supply chain

It is important to understand all of the functions within a particular supply chain. Although most supply chains do have similar functions, the structure and elements can vary greatly. Therefore, it is important for you to not only be able to identify the various functions within a supply chain, but also how these connect and are managed.
This week, you will add 2 additional sections to your Supply Chain Process Improvement Proposal. The first will detail the various functions that are in typical supply chains and what functions are in the supply chain of the company you have chosen to study. The second part will explain third-party logistics services (3PLs), whether the company you have chosen uses 3PLs, and how 3PLs would or do benefit the company you chose to study.
Part 1
Create Section 3 of your Supply Chain Process Improvement Proposal: Organizations and Functions.

  • Describe and discuss the various organizations and functions within the supply chain.

Part 2
Create Section 4 of your Supply Chain Process Improvement Proposal: Third-Party Logistics (3PL).

  • Explain how 3PL services are used in your company and how these could be or are used to improve the supply chain for your chosen company.

Your instructor will provide feedback. Use this feedback to improve your plan and prepare your final Supply Chain Process Improvement Proposal.

Business essay

The Chairwoman of Board of Directors has selected you to lead the effort to create an international internship program for your organization. You will be leading a cross-cultural virtual team, including the vice president (VP) of human resources and department heads from all areas of the organization from its locations throughout the United States.

Macroeconomics Paper

Assignment Steps 
 
Please use the National Bureau of Economic Research for your material and also usepeer-reviewed sources.
 
Develop a 1,500 word economic outlook forecast that includes the following:
 
Provide a five year history of the “Big Three” macro economic variables (GDP Growth, Unemployment Rate, and Inflation Rate). and compare to *a* forecast for the next five years.
 
Discuss how fiscal and monetary policies can influence economic growth, unemployment, and inflation.
 
Based on your above findings discuss whether the US fiscal or monetary policies should be changed. If you feel they should be changed provide your reasoning; if you feel they should not be changed provide your reasoning.
 
What do you feel is the most significant macro economic problem currently facing the United States? Provide your reasoning for your conclusion.
 
Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. 
 
Additional Info:

The primary focus of this assignment is to understand the impact of Fiscal and Monetary Policy on GDP. This assignment will help students develop an understanding of what money is, what forms money takes, how the banking system helps create money, and how the Federal Reserve influences the quantity of money. Note – there are limits to how much control over the bank system the Federal Reserve can force. The banks are the major source of money creation in a boom period, because of lending, and during a recession the Federal Reserve can’t force them to make loans, hence the effective money supply can shrink even while the Federal Reserve is engaging in significant expansionary policies. The past decade shows us there is almost no direct relationship between these money supply quantity and inflation. This partially explains why we saw effectively zero inflation during the largest period of Federal Reserve Expansionary Monetary Policy in the history of the economy, during the past decade or so. The IS/LM model clearly shows this is not the case.  At a minimum three additional factors must be accounted for: 1) productivity growth, 2) population growth, and 3) Agg. Demand/Agg. Supply imbalances. Students will review the basic concepts macroeconomists use to study open economies and will address why a nation’s net exports must equal its net capital outflow.  Students will focus on the effect of Fiscal and Monetary policy on GDP.
