To be competitive in the global economy, manufacturing and service companies are examining ways to improve existing processes to become more efficient and reduce costs. PLC controlled equipment enables an organizaiton to precisely fine-tune their operations by fully automating manufacturing processes that are currently performed manually. Automated \"Lights Out\" facilities require less lighting and heating to operate than do traditional human controlled equipment, thereby reducing energy costs and material waste. PLC conrollers are used in energy mangement and monitoring systems(SCADA) to reduce electrical consumption and to network stand-along industrial controls. Students will be introduced to basic system concepts of operation, industry terminology, dominant manufacturer brands and general product practical applications and uses.

It is the process of distributing and entrusting work to another person.[1] Delegation is one of the core concepts of management leadership. The process involves managers deciding which work they should do themselves and which work should be delegated to others for completion.[1] From a managerial standpoint, delegation involves shifting project responsibility to team members, giving them the opportunity to finalize the work product effectively, with minimal intervention.[2] The opposite of effective delegation is micromanagement, where a manager provides too much input, direction, and review of delegated work. Delegation empowers a subordinate to make decisions. It is a shifting of decision-making authority as well as responsibility for the results from one organisational level to another lower one.[2] However, a certain level of accountability for the outcome of the work does remain with the person who delegated the work to begin with. There are a number of reasons someone may decide to delegate. These include: To free themselves up to do other tasks To have the most qualified person making the decisions To seek another qualified person's perspective on an issue To develop someone else's ability to handle the additional assignments judiciously and successfully[3] Delegation is widely accepted as an essential element of effective management.[4] It is one of the most useful management tools available. The ability to delegate is a critical, yet difficult to develop, skill in managing effectively.[5] There are a number of factors which facilitate effective delegation by managers. These include: \"Recognising and respecting others' capabilities; evaluating tasks and communicating how they fit in the big picture; matching people and assignments; providing support and encouragement; tolerating ambiguity and uncertainty; interpreting failure as a key to learning.\"[5] With organisations being such complex and dynamic entities, the success of objectives rely heavily on how effectively tasks and responsibilities can be delegated.[6] There are a number of characteristics which apply to delegation. Firstly, as previously discussed it is the process of assigning authority of a task to a supporting employee. This also shifts the decision-making authority relating to this task. The delegation of tasks across organisational levels creates connections and develops a chain of authority.[7]", "prerequisites": [], "program_ids": [], "source_url": "https://catalog.mccc.edu/courses/NCEXSMI074", "canonical_url": "/mercer/courses/ncexsmi074", "markdown_url": "/mercer/courses/ncexsmi074.md" }, { "id": "mercer-001905", "code": "NCEXSMI075", "title": "Performance Appraisal Bs8", "credits": 0.8, "hours": 0.8, "description": "Learn how to make the performance review a unique opportunity for supervisors to act as facilitators and trainers for their employees' personal and professional growth.

Textural Greenery: A variety of foliage-such as trailing ivy, seeded eucalyptus, or ferns-adds dimension and a natural feel, often cascading over the edge of the compote for a soft, effortless look. Support Mechanics: Since compotes have a wide, shallow bowl, florists often use a floral frog, chicken wire, or a floral foam-free armature to provide structure and support for the stems. Seasonal & Color Harmony: Compote designs often reflect seasonal blooms and color palettes, making them versatile for weddings, events, or home décor.

This method of communication is considered a language like any other such as Spanish or English, therefore, it is not universal.

This course also teaches the student to consider the rules that must be followed and to differentiate between an informal or formal conversation.

These public places, in addition to government agencies, include restaurants, hotels, theaters, doctors' offices, pharmacies, stores, museums, libraries, parks, private schools, and day care centers, among others. In order to facilitate equal access, a public place or establishment must provide auxiliary aids and services for deaf people when necessary. Examples of auxiliary aids and services include interpreters for the deaf through American Sign Language (ASL). Therefore this course is aimed at the entire community interested in developing ASL.

The first module is a traditional lecture. It provides: 1. a brief overview of the history of the disability laws applicable to New Jersey employers; 2. identifies who is considered disabled under these laws; 3. reviews the laws' basic requirements and provisions; 4. provides and discusses flow charts explaining an employer's obligation to engage in an interactive process with disabled employees to identify reasonable accommodations; 5. provides information about various resources available to assist in developing reasonable accommodation issues; and 6. Identifies various other employment issues that attach in the disability context such a drug testing, privacy interests, etc. The primary goal of this module is to provide basic information about disability issues facing New Jersey employers. The second module consists of hypotheticals and a quiz. Each of the hypotheticals presents a common disability-related employment issue, and walks the attendees through the applicable principles necessary to resolve the issue. The quiz essentially tests and reaffirms that the attendees have retained key information presented in the first module, and the review of the answers also serves as another opportunity to reaffirm the core principles from module 1. The last module is a jeopardy-type board game that asks the attendees to answer questions related to the information taught in module 1 to compete for nominal prizes. It tests the retention of key information, provides another opportunity for the attendees to apply that information, and again reaffirms the core principles from module 1 in dialogue about the various answers. This module is an enjoyable and competitive way to engage the attendees in spirited dialog while further reviewing and reinforcing the material presented in module 1. .", "prerequisites": [], "program_ids": [], "source_url": "https://catalog.mccc.edu/courses/NCLEGMI001", "canonical_url": "/mercer/courses/nclegmi001", "markdown_url": "/mercer/courses/nclegmi001.md" }, { "id": "mercer-002234", "code": "NCLEGMI010", "title": "Title IX Bs3", "credits": 0.3, "hours": 0.3, "description": "Title IX is a prohibition against sex-based discrimination in education.
