/in /by

1. You work as a paralegal at a prestigious environmental law firm. One of your clients, Kevin Lomax, who owns a facility that generates and transports hazardous waste, calls to inform you that he just received a letter from the EPA. The letter states that an EPA representative will be on-site to perform a detailed inspection of the premises within a couple months. Mr. Lomax is very concerned about this letter and asks your law firm to help him understand what he should expect during the inspection. Specifically, Mr. Lomax wants to know what the EPA representative can inspect and what punishment may be imposed on the facility if problems are found.

 

2. Tom Transporter is unemployed, and in order to make some money, he decides to use his pickup truck to haul away garbage for any local business that will pay him. Tom’s customers give him large tips for hauling away hazardous waste. As a “transporter” of hazardous waste, what does RCRA require of Tom?

3. Harriet Homemaker likes to use her barbeque to make dinner for her family. Harriet, however, uses lighter fluid and wastes a lot of it. She disposes of half-full lighter fluid bottles in her kitchen garbage, and the garbage men take them away when she puts her trash out for collection. Harriet’s ex-husband reports her to the EPA for violating the provisions of the RCRA. What is the likely result?

 

4. You are working as a paralegal for the law office of Daniel Kaffe. Nathan Jessup, a local entrepreneur who is in the business of transporting various flammable liquids, calls to set up an immediate appointment to discuss a potential issue. At the time, Mr. Kaffe is out of town and will not be returning for a couple days. Later that day, Jessup comes in to speak with you about the situation. Jessup tells you that one of his trucks that was transporting 1,000 gallons of highly flammable liquids overturned near a local school. He is not sure what to do and asks you for your advice. Given the urgency of the matter, what should you instruct Jessup to do?

5. Gary Gasoline owns a gasoline filling station called “Gary’s Gas.” Gary’s Gas sells gasoline and nothing else. It does not offer services such as oil changes. Gary’s gas tanks are located near the pumps, underneath the concrete, and they have started to leak. Does CERCLA apply to Gary’s Gas?

 

6. Nancy P. Lovely, in search of a tract of land to build her estate on, finds exactly what she is looking for. Curious why the tract has been abandoned for many years, she contacts the local tax assessor’s office and is told that the property is on the National Priorities List (NPL), and other potential buyers have been discouraged from buying the property as a result of this. Assuming that the NPL is a list of the most desired properties in the nation, she begins taking steps to purchase the property. What is the NPL? Is there automatic liability under CERCLA and other statutes for owners of the property on the NPL?

Unit Assignments Overview of the Unit Assignments In this course, you are asked to prepare a Comprehensive Report as the Unit VIII Final Project, which is made up of various scenarios throughout each unit. Units II through VIII each contain a scenario for you to solve and to provide recommendations. By the end of the course, you are asked to collect all of the individual responses from each scenario and to insert them into a Comprehensive Report as the Unit VIII Final Project. Theme and Setting for Unit Assignments You are employed by Be Safe Consulting, Inc. (BSCI), as an entry-level safety consultant. You report directly to Bob Sanders, the supervising Certified Safety Professional (CSP). For the last two months, you have been assigned to conduct a comprehensive safety evaluation for Acme Manufacturing Co. Based on the observations, calculations, and recommendations in Unit II through Unit VIII, prepare a Comprehensive Report to Bob Sanders, who will in turn use this information to prepare a final report to Acme Manufacturing Co. Board of Directors. While the Board of Directors may be looking for detailed business implications, Bob Sanders is looking for a detail of potential employee-hazard exposures and your recommendation rationale (calculations, observations, and/or regulations). Unit II Project Ventilation Report You are employed by Be Safe Consulting, Inc. (BSCI) as an entry-level safety consultant. You report directly to Bob Sanders, the supervising Certified Safety Professional (CSP). BSCI has been contracted by Acme Manufacturing Co. to conduct a study to determine employee exposures to various particulates and gases. In addition, your company has been contracted to determine if the current ventilation systems that are in place are adequate to protect employees from an over exposure to these chemicals. After conducting a field assessment, prepare a written report that Bob Sanders can utilize to prepare a final comprehensive report for the Board of Directors. During your field investigation, you find the following field observations: Welding Room The company has six welding booths, or areas that are partitioned only for the use of welding curtains. The booth is open to mixing in the front and top. The company is worried about the welder’s exposure to iron oxide (PEL 10 mg/m3). For a valid sample, you must have a minimum of six hours of sampling (The remaining two hours of the work day is considered

Based on this information, determine the employee’s actual exposure to iron oxide, whether the samples were valid, and if not, why? Show your work either in the report or as an appendix. During further evaluations of the welding booths, you determine that each booth utilizes a local exhaust system to remove the iron oxide and other contaminants prior to mixing with the breathing air. You take the following measurements:

Location Air Velocity

(fpm)

Work distance from exhaust opening (in

inches)

Duct Diameter (in inches)

Flow Rate (cfm)

Booth #1 683 18 8 Unknown

Booth #2 Unknown 16 8 12,375

Booth #3 710 16 12 Unknown

Booth #4 184 26 8 Unknown

Booth #5 Unknown 22 8 9721

Booth #6 Unknown 18 12 11421

After taking the air samples for employee exposures to iron oxide, then measuring and calculating the performance of the local exhaust ventilation (paying particular attention to the specifics), what recommendations would you make to reduce the employee’s overexposure, if any, to the ventilation systems? Hazardous Materials Storage Area As part of your assessment, you have been asked to evaluate and determine if the hazardous materials storage area has adequate ventilation. In addition to the federal requirements, Acme’s insurance carrier requires that they have a minimum of 12 air changes per hour. In your evaluation, you collect the following information:

Area Width (ft.)

Area Length (ft.)

Area Height (ft.)

Ventilation Supply #1

(volume – cfm)

Ventilation Supply #2

(volume – cfm)

22 30 14 874 993

Determine if the current hazardous materials storage area is adequate and meets the requirements of Acme’s insurance carrier. What recommendations would you make to correct the discrepancies, if any?

Foundry Room Acme has a foundry room, which is nearing the point of being outdated in terms of engineering controls. For example, one employee stands near an operation that has a canopy hood exhaust and routinely puts his face in the flow of the hood, causing him to inhale particulates and gases that are directly being drawn into the hood. Part of your evaluation is to make a recommendation for a new type of exhaust system. Which one would you recommend, and why? Your report should be in APA style and be at least one page in length, double-spaced (not including title, references, and appendix pages). Respond to the details in each section and be sure to include at least each of the following sections in your report for this unit:

 Introduction: Briefly describe why the studies were performed (why you started the study).

 Report details: Briefly discuss the details of the scenario (what you found from the study).

 Conclusions and recommendations: Briefly describe your recommendations based on your findings (what you recommend to resolve any deficiencies).

 Appendix: Provide measurements and calculations (show your work). Unit III Project Radiation Safety Report The executives at Acme Manufacturing Co. were impressed by your first report, and they have asked you and BSCI to return for more work. BSCI has been contracted by Acme Manufacturing Co. to conduct a study to determine employee exposures to radiation. In addition, your company has been contracted to determine the effectiveness of engineering controls, including shielding. After conducting a field assessment, prepare a written report for Bob Sanders (CSP) to present to the Board of Directors. During your field investigation, you find the following field observations: Test Equipment and Repair Facility The company has an on-site test equipment and repair facility. Much of the test equipment contains a radiation source. Normal practice inside the facility is to limit the time of exposure of employees working on this equipment as a method of control. However, the company is looking at the possibility of installing lead shields or increasing the distance from the source, thus increasing employee time working on equipment. Based on the following information determine the employee’s exposure:

Location Employee Distance (Initial)

Distance (Proposed)

Intensity (Initial)

Intensity at proposed distance

Bench #3 Rita Ray D’Ashun 0.5 ft. 2 ft. 110 mrem/h Unknown

Bench #5 Robert Long 1 ft. 3 ft. 137 mrem/h Unknown

Bench #6 Paul Row 0.75 ft. 1.5 ft. 102 mrem/h Unknown

Based on this information, determine the employee’s actual exposure rate to the radiation source. Show your work (either in the report or as an appendix). The second option under consideration is to install lead shields in order to reduce the employee’s dose rate. Using the information provided in the table above, determine the intensity at the same distances listed above if a 5 cm lead shield was placed between the source and the detector. [µ for lead, (662 keV gamma ray) = 1.23 cm-1] Radar Testing Facility As part of your assessment, you have been asked to evaluate the estimated power density levels for both near and far fields. You have conducted your assessment and measurements with the following data:

Location Diameter

(cm) Antenna Power

(watts)

Power Density (Near Field)

(mW/cm2)

Power Density (Far Field) (mW/cm2)

Unit VI Project Hydrostatics and Hydraulics Report BSCI has another job for you at Acme Manufacturing Co., and Bob Sanders (your supervisor) has asked you to complete it. BSCI has been contracted by Acme Manufacturing Co. to collect measurements of various industrial storage facilities and certain aspects of its fire suppression system. After collecting field measurements and calculating values, prepare a written report for Bob Sanders (CSP) to present to the Board of Directors. During your field investigations, you find the following field observations: Piping System Repair A piping system repair must be made to a vertical piping system. The pipe is 60 ft. long prior to its turn to a horizontal direction. There is a repair that must be done at 35 feet above the floor. The pipe is filled with a liquid having the same properties as water. Due to operational considerations, the pipe cannot be drained. The fluid is considered non-hazardous due to its chemical properties. Before the repair can be completed, a decision has to be made about the material to use and the method in which the repair can occur safely. At the location of the pipe repair, what is the pressure of the fluid? (NOTE: the height of the cylinder is the length of the pipe minus the height of the repair from the floor.) Water Storage Tank Some repairs have been made to the existing water storage tank. New valves and piping systems are to be installed in the distribution system. You have been asked to calculate the velocity of the fluid through the bottom drain opening and prior to entry into the distribution system. This velocity will help to determine the specific valve that must be installed prior to the distribution system. The tank at its highest point is 24 feet. Determine the velocity of the fluid at fluid heights of 24 feet, 18 feet, 12 feet, and 6 feet. Fire Suppression System In a horizontally installed piping system, water flows through a 10 inch pipe. The head loss in a 500 foot section is 40 feet. The residual pressure at Point A is 55 psi and the velocity at Point A is 7 ft./s. If the velocity at Point B is 8.5 ft/s, what is the residual pressure at Point B? Your report should be in APA style and be at least one page in length, double-spaced (not including title, references, and appendix pages). Respond to the details in each section and be sure to include at least each of the following sections in your report for this unit:

Industrial and Hazardous Waste Management

CSU

With a need to manage wastes safely and effectively, the need to assess the impacts of these wastes on human populations ought to be carried out. The relationships that exist between the industry and the industrial codes and waste classifications should be done. It has been found that 70% of the wastes especially hazardous are generated by the chemical industries using approximately 20% of the primary metal industry codes (Bahadori 2014).

In this regard, it is very important to understand the processes that give rise to these hazardous effluents before embarking on the treatment of such wastes. Environmental engineers ought to understand the aspects of wastes that are given in an operation. This implies that the fundamentals of the operations of the chemistry and physics that are involved in an operation should thoroughly e understood( Hickman 2003).

In essence, the processes of the majority of chemistry mostly involved in waste treatments mainly occur within the matrices of the effluents from the industry. In treatment process, it is very important that one classify the wastes that are attributed to recognizing and understanding the key attributes that are to be considered industrial wastes and hazardous wastes. In addition to this, one must recognize the difference between the hazardous wastes and solid wastes that are generated by the industry. Most importantly, the relevant laws and standards should be considered so that the managing of these wastes can be done legally and safely Bahadori 2014).

Final Project Assignment SCM 301 Consider Yourself A Consultant Assigned To Develop A Supply Chain Management Strategy For The Company Throx. You Are Tasked With Evaluating The Company

/in /by

Final Project Assignment SCM 301  Consider yourself a consultant assigned to develop a supply chain management strategy for the company Throx.  You are tasked with evaluating the company’s recent performance and recommending changes (decisions) to improve supply chain management performance. You should use concepts and methods discussed in SCM 301 to undertake these two tasks.

Company Background Information

Throx sells higher-end custom-design socks in three-sock sets (rather than two).  The company operates from a small packaging and distribution facility in Richmond, CA from which it ships product to customers.  Given the company’s location and focus, 97% of sales are in California, primarily in the major urban areas of the San Francisco bay area, Los Angeles, Sacramento (and last but not least) San Diego.  The company sells exclusively via online sales, at an average price of $15/three-sock set, plus shipping costs charged to the customer.

The company currently orders its product from the Chinese sock manufacturer Zhejiang Datang Hosiery Group Co., Ltd in so-called “Sock City.”  It orders socks in packs of 20 three-sock sets, which are then broken down into individual three-sock sets at the Richmond facility for sale to customers.  Socks are shipped via truck to the port of Shanghai to the port at Los Angeles-Long Beach. Once offloaded in Los Angeles-Long Beach, the socks are shipped via truck to the Richmond facility.  On average, shipment from the manufacturer to the Richmond facility takes 4 weeks.  In addition to the transit time required for shipment, the lead time from when an order is placed with the manufacturer to when it is shipped from Zhejiang is 2 weeks. If the product ordered by a customer is in stock at the Richmond facility, it typically takes 1 day to process an order and ship it out, although the maximum units that can be shipped in a week is currently 1,500 given the facility’s minimal labor force and packaging equipment.

/in /by

Part 1

COCA-COLA COMPANY

Coca-Cola is a soft drink that is bought and consumed in households, hotels, offices and shops. The product is also a wide brand and the product is sold alongside other soft drinks and snacks.

MISSION STATEMENT: “To refresh the world in mind, body and spirit, to inspire moments of optimism and happiness through our brands and actions and to create value and make difference.”

GOALS

to satisfy customer needs

to be the leader in production of soft drinks

to improve profitability

to increase the market share

to expand geographically

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

The has been continuous innovation and this has seen new products being introduced into the market. The use of advertising helps in promotion of the brand and informing consumers about the features of the product. This leads to increased sales because of increase in number of customers.

SWOT ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS

Coca-Cola is a product that is sold in more than 200 countries across the world. The presence of coca cola has therefore built the drink a brand name, therefore brand equity is Coca-Cola’s strength. “Interbrand in 2011 awarded Coca cola with the highest brand equity award.” with the highest brand equity.” (Marketing91.com, 2014) . The product therefore has a large distribution network because of geographical dispersion. This has increased the market share of the product against that of its competitor, Pepsi. The product is also sold alongside other soft drinks. Customers are loyal to the product. “Because of the good taste of Coca cola, finding substitutes becomes difficult for the customer.” (Marketing91.com, 2014)

WEAKNESSSES

The product has been in the news for not being a healthy product for consumption. Coca-Cola, being a carbonated drink has been attributed to causing obesity. This means that the consumption of the drink may decline as people strive to take healthy drinks that are noncarbonated.

There have been increased lawsuits that have been filed against Coca-Cola show that the company consumes large amounts of water even in water scarce regions. There has been blame that they mix water with pesticides to clear contaminants.

OPPORTUNITIES

The supply chain throughout the Coca-Cola product is improved. This means that the company will be able to reach a wide number of customers and at reduced costs. Developing countries will also continue to buy Coca-Cola products because the countries are moving slowly towards healthy beverages. This higher consumption in developing countries can help capitalize Coca-Cola.

THREATS

There are indirect competitors in the industry such as Starbucks, Café coffee day, Costa coffee who sell coffee which is healthier than carbonated Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola also faces the threat of shortage of water. This is because the main raw material in its manufacture is water, and there have been law suits against the company to the way in which they use water.

Part 2

Marketing Plan Part 2

This is the next step in creating your marketing plan. Please follow the directions in Week One and reference the marketing plan outline in Appendix A of your text.

Describe your target market.

Identify the consumers who are most likely to buy your product in terms of: (a) their demographic characteristics and (b) any other kind of characteristics you believe are important.

Describe (a) the main points of difference of your product for this group and (b) what problem these characteristics help solve for the consumer, in terms of the first stage in the consumer purchase decision making process in Figure 6.2 (page 190).

This section of your marketing plan should be one page. Perform and cite outside research on all individual work.

Figure 6.2 shows the six steps in the consumer decision process. First, the consumer recognizes a problem or unmet need, searches for appropriate goods or services, and evaluates the alternatives before making a purchase decision. The next step is the actual purchase. After buying the item, the consumer evaluates whether he or she made the right choice. Much of marketing involves steering consumers through the decision process in the direction of a specific product.

APPENDIX A: Developing an Effective MARKETING PLAN OVERVIEW > “What are our mission and goals?” > “Who are our customers?” > “What types of products do we offer?” > “How can we provide superior customer service?” These are some of the questions addressed by a marketing plan—a detailed description of the resources and actions needed to achieve stated marketing objectives. Chapter 2 discussed strategic planning—the process of anticipating events and market conditions and deciding how a firm can best achieve its organizational objectives. Marketing planning encompasses all the activities devoted to achieving marketing objectives, establishing a basis for designing a marketing strategy. This appendix deals in depth with the formal marketing plan, which is part of an organization’s overall business plan. At the end of this appendix, you’ll see what an actual marketing plan looks like. Each plan component for a hypothetical firm called Blue Sky Clothing is presented. marketing plan Detailed description of the resources and actions needed to achieve stated marketing objectives. strategic planning Process of anticipating events and market conditions and deciding how a firm can best achieve its organizational objectives. COMPONENTS OF A BUSINESS PLAN A company’s business plan is one of its most important documents. The business plan puts in writing what all of the company’s objectives are, how they will be met, how the business will obtain financing, and how much money the company expects to earn over a specified time period. Although business plans vary in length and format, most contain at least some form of the following components: • An executive summary briefly answers the who, what, when, where, how, and why questions for the plan. Although the summary appears early in the plan, it typically is written last, after the firm’s executives have worked out the details of all the other sections. • A competitive analysis section focuses on the environment in which the marketing plan is to be implemented. Although this section is more closely associated with the comprehensive business plan, factors specifically influencing marketing are likely to be included here. • The mission statement summarizes the organization’s purpose, vision, and overall goals. This statement provides the foundation on which further planning is based. • The overall business plan includes a series of component plans that present goals and strategies for each functional area of the enterprise. They typically include the following: ○ The marketing plan, which describes strategies for informing potential customers about the goods and services offered by the firm as well as strategies for developing long-term relationships. At the end of this appendix, a sample marketing plan for Blue Sky Clothing is presented. ○ The financing plan, which presents a realistic approach for securing needed funds and managing debt and cash flows. ○ The production plan, which describes how the organization will develop its products in the most efficient, cost-effective manner possible. ○ The facilities plan, which describes the physical environment and equipment required to implement the production plan. ○ The human resources plan, which estimates the firm’s employment needs and the skills necessary to achieve organizational goals, including a comparison of current employees with the needs of the firm, and which establishes processes for securing adequately trained personnel if a gap exists between current employee skills and future needs. business plan Formal document that outlines what a company’s objectives are, how they will be met, how the business will obtain financing, and how much money the company expects to earn. “BRIEFLY SPEAKING” “A corporation is a living organism; it has to continue to shed its skin. Methods have to change. Focus has to change. Values have to change. The sum total of those changes is transformation.” —Andy Grove Co-founder and former CEO, Intel Corporation This basic format encompasses the planning process used by nearly every successful organization. Whether a company operates in the manufacturing, wholesaling, retailing, or service sector—or a combination—the components described here are likely to appear in its overall business plan. Regardless of the size or longevity of a company, a business plan is an essential tool for a firm’s owners because it helps them focus on the key elements of their business. Even small firms just starting out need a business plan to obtain financing.
