improving the process or problem
including
comparisons of your recommendations against the current system, and
details of
changes needed to correct the problem or improve the situation. Bear
in mind that your recommendations should be potentially cost effective
i.e. you
must argue the changes from the point of view of their potential to
improve cost,
quality, output, productivity etc. In other words, do not just provide a
‘wish’ list of
recommendations without considering their practicality.

Informal Proposal

Topic: Informal Proposal
Paper instructions:
I am currently in my 3rd year of electrical engineering technology
program and need a proposal done for a fully automated wet well. I have
already completed the PLC programming just need write up done. Here is
the scenario:

The PLC Assignment Scenario

The Set Up

You were told by an acquaintance at Metro College, a community college in
Nickel Ridge, that the college was looking to automate the currently
manually overseen two pump sewage lift station that is located in one of
its college buildings, the building that most staff has their offices in.
The college has asked for brief but informal proposals from several
independent firms to do the job.

The Current System

The current wet well collects sewage from the Glennys Ford building in a
gravity fed system of piping. The level is monitored using a Johnny ball
system. The system has two pumps that move the sewage out, the first
activated when the level hits a specific number (approximately 25%) the
second when the level hits a second number (approximately 50%). Your
friend at the college tells you that the %-ages are a bit of a guess on
his part but that you will get the numbers in due course. The pumps are
relatively new since they were both replaced recently, one 18 months ago,
currently the lead pump, and the second 4 months ago, currently the lag
pump.

The Corporate Gift

A corporate patron of the college recently gave a gift of equipment to
the college – the patron says that the equipment is all PLC related and
is enough to automate the wet well system. The patron, however, does not
do PLC programming himself, particularly because he is under
investigation in a municipal bribery scandal. No documentation of any
kind was included with the equipment, but the college’s request for
proposal says it includes everything that is needed to do the proposed
job.

What the College Wants

The college has asked for an informal proposal to do the following job:

· Explain the benefits of an automated system
· Inventory and test the donated equipment
· Prepare a set of spec sheets for the “main components”
· Assess if enough equipment is included to do the proposed job
· Write and test the PLC and SCADA programming to do the job
· Give a statement of the length of time and costs related to
doing the proposed job

You note that outlining the problems of the current situation and
outlining the benefits of the proposed project are large parts of what a
proposal does anyway, so you don’t need to include them in the tasks
required to complete the proposed job.

Your Task

Prepare a proposal that meets the college’s wants. Set the proposal up
as a memo formatted report that is addressed to Samuel Davis, Facilities
Manager, Metro College.

Include a clear schedule chart (aka a Gantt chart). (I can do this if it
is to much for you)

Make sure you address the full list of the college’s wants.

Case Analysis

The detailed analysis of the case should start with a one-half page
executive summary with the issue and the major recommendations. It will
then include an introduction, where the students illustrate the problem
faced by the firm and its background, a main section that will provide
the details and evaluate the alternatives, and a conclusion with the
specific recommendations. For each case, I will provide a few questions
to help with analysis. However the write up should not be limited to
answering such questions. I expect the reports to be 8 pages (double-
spaced, 12 point font) maximum, excluding the summary, tables and graphs.
Supporting tables, spreadsheets and graphs (the exhibits) are limited to
10 pages. The exhibits should be referred to in the text of the paper as
they are needed to support the argument being made. Exhibits that are not
needed should not be included and all exhibits should be referenced in
the paper.
The case can be found here:

currency-hedging-2007.pdf

Questions to be answered in the case
• How would you evaluate BMW’s transaction and economic exposure?
• What do you think of BMW’s hedging strategy?
• Would you consider a range of 1.15 to 1.17 USD/Euro to be an
appropriate equilibrium rate? How would you forecast future exchange
rate?
• According to BMW’s net exposure and its hedging strategy, how big do
you think the impact of currency fluctuations is on profits and its stock
market value? How would you quantify it?
• BMW likes to follow a natural hedging strategy for its operations.
How can this strategy help the firm in minimizing its USD exposure?

OUR HISTORY

Reality House was founded 42 years ago, in 1970, with a more limited role
than today: it was to provide local judges, for the first time, with an
alternative sentencing option for first time offenders.

At the time, circuit judges could send these convicted offenders to
prison, usually the state penitentiary, or back onto the streets in the
care of probation officers. Using federal money provided under the Law
Enforcement Assistance Act, our local LEAA committee researched and
established Reality House based on a fledgling experiment in Minnesota.
One of our current Board of Director member, Hank Waters, states that one
of the most interesting and rewarding experiences of his civic life was
service on the LEAA committee under the chairmanship of Judge Frank
Conley and subsequently as a founding member of the Reality House board,
a position he says he is “pleased to occupy to this day”.

With fragile funding and the challenge of selling their dream to judges,
state legislators and other public officials in lawmaking and criminal
corrections fields, Reality House began to do good work and gradually
proved its worth. For the first time, judges had a better option for many
of the fledgling criminals they had to sentence and public budget makers
found good reason to provide funding as part of their corrections
budgets.

The judge could sentence the first-time offender to probation with an
initial experience at Reality House, where serious rules were in effect
and heavy-duty Reality Therapy counseling occurred. A fact of criminal
life is that most youthful first-time offenders were, and still are,
afflicted with drug and alcohol problems. As Hank says, “The idea, of
course, was to divert the burgeoning miscreant from a life of crime and
into productive citizenship.”

The idea proved successful. The original role continues, and Reality
House since has evolved to fill a continuum of criminal justice system
and treatment programming.

The original dream, still being worked out today, was to take care of
local criminal offenders here at home instead of sending them off to
dangerous environments, such as prison. It was believed then, as it is
today, that it would save lives, save money, make society safer and allow
judges to provide more humane, intelligent options for sentencing
OUR PHILOSOPHY

At Reality House Programs, we believe people can change, and we provide
the opportunity. We also believe in the importance of proving
opportunities for the offender to interact with the community, while
meeting their responsibilities and obligations to the criminal justice
system and community.

Reality House Programs has an ethical responsibility to the participants
and community it serves. Our program philosophy; through our mission,
vision, and core approach; provides a consistent and ethical framework
for our participant services and business practices. To support ethical
operations and fair treatment of participants Reality House Programs
operates according to a policy of ethical behavior. Our ethical practices
serve to ensure that Reality House Programs, Inc. conducts its business,
and participant care practices, in an honest, decent, and proper manner.
Our core approach is fostering participant acceptance of self-
responsibility and promoting a motivation to change.
