Scenario E: Senior management at Futura Development is attending a corporate retreat, and the first item for discussion is corporate social responsibility (CSR). The group has discussed this before and then shot it down because it generally costs Futura’s shareholders in the form of reduced distributions. But the new VP, Gwen, is about to explain why she believes CSR will actually benefit the shareholders and Futura management alike. Her team begins the presentation with a discussion of CSR, both its current definition and reconciliation of past views. Sergei then discusses the importance of being a good global corporate citizen by supporting the local school system. Madison takes the floor to make the case for doing what is expected by global stakeholders even though there are no laws requiring those actions. Finally Gwen wraps the discussion up by defining why Futura should take legal responsibility for the firm’s performance.   In Scenario E, Sergei’s presentation most likely focuses on the _____ responsibility of the firm.

2. A nurse is caring for an 18 year-old female client who comes to the provider’s office for a follow-up of treatment of acne vulgaris. The patient was prescribed the topical treatment tretinoin (Retin-A). Which of the following statements made by the patient would indicate the need for further teaching?

A jar-filling process has a lower specification limit of 9.5 oz. and an upper specification of 10.5 oz. The standard deviation is 0.5 oz. and the mean is 10 oz. Which value comes closest to the standard deviation required in this process to achieve 2,000 ppm defective?

Suppose you manage the snack shop at a movie theater. Eliminating adding butter to the popcorn would be one of the things you could do to make your popcorn process more lean.

How much could the manufacturer save annually by switching from the current order quantity to the optimal order quantity?  Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Say you have installed two cameras mounted on towers, separated by some unknown distance, and aimed down at the same area of interest on the ground (images overlap each other). All interior orientation parameters for the cameras are known, but nothing else. Describe, in detail, a method using relative orientation and 3D coordinate transformation, to generate a dense, absolutely-oriented 3D map (point cloud) of the overlap area.  Assume you have access to (can walk to) six small, widely distributed ground patches in the overlap area, but don’t have access to any other location in the overlap area.  Almost all of the overlap area has texture and uniqueness suitable for automatic image matching.  Include the observations and resolved parameters for each step and how the parameters are used in subsequent steps.  You do not need to include equations. The only hardware you have access to is your office computer, a total station, and a base-rover RTK pair. Describe specific analytical photogrammetric processes:  “Run the images through Pix4D” is not a valid answer for this question.

A can-filling process has a lower specification limit of 11.9 oz. and an upper specification limit of 12.1 oz. The standard deviation is 0.1 oz. and the mean is 12 oz. What is the parts per million defective? Choose the closest answer.
