Warehouse workers are critical to the success of any business and supply chain. It is important to understand different factors that can influence an employee's performance and satisfaction at work. In order to determine some best practices, 173 students at Arizona State University participated in an online warehousing simulation in a controlled laboratory setting. Participants were subject to different combinations of time pressure and put-away errors (i.e. when items that need to be picked by a warehouse worker are not located where they are supposed to be). A preliminary analysis shows that the largest impact is that of time pressure on worker productivity. As time pressure increases, the time required to complete a task decreases. The trade-offs of using time pressure as a management option are discussed.

This report discusses the trade-offs of electric vehicles at both the macro-level and the consumer-level. The idea of this project is to address the factors that will affect many people, which are the macro-level trade-offs. Consumer-level trade-offs will address the concerns that individual consumers have when buying a car. The macro-level trade-offs that are discussed include batteries versus engines, increased weight, and strain on the power grid. Consumer-level trade-offs include price, maintenance, cost of ownership, and safety. Electric cars are the future, and although the report points out a lot of potential issues, it is not meant to detract from the adoption of electric vehicles. There are so many possibilities regarding the future of the car industry and there is a lot to look forward to despite the current and future issues that will be encountered.
