Organizational ethics begins at the top, and the leadership and example of strong managers can help instill corporate values in employees. More and more companies have adopted written codes of ethics. Trust and cooperation between workers and managers must be based on fairness, honesty, openness, and moral integrity. The same applies to relationships among businesses and between nations. Compliance-based ethics codes emphasize preventing unlawful behavior by increasing control and penalizing wrongdoers. Integrity-based ethics codes define the organization's guiding values, create an environment that supports ethically sound behavior, and stress shared accountability.

Match the features to the correct type of Ethics Code.

a. Education, reduced employee discretion
b. Enable responsible employee conduct
c. Lawyers
d. Conform to outside standards
e. Accountability, decision processes, control
f. Conform to outside standards and chosen internal standards
g. Avoid criminal misconduct
h. Managers

You are a supplier of printed circuit boards (PCBs). Production of the circuit boards consists of several steps – Surface Mounting, Baking, and Final Assembly. Surface Mounting puts integrated circuits (ICs) and other components on a PCB. These PCBs are then Baked as a batch and kept in an oven for some time so that the ICs are soldered onto the PCBs. Finally, these PCBs are taken and manually assembled into a case, and wired with connectors. The processing rate at the Surface Mounting station is 15 PCBs/minute, the processing rate for Baking is 5 PCBs/minute, and the processing rate for Final Assembly is 3 PCBs/minute. If there are on average 24 units of (work in process) inventory and the system is working at capacity, what is the flow (throughput) time for PCBs?
