Although Knoxville has many dangerous spots transportation wise, I have chosen an intersection in Alcoa in which I have much more knowledge of to discuss. This particular intersection is the US 129 bypass at Louisville Road. I mention that I have previous knowledge of this intersection because I am in fact an employee of this city, and have therefore compiled crash data as well as traffic counts for such. Not only is this intersection dangerous because of high speeds, but there is also a lack
Ryan Horner May 16, 2017 Case Study: Case Study: Alcoa’s Core Values in Practice Alcoa has been in operation for almost 131 years. It specializes in bauxite, alumina and aluminum products. Alcoa has been around as long and as successfully as it has been in large part because of their core values. The Alcoa website states, “Act with integrity. Operate with excellence. Care for people.” (Alcoa 2017) Alcoa has prided itself in making sure they do what they say. “Every Alcoan, worldwide, is required
Alcoa Alcoa produces and sells bauxite, alumina and aluminium. Alcoa was formed by Charles Martin Hall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US in 1888 and is now run by Roy Harvey. Alcoa has ongoing operations in many countries around the world. In Western Australia it Alcoa operates two mine sites, Huntly and Willowdale and three alumina refineries, Wagerup, Kwinana and Pinjarra. Together the Alcoa owned Western Australian refines produce 14.2 percent of the worlds alumina. This report is on the Wagerup
My summary starts with a bit of Alcoa history. Aluminum Company of America, (Alcoa) was established in 1888 as the Pittsburgh Reduction Company. ALCOA is the leading producer of aluminum. During the mid-80’s the President at the time Fred Fetterolf determined that the organization should achieve values in which they serve. The values that were selected and posted are integrity, environment, health, and safety. Alcoa was based on great values; this suggested that their workers had to learn and follow
History has shown that Alcoa, as a company, has had a strong commitment to safety. In fact, when Paul O’Neil became the CEO of Alcoa in 1987, Alcoa had the best safety record in the aluminum industry. However, O’Neill believed that the company could do more. He announced that safety was his top priority, and his goal was to strive toward “0” injuries, fatalities, and illnesses within the work place. He believed that safety required comprehensive understanding of manufacturing processes and that understanding
Throughout the last two years here at Pellissippi State Community College, I have had multiple opportunities to discover who I am as a person and what morals/values that I believe in. Furthermore, I have gained the opportunity to job shadow a teacher at Alcoa Elementary school for a total of 65 hours this semester. With that being said, I fully feel like the service was an eye opening experience. Not only did I get to shadow for personal benefit but I got to help a teacher feel less stressed at the beginning

dollars. The Appalachian Trail runs along the top of the dam. The Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) was the first company to suggest a dam to be built in the Fontana area. They had built previous dams including the Cheoah and Calderwood dams. Alcoa planned the dam to be 200 feet tall, but it didn’t turn out that way. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) negotiated with Alcoa to be in charge of the dam. Since Alcoa was an aluminum company instead of an electrical
Few object to the therapeutic use of fluoride to stop tooth decay, but fluoridation, the addition of fluoride to the public water supply, can spark avid controversy. Most dentists, medical groups, and government officials argue that fluoridation is a cheap and risk-free venture that doubles cavity prevention. In contrast, a small minority of dentists and conservative political groups argue that fluoride is a hazardous, poisonous substance that should not be consumed. Some antifluoridationists

Nike Inc. (Nike) is another example of an organisation that failed to successfully implement a new ERP system due to the lack of importance placed on critical success factors. Nike is the largest manufacturer of athletic shoes, apparel and other sports equipment in the world. Nike employs more than 44,000 people worldwide and in 2012 alone their revenue topped 24 billion US dollars (Jeng & Dunk, 2013). A company the size of Nike would obviously see serious financial implications if an ERP system
Physically and chemically Aluminium is a metal much like others such as; steel, copper and titanium. I can occur as a solid, a liquid or a gas and the state at which aluminium occurs depends on its condition, temperature and pressure. Aluminium is a very light weight metal at 2.7 grams per 〖cm〗^3, which is approximately one third the weight of steel. (HIGGINS, 1972) It naturally forms a protective oxide coating which protects it from corrosion; this oxide coating is thin but very dense and can be
Boeing has a very complex supply chain consisting of several international and domestic suppliers with a wide range of financial arrangements from direct ownership to contract arrangements. Due to the specialized nature of the final product, every part has to meet a specified standard of quality. Although it is possible that some supplies may be purchased on the open market, I was unable to find any that are. A fully assembled 737 has 367,000 parts, an equal number of bolts, rivets and other fasteners
On September 10th, a friend from high school and I attended a church service at Sevier Heights Baptist Church, which is about a ten-minute drive south from campus along Alcoa highway. She and I had been active church participants back home in Nashville, and we were looking to find a church that we both felt comfortable attending while we are at college. Leading up to that Sunday, She and I had been communicating back and forth trying to schedule a time when we could get together and visit because
On September 6th, 1971, President Richard Nixon gave the “Address to the Nation on Labor Day.” In this speech, he determined that there is a change in the work environment air. Nixon claims that workers in this developmental time deserve new opportunities to grow within their work. He reached the conclusion that job satisfaction should be a company's main focus. As the work environment evolves, worker satisfaction becomes increasingly more important. Employees now have expectations, such as raises
Many small businesses endure the same inevitable outcome upon the opening of a corporate business. A 44-year-old, rural grocery store in North Carolina faced a “30% sales drop” immediately after the opening of Walmart (Wolff-Mann “Walmart Closes”). To counteract the drastic drop in sales, the mom-and-pop ran grocery store lowered their prices in hopes to attract more customers. In return, Wal-mart matched and undercut their prices in order to reduce surrounding competition. Failing to compete with
