Option #2: A Gantt Chart Based Scheduling Lag

You are considering how to refine your project schedule to accommodate newly recognized needs. You will need to revise your project schedule by changing specific network schedule rules (ES, LS, EF, LF, etc.) and incorporating schedule lag. Your assignment is twofold: revise the project schedule based on the data in the Table 1 in Appendix B and the schedule instructions below; then interpret the resultant Gantt chart to answer the questions below.  Your revised project schedule Gantt chart should include WBS ID, task description, schedule information (rules and lag), dates (Start & Finish), and durations as well as a project title and date.

This assignment can be completed using either Microsoft Project or Excel. Although MS Project does a lot of these tasks automatically, if you are using Excel you will need to develop the components separately by creating a table that contains the revised schedule information and an appropriate Gantt depiction as a basis for inclusion in your paper and addressing the assignment questions.

  1. Modify the:
    1.1 Task D predecessor dependency B to a Start-to-Start with 3 day lag.
    1.2 Task G predecessor dependency F to a Start-to-Finish with -2 day lag.
    1.3 All other dependencies should be Finish-to-Start with 0 day lag.
  2. Depict the revised schedule critical path on your Gantt chart.  
  3. Analyze and summarize the impact of the Lag revision on the project schedule; recommend and justify an additional schedule Lag revision for schedule improvement.

Submit a two- to three-page paper with the answers to the above questions. The paper must include an introduction and conclusion. Inset your revised project schedule Gantt chart depiction as an appendix in your paper.  Include a titlepage and a reference page that includes at least two outside references (one of which may include your textbook) to support your responses. The CSU-Global Library is a good place to find these references. Adherence to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements is required.

Supply Chain Management

A supply chain involves all the activities associated with how manufacturing, materials, facilities, personnel, transportation, inventory, and other items flow and a supply chain involves all the activities associated with how manufacturing, materials, facilities, personnel, transportation, inventory, and other items flow and then are transformed into goods and services. Every asset, information, and process is part of the supply chain. For this Discussion, you will be addressing how the supply chain works and possible issues you may encounter.

Within this complex system, operation management responsibilities can be both strategic and tactical.

Examine the place where you currently work, or a prior career, and identify a single service or product produced by your organization.

  1. Identify the different components of the supply chain for that product or service (list them from beginning to end). Be sure to identify which parts of the supply chain are considered “upstream” and “downstream” exchanges.
  2. Based on what you learned from your research, describe a single current issue that might negatively impact a company’s global supply chain.

Sample（Different topic):

Etchells, Pete. “Zombies, Cognitive Dissonance and You.” The Guardian. Guardian News

and Media Limited, 31 Oct. 2013. Web. 9 Mar. 2015.

This article connects killing zombies with cognitive dissonance, a social psychology concept which refers to two conflicting beliefs come together at the same time that you will have to deal with. Etchells considers one’s mental situation of facing a zombie’s attack and to kill it is immediate because he or she is dealing with the conflicting beliefs of killing is wrong and killing as self-defense that happen at the same time. He stresses that one should solve such belief disagreement so there will not be a hassle during a real zombie apocalypse. This piece uses common and casual vocabularies and terms which makes it easily understandable for the public. This article is also highly accessible on the Internet and therefore the general public is the main audience of this article. Instead of looking into the concept of cognitive dissonance in a deeper manner, Etchells gives rather direct and factual information on what connects zombie killing and cognitive dissonance, so the article itself is not really analytical and debatable enough to be argued. However, this article offers a new psychological concept that would be useful for further investigation on the research paper.

ASSIGNMENTS: Assignments with poor grammar, spelling, sentence structure, and/or organization will be
significantly penalized. Business writing skills are very important to career success. Clarity of thought and brevity
are key. Late assignments are generally not accepted; however, under exceptional circumstances as determined by
the Instructor, they may be and are penalized one letter grade point equivalent per day late including weekends and
holidays. A lack of planning on the student’s part does not constitute an emergency for the Instructor necessitating
special consideration. APA style must be used.

TEAMS: Self-managed interdependent work teams are prevalent in business so key portions of the course grade are
evaluated on a group basis. At work, employees do not choose their work teams and are challenged to integrate with
others’ points of view. The Instructor will assign students to groups, noting preferences. It is recommended groups
determine early their objectives and availability for meeting; we will set some time aside in class to facilitate this
process. Groups are expected to work independently from other teams.

Describe the Situation then Answer the Corresponding Questions

Like many people in Florida, I (the designer of this course) believed that love bugs (those pesky insects that suddenly appear in droves twice a year) were the result of a University of Florida scientific experiment gone wrong because I heard that rumor from so many Florida residents.  When I first heard that this “scientific fact” was false, I denied it and tried to hold onto my prior belief (after all, I had heard it from so many people and I had spread the rumor myself – so I couldn’t possibly be wrong). I even discounted a UF website that claimed that it was an urban legend, believing that it was a cover-up attempt by UF. I finally abandoned my belief that love bugs were genetically engineered by UF scientists, after extensively researching the origin of love bugs in the scientific literature (by the way, they simply migrated to Florida from Mexico). 

Think back to a time when you were faced with a similar situation. That is, you were faced with evidence against a certain “scientific fact” that you thought was true and believed in. Describe the situation, and then answer the following questions:

1.  How did you react to/ feel about this contrary evidence? (Did you try to find reasons why you should ignore the contrary evidence and continue to hold onto your belief?)

2.  Given what you learned about critical thinking in this module (“Critical Thinking involves questioning our beliefs even when it makes us uncomfortable”) – what will you do the next time you are faced with evidence against your belief(s)?

Need three separate responses consisting of atleast 250 words each for each forum post.

The forum question is the following:

Integrating examples and ideas from your readings and research throughout the course, what future changes do you foresee in personality assessment instruments and procedures? What changes to do you foresee in the functions and/or applications of personality assessment?

In your peer responses, please reflect on how your peer’s choices, examples, etc. are similar or different from your choices.

Forum post #1

Instruments used by psychologists in order to assess one’s personality will undoubtedly remain the same in relation to a foundational basis, but I do see them being improved upon in an effort to achieve greater accuracy. For example, the Rorschach Inkblot test has been around since 1921 and you don’t really have that kind of staying power in the field unless you have universal validity. While this particular type of personality assessment, otherwise known as one of many projective techniques used by professional personality examiners and test takers across the world, has validity, it isn not absent of criticism and scrutiny, which is great for every test that assesses a person’s innate and consistent traits. Despite its criticisms, the test remains a critical part of personality assessment today.

Another example of my point that certain test will continue to evolve and be a significant part of psychological dealings when it comes to personality assessment is the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale. While the test has been revised four additional times since its inception in the early 1900s, the guiding principles regarding one’s IQ remain the same. Future theorists who reshaped the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale did so four more times, with the latest and fifth revision taking place in 2003 (Aiken and Groth-Marnat, 2006).

While the field of psychology, or any field involving people, their motives, personalities, etc. will undoubtedly continue to implement assessments and test that have a longstanding history into the field, the human being’s innate need to constantly improve on assessments and techniques doesn’t and will not end. In the future, I foresee psychologists, professional personality examiners and the like creating new and innovative ways to assess one’s personality. Of course, some examiners an researchers will opt to improve on already well-known theories, but other’s will create an entire new line of ways to assess a subject or client’s personality. It’s undoubtedly a very exciting time for those of us who seek to assess personality and/or who are very impassioned about the field of psychology and the human mind. I, myself, can say that I am very excited for what the future holds for not just psychology, but mankind regarding the field.

Forum Post #2

When thinking about what future changes that I foresee within the personality assessment instruments and procedures the opportunities are endless. When thinking of personality tests the Sixteen Factor Personality Test has been the one that I lean towards. As an English teacher I gravitate more towards things such as questionnaires and the idea that our personalities can be separated into factors. This test has already been changed into thirty different languages and countries around the world. The test has 185 questions within it that then help to determine which personality factors the participant gravitates towards. This test has been found to have a high reliability and validity from previous research with different groups of participants. I can only see this test becoming either more reliable and valid with slight changes over the course of time, or even being the inspiration for future tests to become even better.

As Aiken (2007) brings up the exact name and number of core aspects of personality is a topic that is quite controversial within the field of psychology. This is still an idea that many argue, that we can put our personalities into different factor groups to truly determine similarities and differences between different personality types. The research and tests within this field have already greatly improved within just a short period of time. The original Sixteen Factor Personality Test has been refreshed and improved upon to create the updated fifth addition currently. Allowing for even more questions within each personality factor to make sure that the results offer an even more accurate result. Original tests were looking into merely 5 big factors of personality and now we can go as far as to expand these factors to sixteen. I foresee the future only allowing us to become even more specific and break these ideas down even further.

Along with this idea I can only imagine that we will also create new types of personality assessments that will combine tests like factor analysis and projective techniques. The future, just like within any field of science, is always changing and we will never truly be done improving assessments and functions over the course of time. Within the future these assessments will only get better and improve upon our previous findings about the human mind. As with any research by using the lessons that many have learned along the way we will improve the future for all.

Forum post #3

Over the past few weeks we have had the opportunity to gain great insight and knowledge on assessments and instruments used that aid in personality and intelligence assessments. We have all researched and read up on information in regard to personality tests and scores. Throughout my own personal research and reading, I have found that a lot of the personality tests that are used, have had multiple revisions made to them. Personally, I think these tests that have already had the multiple revisions made, will continue to improve and change within the near future. Seeing these particular tests are still in use, this means they are popular and have high demand. One intelligence that has had multiple revisions is the Wechsler Intelligence Scale. A personality test that has multiple revisions, or editions, is the Million Clinical Multiaxial Inventory. The Million Clinical Multiaxial Inventory is on its five version, the MCMI-IV. “The newest iteration of Dr. Million’s flagship inventory, the MCMI-IV, is a full reflection of the substantial revision to Million’s Theory introduced in Disorders of Personality – 3rd Edition, that also expands on several advances introduced in the MCMI-III in recent years” (Million, Grossman, & Million, 2015). This personality assessment also features Grossman Facet Scales.

Another assessment that has made tremendous improvements and markings in the psychology field is the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale. This scale/test first originated in the 1900’s through Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon. Since the 1900’s the test has been revised, and/or changed, four separate times. First in 1916 when Lewis Terman put in his input, then again in 1950 when Merrill took the two original forms, and collaborated ideas from each which created yet again, another revised version. Skip ahead to 2003, the test is now on its fifth edition and still as popular as before.

To me, this shows that when researchers, and psychologists, work together and collaborate, they come up with great personality and intelligence tools that are making tremendous efforts and differences in some people’s lives. Everything and everyone within the world are always changing, we can’t use outdated materials when it comes to people’s health and wellbeing, personality/intelligence assessments included. Researchers have to keep up with the times and change things that have been proven not to work, or that need improvements. Everything is evolving, especially the psychology field, like mental health. These tests are all still around today for a great reason, as they are providing great insight in helping people with their own health, but also in other areas and fields, like employment screenings or therapy intake for example.
