One of the tasks you face as a manager, especially if your organization makes frequent business transactions, is that of preparing a budget. A budget is a tool used for planning and controlling your financial resources. It is a guideline for your future plan of action, expressed in financial terms within a set period of time. A budget does not have to be complex. However, it should support the strategic plan for the organization. We will need resources to achieve our goals and objectives.
For this assignment, you will focus on the operating budget. An operating budget shows the company’s projected revenue and associated expenses for an upcoming period—usually the next year. An operating budget starts with revenue, and then shows each expense type. This includes variable costs, or the costs that vary with sales, such as the cost of raw materials and production labor. The operating budget includes fixed costs, such as the monthly rent on office space or the monthly payment for a photocopier lease. The budget also includes operating expenses, such as interest on business loans, and the non-cash expense of depreciation. These items enable the company to compute its projected net income and net profit percentage.
Imagine you are the healthcare administrator for an actual non-profit clinic, home health agency, or outpatient surgery center. Your first task is to locate either the strategic plan for that organization or determine its strategic direction through the vision statement, mission/purpose statement, and strategic priorities/goals. You will also need to locate the audited financial statements for the organization.
Using the information from your research, develop a one-year operating budget for the chosen entity, which will include operating revenues and expenses. Include a 1–2 page document to justify the approach you use in constructing the operating budget with the strategic plan or strategic direction.

Introduction
The Job Analysis is a structured method in which knowledge regarding roles and duties needed for the performance of a specific job is gathered. The job analysis mainly involves the task and not the workers, but the information is obtained from the users about the work (Robinson-Morral et al., 2018).
Discussion
The primary step in the job analysis process is to identify the intent of the job analysis. The aim may be either to update the job description, to amend the compensation system, to modify the structure of the company, or to update the work of a particular department (Wyse & Babcock, 2018). After the target has been selected, the top management should be well informed, as changes can only be made to the organization with the support of the management. The category of workers to be evaluated would be chosen, be clerical roles, handle employees, different division duties, etc., after setting a goal (Robinson-Morral et al., 2018). The participants involved in the study are also listed, and the approaches to be used. The current job description is reviewed in its entirety in order for a fair understanding of the duties, responsibilities, organizational chart, working conditions, dangers, etc. in certain jobs to exist (Wyse & Babcock, 2018).
The next action in the job analysis process is to carry out the job analysis or to start it. In this case, enough time should be allocated for the employees to collect the job details. The employee’s knowledge may be gathered through a sample, questionnaire, or assessment methods (Robinson-Morral et al., 2018). If the information is gathered, it must be organized according to the purpose, section, and branch. After this phase, a draft job detail and specifications are prepared by the job analyst. The changes that will be made to the jobs will be defined and written into paper after processing of the material. When the draft is written, the executives, subordinates, and staff will be notified. Regulation of job requirements and expectations is the final phase in the job analysis process, in which job descriptions are reviewed and updated in due time in accordance with the changing needs of the client (Wyse & Babcock, 2018).
Conclusion
The job analysis leads to job specifications and job description. The job description involves duties, obligations, working hours, etc. and the job specification relates to the expertise, experience, history, credentials, and communication abilities required for a particular job.

Topic 10 Assignment: Research Paper
For this assignment, submit the research paper you have been working on over the past few weeks.
This paper should be over the topic of your choice in the area of health care cost-cutting and cost-effectiveness of providing care. This broad “umbrella topic” provides you with a lot of topics such as diagnosis-related groups (DRGs), HMOs, PPOs, movement to ambulatory care, managed care, generic drug use, etc…
Here are examples of the top topics that students have chosen in the past
1. Medicare, Medicaid, and their cost-effectiveness and cost savings.
2. PPO vs. HMO’s and their cost-effectiveness and cost savings.
3. Generic drugs vs. name-brand drugs and their cost-effectiveness and cost savings.
4. Compare different long term services and their cost-effectiveness and cost savings (just like you discussed in week 7).
5. Any other topic you would like….just get it approved by me this week in your paper prep submission.
The paper is due the last day of class. This paper must:
be at least 3 pages (double-spaced) not including cover page or references
include at least 3 references
Do not plagiarize; this error is best avoided by properly paraphrasing authors’ works and giving credit to the author.
There are five basic transportation modes: rail, inland water ways, ocean, over-the-road, and air. We will not be concerned about air transport in this SLP as it is the least used and most expensive in general supply chain transportation.
Review and read these resources on these three transportation modes: rail, inland water, and OTR. Ocean is not included in these readings since it is mainly used for importing and exporting. This will be covered in more detail in LOG502. But you are asked to identify where ocean transport is used, but not in detail.
RESOURCES – SEE SLP 3 RESOURCES IN BACKGROUND PAGE
Review the EESC from SLP2. Identify in the EESC where each of the four modes of transportation are used: rail, inland water, ocean, and OTR. You can use topic headings for each mode. Identify the materials being transported from which industry to which industry. Discuss why this mode is being used and what the costs are on a per ton-mile basis.
The paper should include:
NOTE: You can use the transportation resources. You should also do independent research and find at least two additional appropriate references, for a total of at least six.
