Please briefly explain the issue of double marginalization in supply chain (in your own words) and provide an example

Consider the hospital example above. What will be the resulting change in the reorder point with the decrease in service level?

One warehouse supplies 50 dealers with parts used by the dealers to repair their customers’ heavy equipment. Dealers currently place orders about once a week, because the ordering process is somewhat cumbersome – it is a paper process that must be filled out manually and faxed to the warehouse. The firm will implement a new system that will allow dealers to submit orders electronically. Because this process should be less cumbersome, it is expected that the dealers will submit orders more frequently, maybe some of them even daily. The new system is not expected to change customer demands for parts (i.e., the dealers’ demand processes will be unaffected). What change is this likely to have on the characteristics of the warehouse’s total daily demand (i.e., the total of the dealers’ orders on any given day)?

Weekly demand for bottles of blood type O- at a hospital is distributed with mean 5 and standard deviation 2. The lead time to obtain bottles of this rare blood type is 3 weeks. The hospital, which employs a continuous review system, is weighing whether to decrease the service level for blood type O-, from 99.7% to 97.5%. What will be the direction of change in the optimal order quantity with the decrease in service level?

When quoting long sections of material (e.g., of more than 40 words):          

A patient is receiving PRBCs. Ten minutes into the transfusion the patient reports, “I feel cold,” begins shivering, complains of back pain, and becomes short of breath.

Which nursing action is appropriate during the first 15 minutes of a blood transfusion?

The nurse is preparing to administer blood. Which action requires intervention?

Which of the following behaviors presents the highest risk of contracting hepatitis C?

A student uses Scene Builder to design a JavaFX user interface (view). The student drags a Button into a BorderPane and sets its text to “Submit”. The student does not modify any other properties of the button. In the controller class, the student writes: @FXMLprivate void handleSumbit(ActionEvent event) {    System.out.println(“Submitted!”);} When the application runs, clicking the button does nothing. What is the most likely reason?
