 This assessment requires you to use information from your assigned readings, the literature and leaders in your organization to answer the following questions. If you are not currently employed by an organization, gather information from a nurse leader or quality management colleague. What are the organization’s quality program goals and objectives? What is the organization’s quality management structure? If there is not a formal structure, who is responsible for quality management in the organization? How are quality improvement (QI) projects selected, managed and monitored? Does nursing staff have any input? State if quality improvement inservice programs are available for staff in your facility and describe a brief overview of the content. What quality methodology and quality tools/techniques are utilized? Are they effective? Why or why not? Provide rationale. How are QI activities and processes communicated to staff? Is the communication effective? How could it be improved? How does the organization evaluate QI activities for effectiveness? What is the process when the QI activity is not effective? Provide 2 examples of a QI initiative that has been effective in your organization. Describe the QI process that occurred. What was the impact on patient outcomes? Did it result in a change in practice?

Section B – Analytical calculation of the beam (10%)

For the shape of cross section that you have selected in A.8 above, select dimensions from catalogues and draw a sketch showing the beam under a three-point bending test (use the given point load). Supports and external loads must be clearly shown and justified. Sketch the Free Body Diagram of the beam and calculate analytically (hand calculations) the maximum shearing force, the maximum bending moment, the maximum deflection and the maximum normal stress due to bending. The hand calculations must be clear and complete. Also, fully define all the necessary information for these calculations and justify your selections. Initially, ignore the self-weight and then repeat the calculations including the self-weight.

Section C – Finite Element Analysis of the beam (by hand) (20%)

For the purposes of the current section, model the entire beam as an assembly of two beam elements and, after carrying all calculations by hand, get a solution for the vertical deflection. More particularly, for each one of the two elements, write the stiffness matrix and, based on that information, update / form the global stiffness matrix of the structure. In the sequel, apply proper boundary conditions and solve the so formed system of equations. For this very last step (solution of system of equations), any software (e.g. MatLab, MS Excel, etc.) may be used. After getting a solution for the nodal displacements, estimate the maximum deflection, the maximum bending moment, the maximum shear force and the maximum normal stress due to bending. Also, estimate the reaction forces and check for force equilibrium. Furthermore, estimate the reaction moments and check for moment equilibrium. Initially ignore the self-weight and then repeat the calculations including the self-weight.

 The business of selling below cost Chaklader, Barnali. Businessline; Chennai [Chennai]15 July 2016. How can e-tailers sell for less than cost price? There is probably some sound underlying logic How can e-tailers sell for less than cost price? There is probably some sound underlying logic Major players of the long established offline sector are complaining loudly about the low cost strategy of the online sector. Offline retailers are accusing e-tailers of selling products below cost. Online retail is being financed by private equity in a major way. If we think logically, private equity players will never invest in a business model that will result in losses. There is no doubt they want a decent return on equity. This forces us to wonder why these etailers are selling products below total cost. People’s lifestyle has changed over the years and more so with technological innovations. A Comscore report says that three out of five internet users are shopping online. The survey also says that the number of online shoppers in India is expected to rise to 56 billion by 2023. Online shopping’s rapid growth and popularity is due to heavy discounts, convenience of shopping, growing traffic and parking problems in the metropolitan cities. Offline retailers have understood that e-commerce is going to give them tough competition. Fewer overheadsOnline retailers have a low overhead cost. Their fixed costs are fewer as compared to offline sellers as they do not have to maintain the shop with different levels of interior decoration depending on the customer segment they target to serve. Offline retailers have to bear the cost of holding inventory in the warehouses and shops, as a ‘just in time’ technique would not work in this type of business model. E-tailers take orders online and have tie-ups with the vendors who deliver the products directly to the customers. Online retailers incur huge cost on advertisements, offer huge discounts, cash on delivery and the cost of returning the products by the customers within a stipulated time period or even at the time of delivery of the product. Many bear huge infrastructure costs for maintaining back-end warehouse services. As per the theory of cost-volume-profit analysis, in the short run, fixed cost is considered to be irrelevant for decision-making as it is incurred even if there is no sale. Employees have to be paid, so does rent, and the firm has to bear many other fixed expenses. If the selling price per unit of the product is more than the variable cost per unit of the product then there is a positive contribution margin per unit of product. The seller tries to maximise the total contribution by increasing the volume of products.

 DESCRIPTION The aim of this assessment is to apply modelling principles, spreadsheet engineering technique and modelling skills to develop a decision model for a given business scenario using the information provided. You are the business analyst of Omega Pty Ltd and have been given information regarding the business activities for the Year 2017, 2018 and 2019.
