Assignment Description
Graduate Programs Discussion Boards
Discussion Boards (DB) are a key component of online learning. They foster active participation of learners and dialog with fellow learners and instructors. Graduatelevel
courses
require learners to create original posts to course DBs and to engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the course. Original posts and responses
should be substantive, and if references are made to the works of others, APA guidelines for intext
citations and references apply.
Minimum Weekly DB Expectations
Post an original and thoughtful Main Post to the DB prompt.
Respond to at least 2 other posts from learners and/or the instructor (Response Posts).
The first contribution (Main Post or Response Post) must be posted before midnight (Central time) on Friday of each week.
Two additional responses are required after Friday of each week.
For DB assignment prompts with a Part One and Part Two, Part One should be addressed in the first week of the unit with a Main Post and minimum of 2 Response
Posts, and Part Two should be addressed in the second week of the unit with a Main Post and a minimum of 2 Response Posts.
More on DBs
At the end of each unit, DB participation is assessed based on level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion. DBs allow learners to learn through
sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content. Because it is not possible to engage in twoway
dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB are
accepted after the end of the unit. Learners must demonstrate an appropriate depth of understanding of course content to receive credit for having submitted substantive posts.
Typically, this is achieved with 3–4 strong paragraphs for Main Posts and 2–3 strong paragraphs for Response Posts.
Discussion Board Question
In your role as project manager for the PROVISION Healthcare Technologies project, you report to the Director of Product Development, Terry Smith. Terry has forwarded you a
few emails about the project and asked you to schedule an overview meeting with the project stakeholders.
Go to the discussion board and describe who you will invite to the meeting. Be sure to identify the stakeholders of the project, provide your rationale for selecting each role, and
describe any potential conflicts that may arise as the organizational system of the company conflicts with the needs of the project.
In your own words, post a substantive response to the Discussion Board question(s) and comment on other postings. Your response should address the DB
question(s) and move the conversation forward. You will be graded on the quality of your postings, including mastery of the concept as well as critical thinking. If
asked for your opinion, do not simply state that it is a good or bad idea; elaborate on your reasons and argument. Include enough detail to substantiate your
thinking as well as your position on the questions or comments.

The Case of Maria Elena: What is the ethical thing for you to do?

/in /by

The Case of Maria Elena

This case was developed by Tom Shanks, S.J., director of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics. Maria Elena is a composite drawn from several real people, and her story represents some of the ethical dilemmas behind the immigration issue.

Maria Elena has cleaned your house each week for more than a year. You agree with your friend who recommended her that she does an excellent job and is well worth the £30 cash you pay her for four hours’ work. You’ve also come to like her, and you think she likes you, especially as her English has become better and you’ve been able to have some pleasant conversations.

Over the past three weeks, however, you’ve noticed Maria Elena becoming more and more distracted. One day, you ask her if something is wrong, and she tells you she really needs to make additional money. She hastens to say she is not asking you for a raise, becomes upset, and begins to cry. When she calms down a little, she tells you her story:

She came to the United Kingdom six years ago from Columbia with her child, Miguel, who is now 7 years old. They entered the country on a visitor’s visa that has expired, and Maria Elena now uses a National Insurance number she made up.

Her common-law husband, Luis, came to the United Kingdom first. He entered the country illegally, after paying smugglers £1500 to hide him under piles of grass cuttings for a six-hour truck ride across the border. When he had made enough money from low-paying day jobs, he sent for Maria Elena. Using a false passport, Luis now works as a busboy for a restaurant, which withholds part of his salary for taxes. When Maria Elena comes to work at your house, she takes the bus and Luis baby-sits.

In Columbia, Maria Elena and Luis lived in a small village where it was impossible to earn more than £3 a day. Both had O-Levels educations, common in their village. Life was difficult, but they did not decide to leave until they realized the future would be bleak for their child and for the other children they wanted to have. Luis had a cousin in London who visited and told Luis and Maria Elena how well his life was going. After his visit, Luis and Maria Elena decided to come to the United Kingdom.

Luis quickly discovered, as did Maria Elena, that life in London was not the way they had heard. The cousin did not tell them they would be able to afford to live only in a run-down three-room apartment with two other couples and their children. He did not tell them they would always live in fear of Immigration Authorities raids.

After they entered the United Kingdom, Maria Elena and Luis had a second child, Jose, who is 5 years old. The birth was difficult because she didn’t use the NHS system or welfare for fear of being discovered as undocumented. But, she tells you, she is willing to put up with anything so that her children can have a better life. “All the money we make is for Miguel and Jose,” she tells you. “We work hard for their education and their future.”

Now, however, her mother in Columbia is dying, and Maria Elena must return home, leaving Luis and the children. She does not want to leave them because she might not be able to get back into the United Kingsom, but she is pretty sure she can find a way to return if she has enough money. That is her problem: She doesn’t have enough money to make certain she can get back.

After she tells you her story, she becomes too distraught to continue talking. You now know she is an undocumented immigrant, working in your home.

What is the ethical thing for you to do?

Suggest why human authorization is required to create a production order, instead of allowing MRP to create a production order directly. Make sure your answer is at least 75 words, in clear, well-written English.

/in /by

Production requests versus production authorizations:
Figure 6.16 on page 197 of the Magal & Word text shows the production process. In a typical manufacturing environment, most planned orders are created automatically by MRP (which the text refers to as “materials planning”), and then one or more persons will convert planned orders to production orders. MRP never creates production orders. We can think of planned orders as “requests” or “suggestions” as to what should be manufactured, and production orders as “authorizations” or “commitments” as to what will be manufactured.

Suggest why human authorization is required to create a production order, instead of allowing MRP to create a production order directly.
Make sure your answer is at least 75 words, in clear, well-written English.

Production requirements:
Suppose you are in the planning department for a bicycle manufacturer. The sales forecast for next week estimates that a volume of 90 bicycles will be sold. You currently have 25 bicycles in stock, and no other sales orders as of yet. Assuming that the forecast is reasonable, and assuming that you will be able to make all the bicycles you need, how many bicycles must you plan to make? If you have 32 tires in stock, and none already on order, how many tires will you have to purchase in order to be able to carry out the planned production? Show your calculations and explain your answer.

Make sure your answer is at least 75 words, in clear, well-written English.
