Identify the functional area(s) that are favorably affected by the benefit.
Material Requirements Planning (MRP) is a methodology that translates master schedule requirements for end items into time-phased requirements for subassemblies, components, and raw materials. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a computerized system designed to connect all parts of a business organization as well as key portions of its supply chain to a single database for information sharing.As a consultant working in the area of business analysis, you are expected to make recommendations to clients regarding the optimization of business operations, including production, material control, quality, and delivery. In order to convey a sense of professionalism, self-efficacy, and value to the client, you have decided to create a detailed report that outlines the key components of MRP to recommend or caution against the installation of an MRP system.Since your services are rewarded primarily by the effective launch of MRP within the clients organization, you want to define certain business characteristics that are likely to undermine or block the effective application of MRP so that you will recognize and avoid consulting agreements that carry a high risk of failure. Knowing in advance, what these undesirable characteristics are puts you in a position to adjust your promise to deliver accurately or withdraw your name from the list of potential vendors for the client.Include the following in your report:A list of business operating characteristics best aligned with MRP (where MRP is most effective).A list of operating characteristics that render MRP ineffective or undesirable (when should a clientnotimplement MRP).Benefits of implementing or improving MRP in an organization (list at least 8 key areas of expected improvement, such as reduced lead times).Five selected items from your list of 8 expected improvements, along with descriptions about how a companion ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system might be used to link certain functional areas or operational activities to achieve and maximize each expected improvement effectively. This requires, for each of the five items, a minimum of two paragraphs that:Identify the functional area(s) that are favorably affected by the benefit.Describe ERP data elements (types of information) that serve as inputs and outputs of the ERP and MRP systems.Provide a real-world example that clearly reveals how the chosen improvement item influenced each functional area in one or more of these five key scorecard categories: Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, and Employee Morale.A summary of your thoughts on MRP.Support your paper with at least five (5) scholarly or peer-reviewed sources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.Length: 5-7 pages, not including assignment coversheet, title page, and reference page(s). Use topic section headings for each criterion listed above.Your response should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should also reflect professional business writing and current APA standards.

Describe what the contract and what the arbitration clause requires.

develop a business plan outline and a written executive summary of the key concepts of the business plan.
For this assignment, you will develop a business plan outline and a written executive summary of the key concepts of the business plan. Your target for this assignment is the Company you identified in the Business Plan Development assignment. You are not actually creating the video submission in this assignment, but you are creating the content you will present in your final presentation video.Listed below are the typical elements that are found in most simple business plans. Each section expresses details that are important to the plan and its goals and objectives as they relate to the overall growth of the organization. Some business plans focus on niche opportunities or special projects. Some are for the firm as a whole. In most cases the Executive Summary is developed after the full plan is completed and is used to bring all areas of the organization on board with the plan and how it will be achieved.Your objective is to create a niche element for the company you have identified and develop a simple business plan using these headings.For example, Southwest Airlines is a key employer based in Dallas. They fly to Hawaii and an interesting niche business plan might be to develop more of a first-class approach for flyers on this route. Listed below are some of the elements that would be important to developing this business plan. From them, you can develop a 3 to the 5-minute presentation of an Executive Summary of the plan. Your objective is to do the same for the company you have selected, and the business plan idea you have created.

Analyze any additional research that could be done in the future and provide solutions that could be implemented in the present regarding your selected topic. Under each major heading, summarize your point about that heading. Subheadings should briefly summarize research that may both support and disagree with each viewpoint, if applicable. This outline will form your roadmap for creating your Final Paper.In addition to your outline, submit a one- to two- page annotated bibliography of your scholarly sources for your Final Paper. Each source must include the APA formatted citation as well as a summary paragraph. The summary paragraph should contain four to five well-developed sentences in your own words (do not use the abstract included with journal articles) summarizing the source and describing its applicability to your selected topic. You are required to use a minimum of five scholarly sources that were published within the last five years and are cited according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Examples of scholarly sources include: peer-reviewed journal articles, research studies, professional websites with authored material, and government websites.
