Watch the Managing Knowledge video located in Chapter 11 in MyMISLab (see instructions below), and then respond to the following scenario:Access this video by going to the MyMISLab area under the course Table of Contents menu and selecting the MyMISLab Multimedia Library link.Select the Chapter 11 title from the Chapter drop-down list.Select All Sections from the Section drop-down list.Select the Video checkbox from Media Type.Click the Find Now button.The results are below the search area. Select Chapter 11 Video: Managing Knowledge.In this scenario, what type of information would you gather? Explain the difference between explicit and tacit knowledge. How would you ensure that both departments have the data that they need to be more efficient? What are some ways you might approach benchmarking to measure the effectiveness of your changes?If you have any questions, you can post them here as well.

Provide two real-world, detailed examples of operant conditioning and two real-world, detailed examples of respondent conditioning.
This week, you explored two types of learningoperant and respondent conditioning. With respondent conditioning, individuals emit reflexive behavior in the presence of certain stimuli. With operant conditioning, behaviors continue to occur, or not, due to the consequences that follow them. As behavior analysts, we frequently use operant conditioning to teach new behaviors (and eliminate old behaviors) by manipulating the consequences that follow them. Respondent conditioning is also used by behavior analysts, for example, by establishing various reinforcers through pairing of stimuli.For this assignment, complete the following:Define operant and respondent conditioning.Describe the similarities and differences between these two types of learning.Provide two real-world, detailed examples of operant conditioning and two real-world, detailed examples of respondent conditioning.
How sensitive is this decision to the assumed values?
Write a short technical report by considering this scenario (making and justifying assumptions as necessary):Automotive Supplier of headlights (plant focused on supporting a single brand with 6 different model variants); annual production is ~350k vehicles per year (x2 headlights); four different light options per model variant; ~30 components per headlight with 80% overlap; much of the assembly is manual; this is a new plant start up (new OEM product line)What information is needed to decide whether to manually or automatically assembly the products?Assuming values for the needed information, what decision would you recommend (at a system level) for manual/automated assembly?How sensitive is this decision to the assumed values?What other considerations would be relevant, in your opinion, and why?
