    Technology continues to play a huge role in streamlining operations management. For example, Kodak has a freestanding kiosk where technology and customer labor join to create an output. In this example, you insert your digital camera memory card, choose the finish, quantity, and size of your hard copy pictures, and then print.
    Airline check-in kiosks, automatic teller machines, online banking, and firms like eBay, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Zillow, and Zappos are also excellent examples where self-service and technology merge to deliver a product, and they are good use cases for this discussion forum.
    Describe a situation where self-service and technology help create and deliver a customer benefit package to the customer. Provide examples of how such a system can cause a defect, mistake, or service upset. When possible, select a different example than your peers.
    Your initial response should be a minimum of 200 words. Graduate-school students learn to assess the perspectives of several scholars.

    Technology continues to play an essential role in streamlining operations management. Wearable devices are among the crucial innovations with the potential to ease individuals’ daily operations conveniently (Feehan et al., 2018). Fitbit represents one of the technologies individuals can use to self-report their health status, with medical professionals viewing and making critical decisions based on the collected data. The Fitbit ECG app creates and records an ECG when you take a 30-second reading on your Fitbit wrist-worn product (Kloppenborg et al., 2023). The Fitbit ECG app analyzes the recording, presents the results on your Fitbit wrist-worn product, and allows you to view your results on your phone or tablet. Self-collected data can be easily used to analyze individuals’ medical history, conveniently reducing the need to attend healthcare centers and get healthcare providers to collect the necessary data. The device offers a perfect way for individuals with illnesses requiring regular blood pressure, oxygen levels, and activity levels to easily monitor their conditions and transmit the information to appropriate devices for decision-making.
    However, it is worth noting that the device is associated with specific tracking errors. As with any device, it could be better and more foolproof. It can miss some tracking information or add information that needs to be more accurate. It is often recommended that individuals watch closely to ensure they get the fitness credit they deserve and nothing they have yet to earn.

    Self-service check-in kiosks in hotels significantly enhance the guest experience by offering convenience, speed, and personalization. These kiosks allow guests to check in, select room preferences, and obtain room keys without interacting with staff, streamlining hotel operations and improving customer satisfaction.
    Benefits to the Customer
    Convenience and Speed: Self-service kiosks reduce wait times, allowing guests to complete the check-in process quickly, avoiding long lines and delays.
    Personalization: Guests can select room types and preferences directly through the kiosk, ensuring their individual needs are met.
    24/7 Availability: These kiosks operate around the clock, accommodating guests at any time, which is particularly beneficial for late-night or early-morning arrivals and departures.
    Potential Issues and Service Upsets
    Despite these advantages, self-service check-in systems can lead to defects, mistakes, or service upsets:
    Technical Glitches: Kiosks may malfunction or experience software issues, such as failing to process check-ins correctly or not dispensing room keys, causing frustration and delays that require staff intervention.
    User Error: Some guests may struggle with the technology, leading to incorrect inputs or incomplete check-ins, necessitating additional assistance from hotel staff.
    Security Concerns: Ensuring the security of personal information entered into kiosks is critical to prevent data breaches and protect guest information.
    Imagine a guest uses a kiosk to check in late at night, successfully navigating the system and receiving their room key. However, upon arriving at the room, they find it already occupied due to a synchronization error between the kiosk and the hotel’s reservation database. This forces the frustrated guest to seek help from the limited night staff, diminishing the intended convenience.
    Self-service check-in kiosks in hotels offer substantial benefits but also introduce potential risks. Effective operations management, robust technology infrastructure, user support, and strong security measures are crucial to delivering a seamless and satisfactory customer experience.

  • Title: “Achieving IPCC Targets and Projecting Global Energy Consumption: Insights from Jones & Warner (2016)” The IPCC target of limiting global warming to < 2 deg C requires a cumulative CO2 emissions budget of 1 trillion tonnes

    After reading the Jones & Warner (2016) article, address the following questions:
    The paper mentions the IPCC target of keeping global warming to < 2 deg C. What cumulative CO2 emissions are required to achieve this (Gt)? The authors start with population model to 2100 and then project per person energy use. Describe their energy projection. Globally, how many GJ/person-year do they predict in mid-century and at 2100? The authors justify their projection, qualitatively, at the end of section 3 in terms of trends in developed and more populous developing countries. Describe their justification for an increasing global per capita energy consumption going significantly above 80 GJ/person-year. Fig. 3 has two plots that go a long way to summarizing the whole paper - provide a short interpretation of these two figures.

  • “Inventory Process Assessment and Audit Planning for Keeping You Warm, LLC”

    Files needed for input:
    • #2 Inventory Process Narrative.docx
    • #3 Inventory Control Listing.xlsx
    IMPORTANT: So far, we have reiterated that sensitive client information is not to be uploaded to public instances of AI technology platforms. This may seem counterintuitive when we are uploading client business processes in this portion of the case. However, it is important to point out that most audit firmshave their own proprietary AI technology that is internally confined and monitored, allowing employees to ask more client-specific questions (subject to audit engagement letter allowable data use considerations). These are not to be posted to public instances.
    As the tool does not have specific information about account balances, risk of material misstatements, industry factors, the client’s business environment, nor other risk and fraud factors, including those external to the company (i.e., industry-specific), auditors must exercise their professional judgment to determine the appropriate procedures.
    Requirements (total 100): Please consider the following hypothetical situation: your engagement team was recently engaged to conduct the audit of a national manufacturing company, Keeping You Warm, LLC, that designs and manufactures cold-weather accessories including wool hats, gloves, and socks. You are an audit associate assigned to the inventory process for this year’s audit. You have just completed walk-through meetings with the client and are currently working through the initial risk assessment of the inventory process. Read through the Inventory Process Narrative.docx supplemental file received from the company’s key inventory contact.
    1) [30 points] Use the company’s inventory process narrative in the LLM, along with the current list of inventory controls in place (Inventory Control Listing.xlsx). Where are there potential gaps identified in controls? Identify additional controls that can be added to each step of the process. Please list the LLM’s response below (10 points) and comment on the proposed controls. In your opinion, which are critical for the company to add (20 pints)? 2) [30 points] Based on the company’s current process narrative and controls already in place (not including the suggested controls in your response to #3), have the tool provide an initial risk assessment of the company’s current-year inventory process in the aggregate (not separated by subprocess) (10 points). Use your professional judgment to comment on any oversights within the tool’s response (20 points).
    3) [15 points] As your team is finalizing its audit plan for the year, ask the LLM what substantive procedures it recommends performing over the various inventory account balances, given all the above information. What procedures does it recommend? 4) [15 points] Based on the recommended substantive procedures from the previous question, ask your LLM to generate an initial Prepared-by-Client (PBC) list to deliver to the client for interim and year-end procedures. A PBC list includes all of the various schedules, documents, or sample support needed in order to complete your audit procedures.

  • Title: Addressing Talent Turnover and Ethics in Employee Training and Development

    Talent Turnover and
    Ethics
    Introduction: Using the appropriate training
    and development methods can have significant effects on employee performance
    and the success or failure of a company. Similarly, ethics also can impact how
    employees and the company are perceived, which can ultimately affect the
    success of the organization.
    Read the scenario and
    address the checklist items regarding employee training, development, and
    ethics.
    Scenario: The technology company you work
    for has had difficulties resulting from expert employees leaving the company
    after only 6 months to a year of employment. This turnover has caused client
    software projects to not be completed as scheduled. The CEO has turned to you
    as the HR director to find out what is wrong and to recommend a remedy. You do
    some initial investigations only to find that the salaried, full-time employees
    at this level of expertise are working 60 hours a week or more on a regular basis.
    You are concerned not only for the business implications of this attrition
    problem but the ethical implications.
    Checklist:
    Describe the company’s problem in
    your own words from a business and ethical perspective.
    Choosing one of the ethical approaches, describe what ethical approach you would use for
    the development of these employees and explain why.
    Describe the training and
    development methods you would use to improve employee morale, motivation,
    and to reduce attrition. Include two specific examples that improve
    employee morale, motivation, and reduce attrition.
    Submit your minimum
    2-page (i.e., 500 words)
