Global Operations Strategy and Process Selection in Toyota

For this discussion, read the library article “What Is Strategy?” by Porter (1996) and review the case study Toyota: The Accelerator

Crisis (2010) by Greto, Schotter, and Teagarden. Then, respond to the following questions:
•Describe the four basic types of production processes. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? When should each be used?
•Consider the Porter article in the context of the Toyota accelerator crisis. ?Porter claims that operational effectiveness is not a

strategy. Why was operational effectiveness such a focus at Toyota, prior to the recall crisis?
?What are the downsides of lean manufacturing?
?Throughout the recall situation, has Toyota successfully enacted the principles espoused by “the Toyota Way”? What has the company done

well, and where is there room for improvement?
?In pursuing its aggressive global expansion, what tradeoffs has Toyota made? How effectively has the company managed the tension between

global standardization and local responsiveness? Have the company’s value chain activities been managed effectively?
?Had Toyota sacrificed quality and customer focus at the expense of extreme cost reductions?
?What role has Toyota’s supply chain and keiretsu structure played in the recall?
?What lessons can other companies take from Toyota’s crisis?

We used a small toy car and used it on the ramp

We created a ramp. We used a small toy car and used it on the ramp. We designed the ramp so that the car stops at exactly 24″(2 feet) and 48″(4 feet)from the end of the ramp. We performed 10 runs on the ramp and got results.( ex. I one of the results says -4,it means the car stopped 4 inches away from reaching 24 inches or 2 feet.). On the report, on the cover page include a one paragraph summary of the results and methodologies. in the report, include sufficient information so that an engineer could nearly duplicate your results. Also provide suggestions for improvement to the given tests( the ramp and car), etc.)

In this lab, you will determine how an invasive species—the zebra and quagga mussel—affects other species in the freshwater lake. Use the

animation to help you come up with an answer to the following:
• Why do you see increases and decreases in the invasive species population?
• What are the implications associated with these alterations to the ecosystem as a whole?
The Effects of Zebra and Quagga Mussels Introduced into a Freshwater Lake
As you have learned, population dynamics are caused by the biotic potential of the population and the effects of environmental resistance.

When there is minimal environmental resistance impacting a population, it will exhibit a population explosion. One reason for minimal

resistance could be factors that no longer regulate a population (e.g., predator decline or resource increases). Another reason for a

population explosion is the introduction of an invasive species. Invasive species are species foreign to an ecosystem and are not

immediately regulated by the environmental restraints of the particular ecosystem that they invade. This in turn allows their populations

to grow seemingly uncontrolled and to displace other indigenous populations. Examples of such an invasive species into North America are

dreissenid mussels, commonly known as zebra and quagga mussels. Their introduction into the Great Lakes has caused economic hardship and a

reorganization of the ecosystem. This has led, in part, to pollution-causing effects that can be linked to an alga known as Cladophora.
Ecosystems are webs of intricately balanced interactions, what happens when a new species is introduced that uses a disproportionate share

of the ecosystem’s resources?
Using the M.U.S.E. link, review the background information and animation to complete your report.

The interplay between collectivization and technology in the films

Write a 1,000 word essay exploring the interplay between collectivization and technology in the films we have watched for the course.

Explore the representations of individuals and groups. Your paper should address films in at least two national cinemas and explicate the

role of film in negotiating social and political crises. Consider the ways in which machinery (including that of the sound film) functions

on behalf of distinct ideological projects

reminder : please focus on the guideline and take the two films I list as reference to discuss two national cinema. One of the films is

from soviet union (enthusiasm), and another one is from German. Moreover, this is not a films review; hence, please focus on the idea of

collectivization, technology, machinery, and the relationship between individual and groups that guideline mentioned. Also, please take

the file I upload as reference and cite them in the article.

Key Research Questions
To begin with, we will be looking at what social media platforms are available to IS, why they use these different platforms and how they

manage to use these new technologies undetected. Secondly, this paper will aim to answer the question as to if the use of social media by

IS has led to an increase in the number of recruits they aim to target. Thirdly, the paper will discuss how social media portrays IS in

the eyes of the general public. Furthermore an in depth analysis into IS propaganda messages, videos and threats delivered via social

media will be critically examined and conclusions would be reached as to what impact this has on both IS and the world at large.
