Deadline tightness and performance in operational and logistics contexts

MBA Professional ReportThe purpose of this research is to better understand the relationships among regulatory focus (dispositional factor), inventory record accuracy (an operational context), and deadline tightness (a parameter under management control) against performance. Participant performance was measured by the amount of defects identified and the cumulative times to complete the given tasks. Two conditions placed on the participants were a high and low inventory-record accuracy and a loose or tight deadline, and prevention and promotion focused were measured on a regulatory focus scale. We analyzed, through statistical tools such as regression and a t test, the significance between performance, conditions, and regulatory focus. The anticipated outcome is to validate our assumption that tighter deadlines will lead to lower performance and that inventory record accuracy results in higher levels of performance. These findings may have practical applications for organizations such as DLA, NAVSUP, and other agencies or organizations that perform warehouse tasking when assigning or hiring individuals to perform such functions.http://archive.org/details/deadlinetightnes1094549407Lieutenant Commander, United States NavyLieutenant, United States NavyLieutenant Commander, United States NavyApproved for public release; distribution is unlimited

Edutainment (semester?), IPRO 329

IPRO 329, Edutainment, has the distinct goal of creating a simulated training program for nuclear health technicians. This program will provide an interactive environment in which to practice the skills necessary to pass the certification test. It focuses on the oral exam portion of this exam where the technician will be presented with a scenario designed to test his problem solving and reasoning skills while applying the general knowledge of radiation health standards required for his profession.Deliverables for IPRO 329: Edutainment for the Spring 2007 semeste

Urban Forestry (semester?), IPRO 317

The goal of IPRO 317 is to create an operational and business model for Urban Forestry Management. Presently, the future of Chicago’s urban forest is in question. While few refute the claim that trees are good for our community, allocating the resources to properly maintain or even expand our urban forest remains beyond our grasp. Our team seeks to make the urban forest a viable commodity in addition to its status as an asset. This would include examining the problem as a closed loop process as well as the sustainable harvest potential of the urban forest. The overall goal would be to create a business model that would increase the number of trees within the city, turn the revenue loss of tree maintenance into a revenue gain, and create a self sustaining model which will have the ability to stand on its own.Deliverables for IPRO 317: Urban Forestry for the Fall 2007 semeste
