Cis 3365 Week 3

1.) A complex project that I have been on would be for my CIS 3365 class where I had to work with my team to create an application for a guitar store to better manage their payments.

6.) Some capacity considerations in a hospital are beds, rooms, and staff. The difference in capacity considerations between a hospital and a factory is that the hospital can add capacity quickly and factory is more limited. The hospital can increase the number of beds and staff.

7.) An example of a capacity cushion is can be a car company for example Dodge producing Dodge Vipers when there was no demand for that car anymore they had a large inventory just sitting at the dealerships. An example of a negative capacity cushion is Apple not producing enough iPhones for the high
