Lagging indicator

7 Strengths and gaps of the current practice There is both positive and negatives in the current processes within Hussmann when it comes to setting business strategy, workforce planning and applying metrics to monitor their success of the warehouse. 7.1 Hussmann Strengths The current strengths of Hussmann include the use of a cross functional leadership team (Robbins 2012) to coordinate business strategy, having a Human resources department to coordinate the recruitment, retention and development activities (Boxall 2011) of warehouse staff. In addition to a daily communication of the IFOT metric to several stakeholders, which can be used for workforce planning in an ongoing manner as a lagging indicator. 7.2 Hussmann Weaknesses The weaknesses…

key elements are “omitted from the indicator” and whether or not “inappropriate elements are included in the indicator.” Although content validation is an “important contribution” to measurement validity, its chief limitation is that “alone it is incomplete, for two reasons”: “first, although a necessary condition, the findings of content validation are not a sufficient for establishing validity” and second “the trade-off between parsimony and completeness that arises because indicators…

determined with a solution of a known concentration. In this case, the known solution, NaOH, is dripped into the unknown, unknown #2, with a burette. The NaOH is dripped until the reaction is complete, while measuring the pH per amount of base added. Using the data collected, the equivalence point can be found and the concentration can be calculated. Then the KA can be found at specific points (20%, 40%, etc). After finding the KA’s at specific points the average can be taken and compared with…

glucose and mannitol carbohydrate and produce gas. Majority of microorganisms obtain energy from either aerobic or anaerobic respiration, or through fermentation. The different types of fermentation pathways used by bacteria can aid in differentiating them among groups or species of bacteria because each pathway depends on the complement of enzymes available for the cell (Department of Biological Sciences, 2015). The identification of the bacteria can be determined through the characteristic end…

The endpoints of the pH indicator method were observed at 33.6 mL, 38.8 mL and 44.6 mL respectively. In the visual identification the endpoints were found at 33.8 mL, 39.2 ml and 44. 6 mL these value can be observed in the figures 5, 8, and 11. In the numerical differentiation method the endpoints found were 33.6 mL, 39 mL and 44.6 mL. From The final method, Grant function, the endpoints were 33.4 mL, 38.4 mL and 44.6 respectively the values can be observed in the 7, 10, and 13. The endpoints…

Acid, below-normal pH, causes many problems in our world today—from drinks to teeth, from pollution of industry to natural disasters. Acid is a chemical substance that can subdue alkalis, can dissolve specific metals and can turn them into salt, such as calcium, turns red on blue litmus paper, is corrosive or sour-tasting when it comes to liquid, generates pain in wounds, and turns colorless when placed in phenolphthalein which is used as a basic to acid indicator ("Definition of acid in…

well-isolated colony “pure culture” and tested using a gram stain to determine morphology, arrangement, size and verify purity again. Once purity has been verified, a portion of the same colony is transferred to a two separate nutrient agar slants and incubated. This will be the pure culture working stock to be used for future testing and the other slat will be used as a reserve stock if needed. Using the working stock, the following tests are preformed aseptically: oxidase test and the reagent…

given by using litmus paper and pH machine. The Experiment was kind of successful except for an issue with one of the solutions. When we tried to figure out the pH by looking at the litmus paper; we were stuck between a pH of 6 and 7. The best choice was to choose a number in between 6 and 7. Based on the two methods used to find the pH the results were close to each other. In this experiment we were given the choice to choose eight substances and figure out the pH of these substances. To…

Pre-lab: An endpoint is indicated by some form of indicator at the end of a titration. The equivalence point is when the moles of a standard solution equal the moles of a solution of an unknown concentration. The endpoint of the solution should be a faint pink color. If the color is too dark of a pink that means that it is overly titrated. The independent variable is the amount of base being added to the solution. The dependant variable is the indicator. The constant variable is the acid…

Lactate dehydrogenase was assayed according to the method of King (1965) [21]. Reagents required: 1. 0.1 M glycine buffer: 7.5 g of glycine and 5.85 mg of sodium chloride were dissolved in one litre of distilled water. 2. Buffered substrate: 2.76 g of lithium lactate was dissolved in 125 ml of glycine buffer containing 75 ml of 0.1 N sodium hydroxide solution. This was prepared just before use. 3. 0.4 N NaOH. 4. 5.0 mg of NAD+ was dissolved in 1.0 ml of distilled water just before use. 5.…
