Discussion Post: Risks Efficiency Reshoring and Reviews
Part I: The ‘Now' Wedding-Part A and Part B" of your textbook, and imagine that you are in charge of planning the wedding discussed in the case.
After reading the case, address the following prompts based on the case details.
• Determine and describe the known and unknown risks that may prevent the wedding from taking place on January 21, including those listed in Part B. What are some ways that these risks will affect the wedding planning project?
• Describe how you, as the wedding planner, will respond to these risks to ensure that the wedding will still occur on the predetermined date.
Part II: Reflect on what you have learned in the first four units of this course and complete this three-part journal:
• Part 1: Production managers strive to employ their labor efficiently and to increase productivity. Are these the same concept, or are efficiency and productivity different? What is your experience with this? Describe in detail the ways they are the same or the ways they are different.
• Part 2: There is growing interest in bringing manufacturing jobs back to the United States. What do you think companies can do to bring back jobs (i.e., reshoring)? Information on reshoring can be found at the following web page.
• Part 3: Many product and service reviews are available online. Some are positive, and some are negative. Do you think they accurately represent the actual product quality? Do the reviews affect your purchase decisions? Why do you think consumers take the time to write them? Do you post online reviews?
