Final Paper Integrated Cost And Schdule Control

/in /by

This final research paper must demonstrate the understanding of new learning in project management, and how it relates to cost and value management. This is an assignment with a length of six to eight pages that should integrate the reading, multimedia and class discussions. It is mandatory to have research from the classroom text, as well as at least three sources from the Internet or online library to support your views. Consider the validity of your resources carefully before using them in academic papers. It is recommended to use examples from your professional experience where possible, or build from your learning in the discussion boards. Focus of the Research Paper Use at least one project you have been a team member of, or a project manager for, as an example to contextualize the research topics below: All of the following topics must be addressed in order for the paper to be complete: a) The importance of work packages to support the creation and use of the WBS. b) How to establish a cost and schedule performance measurement baseline. c) Provide examples of EVM and how it will help the PM understand project status. d) How the PM uses project control charts to show project status and represent value. e) Describe an effective change management process to ensure a successful project.

Nuclear            

 

 

 

Part II: Write a 1-page lab report using the following scientific method sections:

  • Purpose
    • State the purpose of the lab.
  • Introduction
    • This is an investigation of what is currently known about the question being asked. Use background information from credible references to write a short summary about concepts in the lab. List and cite references in APA style.
  • Hypothesis/Predicted Outcome
    • A hypothesis is an educated guess. Based on what you have learned and written about in the Introduction, state what you expect to be the results of the lab procedures.
  • Methods
    • Summarize the procedures that you used in the lab. The Methods section should also state clearly how data (numbers) were collected during the lab; this will be reported in the Results/Outcome section.
  • Results/Outcome
    • Provide here any results or data that were generated while doing the lab procedure.
  • Discussion/Analysis
    • In this section, state clearly whether you obtained the expected results, and if the outcome was as expected.
    • Note: You can use the lab data to help you discuss the results and what you learned.

Provide references in APA format. This includes a reference list and in-text citations for references used in the Introduction section.

Give your paper a title and number, and identify each section as specified above. Although the hypothesis will be a 1-sentence answer, the other sections will need to be paragraphs to adequately explain your experiment.

Student Instructions

For each assignment, you will use the M.U.S.E. link to complete the lab.

In this lab, you will see the time progression of impacts associated with either coal-fired or nuclear power plants for electricity generation to help you write up a scientific paper that centers on the following:

· Given that the current 2 primary sources of electricity generation are coal and nuclear power plants, which of these sources is better for human sustainability?

Analyze Energy Sources Lab

Everything people do in their daily lives involves the consumption of resources—particularly energy. With respect to energy, electricity is one of the most important resources consumed and also one of the highest in demand. Traditionally, fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and oil have dominated the U.S. energy mix; however, as it is well-known, carbon-emitting energy sources are very detrimental to the environment and are contributing to global warming. Fortunately, alternative energy resources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power are becoming more efficient and prevalent in today’s energy economy.

Using the M.U.S.E. link, review the background information and gather your data.

While Traveling To Thailand On A Vacation

/in /by

While traveling to Thailand on a vacation, you meet Ms. Jenny Chang, an Asian business executive, in the plane. She is happy to learn that you are the international business development consultant for a multinational company. She becomes interested in your expertise and asks you to work as her company’s consultant for a project involving new business development in Pakistan. Her company has just invented a revolutionary new CAD system for designing and weaving wool carpets that can improve the design and manufacturing productivity significantly. Several patents protect the unique design of this technological system. The CEO has asked you to formulate a recommendation for how to expand into Pakistan. Your choices are (i) to export to Pakistan from the manufacturing plant in Singapore, (ii) to license a Pakistani firm to manufacture and market the computer system in Pakistan and elsewhere, and (iii) to set up a wholly owned subsidiary in Pakistan. Select the best of the three choices for Ms. Chang. Support your recommendation by first evaluating the pros and cons of each alternative for Chang’s company. This assignment is analytical in nature. You are expected to demonstrate your ability to convert your theoretical understanding of the modes of international business entry into practical applications. Therefore, I would hope that you will relate all of your answers to the situation in the case or the scene presented and not provide generic text book answers. Some factors that must be kept in mind to analyze the situation and make your recommendations look practical to your client. As a consultant, you can make some assumptions about the different aspects, such as: 1. What is the nature of the product: brand new high technology consisting of a computerized CAD system. The CAD system that this company wants to promote in Pakistan consists of two major parts: the hardware which is a sophisticated weaving machine, and the software that designs the carpets and runs the weaving machine. How important is it to protect patents and the technology from being copied illegally? How important is the firm’s intellectual property? How do transportation costs affect your decision? 2. Where is it being manufactured now: Singapore. What is the level of manufacturing sophistication in this country when compared with the target country? 3. What is the nature of the target market: What are the relative business barriers in the two countries? Demand? Economic development? Legal system for resolving disputes? Patent protection laws or enforcement of the law? Availability of skilled engineers and workers? Availability of suitable agents or partners? The consideration of the above factors will allow you to produce an excellent report for Ms. Chang.

Only answer ONE of the following. You may choose which one. no word count, format requirement. Couple of paragraphs is fine as long as its solid answer.

 

1 – From the e-Activity, describe how both Newton’s Third Law of Motion and the Bernoulli Effect can explain the generation of a lifting force when air passes over an airfoil.

 

2 – From the e-Activity, assess each of the four main types of airfoils for function and purpose. Note: Be sure to include how each impacts lift and drag, as well as what type of aircraft is best suited for each. Provide two other practical uses for airfoils
