There are two DQ that needs to be answered in atleast two paragraphs no Cover and please use book which I will provide and scholarly references I text citations
1.Session Three -Discussion 1
watch the VIDEO CASE (Noodles & Co) posted on this module. Make sure to analyze each figure and table with diagrams and applications throughout the chapter. Post the following:
Create using a spreadsheet a FLOW PROCESS CHART based on the steps presented in the video NOODLES & CO. Reproduce the same format. This chart lists the different steps of a business or a process. Also, include a column with the possible times (in seconds or minutes, for this case) for each step, similar to Figure 7.6. For instance, your process flow chart may start with:
FLOW PROCESS CHART FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE NOODLES & CO
DETAILS OF ACTIVITY TIME Operation/movement/inspection/delay/storage
Greeting the Customer 5 sec Operation
Receiving Order 30 sec Operation
The video provides a detail description of activities that involves action (operation), moving to other locations or to interact with others (movement), quality and receiving orders (inspection)... and the like. You will find the sequence of steps needed to serve the customer (a total of 5 minutes, according to the video) and estimate times in detail.
2. Session Three - Discussion 2
explains and describes the different criteria and methods for facility location. One of these methods is Linear Programming. I have attached . Also, review the Site Selection Grows Up article on page 352. Respond to at least two postings from your classmates. For this week and to allow for additional time, your first post is due by Friday night.
Linear Programming Application (for your information and possible use in our application project)
Read Solving LP Models using MS Excel on page 838. Open the link below. Follow the steps explained in the book (page 838) or follow the INSTRUCTIONS posted on the spreadsheet below. Most spreadsheet may not have SOLVER activated. Try to interpret these results and play with the SOLVER application and this problem a couple of times to see how the data changes if you change the dollar figures (first set of data). You may decide to use LP for your project.
