I would call Homeland Security. Their duties are not just
about preventing terrorist activities but also preventing man-made and natural
disasters as well. They respond to large
scale emergencies as part of their mandate to protect the U.S. and its
territories from threats that are either man-made or natural in nature.
After Scout companions Boo back to his home, she silences on the Radley porch and recollecting her father’s advice about how “you never actually know a man till you stand in his shoes and walk about in them.” Scout now sees her minute world from Boo’s eyes as if it is he standing there, viewing the happenings of the past two years. She comprehends that Boo has perhaps seen much of the children’s doings and standing there she recalls them more brightly than ever earlier. Like running to encounter Atticus, fighting on a path, and discovering gifts in the undisclosed knothole to name a few.
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
The bullwhip effect can be explained as an occurrence detected by the supply chain where orders sent to the manufacturer and supplier create larger variance then the sales to the end customer. These irregular orders in the lower part of the supply chain develop to be more distinct higher up in the supply chain. This variance can interrupt the smoothness of the supply chain process as each link in the supply chain will over or underestimate the product demand resulting in exaggerated fluctuations.
CAUSES
There are many factors said to cause or contribute to the bullwhip effect in supply chains; the following list names a few:
1. Disorganization between each supply chain link; with ordering larger or smaller amounts of a product than is needed due to an over or under reaction to the supply chain beforehand.
2. Lack of communication between each link in the supply chain makes it difficult for processes to run smoothly. Managers can perceive a product demand quite differently within different links of the supply chain and therefore order different quantities.
3. Free return policies; customers may intentionally overstate demands due to shortages and then cancel when the supply becomes adequate again, without return forfeit retailers will continue to exaggerate their needs and cancel orders; resulting in excess material.
4. Order batching; companies may not immediately place an order with their supplier; often accumulating the demand first. Companies may order weekly or even monthly. This creates variability in the demand as there may for instance be a surge in demand at some stage followed by no demand after.
6. Price variations – special discounts and other cost changes can upset regular buying patterns; buyers want to take advantage on discounts offered during a short time period, this can cause uneven production and distorted demand information.
7. Demand information – relying on past demand information to estimate current demand information of a product does not take into account any fluctuations that may occur in demand over a period of time.
I don't remeber them having to pay taxes so I would say the first one.
