Conduct a SWOT Analysis on the following case. Doug Brown started college on sports scholarships at the University of Denver, but moved home to St. Louis and took jobs to pay his way through Saint Louis University. One of those jobs was selling new and used cars, and Doug networked that opportunity to connect with a new start-up in the leasing business, Executive Leasing. Doug became their 13th employee, preparing cars for leasees. He got a promotion and came on full time, changing to night school in order to graduate.

Executive Leasing became Enterprise Leasing and Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and as the company's fortunes grew, so did Doug's. As an executive, Doug pioneered Enterprise's hiring new college graduates around 13,000 a year nationally these days) because he recognized the value of newly graduated learning machines" with virtually no "bad" business habits to break as the way to staff a rapidly growing company. That decision made Enterprise's phenomenal growth possible.

After 30 years at Enterprise, Doug took early retirement. Not one to sit around, he started consulting to firms and donating his consulting fees to charities) and becoming an entrepreneur and investor in real estate projects and a multistate chain of car washes.

Thirteen years into retirement, Doug partnered with Saint Louis University and the University of Missouri-St. Louis to create a retail incubator to help anchor and develop The Ville Neighborhood, a once vibrant area fallen on hard times. Called the Habitat for Neighborhood Business, the incubator provides subsidized space and business help, such as mentoring, networking, and education by volunteer business professionals and students, to house and grow businesses that can help the community be more self-sufficient. A social venture, Habitat raises funds through for-profit and charitable activities to keep going. And while Doug's friends don't know what will happen next, they are sure Doug has some sort of entrepreneurial venture in mind.

Imagine us is a startup that offers high definition 3d prenatal ultrasounds for high-end customers. the service process includes four activities that are conducted in the sequence described below. (the time required for each activity is shown in parentheses): activity 1: welcome a patient and explain the procedure. (20 minutes)activity 2: prep the patient (e. g., show them to the room, apply ultrasound gel). (17 minutes) (*your id number represents the amount of time needed to complete this task)activity 3: take images. (5 minutes)activity 4: discuss diagnostic with patient. (20 minutes)at each location there are employees (servers) s1, s2, and s3. the assignment of tasks to servers is the following: s1 does activities 1 and 2.s2 does activity 3.s3 does activity 4.a. what is the capacity of this process (in customers per hour)? b. suppose 3 patients arrive every hour on average. ignoring any “start of day” or “end of day” effects, what are the utilizations of all three servers (%)? c. suppose each activity can be done by any server and any server can do any set of activities. however, each activity is done by only one server. for example, a possible assignment includes: s1 does activity 1, s2 does activity 2, and s3 does activities 3 and 4. of course, the original assignment of servers to activities is also feasible. what is the maximum capacity of the process (in customers per hour)? d. now consider the capacity measures in (c) and (a), what is the percentage change? why can you improve capacity without using additional resources? (there is no free lunch, right? )note: for all hw assignments, show your process of getting the results. only providing the final answers is not acceptable and will get 0%. if necessary, use a separate sheet of paper to show your work.
