The ____ in the House of Representatives can limit the amount of time to debate a bill

Carol is a vice president for sales and marketing at her company. She conducts a survey asking customers their impressions of th

leva [86]

Answer: 1) Carol can use the surve results to . identify the building blocks of competitive advantage and develop strategies to use them to increase profitability and in this way try to get the most out of it.

2) Strategically, managers who have identified these advanced factors should take steps to protect these assets, either formally or as a trade secret, optimize the company's use of them and not outsource them to other firms because it is convenient to try that the competition does not find out about the use of this factor of production so that it cannot imitate them and thus be able to gain a greater market share to the competition.

3) The statement "in response to requests from customers for healthier food on the menu, a restaurant tweaks its recipe for its most popular sandwich to remove processed ingredients and replace them with fresh vegetables." describes a strategy that adds value to multiple factors as it goes through several activities in the value chain because the company's decision to use less processed ingredients and more fresh vegetables not only facilitates production but also responds to a customer need, which will value the products even more.

Suppose that the Dallas School District wants to achieve Six Sigma quality levels of performance in delivering students to schoo

Kay [80]

Answer:

a) 1.66 minutes

b) 3.4 out of million deliveries

Explanation:

So, it is a six sigma quality question, we first need to understand little bit about six sigma and how it is to achieve six sigma level.

Six Sigma:

It is the process or technique used by many organizations through out the world to achieve maximum quality in a product or in a service they are providing. It helps to indicate root causes of the process or you can say waste steps which first need to be identified then rectified to bring that top-notch quality in the system. So in this case, in order to calculate part a) we will calculate six sigma control limits.

a) So, for six sigma control limits, the maximum allowable standard deviation is 12 or you can say +6 + (-6) = ±6 = 12. It means all deviations must lie in all 12 standard deviations.

Please refer to the table shown in the attachment. This bell curve represent six sigma concept. In this 3 sigma quality level means all deviations must lie in 6 standard deviations.

So, here we have been given that mean = 20, so with mean we can calculate standard deviation in six sigma control limits.

Maximum Allowable Standard Deviation for 6 sigma = Mean/12

= 20/12

= 1.66

So, 1.66 is the maximum allowable standard deviation of arrival times required in order to achieve 6 sigma quality level.

b) In this part, we are asked that, out of million deliveries about how many times bus deliver students too early or too late at this 6 sigma quality level.

For this answer, please refer to attachment again. and notice at the left bottom with the arrow of 6 sigma, we have a number 3.4 ppm means 3.4 part per million.

So, it 3.4 times in a million deliveries bus will deliver students either too early or too late.

What is one reason why the overall unemployment rate understates the actual employment situation?

MissTica

Answer:

It does not consider all the unemployed people.

Explanation:

The unemployment rate is a percent expression of the jobless labor force in an economy. In calculating the unemployment rate, the bureau of labor statistics considers only the unemployed people who have been actively seeking work in the past four weeks.

Due to this reason, the unemployment rate does not include all the jobless people in the country. Unemployed individuals who have lost hope of finding work, and those who did seek employment get excluded. Those engaged in other chores like caring for the sick or the elderly are also not considered.
