Introduction The Everest group simulation was an online simulation which encouraged five students to play a unique and vital role on a team of hikers. The main goal is to reach the summit of Mount Everest. The simulation stimulates practical application of concepts and theories managerial decisions‚ especially in the form of groups. The purpose of this report is to reflect on the experiences encountered in the team during the simulation and identify relation of our experience and management

project is to apply simulation in optimizing the cycle time and logistics of various activities involved in construction of a breakwater. The main benefit of this simulation analysis is a detailed look at the techniques for improving breakwater construction The scope of this project is limited to breakwater construction sites. The project scope includes modeling‚ simulation and optimization of construction methods used in breakwater Methodology In this project suitable simulation techniques are used

I volunteered to be an observer for the Everest Simulation‚ and I learned a lot by observing participants interact with one another. As I walked around each group‚ I quickly realized that I wasn’t going to learn as much about the simulation by observing each group; I had to focus on one team and observe their work. As a result‚ I watched one team and learned many important management skills‚ such as leadership‚ planning and controlling‚ setting team and individual goals‚ and communication. The

I think that there are a few important lessons that can be learned from the Everest simulation. The first is that it is important for all group members to be able to speak up‚ no matter what their rank is‚ and the second is the importance of good leadership. Our group did not communicate as much as we could have‚ and we did not express our personal goals to each other. Being the photographer‚ my goal was to stay at camp 1 and 2 for two nights each. However‚ my team wanted to push on‚ so instead

Figure. 1 illustrates the device architecture of the simulated tapered FinFET and cross-section of the device. The 5nm node technology was used in this simulation. This is equal to effective gate length approximately equal to 10 nm [10]. In this simulation‚ the physical gate length (LG) of 9 nm are adopted. SiO2 and Si3N4 are considered as the gate oxide and spacer material‚ respectively. Fixed spacer length (LSP) of 7 nm was used. The doping concentrations are the source (1020 cm-3)‚ the drain (1020
