The real food company

The real food company The real food company 1.0 Background of EAT the real food company: Eat was founded in 1996 with ambition of providing the best food, soup and coffee in London at reasonable prices. The first shop was opened at Villers street, WC2, London. At present EAT with 100 shops continue to strive for highest possible quality of food, service and shop standards in the same way they used to do since from the beginning. EATs secret of success is in their kitchen, they make all food products on their own i.e. they dont buy a single mass produced sandwich, soup or salad from any supplier. They offer variety of foods like sandwiches, soups, pies, salads, wraps, sushi, desserts, baked goods, breakfast, cold drinks juices and great coffees. 2.0 Planning process and its importance: Planning is a formalised procedure to produce an articulated result, in the form of an integrated system of decisions. The importance of planning to organisations will help in co-ordinating their activities; to make sure that their business is accounted for future and to have control on the business. Chernev (2009) describes marketing management consists of three step process and they are analysing the situation, developing an action plan and implementing the plan. Situation analysis will help in providing the overview of the company and environment in which it operates and also it helps in identifying potential markets to compete. It begins with analysing five key factors which are as follows as identified by Chernev (2009). Potential customers- Most of the EAT shops are located near offices, tourist places and transit places. So their major customers are tourists, workers and tourists visiting to London. Companys goals- EAT goal is to provide best food, soup and coffee in London at reasonable prices. Collaborators- Competitors- EAT companys potential competitors are Pret a Manger, Starbucks, McDonald and KFC. All these companies are also in the same market targeting same customers. Economic, social-cultural, technological, regulatory and physical factors- The current economic situation of the UK is under recession. Many people are unemployed and still losing their jobs. Recession has had an impact on tourist coming from different parts of the UK, as well as from other parts of the world. Social-cultural effect on EAT has had a very little impact on its business, because the type of food EAT produces suits the eat habits of most of the Londoners. Except the fact that London is multi cultural ethnicity, and among them most of the Muslim community and they do not eat non-veg food other than halal ones. According to official research collated for The Times as cited in Kerbaj (2009) Muslim population in Britain has grown by more than 500,000 to 2.4 million in just four years. Technology has had a significant effect on the EAT business, the introduction of readymade coffee machines reduced the customer waiting time and increased the productivity of the business. 3.0 Internal analysis of EAT 3.1 Mc Kinsey 7-S frame work: Mc Kinseys 7-S recognises seven important factors for internal effectiveness and efficiency of an organisation. The key elements of 7-S are as follows and is depicted in the below figure. Strategy: EAT prepares all food products in their own kitchen, and do not buy any single mass produced sandwich from any supplier. One day is the shelf life of all products for maximum freshness and quality Structure: Each EAT shop has shop manager, assistant shop manager followed by team leader, lead barista and team member. Skills: Employees of EAT are skilled in preparing delicious sandwiches, soups, pies, salads, desserts, and drinks. Moreover they are also skilled at delivering great customer services. Staff: EAT staff get training in their academy, and recognised for doing a great job. They are further encouraged to improve on personal development. All these factors motivate the employees and increases their productivity and loyalty to organisation. Style: EAT is adopting team management style in Blake and Mouton managerial grid as cited in Mullins (2005) which gives equally high concern to productivity as well as to the staff. This type of management style is the best in the business. Systems: EAT follows the system of delivering best quality food, along with it providing friendly and fun experience to every customers. Shared values: EAT believes in honest, simple and natural work space environment providing quality food and great customer service. 3.2 Advantages and disadvantages of Mckinsey 7-S Advantages: This tool covers the almost every aspect of the business and all major parts of the firm. This tool helps in analysing the internal situation of the organisation. This tool helps in implementing the organisational changes once the organisation has understood its internal situation. Disadvantages: A detailed case study on the firm is required to analyse it using this tool. This tool does not consider about the external factors influencing the organisation and presents only of the internal situation of firm. All the 7-S of Mckinsey are interrelated and if any one element is changed it affects others as well. 4.0 External analysis of EAT 4.1 PEST analysis 4.1.1 Political factors: Elections will be held before May 2010 and new government may alter the environmental rules which will have low impact on the organisation. Labour government might win the upcoming elections, and increase the basic pay rise of an employee which will have high impact on the firm. Customer protection law has a great impact on the firm especially for service and hospitality organisation. EAT has to ensure that it provides sufficient information about the food they produce and its ingredient. 4.1.2 Economical factors: Current market is struggling with recession; many people have lost the jobs and still losing it. It has negative impact on the firm. The firm has to pay tax for the government. 4.1.3 Social factors: London is a multi ethnic city, so eating habits of the people differs from person to person. This factor has a medium impact on the firm. Lifestyle of the people has a great impact on the firm. Now a days people like to carry their food along with them, rather than sitting and eating in the restaurant. Considering the fact that Muslim population in Britain has grown by more than 500,000 to 2.4 million in just four years, according to official research collated for The Times as cited in Kerbaj (2009). This factor has a medium impact on the firm. 4.1.4 Technological factors: Technology has been evolving and there is no end for it, introduction of readymade coffee machine have had a great impact on sales reducing the customer waiting time. Internet has a strong impact on the business helping customers to know about the locations of EAT braches near to place where they live or work. Also they get to know about the variety of products they make. 4.2 Advantages and disadvantages of PEST analysis: Advantages: This tool helps in determining the external factors which have positive and negative impact on the firms growth. This tool helps in identifying its business survival according to the surroundings. This tool is simple and only costs time to do. Disadvantages: This tool tells focuses only on the external environmental analysis based on assumptions. But in reality assumptions may go wrong and strategy is not of worth. This tool covers only external environment, but the results to need to be considered along with other factors for example firm itself, competitors and type of industry in which it is operating. Changes in the environment make this tool difficult to implement developments and it will affect the firm in the future. 4.2 Porters five forces Industry rivalry: EAT is in food industry sector where in, there are lot of other big competitors like Pret a manger, Star bucks coffee, McDonalds and KFC. These companies are also well settled in the business and have good market share. So industry rivalry among the competitors is high because of too many competitors in the same market. Supplier power: The supplier has a low bargaining power with firm because, because there are lot of suppliers producing the same raw materials for the food industry sector. Buyer power: Since EAT business is retail one the buyer power has less influence on its business. On the contrary, care should be taken to deliver quality food and great customer service if not it brings bad reputation to the business. The effect of it will be losing customers in large proportion. New entrants: It is very difficult for a new entrant to start business in the same industry as EAT is doing. Because since EAT is in hospitality sector, it takes years to get recognised with quality food and great customer service. Threat of substitutes: Now a days people are turning to readymade packed foods which are convenient to carry to their work places or homes. Because of recession as the prices of packed foods are cheap they are attracted to them. Advantages of porters five forces: This tool helps in identifying the profitability of a new product or business. It helps in identifying who has better power buyer or supplier. Disadvantages of porters five forces: It does not account the rapid changes that are happening in present world, so even a new entrant can come with some new methods and straight away make profits. 5.0 SWOT analysis Strengths Skills of employees. Strategy of firm. Trained employees in cooking delicious foods and delivering great customer service. Wide range of food products in menu. Brand reputation doesnt allow new entrants to succeed immediately. Opportunities Joint ventures with supermarkets to increase the market share. Introduction of online order and delivery systems. Introduction of low priced food products consisting of only basic ingredients. Weakness High priced food products. Limited funds available to expand the business. Inconsistence of quality and service across all branches. Threats Recession has had an impact on the business. Changing eat habits of the people. Similar products offered by other companies at low price. 6.0 Ansoff matrix: The EAT can make profits by stepping into product development by adopting one of the two strategies introducing online delivery system to their products gives tough competition to Pret a manger that are already in the same business. Because there are some factors which are in favour of this purpose and they are weather conditions may hamper the interest of going to restaurants and some people want to enjoy their meals at their residence itself. The second strategy EAT can adopt is introduction of low priced food products. According to Farnham (2009) most of the people are abandoning restaurants and are turning to low priced food products because of recession. EAT can turn to low priced food range by reducing the number of ingredients but not all comprising with quality or service. 7.0 Marketing Mix elements Product: According to Chernev (2009) a product should have certain features that make it unique in the market. EATs products are known for its delicious and high quality, but introduction of Halal foods in their menu will attract handsome of customers to their restaurant. As we have discussed in the external environment analysis, London is a multi ethnicity city and in it Muslim population is increasing day by day. It has grown to more than 500,000 to 2.4 million in just four years Kerbaj (2009). Price: EATs food price has had a significant effect on the customer behaviour, as majority of them were abandoning the restaurants and are turning to basic foods with less ingredients in it. Because of recession many people are losing their jobs and reducing their level of expenditure and trying to save money. Introduction of low priced foods with less ingredients but not comprising with quality of food will help in attracting the customers. Place: Most of the EAT shops are located near commercial places, tourist places and transit places which are easily accessible places by people. However to increase further sales of the firm, it is suggestible to implement online order and delivery systems with the help of internet technology. In this way it can target the customers who are of big families and like to have meals at their premises itself. Promotion: EAT has to promote its brand in one of the fastest way of communication channels. By advertising in the daily news paper, radio channels, local television channels in London, internet and by leaflet distribution it has chances of promoting its new products in the market.

Null Hypothesis

Why We Don’t â€Å"Accept† the Null Hypothesis by Keith M. Bower, M. S. and James A. Colton, M. S. Reprinted with permission from the American Society for Quality When performing statistical hypothesis tests such as a one-sample t-test or the AndersonDarling test for normality, an investigator will either reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, based upon sampled data. Frequently, results in Six Sigma projects contain the verbiage â€Å"accept the null hypothesis,† which implies that the null hypothesis has been proven true.This article discusses why such a practice is incorrect, and why this issue is more than a matter of semantics. Overview of Hypothesis Testing In a statistical hypothesis test, two hypotheses are evaluated: the null (H0) and the alternative (H1). The null hypothesis is assumed true until proven otherwise. If the weight of evidence leads us to believe that the null hypothesis is highly unlikely (based upon probability theory), then we hav e a statistical basis upon which we may reject the null hypothesis. A common misconception is that statistical hypothesis tests are designed to select the more likely of two hypotheses.Rather, a test will stay with the null hypothesis until enough evidence (data) appears to support the alternative. The amount of evidence required to â€Å"prove† the alternative may be stated in terms of a confidence level (denoted X%). The confidence level is often specified before a test is conducted as part of a sample size calculation. We view the confidence level as equaling one minus the Type I error rate (? ). A Type I error is committed when the null hypothesis is incorrectly rejected. An ? value of 0. 05 is typically used, corresponding to 95% confidence levels.The p-value is used to determine if enough evidence exists to reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative. The p-value is the probability of incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis. The two possible conclusions, af ter assessing the data, are to: 1. Reject the null hypothesis (p-value ? ) and conclude that there is not enough evidence to state that the alternative is true at the pre-determined confidence level of X%. Note that it is possible to state the alternative to be true at the lower confidence level of 100*(1 – p-value)%. Ronald A.Fisher succinctly discusses the key point of our paper: In relation to any experiment we may speak of†¦ the â€Å"null hypothesis,† and it should be noted that the null hypothesis is never proved or established, but is possibly disproved, in the course of experimentation. Every experiment may be said to exist only in order to give the facts a chance of disproving the null hypothesis. 1 A Helpful Analogy: The U. S. Legal System Consider the example of the legal system in the United States of America. A person is considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.We may state this particular decision-making process in the form of a hypo thesis test, as follows: H0: Person is innocent vs. H1: Person is not innocent (i. e. , guilty) The responsibility then falls upon the prosecution to build a case to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. It should be borne in mind that a jury will never find a person to be â€Å"innocent. † The defendant would be found â€Å"not guilty† in such a situation; i. e. , the jury has failed to reject the null hypothesis. Decisions Based on Data We must keep in mind, of course, that it is always possible to draw an incorrect conclusion based upon sampled data.There are two kinds of error we can make: †¢ Type I error. When the null hypothesis is rejected, practitioners refer to the Type I error when they present results, using language such as: â€Å"We reject the null hypothesis at the 5% significance level,† or â€Å"We reject the null hypothesis at the 95% confidence level. † †¢ Type II error. A second possible mistake involves incorrectly failing t o reject the null hypothesis. The power of a test is defined as one minus the Type II error rate, and is therefore the probability of correctly rejecting H0. The sample size plays an important role in determining the statistical power of a test.When statisticians address small sample sizes, they often refer to the power to justify their concerns. One may argue that the sample size would be too low to correctly detect a difference from the hypothesized value, if that difference truly existed. Example of a Test with Low Power Consider a test that compares the mean of a process to a target value. The null and alternative hypotheses are, respectively: H0: Process mean on target vs. H1: Process mean different from target Suppose two observations are collected daily to monitor for a change in the process mean (i. e. , n = 2). Assume a one-sample t-test is carried out at the ? 0. 05 significance level (95% confidence level) and the resulting p-value is above 0. 05. Fig. 1 One-Sample t-Test As is shown in Figure 1, there is less than a 50% chance (power = 0. 4944) such a test will correctly reject the null hypothesis even when the difference between the process mean and the target is six standard deviations. This is obviously an enormous statistical difference, yet the test (owing to the small sample size) would not be sensitive to it. The danger in concluding the process is on target with a sample size of two, for this example, is evident. ImplicationsAssessing and relaying findings in a cogent manner is critical for Six Sigma practitioners. In statistical hypothesis testing procedures, this means that investigators should avoid misleading language such as that which implies â€Å"acceptance† of the null hypothesis. Reference th 1.

One-eyed Mother Reaction paper

A very touching, affecting, and inspiring story that we watch, about a one-eyed mother with her daughter that has disrespect, unloved, and disgrace with her. Her daughter feels that her mother is an embarrassment for her which totally shows how that person despised her mother. For a daughter with one-eyed mother, she felts embarrassment, ashamed, and disappointment. She sees the negative side, actually the negative physical aspect of her mother through the years that her mother taken are for her.Just because her mother has a one eye that she didn't even bother questioning on why her mother Just only have a one eye. And that is because of her, her mother donated her one eye for her because her daughter born with Just have a one eye only. And she wants that her daughter didn't experience the feeling of loneliness that her give to her mother. I bother on why and how that daughter treats her parent, mother in that way.Instead of showing disrespect for her mother that is fervently able, s he Just take good care, show support and most especially she must show love and affection. And she does that to her mother through her whole life until she became a mother too. She didn't even bother to give back to her mother for taking care of her, for loving her, and for giving a good education and good life for her. How cruel Is that? For me, I didn't see myself doing that to my parents or even to my loved ones. I am a very lovable and caring person to the persons that I loved.I ant see that my mother feels that way and I can't do that to her because, I loved her so much. No words can express how I love my mom also my dad so; I can't do such thing like hers. Being a daughter you must show the love and affection to your parents because they always sacrifice the thing that they can give to their daughter and son. I felt so much sadness. I learned that you should love your parents or your loved ones unconditionally because It gives the happiness that you need and happiness that the y also need.

Example of Molar Mass Calculation

You can calculate the molar mass or the mass of one mole of an element or molecule if you know the formula for the substance and have a periodic table or table of atomic masses. Here are some worked examples of the molar mass calculation. How to Calculate Molar Mass The molar mass is the mass of one mole of a sample. To find the molar mass, add the atomic masses (atomic weights) of all of the atoms in the molecule. Find the atomic mass for each element by using the mass given in the Periodic Table or table of atomic weights. Multiply the subscript (number of atoms) times the atomic mass of that element and add the masses of all of the elements in the molecule to get the molecular mass. Molar mass usually is expressed in grams (g) or kilograms (kg). Molar Mass of an Element The molar mass of sodium metal is the mass of one mole of Na. You can look up that answer from the table: 22.99 g. You may be wondering why the molar mass of sodium isnt just twice its atomic number, the sum of the protons and neutrons in the atom, which would be 22. This is because the atomic weights given in the periodic table are an average of the weights of the isotopes of an element. Basically, the number of protons and neutrons in an element may not be the same. The molar mass of oxygen is the mass of one mole of oxygen. Oxygen forms a divalent molecule, so this is the mass of one mole of O2. When you look up the atomic weight of oxygen, you find it is 16.00 g. Therefore, the molar mass of oxygen is: 2 x 16.00 g 32.00 g Molar Mass of a Molecule Apply the same principles to calculate the molar mass of a molecule. The molar mass of water is the mass of one mole of H2O. Add together the atomic masses of all of the atoms of hydrogen and water in a molecule of water: 2 x 1.008 g (hydrogen) 1 x 16.00 g (oxygen) 18.02 g For more practice, download or print these molar mass worksheets: Formula or Molar Mass Worksheet (pdf)Formula or Molas Mass Worksheet Answers (pdf)

Unfortunately, even as a human and realized that it was either going to be adaptation or getting disappears without a trace out of this country, but my finances n arrowed it down to the first choice. When someone stops by your home to visit, you have to ask them if they want something to eat or drink as a tradition, and if they refuse, you have got them something anyway. When you invite others for dinner or function, generally you should provide them with enough resource as the host, although it is not unusual for the invitees to bring something too, depending on how many people are coming. When you invite others to go out eat at a restaurant, there is no assumption that you will be automatically obliged to pay the costs of all meals, unless it is a special occasion such as a birthday, in which case you will be so obliged. In addition, on occasions where you want to invite people, special invitation should be made explicitly for the occasion, and by asking others if they want to get something to eat is ambiguous.

Veterinary And Health Aspects Of Toxocara -Myassignmenthelp.Com

Question: Discuss About The Veterinary And Health Aspects Of Toxocara? Answer: Introduction Toxocariasis or Toxocara canis is a round worm that resides in the intestines of foxes. This is the most common disease from which a fox gets infected. This round worm when produce eggs gets released into the environment through the faeces of the infected animal and it increases the chances of soil contamination. This increases the chances of contracting the disease toxocariasis by the other foxes and the cattle, that come in direct contact with the infected soil or the faeces. Even if the humans come in contact with the contaminated soil, there are high chances of contracting this disease (Overgaauw and van Knapen 2013). This study is based on a case study, that emphasize on the problems that are arising due to a disease that has broken out in an area within the foxes, which is affecting the other foxes and cattle. This disease needs to effectively managed from spreading and infecting other animals. Case study A new has broken out in an area that are affecting the foxes. The foxes that get infected with this disease are dying within the two-week time period. If within this time period other foxes are coming in contact with these infected foxes, the other foxes in the area are also getting infected. The disease has posed a danger for the other farm animals, to whom the disease might spread. Thus, it is important to eliminate the disease. However, there is a vaccine that can effectively reduce the spread of the disease to the other foxes. This vaccine if mixed with the food and placed in the suitable places is found to be 100 percent effective in reducing the spread of the disease and even helps in protecting the foxes. There are also other ways of controlling the spread of the disease, either by shooting the foxes which s labour intensive process or by mixing poison in the food. Strategies Defining the geographical area- In order to reduce the occurrence of the toxocariasis disease within the foxes, the affected geographical area first needs to be clearly defined. Foxes always move in a groups of 4 and more. However, on rare occasions 10 foxes are found in a group. According to the studies, foxes rarely travel more than 10 km during the night in search of food. Thus, to clearly define the geographical area, a 12 km radius perimeter will be set up which will serve as a limiting area and at the same time will be used to monitor the activity of the foxes. This geographical area also encompasses the residential places and the forest areas (Dpipwe.tas.gov.au, 2018). Determining the fox population- controlling diseases in foxes and proper vaccination require the clear quantification of the number of the foxes that are present in the wild. The number of the foxes will help and assist in framing the vaccination process, as well as will give an overview of the total number of foxes that need to be dealt with. There are advanced techniques like the radio telemetry, which involves tagging a collar to the foxes. This will effectively determine the area of activity and home range detection (Dpipwe.tas.gov.au, 2018). Identification of zones- The second most important part is to identify the places or the zones where the activity of the foxes is seen the most. The most active places or the zones will act as places where food can be placed which will contain the vaccines. Agglomeration of fox foot prints in a specific place can be considered as the best way to designate places that experience the highest activity of the foxes. Vaccination process- it is important to note that, the disease toxocariasis in the foxes cannot be eradicated totally. Thus, it necessary to control, manage and prevent the spread an recurrence of the disease in foxes. Vaccination one of the best method to control the disease among the foxes that visit a single place in groups. Because, food mixed with vaccines can be easily taken up by the foxes and at the same time will help to reduce the spread of the disease (Mller et al. 2012). Shooting and poisoning- this is the last option which must be only used when a clear idea of the number of the foxes in the wild is achieved. Reducing the population of foxes in wild can effectively create an ecological imbalance. Although an effective strategy, but can hamper the food chain due to the reduction in the number of fox population. Shooting is a labour intensive process which will require a lot a patience and manpower, and human error are bound to occur in this process. Poisoning on the other hand is another alternative strategy, but it is not an explicit and effective procedure. The poisoning strategy will require careful implementation because there are high chances that other animal species might get poisoned. Both the strategies are the quickest and can address the issue if executed in a planned way (Huntsabs.org.uk, 2018). Assumptions When the strategies/plans will be executed, there are certain assumptions that needs to be considered for the plan to work effectively. The cost of employing the man power for the survey, shooting and poisoning will stand around 8 thousand American Dollars (Mller et al. 2015). The survey of the foxes also includes the cost of radio telemetry instruments. Especially for the strategy to control the population of the foxes, and the delivery of the vaccination via the mixed food. The foxes are assumed to be moving in packs/groups (Dempsey, Gese and Kluever 2014). The availability of the vaccine is assumed to be in sufficient quantity for the vaccination of the foxes. The distribution of the vaccines completely depends on its availability. Thus, if the quantity of the vaccines is assumed to be sufficient, then distribution will be done by the already planned manpower. When the project will be carried out, it will directly benefit the farmers, general public and even the pet-owners that li ve in the area where the activity of the foxes is evident. The support can be expected from the general public, pet-owners and farmers because the project will be beneficial for the entire population. Risks The risks associated with this plan and the strategy are the political risks and the technical risks. Political risks- the most important risk associated with the killing of foxes is the political risk. Shooting and hunting of foxes is considered to be barbaric and the animal activists do not support such an act. The animal rights activists work for the protection of the animals that are killed and slaughtered. The governments that stay in power and execute the task of hunting and killing people often face the heat from the common citizens, animal activists and the opposition parties. While, if the project in undertaken, it might have experience the backlash from the environmental activists. Foxes play a significant role in controlling the population of the rabbits, mice and the other small animals during the winter season. Foxes also control the population of insects, crabs, mollusks, reptiles and frogs. Thus, killing of the foxes can negatively impact the maintenance of the ecological balance. Thus, the environmental activists will raise this issue and will work to stop the project in the midway (Animal Rights Toronto, 2018). Technical risks- in this particular study, sampling and survey of the fox population requires tagging with the radio telemetry equipment. The equipment is heavy due to the presence of the antennas, batteries. This equipment is quite heavy for the smaller tagged animals and thus impede both the behaviour and mobility of the animals. Thus, the weight of the equipment will reduce the effectivity of the survey and the sampling process (Krause et al. 2013). The usage of the cameras during the night time to track the movement and behaviour of the fox may impede or hinder the natural behaviour of the foxes. There are also other technical risks associated with the logistics of distribution of the vaccines. The proper delivery and allocation and even effective mixing of the vaccines with the food substances may arise due to the human error. Such human errors will reduce the effectivity of the project, because killing or poisoning the foxes is the last option. Thus, to manage and reduce the di sease in foxes and as well as averting the political risk, the vaccination process needs to be accurate to both prevent and manage the disease in foxes (Mller et al. 2012). Conclusion Therefore, from the above discussion it can be concluded that, the toxocarias disease in foxes is common as found in the domestic dogs and cats. In the domestic set up, this disease can be controlled. Whereas, in the wild this disease spreads rampantly to the other animals through the faeces and dead carcass. In this study, a situation has aroused in which the foxes are contracting the disease called toxocarias and it is affecting the other foxes. This study has proposed or consulted certain strategies that will be used for the effective eradication of the disease through the effective usage of the vaccination, killing and poisoning.
