Choose ONE of the following two questions (i.e. either A or B).   A. Two of the five steps of the process of ongoing improvement are EXPLOIT and ELEVATE. Explain what each of these two steps involves.  As part of your explanation, you should explain what the difference is between the two steps.  Finally, give an example of how each of these two steps was accomplished on the hiking example in THE GOAL, i.e. one example for EXPLOIT and one example for ELEVATE. OR B. Explain what each of the follow represents as each relates to an operations process, and what is the purpose of each for an operations process: DRUM, BUFFER, and ROPE.   Finally, give an example of how we might implement each of the three to manage the operations of the smiley face exercise completed in a recent class assignment – what might be classified as the drum, buffer, and rope? Be specific, giving specific guidelines for how each is identified or implemented.

The following 3 questions are about the titration of histamine (C5H9N3) with HI. Histamine is a weak base with pKa = 6.72 (pKa is NOT a typo).  The questions ask for pH! Do them in order. 

Mantler and colleagues (2005) found that people who believe their job is in jeopardy even if it is not in jeopardy, showed levels of stress similar to unemployed participants. 

The Ka for iodoacetic acid (IH2C2O2H) is 6.6*10-4. What is the pH at the half equivalence point of any titration of iodoacetic acid acid with any strong base? Do not type units. Do not use scientific notation.

Question 3 of 3 questions about the titration of 10.00 mL of 0.1600 M histamine (C5H9N3, a weak base with pKa = 6.72; pKa is NOT a typo) with 0.2000 M HI. Continuing the titration: an additional 2.00 mL HI solution is added (total addition of HI is 10.00 mL). What is the pH after this addition? Do not type units. Do not use units.
