- Description:
- This study’s main objective was to demonstrate a correlation between job satisfaction and the two main leadership styles, transformational, and transactional for Flowserve Corporation’s operation department in the seal division for North America. The study also took a deeper dive into the data to find the overall perception of leadership styles from an employee standpoint. The same observation was done with job satisfaction levels in North America. Additionally, demographics were also statistically analyzed against job satisfaction. The data collection was executed with a questionnaire using the simple random method. The questionnaire comprised of demographical questions, the Minnesota Satisfactory Questionnaire (MSQ), and the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) that was sent to the targeted population via email. The data was collected via Microsoft Form and statistically analyzed using Microsoft Excel. The study results illustrated a statistically positive relationship between job satisfaction and all attributes of transformational leadership. Furthermore, there was a negative correlation between job satisfaction and transactional leadership attributes except for contingent rewards and management by exception (active). The overall perception of leadership was transactional leadership, which correlated to overall low job satisfaction levels for the operations team. The study also found that specific demographics did not have a factor in job satisfaction.

- The purpose of this paper is to help implement some concepts studied during the Master of Science in Engineering Management program in context of a specific company and its supply chain. The idea to provide solutions to minimize costs, improve supply chain and implement efficient forecasting techniques. It will serve as a termination masters project and will go in conjunction of the final project presentation to provide insights on the below topics: • Understanding of the disruption of the production and supply chain due to an unforeseen extreme situation. • Analysis of the various costs involved in servicing the demand and how it impacts profitability • Building a Cost Minimization Matrix that will suggest optimal production plans. • When to Produce and How much to Produce. • Showcasing cost saving opportunities by adapting policies of continuous evaluation. • Providing Suggestions and Recommendations on Improving KPI’s. For this Project we will be looking into the analysis of Niagara Bottling’s most common SKU’s that have demand all year round. They also have seasonality and trends attached with their demand patterns. We will look at the Direct Cost of Manufacturing and Shipping of these SKU’s. The major factor of this project will be to analyze these costs and demand patterns changes in an extreme unforeseen situation of the pandemic of 2020 that disrupted supply chains all around the world and has a continuing effect on the overall business of manufacturing. This will help us derive a model that will suggest production plans by continuously monitoring forecast and unusual demand fluctuations so that we can better prepare to meet service levels and increase profitability.

- Description:
- California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) passed Senate Bill 1371 in 2014 with an overall goal to reduce methane emissions by 40% by 2030. Utilities are mandated to implement mandatory best practices and report on their annual emissions to avoid penalties. As a part of this initiative utilities are actively looking for opportunities to enhance their systems and implement new technologies in response to Senate Bill 1371. There are aerial-based technologies available for utilities to proactivity find methane plumes. The aerial-based technology presented in this report uses LiDAR technology mounted to a helicopter. It identifies leaks on systems sized 10 CFH or larger and detects emissions on customer-owned facilities from houseline leaks and incomplete combustion from gas-fired equipment. However, this method does not replace the traditional walking survey as it does not detect small leaks. This report intends to help utilities operationalize this type of technology efficiently. There are three main problems identified. One is the scheduling part of these flight operations in a way that don’t overload the operational groups. The second is how the plans are effectively communicated with these operational groups. Third, how leadership can be more effective and efficient in this implementation. Lastly, how much does this technology cost and how can it be reduced. To solve problem one, a linear programming model is introduced to best sequence flight areas and schedule resources. The model minimizes the number of days flown consecutively for all districts, allowing time between flight operations in any district. This way, the impacted districts can handle and complete work orders before receiving the next batch of data. Following this methodology will allow utilities to reduce their costs. The second problem is addressed by implementing project management tools and techniques to develop a communication strategy for external and internal communications. Followed by recommendations for leadership and a cost analysis.

- Description:
- Advances in healthcare and medical science have led to increased longevity of world populations. As the world population continues to age, healthcare systems struggle to keep up with the needs of an aging population with increasingly complex medical needs. Sharp Transitions is a community-based palliative care program consisting of registered nurses and medical social workers who visit patients with pre-terminal illness in their homes. The program aims to reduce unnecessary hospitalizations and emergency room visits for predictable exacerbations of chronic disease while also promoting quality of life for patients living with pre-terminal disease. There is currently no universally established delivery of care model for community-based palliative care services. This grant proposal intends to study the impact of adding a nurse practitioner to the existing framework of the Sharp Transitions program. The dependent variables in this proposal are the number of emergency room visits, hospital admissions, 30-day re-admissions, cost analysis, and patient or caregiver satisfaction scores measured by the Palliative Outcome Scale. This proposal is significant to nursing science as the data obtained can contribute to developing a delivery of care model for community-based palliative care services.

- Description:
- After the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agencies in California in 2012, cities were forced to find alternative funding streams to fund essential economic activity. As such, Business Improvement Districts or BIDs for short, have proven to become an economic development tool used by local governments to supplement services previously funded by the Redevelopment Agencies. This project examines historic Front Street in Norwalk, California as an area that can benefit from implementing a BID. It identifies five determinants that contribute to the effectiveness of BIDs. They are public safety, cleanliness, marketing and promotion and event programming. This project studied two case studies by conducting audits, making observations and implementing the Gehl Institute’s Public Life Tools. Ultimately findings showed that implementing a BID in the City of Norwalk could prove to be a helpful tool to fund essential economic activity, however, specifically for the City of Norwalk, before it can implement a BID, thought must be given to how it will bring investment to the area. Although brief recommendations were provided, such is beyond the area of study of this research and requires a deeper analysis. Thereafter, once Front Street boasts investment, implementing a BID will be much more effective in continuing the revitalization efforts in its downtown area.

- This project reviewed the effectiveness of marketing on enrollment rates in the CPP Payment Plan offered by the Office of Student Accounting & Cashiering. Marketing is used as a tool to inform students a payment plan is an available and affordable option when paying tuition. A survey was sent to active Cal Poly Pomona students to gather data related to demographics, as well as student’s knowledge of the payment plan. This study found that 96% of participants had heard about the payment plan offered, but 78% of those participants have not previously participated in the plan. A discussion of literature found that low-income minority students have a greater need for financial assistance when it comes to affording college. This study further analyzed low-income students, low-income students who are parents, and low-income Hispanic/ Latino students to determine what percentage were participating in the plan. Survey data found that 4% of low-income students who are parents, 11% of low-income students, and 34% of low-income Hispanic/Latino students have previously participated in the plan. While marketing techniques such as email may be an effective form of notifying students, it does not necessarily impact the enrollment rates.

- Description:
- The City of Covina is a city within the County of Los Angeles which faces an unusual issue of having pockets within the City which are under the jurisdiction of the County due to the expansion of City boundaries around areas which chose to remain under County jurisdiction. In August of 2019, an item was brought forth to the City Council which considered the annexation of the islands. This report examines the feasibility of the annexation by breaking down the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats through a SWOT analysis. The recommendation reached after the research is for the City Council, should they wish to proceed with the annexations, do so in a phased approach beginning with the six islands within the City’s boundaries which do not overlap with outer City borders.

- Description:
- In the field of web application development, there are three main parts in code implementation: backend architecture, frontend implementation, CI/CI pipeline. Since backend architecture is extremely important, therefore it is crucial to design a maintainable and extensible backend architecture for further development. The paper is to demonstrate building a solid backend architecture for an online library website. The complete implementation of the architecture is split into four sections: microservices designing, database architecture, backend architecture, and REST API designing. In the introduction, the problems of traditional software development methodology are pointed out. The concepts of microservice and Docker are then introduced in Section 1. Section 2 demonstrates how to design the database architecture by illustrating ER diagrams and database controller packages. Section 3 demonstrates the specific steps of implementing backend logic for microservices using Python. REST APIs, the bridge connecting backend services and frontend clients, are introduced in Section 4. The verification of REST APIs using unit testing and postman is also introduced at the end of the paper. Each section explains related concepts and demonstrates specific steps of the implementation. The complete picture of the architecture is clear to illustrate the maintainability and extensibility of the system.

- Music is one of the human hobbies and artistic pursuits. We have conducted extensive and in-depth research on music long ago and put forward many music theories. In the history of music, composers have never stopped summarizing composition techniques. With the development of computer technology and artificial intelligence, people have the idea of letting computers create music by themselves. Many kinds of neural network models can be used to generate music. For the most common fully connected neural network, the operation is complicated, the calculation speed is slow, and there is no special solution to the continuous problem. For example, the CNN convolutional neural network, although in many ways a fully connected neural network, But is also a model structure that cannot optimize and replace the problem of continuous sequence. This article will explain how to use the machine learning frameworks Tensorflow and Keras to build an LSTM neural network model to automatically synthesize a piece of music by learning music data.
