Compare and Contrast Operations Management in a Product Sector Organization and a Service Sector Organization.

By
Select a service sector organization and a manufacturing sector organization. Describe operations management for each organization in terms of the supply chain; the value-creating processes of operations; the value provided by operations to customers; and the relationship between operations and the overall mission of the organization. Then compare and contrast operations management in these two organizations.
(To help you differentiate between a service sector organization and a manufacturing sector organization for purposes of this assignment, note the following:
A service sector organization may provide some manufactured products with its services. For example, a patient receiving surgical services may also receive titanium pins in his or her knee. Similarly, a manufacturing sector organization may include some services with its products. For example, a plane manufacturer may include a pilot training course with a new plane.
In each case, however, either the service or product element is a dominant part of the overall value provided to the customer. This is why surgery is considered to be in the service sector and airplane manufacturing is considered to be in the manufacturing sector.
Another way of looking at this is that a “good” is tangible and has physical properties, whereas a “service” is intangible and has no physical properties.)
Your paper must contain the following titled sections:
  • Introduction: Explain the purpose or thesis of the paper; specifically identify the two organizations that you have selected; and explain how the body of the paper is arranged to support the purpose of the paper.
  • Service Sector Organization: You must name the organization in this section and briefly describe it. An in-text citation must appear in this section that refers to a source in your list of references that can be accessed by the reader to learn more about this organization:
    • Supply Chain
    • Operations
    • Value Provided to Customers
    • Relationship between Operations and the Organization’s Mission
  • Manufacturing Sector Organization: You must name the organization in this section and briefly describe it. An in-text citation must appear in this section that refers to a source in your list of references that can be accessed by the reader to learn more about this organization:
    • Supply Chain
    • Operations
    • Value Provided to Customers
    • Relationship between Operations and the Organization’s Mission
  • Comparative Analysis of Operations Management in both Organizations
  • Conclusion
  • References
The length of the paper must be at least four pages, not inclusive of the title and reference pages. References must include the course textbook, two additional scholarly references, and one reference for each of the organizations described (which do not have to be scholarly references). The paper must be formatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements. Be clear, concise, and focused.

1.Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Replace hardcoded strings “Zero”, “One”, “Two”, “Three” in the ArrayList based on user typed input (use Scanner or JOptionPane classes). The user will be prompted for the String to be stored in the ArrayList and then hit enter. The user will be able to continue to add items to the ArrayList until they just hit enter without typing anything. Once the user does this (hits enter without typing anything), the program will display all of the elements of the ArrayList, both the index and String values, in a table. It will do this via a single loop making use of an iterator method. 2. Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Use a Try/Catch block so that the exception is caught and the program exits a bit more gracefully. Save this file as TryCatch.java. (Be sure to rename the Public Class accordingly.) Starting with the provided code again (without the Try/Catch block), fix the code so that

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND THE EARLY REPUBLIC

By
Assignment Overview The American Revolution and Independence As we saw in the Module Overview, there were numerous factors that ultimately led to revolution and independence. In this second Case assignment, you’ll be researching and writing about some of those factors. Case Assignment Write a 3 to 4-page essay identifying at least FOUR factors which led to colonial independence. In your paper, explain which events triggered discord between the colonies and the Mother Country. Be sure to do some research on your own and use other resources to analyze the thought-processes which sparked independent thinking. The best way to approach and organize the paper would be to create a title for each event and then discuss your findings. For example; for the first one you could write, “Event 1, The Seven Years War”. This would be followed by your narrative on how this war led to independence. The rest of the paper would follow this pattern. Assignment Expectations Use concepts from the background
