This discussion assignment is to be conducted within your small group, as with the Module 2 discussion assignment. (As before, to find your group, go to "People" on the menu on the left, then select the "Discussion Groups" tab). This discussion should include your response to the questions below and a response or "dialogue" with at least one of your peers. Please try to post your first post by Oct. 5th, Thursday, so your peers have an opportunity to reply to your post by the deadline of Oct. 8th. (I used Oct. 5 as the assignment deadline to get it started, but give you until Oct. 8 to have some discussion). Post your answer to the discussion board for the following question: Describe 2 different examples of how a change in one operational factor (from the 6 discussed in Module 5/Chapter 5) will affect one or more of the other factors. For example, would a faster order processing system affect any of the other 5 factors? Why/Why not? (Keep the discussion to these 6 operational factors and how they are or are not inter-related operationally). Does a more expensive transportation mode always increase overall expenses?
