Production and Service Systems Planning

A convenience store chain attempts to be responsive and provide customers what they need, when they need it, where they need it. What are some different ways that a convenience store supply chain can be responsive? What are some risks in each case?
Seven-Eleven’s supply chain strategy in Japan can be described as attempting to micro-match supply and demand using rapid replenishment. What are some risks associated with this choice?

Career Counseling and Early Adult DevelopmentConsider individuals in the early adult phase of development (ages 24–34). In what ways might career planning programs be particularly helpful for this population of adults who find themselves at crossroads in their career decisions?

Career Counseling and Early Adult Development
The purpose of this discussion is to think through how aspects of human development impact the effectiveness of counseling programs, focusing on how those programs might be adapted for people at particular stages in their lives.

Consider individuals in the early adult phase of development (ages 24–34). In what ways might career planning programs be particularly helpful for this population of adults who find themselves at crossroads in their career decisions?
For your initial post in this discussion, imagine that you are in a position to develop a career planning program for young adults (ages 24–34) in your specialization. Create an outline of how you might go about each of the following steps in developing this program, pointing out how your approach would specifically address the needs of those considering a new career or career change:
· Planning the program.
· Organizing the program at the beginning
· Determining the initial requirements to implement the program (people, funds, space, approvals, et cetera).
· Projecting the resources required to administer the program on a daily and weekly basis.
· Evaluating the success of the program, including the kinds of results you would look for to measure its effectiveness.
Response Guidelines
Read the initial posts of your peers and respond substantively to at least one learner whose post resonates with you. Focus on the ways in which this learner has attempted to address the needs of young adults who are considering their career directions. Point out those aspects that you believe are likely to be most successful with this audience, and explain why you think they would succeed. Then, make one additional suggestion that you believe would enhance some aspect of the program steps outlined by the learner.

U.S. construction of the Canal-Explain how the United States ultimately obtained permission from Columbia to build the Canal

Based on the readings by Misa, Pepper, and David McCullough’s film on the Panama Canal, as well as the in-class presentations, please discuss the following four (4) points in a well-written essay
1. Based on the account provided by McCullough in his film, it is clear that construction of the Panama Canal was an imperial project undertaken by the United States government. Before U.S. construction of the Canal could begin, it was necessary to draft a Treaty with Columbia granting the U.S. a legal right to proceed with the project. Explain how the United States ultimately obtained permission from Columbia to build the Canal.
2. The advent of what has come to be called the “second” industrial revolution resulted in an increased interconnected relationship between the institutions of science, commercial industry, higher education, and government. This growing interconnected relationship between these institutions fundamentally changed them in a number of ways. Identify at least three (3) changes that took place in one or all of these institutions that stemmed from this interconnected relationship.
3. The development of the Haber-Bosch process allowed scientists to synthesize nitrogen. This development resulted in immediate and long-term political, economic, and environmental impact. Identify at least three (3) consequences that were a direct result of the Haber-Bosch process.
4.Both William Pepper and Dr. Benjamin Spock argue that the United States is responsible for the lives of those injured or killed by chemical weapons in Vietnam. Review the Code of Ethics posted on the website for the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (you can access it via the following link: https://www.aiche.org/about/code-ethics). Is there anything in the Code that explicitly prohibits or condones the involvement of chemical engineers in the production of chemical weapons? Do you think that the Code should be amended in any way, or do you think it is sufficient as is?

Stress, Arousal and Anxiety-What are strategies that you can apply to reduce stress and anxiety and maintain appropriate arousal levels

Stress, and Anxiety
You may also want to use online sources, Google, etc., to research the State Anxiety Test, or the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 . It is a sport-specific state anxiety scale developed by Martens, Vealey, and Burton. The scale divides anxiety into three components: cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety, and a related component-self-confidence. Self- confidence tends to be the opposite of cognitive anxiety and is another important factor in managing stress. Complete this scale, meaning, fill out the questionnaire for yourself before a practice, workout or meaningful event. If you are not currently active in competition, recall such situations as clearly as possible and record and report your responses in this initial forum post, then answer the following questions in your forum post:
1. Do you tend to be an individual that struggles with stress and anxiety?
2. If not, explain your general arousal personality.
3. What are possible factors that influence your arousal, stress, and anxiety status before an event?
4. What are strategies that you can apply to reduce stress and anxiety and maintain appropriate arousal levels?
