Project 2 GSCM 450

Scenario   Capstone project   Goal Statement: Our goal is to improve the overall mental health status of veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces and RCMP by up to 80% for those struggling with mental health challenges by facilitating real-time accessibility to a peer support platform utilizing a mobile app to fill the gap that currently exists when veterans are awaiting appointments for psychological supports that are currently funded by Veterans Affairs of Canada. We aim to reduce the strain on the general health system due to the repeated appointments with a veteran's primary care practitioner to inquire about further mental health resources and to improve a veterans quality of life while they are adjusting to civilian life in between their federally funded psychological supports.   Please answer in detail   1 communication strategy for the above project   2. Pilot or stakeholder feedback outcomes   3. Recommendation for next steps

The Stone River Textile Mill was inspected by OSHA and found to be in violation of a number of safety regulations. The OSHA inspectors ordered the mill to alter some existing machinery to make it safer (add safety guards, etc.); purchase some new machinery to replace older, dangerous machinery; and relocate some machinery to make safer passages and unobstructed entrances and exits. OSHA gave the mill only 35 weeks to make the changes; if the changes were not made by then, the mill would be fined $300,000. The mill determined the activities in a CPM/PERT network that would have to be completed and then estimated the indicated activity times, as shown in the following table: Construct the project network for this project and determine the following: a. Expected activity times b. Earliest and latest activity times and activity slack c. Critical path d. Expected project duration and variance e. The probability that the mill will be fined $300,000

Case Study Contract logistics is a growth market. Dachser Far East Ltd is a leading logistics operator. A definition of contract logistics is that the customer is not limited to using Dachser transport networks, but also commissions Dachser to take care of warehousing, picking, packaging, display building or other individual services.For the customers, the key factor is that the contract logistics provider can integrate their specific requirements into a standardised physical and IT network. It is very costeffective. Moreover, it ensures freight capacity utilisation is higher, which in turn keeps overall process costs lower than they would be if the companies handled all these tasks themselves. The final advantage of contract logistics services that form an integral part of logistics providers’ freight network, is security. Such systems offer direct access. Capacities can be guaranteed, even when there is a bottleneck in the market. Such one-stop shopping provides a global cost…
