She signs them up for a baby registry that sends them a small gift. Emily and Dave will be sent information and service lists that are geared toward helping new parents. She provided their names, address and phone numbers so that they will not miss any of the activities provided in the package. Has Cara dealt with her clients appropriately? NUYLOTNQhObm1bEVKUTO90 a0 Cara did not protect her clients' privacy when she shared their personal information with the baby registry. O Cara should not make this a regular practice. Her clients will begin to expect gifts and she will not be able to sustain this. CO Cara should have set up an appointment to re-evaluate her clients' needs now that they have had a baby. 40 Cara's gift is very thoughtful and will help to build a relationship with her clients. NUTYks10TNRUQ2h0bmkbEVKUTO90Consider a law firm with 15 lawyers and 3 paralegals. The firm is struggling to keep up with the high demand for its services, particularly during the busy litigation seasons. It has been observed that the lawyers spend a significant amount of their time on administrative tasks that could potentially be handled by paralegals. After a careful study of the work distribution within the firm, it was determined that 35% of the activities carried out by the lawyers are administrative in nature. Given that each lawyer works 50 hours a week, please determine: (a) How many additional paralegals should the firm hire to handle the administrative tasks currently performed by the lawyers? (b) If the lawyers' time spent on administrative tasks is redirected to billable legal work, by what percentage could the firm potentially increase its billable hours?

The manufacturing process consists of assembling two plastic lenses (produced by the firm's plastic molding depart- ment) into a finished frame (purchased from an outside supplier). The company is interested in using material requirements planning to schedule its operations and has asked you to prepare an example to illustrate the technique. The firm's sales manager has prepared a 10-week sales forecast for one of the more popular sunglasses (the Classic model) for your example. The forecast is 100 units per week. Spencer has customer orders of 110 units, 80 units, 50 units, and 20 units in weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The sunglasses are assembled in batches of 300 units. Presently, three such batches are sched- uled: one in week 2, one in week 5, and one in week 8.

Production Schedule is a Mess Henry Gantt greatly contributed to the classical management system method. He created none other than: The Gantt chart, and also, the task and bonus system- still used to this day. The task and bonus plan which rewarded workers for faster work by paying them higher wages to get the job done before the standard time, and their pay was docked if it took them longer to complete the task than standard. The Gantt chart ensured companies and organizations with understanding of basic structure and priority of events. I believe in problem number two, Gantt could contribute his methods that he created and fix the production schedule with a simple Gantt chart for the employees to follow, as the production schedule is a mess. It is not clear which projects should be completed first to ensure products are being delivered to customers on time. With this issue fixed, the deliveries would be on time, motivation would rise, and productivity would follow suit. When…
