Managing Inventory, management homework help

/in /by

Introduction
The costs associated with inventory are holding costs and ordering costs. Inventory control systems are used to control the level of inventory by determining how much to order and when to order. This helps to manage the costs associated with inventory – ordering, holding, and shortage costs. In this discussion, apply some of the management concepts and techniques from Chapter 9 to the inventory that you manage in your personal life.

Instructions
For this assignment, compose your response to the following questions:

  • Provide an example of inventory that you manage in your home life, such as computer supplies. Estimate how much it costs you to hold this inventory.
  • Estimate the ordering and shortage costs (shortage costs may not be financial ones).
  • How often do you replenish this inventory, and which of the inventory systems does this most closely resemble?
  • Mentally apply a different system. What would be the pros and cons?

Video #8_ResortQuest VFT_This is due by Thursday, July 19th by 8pm CST

Lisa Price-Howard

99 unread replies.99 replies.

This is due for initial post by Thursday, July 19th by 8pm CST and respond to at least 2 other classmates by Sunday, July 22nd by 8pm CST.

This week I am going to take you on a tour with me of the ResortQuest’s Call Center, located in Ft. Walton Beach, FL. This company is owner by Wyndham Vacation Rentals and is a vacation rental property management company. That means that they have multiple options for guests to book from one bedroom condominiums up to multi-million dollar luxury homes. I have been affiliated with this company since the year of 2000, and they provided me with the opportunity to consult for them while I was able to go back to grad school. The areas that this call center represents is the Northwest Florida region (Panama City Beach westward to Gulf Shores, AL) and Orlando, FL and a few areas in South FL.

A former HSTM student was our tour guide and she is still working in group sales. As you go through this tour, please notice the different departments and try to figure out how they all intertwine. This is a for-profit company, so generating revenue, increasing sales (revenue), & seeking new business development is first and foremost for all departments.

This is the last video of the course & one I have just finished and haven’t used in the past!

Enjoy!

Case Analysis – Performance Management

/in /by

Case Study Analysis

You are a passionate performance management consultant. Because of your expertise in performance management, you have been hired by the CEO of a large company to change a performance appraisal system to a performance management system. Because you are experienced in bringing about such transitions, you know better than anyone else that the success of such transitions depends heavily upon top managerial understanding of and support for the performance management system at hand. Thanks to your skills, you have managed to educate the top management of your client’s firm and correct their mistaken belief of equating performance appraisal with performance management.

Despite the clarified understanding of performance management, the top management team is still a hard sell, and they remain skeptical about whether your proposed performance management system is any different or more effective than the performance appraisal system that the company has had in place for decades. To make matters worse, the prevailing attitude across all levels of the organization seems to be characterized by the commonly heard statement: “We have been doing this for a long time, and it seems to work just fine.” Moreover, one of the managers has challenged your plan by voicing his concern that a performance management system might create or increase the demands (such as excessive paperwork) on managers’ and employees’ time and resources.

(Minimum of 750 words for each question, this excludes the reference section at the bottom from your word count. You are also required to use a minimum of FOUR scholarly external sources references. Use proper APA guidelines, you only have to make reference to the author and year of publication in your in-text reference, but APA guidelines encourage you to also provide the page number).

  1. Make a convincing argument describing two strategies from your readings that would motivate the client firm to implement a performance management system. (750 word minimum)
  2. Provide examples of how implementation of these strategies will outweigh the costs and difficulties associated with the transition from a performance appraisal to a performance management system. (750 word minimum)

Discussion Evaluation and Summary

/in /by

Choose from one of the two topics below (bottled water or carbon offsetting) for this discussion question. Each topic has a few sources associated with it. Before you read posts from your classmates, read all the sources, and practice the “they say”/ “I say” techniques (ideas are available at http://csuglobal.libguides.com/draft) as well as generating in-text citations.

Specifically, for your initial response, summarize the argument or stance of the author in each source, connect the argument to another source, and state your interpretation of the issue in your initial response to the discussion forum.

After you have posted your response, read, and comment on the responses of your classmates. Keep in mind, sometimes writers will indicate more research needs to be done on an issue and there are not necessarily “right” and “wrong” answers here. There may be, however, stronger ways to summarize works, the possibility for different conclusions to be made, and varying methods for incorporating in-text citations.
