1. Rafaels Taco Hut has determined that its production facility has a design capacity of 525 tacos per day. The effective capacity, however, is 425 tacos per day. Lately Rafael has noticed that output has been 400 tacos per day. Compute both design and effective capacity utilization measures. What can you conclude?
2. Cathys Cake Bakery can comfortably produce 100 cakes in one day. If Cathy takes some unusual measures, such as hiring her two sisters to help in the kitchen and work overtime, she can produce up to 200 cakes in one day.
a. What are the design and effective capacities for Cathys Cake Bakery?
b. If Cathy is currently producing 105 cakes, compute the capacity utilization for both measures. What can you conclude?
3. Demand for more wildlife has grown at Wallys Wildlife Reserve, and it is considering expanding. One option is to expand by purchasing property next to the reserve that will be able to meet expected future demand. Another option is to expand the current reserve by a small amount now and take a wait-and-see attitude, with the possibility of a larger expansion in two years
Management has estimated the following chances for demand:
· The likelihood of demand being high is 0.70
· The likelihood of demand being low is 0.20
Profits for each alternative have been estimated as follows:
· Large expansion has an estimated profitability of either $45,000 or $20,000, depending on whether demand turns out to be high or low.
· Small expansion has a profitability of $10,000, assuming that demand is low.
· Small expansion with an occurrence of high demand would require considering whether to expand further. If the company expands at that point, the profitability is expected to be $30,000. If it does not expand further, the profitability is expected to be $7,000.
a. Draw a decision tree diagram for Wallys Wildlife Reserve.
b. Solve the decision tree you developed. What should Wallys Wildlife Reserve do?

Identify an agency or organization, where you would like to implement a criminal justice/law enforcement initiative with an organization in the private or public sector organization such as a police department, an educational/civic police partnership, state or federal agency, etc. (it may also be a generic organization such as a local police department).
Throughout this course, you will be utilizing and applying tactics, strategies, concepts of project management, and strategic planning in conjunction with a research project. All criminal justice agencies experience programs, planning and research that deal with current or future issues. Most organizations ask their leaders to develop initiatives for the current and future timeframe, which will help the organization achieve its objectives and goals. In your final assignment, you will conduct a research and analysis project about an initiative you would implement based on a topic of your choice.
Your project will entail:
Identifying a criminal justice/law enforcement initiative to be planned for this project
Conducting the research, including gathering quantitative data from a suggested website, which you will evaluate, collate, analyze and synthesize.
Outlining the process you will follow utilizing research, your education, and life experiences you have obtained up to this point, resulting in a plan of action to implement your project
Determining an evaluation of the project based on your expectations and those of the stakeholders.
The final product will be a paper that is 10-15 double-spaced (no less, no more!), APA formatted pages, including an abstract page.
Yes, it is a big project, but you will build this project a little at a time throughout the 8 weeks we are together. The interim assignments will be the foundation for the successful completion, and submission. Adjustments may be necessary along the way depending upon the topic and expected outcome. You will likely have to rearrange and integrate your mini-assignments to create a cohesive final product. The requirements for your Criminal Justice Capstone are:
Propose a non-experimental research topic rooted in a criminal justice/ law enforcement issue. (See the suggested topics provided below for inspiration)
Identify an agency or organization, where you would like to implement a criminal justice/law enforcement initiative with an organization in the private or public sector organization such as a police department, an educational/civic police partnership, state or federal agency, etc. (it may also be a generic organization such as a local police department).
Provide a description of this organization (size, demographics, jurisdiction, purpose)
The need for this initiative.
Define the stakeholders of the initiative, including the target audience.
Literature Review and Data Presentation
Identify the data you will need to collect.
Conduct and write a literature review highlighting the pertinent trends, thresholds (tolerances) and research appropriate for your initiative.
Collect data and provide a descriptive analysis of that data, which supports the need for the initiative.
Summary of the meaning of your literature review and data analysis
Plan for implementing your initiative
Evaluation plan
Be sure to read the criteria, by which your Criminal Justice Capstone paper will be evaluated before you write the paper, and again after you write your paper.

If you would like to work on another aspect of your interpersonal communication skills not mentioned above, please get your instructors approval before proceeding. Your final project for this class involves improving an aspect of your interpersonal communication skills. You will complete some work on this each week during the class. While five weeks is not enough time to develop high-level skills across the entire spectrum of interpersonal communication, it is enough to have a meaningful impact in an area of importance to you.
Brief skill area descriptions as well as reading lists are available for each of the six skill areas previously mentioned in the IPC Skill Area Resources
You will need to find at least three additional sources beyond those in the IPC Skill Area Resources. Sources may include articles, books, videos, interactive trainings, or other materials that have the potential to improve your selected skill area. Because these additional resources will contribute to your progress throughout the rest of the course, you should find them by Week 2. Note that you will not need to identify these resources until your Week 2 journal.
Live Learning sessions are available each week to support you with your IPC Skill Improvement Plan. You can also ask other class-related questions at Live Learning. All students in COM200 are required to attend one Live Learning session during the class but are encouraged to attend more. The day and time of Live Learning sessions will be given in a class announcement. You will confirm your attendance in an element of your Final Assignment.
Please include these
Identify your improvement goal. (one or two sentences)
Provide a motivation statement. Why do you want to improve this area of your interpersonal communication skills? (one-half to one page)
Review of literature: Identify gaps in the research and information packet about this skill area to extend your understanding and contribute to your skill improvement during the coming weeks. You can search for the resources you identify in this part during Week 2 and will be reporting on what you find in your Week 2 journal. (one-half to one page)
List personal goals for Weeks 2, 3, and 4 of the class. There will be weekly journal entries (viewable only by you and your instructor) where you share your progress on these. You should also keep a written record of the work you do on your improvement plan, as this will be a required element of the Final Assignment. (at least one page)
Describe how you will measure your progress toward your goal for your final Assignment. Try to be as specific as you can and identify progress you can actually measure or assess. (one half to one page)
