The rule for first normal form (1NF) is a table in which the intersection of every column and record contains only one value. In other words a table that contains more than one atomic value in the intersection of one or more column for one or more records is not in 1NF. The non 1NF table can be converted to 1NF by restructuring original table by removing the column with the multi-values along with a copy of the primary key to create a new table. See Figure 8.4 for an example of this approach.…

However, the large drop in PalmKid’s contribution margin per unit combined with a decrease in the actual number of PalmPro units sold as well as a drop in the actual contribution margin per unit below budget, led to the total contribution margin being much lower than budgeted. Other factors could be discussed here––for example, it seems that the PalmKid did not achieve much success with a three digit price point––selling price was budgeted at $149 but dropped to $102. At the same time,…

If one of the machines should malfunction, machine one would be the appropriate choice for a back up. The chances of machine one breaking down is far less possible than the other two machines. Reliability is the probability that a machine will function properly for a specified time (Heizer, J. and Render, B. 2010). I recommend the following things to keep the machines up and running with the best possible efficiency: regular/preventative maintenance and well-trained personnel.…

What are the three elements of the triple constraint and why is an understanding of their relative weight important in exercising control over a project? The term ‘triple constraint’ refers to the fact that any project takes place within the envelope of the time it is expected to take, the budget available and some understanding of what has to be delivered, expressed as scope, product or quality.
