After reading through the Chapters, its reasonable to state that, Koliba and Zia (2015) observed that advancements in high-speed computing, digitization of data and improved collaboration across informatics project platforms create the need for quality simulation modeling education for two types of public servants.

Q1 – Who are these public servants?

• identify and name these two types of public servants,
• provide a short narrative of why it’s important for these servants to receive this education,

According to Chalmers et al. (1995, p. 173), validation of a simulation against empirical data is not about comparing “the real world” and the simulation output; but it is a comparison of what is observed as the real world with what is observed as the output. In this scenario, both are constructions of observers and their views concerning relevant agents and their attributes (Chalmers et al., 1995). Constructing reality and simulation are just two-way of an observer seeing the world. The issue of objective, formation is not normally considered by computer scientists relying on the standard view: datais “organized” by a human programmer who appropriately fits them into the chosen representational structure. In most cases, researchers apply their prior knowledge of the nature of the problem to hand-code a representation of the data into a near-optimal form.

Q2 – In consideration of the constructionist’s views regarding the quality of social simulation as an example of research-based and policy modeling approach, what happens when the possibility of validating a simulation by comparing it with empirical data from the “real world” is questioned?

• provide a short and clear narrative with an explanation of what happens,

Answer the following questions (which can be found on page 138 or at the end of Chapter 4)

Complete the assignment in 2-3 pages and ensure that you identify each question being answered.

1. How would you go about evaluating the design of this book?
2. A company is developing a new app that will allow customers to track the progress of their orders. The website developers charge $10,000 for every development week and it is estimated that the design will take 10 weeks from the start of the design project to the launch of the website. Once launched, it is estimated that the new site will attract extra business that will generate profits of $5,000 per week. However, if the website is delayed by more than five weeks, the extra profit generated would reduce to $2,000 per week. How will a delay of five weeks affect the time when the design will break even in terms of cash flow?
3. How can the concept of modularization be applied to package holidays sold through an online travel agent?
4. One product where a very wide range of product types is valued by customers is that of domestic paint. Most people like to express their creativity in the choice of paints and other home decorating products that they use in their homes. Clearly, offering a wide range of paint must have serious cost implications for the companies which manufacture, distribute and sell the product. Visit a store which sells paint and get an idea of the range of products available on the market. How do you think paint manufacturers and retailers manage to design their services and products so as to maintain high variety but keep costs under control?

Agile Lean Transformational Leaders – Final Exam

Enterprise Lean is a coordinated state government program directed through the Department of Administration. The Enterprise Lean Program is an ambitious effort to reform and reshape state government operations into those that are nimble, embrace change, and continuously improve. In addition, the Governor, has set forth several specific objectives for the Enterprise Lean effort. They are:

1. Creating “one stop shop” opportunities for easier access to government services;

2. Increasing secure and effective electronic delivery of government services;

3. Streamlining common functions and activities;

4. Saving money through more efficient and effective service delivery.

The programs focus is to improve organizational performance through Lean thinking, concepts, tools, and methods.

You are tasked to lead this effort. You find several examples of waste in state government and you proceed to categorize them as follows:

Using this scenario please answer the following questions:

1. What are three (3) Lean leadership challenges faced by you as the Lean Enterprise Program leader? List and describe each one.

2. How would you overcome each of these challenges? What would you do? Describe your method(s).

3. Select two of the types of waste from the list. What Lean tools (i.e. Kaizen events, 5S, Kanban) would you deploy to address the wastes you have selected? Explain why you selected the particular tool. Describe how you might engage the employees in understanding the use, and importance, of the tool.

You can refer to Chegg, but note that their questions are different.

You will create a design for an Ethernet network connecting four buildings in an industrial park. Hand in a picture showing your network. There will be a core switch in each building.

Building A is the headquarters building.

Building B is 85 meters south and 90 meters east of the headquarters building. A line will run directly from Building A to Building B.

Building C is 150 meters south of the headquarters building. A line will run directly from Building A to Building C.

Building D is 60 meters west of Building C. A line will run directly from Building C to Building D.

Computers in Building A need to communicate with computers in Building B at 600 Mbps.

Computers in Building A need to be able to communicate with computers in Building C at 1 Gbps.

Computers in Building A must communicate with computers in Building D at 500 Mbps.

Computers in Building C must communicate with computers in Building D at 750 Mbps.

a) Draw a picture of the situation.

b) Determine the traffic volume on each transmission line. Explain your answers.

First, show all of the traffic between pairs of sites:

Second, add up the traffic for each line.

c) Determine what standard to use for each transmission line. Explain your answers.

If the distance is more than 100 meters, use fiber; if it is 100 meters or less, select UTP.

Then, select the lowest-speed standard (including bonding) sufficient to handle the traffic.

Learning Objectives and Outcomes

• Analyze the given case study on security breach.
• Recommend controls to avoid an enterprise security breach.

Assignment Requirements
