1. Request: The industry of construction is an industry where a firm has to be precise and very accurate. This is why I will be requesting that the superiors in my company purchase a piece of software Chief Architect, and revert from using their current software Sketch-up. This task will require persuading because the owners of the company think that using open-source software like Sketch-up will be sufficient. The company has been using Sketch-up for over five years and the thought process of the vice-president is that if it's free, it works, and there is no need to pay for other software. For example, one of the designers and architects at the firm has tried to ask for this software in the past and the bosses turned the idea down because …show more content…

The vice-president is the main purchasing agent for office related equipment. The president of the company will most certainly backup the vice-president, because they are brothers, and he will not want there to be a disagreement within management. The vice-president and president both do not have any training in building design, architecture, or 3D drawing. All of the knowledge that the vice-president and president have has been obtained from being on the job for over 20 years. As a result, both of them enjoy using sketch-up, because it is a program that requires no training. This is one of the main reasons they want to continue using Sketch-up. On the other hand, both the vice-president and president are starting to see that some of the firms projects are becoming more complex and that Sketch-ups simplicity is not keeping up with the demand. The issue above will be used to report that switching from Sketch-up to Chief Architect will expand the firms scope of work, because now the firm can take on more complex jobs, and Chief Architect will simplify the drawing of complex …show more content…

Below is a list of benefits that Chief Architect will bring to this company:
1. Designing house plans will take a few hours instead of a few days when using Sketch-up. Tools within Chief Architect make the drawing process more efficient. Chief Architect automatically allows you to create roof lines and truss layouts. Staircases no longer have to be manually drawn in but are will be drawn in automatically.
2. Estimating and budgeting is made easier. Before you start drawing a plan you are required to input types of materials you will be using, types of nails, and County Building Codes. This allows Chief Architect to track how much material is needed, what type of material, how many nails, how much drywall, insulation, and much more. This feature alone will have our company thousands of dollars. This feature can also minimize material waste for each project. Now we can accurately price every project and we can also accurately budget for each project. This also us to give our customers the most competitive price and our project managers a precise budget for each

    Since graduate school I have identified that I have trouble writing papers on subjects that are not of interest to me. I struggle to remain focus, and I get writer’s block often. It has been established that when and individual has selective attention they are generally working at the basic levels of perceptual identification (Weber & Johnson, 2009).

    For processes that require dual sign-offs the following solutions are suggested: For In Process Inspections (IPI) and In-Process Secondary Production Acceptance Certification (PAC): Option 1: Place a quality plan on the operation that requires the IPI or PAC. The benefits are reduced work orders and reduced steps while capturing an approver’s name. The downside as mentioned in the problem description is “there are no restrictions, so the same person can sign off both blocks in the plan.” Option 2: At the route level, plan a separate operation for the secondary approval sequenced after the operation performing the work to be certified.

    I explained the purpose of the interview and explained that she was not the subject of the interview. Schemer explained that on Friday, December 11, 2015 at approximately 0610 hours, she was in the mail room along with PSS Perry when Hale came in and immediately made a statement about the more people he killed today, the better it would feel. There was no discussion or conversation prior to Hale’s violent statements, he literally walked in and announced he wanted to kill people that day. While Schemer understands current policy forbids clandestine recording of co-workers, she felt it necessary to record his statements due to their violent nature, therefore she hit the record button on her iPhone.

    Understanding networking is a fundamental part of configuring complex environments on the internet. This has implications when trying to communicate between servers efficiently, developing secure network policies, and keeping your nodes organized. Every location or device on a network must be addressable. This is simply a term that means that it can be reached by referencing its designation under a predefined system of addresses. In the normal TCP/IP model of network layering, this is handled on a few different layers, but usually, when we refer to an address on a network, we are talking about an IP address.
