Suppose, instead of planning only for two products to be made at one plant, LOGO has to plan production volumes for ten products. Furthermore, LOGO now operates two different factories, and it has the option to make any product on either or both (or neither) of the two plants. The necessary input data is available on the spreadsheet “LOGO Production Expanded.xlsx Download LOGO Production Expanded.xlsx.” Similar to the two-product, one-plant problem discussed in class, we are given the following information about each of the ten products: the maximum demand that LOGO can sell, selling price, raw material cost, and the number of molding and packing machine-hours required to produce per unit. For each of the two plants, we are given information on the number of molding and packing machine-hours available, and the operating costs per machine hour. Using this information, build an optimization model to determine LOGO’s optimal production plan for its ten products in the two plants.

Discussion Topic
Starbucks  is a worldwide brand that is known for creating a community coffee  house feel with ethically sourced coffee. Let’s look at the Factors of  Production for Starbucks. The coffee chain needs land for the coffee  shops, capital to purchase the coffee and the machinery to produce  specialty coffee drinks, the labor of the baristas who have the  knowledge of how to make the specialty drinks, and finally the  entrepreneur Howard Schultz. Howard Schultz provided the last factor of  production by being the first person to capitalize on a market for  coffee houses and connecting among the other four factors of  production. 
In your original post, answer the following:
Now  it’s your turn. You own a donut shop right next door to Starbucks.  Answer the following questions about your donut shop and the factors of  production: 
Explain (like the Starbucks example) how your donut shop would use the Factors of Production. 
Which of the following factors of production will be most important to your business? Explain why you chose this factor. 
Land
Labor
Capital
Entrepreneurship
Knowledge
Technology is part of the ‘Knowledge’ factor of  production. Technology helps to increase the efficiency of the factors  of production. How would you use technology in your donut shop?

WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT:
Location, location, location! Where a firm intends to build its facilities is of strategic importance. Before the location decision can be made, many factors must be taken into consideration. In this assignment, you will explore the seven major factors that affect location decisions.
Review the module resources associated with location strategies. Identify a company that currently has no international locations. Assume that the company wishes to expand into a foreign market and you are the chairperson on the location selection committee. It is your job to recommend the best region or country in which to locate.
MODULE RESOURCE:
The small country of Luxembourg decided a few years ago that they wanted to become the leader in space mining. Now, space mining is many years away from being practical, but Luxembourg wanted to get started, and the country is offering incentives to companies to locate in Luxembourg. On the surface this may sound crazy; there is no way that firms relocating to Luxembourg will make any money in the short (and most likely mid) term. So what is in it for everyone? Well, the firm receives startup funding to initiate ‘space’ research, and Luxembourg gains the influx of highly educated people working on space research. There will be many innovations that this partnership will have that will create spin-off firms for products that can be used today, which in turn will increase the source of taxes for Luxembourg and revenue for the firms.
GRADING REQUIREMENTS:

Include the following:
Provide a brief overview of your selected company (~1 paragraph).
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of each of the seven major factors that affect location decisions and how they will affect your chosen firm.

Include a title and reference page, and at least two peer-reviewed references.
Save your assignment using a naming convention that includes your first and last name and the activity number (or description). Do not add punctuation or special characters.
Your paper will automatically be evaluated through Turnitin when you submit your assignment in this activity.

Review the Writing Rubric for detailed grading criteria.

 
Imagine that you are the administrator of a midsize long-term care facility with an outdated information system and you have been given the task to plan and manage the integration of a new database into the existing system.
Suggest two potential problems that could occur with the integration.
Recommend one measure that you as the administrator could take in order to make sure that the integration does not compromise your facility’s current information system.

In this activity, you will have the opportunity to examine how using critical analysis tools influences your interactions with others and your understanding of the role of diversity in society. You will also consider how the analysis of your topic might have turned out differently if you looked at it through a different lens. Completing this activity will result in a draft of the reflection section of your project. It also provides an opportunity to obtain valuable feedback from your instructor that you can incorporate into your project submission. 
In this activity, you will work on the second part of the reflection section of your project. First, you will explain how the analysis of your topic in diversity may have been different if you had used one of the other general education lenses. Next, you will explain how critically analyzing diversity positively affects your interactions with people. Finally, you will describe how this course has impacted your understanding of the role of diversity in society. 
You are not required to answer each question below the rubric criteria but may use them to better understand the criteria and guide your thinking.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Integrate reliable evidence from varied sources throughout your paper to support your analysis.
It is important to draw from a more diverse pool of perspectives from varied sources to support the analysis. This is different from the Citations and Attributions rubric criterion.
Reliable evidence from varied sources should be interwoven throughout the paper itself, while citing and attributing sources will be represented as APA in-text citations and a reference list at the end of your work.
You will be evaluated on both criteria.
Explain at least one way in which your analysis might have been different if you had used one of the other general education lenses to analyze your topic.
This should be a brief (3–5 sentences) reflection about how using the language and perspective from a different lens would shift your view of your topic.
Explain how critically analyzing diversity adds value to interactions with people in a variety of contexts.
Think about ways in which individual conversations are strengthened by a greater awareness of diversity. Consider including an example from your life.
Describe how this course has helped you understand the role of diversity in society.
Consider how having a better understanding of concepts such as bias, intersectionality, culture, and identity contributes to your perceptions of diversity in society. Also, how might your critical analysis skills impact how you approach topics of diversity?
Submit your short paper as a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA style.
