1. elow is a process where tasks are assigned to workstations.

a. Fill out the diagram below. Calculate the cycle time and throughput for each workstation. What stage is the bottleneck? What is the throughput for the whole process in units per hour? Include throughput in terms of units per minute and units per hour.

b. Sales and marketing claims that you need to sell 2 more units per hour than the current process produces. Reassign tasks to workstations to produce 2 more units per hour than the current process. You will need to introduce more workstations. How many more workstations do you need? Draw the same diagram as in part a for the new process.

c. Suppose that you can sell the additional 2 units per hour as in part b, but no more. Assume that your operation works 8 hours a day for 250 days a year, each unit has a marginal profit of $25 per unit, and each new workstation costs $200,000. Using your design from part b, in how many years will your investment in workstations break even? Assume a 0% discount rate for future profits and give your answer including one decimal place.

Assignment Description

You will conduct an interview and write a case study analyzing the interviewee’s beliefs on education in the context of the theories and thinkers covered in the course. The final document must be 2,500–3,000 words; include a title page, abstract, and reference page; and use current APA format. You must include 4 scholarly sources.

Specific Guidelines

You will be asked to analyze the statements of another educator in the context of the thinkers covered in this course. Seek out a person of interest and schedule an interview early in the course.

• Identify the person to be interviewed. This person may be a teacher, administrator, or other educational professional working in K–12 or in a higher education environment. The person may not be related to you. Be candid with the person about your task. You will not use real names in your report.
• You must use the first 3 sets of questions (items A–C below), although you may add to or modify them to fit your interview. Use sections A–C (Foundations of Leadership, Critical Issues, Effective Practices) as first-level headings for your paper. You may ask follow-up questions to probe more deeply if you need more detailed responses to better inform your paper.
• Keep in mind that you want to have enough substantive material to write your paper. In the case that a participant cannot identify the philosophical basis of his/her practice as an educator, the recommended approach includes asking questions about practitioner issues in order to understand how he/she approaches problems and real-to-life situations. This will provide you with material for a substantial analysis.
• During the interview:
  • Record the interview if you are able. If not recorded, you must take detailed notes.
  • Be aware of your own bias as you interview. Be sure you are not taking any statements for granted. Question assumptions on your part.
• Writing the Analysis

oThis assignment is designed to introduce you to real case study analysis.

oWrite the case using pseudonyms. Be sure to begin your paper by providing the reader with a description of the subject’s role/context, background of your analysis, and your conclusions.

oAvoid the overuse of direct quotations by summarizing or paraphrasing the participant’s responses.

oEach major heading must contain a brief summary of the participant’s comments along with a thorough analysis. Your analysis is really an examination of the participant’s statements in light of your knowledge of philosophical perspectives in education. This is not merely a summary of the interview; it must be an analysis of the subject’s remarks to the interview questions. Be sure to include specific citations and references to the various people, concepts, and resources addressed in the course textbooks. You are trying to place your subject on the continuum of beliefs. Feel free to be critical.

oYour analysis must include proper citation of at least 4 references.

oYou are being assessed on your ability to summarize and critically think about the subject’s statements, your knowledge of leadership theories and practices, and your writing style (spelling, grammar, punctuation, and current APA format, etc.).
