Executive Summary

The report discusses the financial standing of Marriot International, one of the largest hotel chains in the world, for the year 2013. To achieve a comprehensive analysis, we converted the raw financial numbers into meaningful items using the tool of ratio analysis, which were then compared with the industrial averages. Our analysis indicated that the company is earning sustainable profit margins of 4.21%, while the industry is running into losses. Another financial metric that went in favor of the company was its efficiency in using the asset base and generating profit from it. Important to note, both the ROA Continue reading...

The economic growth of a country is extremely crucial for its overall development. Most countries often gear their policies to achieve this target with the hope that such growth would bring their citizens out of poverty. However, growth need not necessarily be the sole objective of economic policy since economic growth can be lopsided and uneven, thus depriving large sections of the population of the benefits of growth. Therefore, most economic policy makers also take into account factors such as income distribution and poverty. However, there are varied debates over the method of measuring poverty as well since every Continue reading...

Introduction
Mathematical skills are vital in the healthcare field, since many problems in different areas require measurements, formulae and calculations to be applied. This paper reviews two healthcare problems which suggest mathematical solutions for effective management of the patients.

Pain Management

WHO analgesic ladder (1996) supposes the patients with mild\mild –to-moderate pain receiving combination preparations of a weak opioid plus non-opioid should be transferred to strong opioids when the pain increases. The dose calculation is crucial in these cases: if it is too small, the effective pain relief will not be provided; if the opioid is overdosed, the side effects Continue reading...

A. Recommendation to improve current workflow in the plant:

There are 8 steps in the process of producing the Rugged Wear Work boot product for the company. The company is budgeted to produce 6 workboots an hour with a 40 hour workweek.

The work boot assembly schedule follows:

The current production line layout consists of 8 workstations performing each individual task. The current production line is as follows:
6 min 3 min
10 min 8 min 3 min 9 min
33

3min 4 min

It is recommended that the revised schedule should use five teams. Five teams would improve the effeciency of production. The maximum time of any workstation would 10 minutes and the total cycle time Continue reading...

Company’s business level strategy is that in which it is using the technology of internet to go beyond the limits. The company used a combined strategy to achieve greater heights (Jones, 2008). This combined strategy had two important components;
Be unique, i.e. sale and purchase of books through websites. It was a kind of differentiation strategy in which the company got the ability of online collection of books and confirming their availability to more and more customers.
Selling or providing products and services at low cost. This low cost is also afforded by handling of huge quantities of Continue reading...

Abstract

Hand Hygiene (HH) or hand washing in hospital must improve in order to reach zero mortality, shorter patient stays and lower costs for patients and their families. A meta-analysis was carried out to collect studies with a common methodology so that the results can be evaluated with statistical analysis. Searches on the PubMed database were used to identify articles addressing both the issue of hand hygiene and paediatric hospitals. Several searches were carried out until the number of articles for the study was narrowed down to five peer-reviewed academic articles. The number of total HH opportunities and positive Continue reading...

Summary

In this paper we have discovered the basics of descriptive statistics for statistical data of temperatures in the pots. It was determined which pot has the highest temperature on average and which has the lowest. The basic characteristics of temperature distribution (measures of central tendency and variability) for each section were given. One-sample and Two-sample Student’s t-test were applied to check the difference in AlF3 calculations methods and the amount of cryolite used in manufacturing process. It is appeared, that old and new calculation systems are significantly different from each other. Also, the hypothesis of plant management about Continue reading...

Experiment 1 (Drilling Fluid Mud Density)

Definition: The drilling fluid term refers to the technic used for facilitation of drilling boreholes, and to improve all necessary functions needed for a fine drilling.

Results:

Results:
(The weight of Mud *0.052)= Gradient of Mud in psi/ft.
(The weight of Mud in lb/ft3)/144=mud gradient in psi/ft.

Water:

(Mud gradient) 8.3*0.052 =0.432 psi/ft.
(Mud gradient) 64/144 =0.044 psi/ft.

Mud sample No1:

(Mud gradient) 9.13*0.052=0.475 psi/ft.
(Mud gradient) 69/144=0.480 psi/ft.

Mud sample 2:

(Mud gradient) 10*.052=0.520 psi/ft.
(Mud gradient) 76/144=0.530 psi/ft.

Calculation: For calculation of the Density and Mud gradient, the following formulas were used.

Density= (lb/gal)/ 8.345.
Mud gradient= (lb/gal)/ 19.24.

Volume and mass

Density:
Fresh Water: 8.3/8.345 = 1.0 (S.G)
Mud sample1: 9.13/8.345=1.1 (S.G)
Mud sample 2: 10/8.345=1.20 ( Continue reading...

Introduction

The process, in which the heat produced in result of fuel combustion, simultaneously produces electricity, and heat is called cogeneration and the name of the built and configured system that utilizes the heat is Combined Heat and Power Engine (CHP). The CHP usage has so many advantages in different manners, especially nowadays, that CHP systems with up to 90% efficiency and compatible to different types of fuels, including the renewable ones are produced.
Therefore using a CHP, leads to production of the desired result but by using less fuel, and in comparison to the conventional methods it saves energy Continue reading...

Introduction

Supply chain is the process of the company that needs to be maintained for smooth operation of the company. It has been believed that the supply chain management of Apple Inc is the world’s best supply chain model that a company can follow. But being the best it faces a lot of problem that can be solved with improvement in the use of technology in the daily operation of the company. This research has been made to evaluate the problems faced in the supply chain management of Apple Inc and how these problems can be minimized with the Continue reading...
