Develop a 7-page process improvement plan for a provided scenario or a business and process of your choice, using data to support your recommendations.

Introduction

This portfolio work project, a process improvement plan, will help you demonstrate competencies in process documentation, process analysis, and process improvement. 

Scenario

For this assessment, choose either Option 1 or Option 2. You do not need to do both. You will apply one of these scenarios in the Requirements below. Both options will be graded using the same scoring guide.

Option 1

Wild Dog Coffee Company, a locally owned company with a single coffee shop location, serves a wide selection of espresso products, small breakfast and lunch menu items, and a limited evening menu. The company is planning to expand the business by adding an additional location. While different menu items may be tested at the new location, the espresso beverage preparation process will remain exactly the same. The company wants to ensure that the espresso beverage preparation process is documented and refined before the move. 

Option 2

Select a business and process of your choosing. Note: It is recommended that you use the same business for each assessment in this course. Before choosing a company, read all three of the assessments thoroughly to ensure the following:

  • The company fits the assessment requirements and you have access to the information needed to complete the assessment.
  • The business information is disclosed in the assessment for faculty’s reference.
  • You can distribute the business data without disclosing confidential information.

Contact faculty with questions. 

Your Role

Option 1 

You are one of three owners of Wild Dog Coffee Company. Your background is primarily in operations. Your business partners’ backgrounds are in marketing and sales. While they are working on the external aspects of the business that will bring customers in, you are focused on making the internal customer-facing processes as efficient as possible. You are preparing an analysis and recommendations that will help manage a core process improvement for the successful opening of a second location. 

Option 2

Your boss, a director, has tasked you with a process improvement project. She is relying on you to prepare an analysis and recommendations that can be presented to the executive team of the company. 

Requirements

Include the following in your process improvement plan:

  • Assess the steps for a selected process.
    • Develop a flowchart showing the process’ steps. You may include as many steps as are relevant for your selected scenario.
    • If using Wild Dog Coffee Company, show the steps for preparing an espresso beverage (for example, latté, cappuccino); there are two steps that must be included: (1) order is submitted and (2) beverage is handed to the customer. Hint: You may want to visit a local coffee shop to observe the beverage preparation process.
  • Prepare a procedure documenting the selected process. At a minimum, the procedure must document the following for your selected process:
    • Metrics. Identify at least two metrics that will be useful in determining how well the new process is performing. Be sure to identify the target value of the metric and how you will measure it. 
      • For Wild Dog Coffee Company, it could be how well the beverage preparation process is performing. A third metric is already identified for you: order delivery time. (This is the time between when the order is submitted and the time the beverage is handed to the customer.)
    • Procedure. This section describes each step of the process.
      • For Wild Dog Coffee Company, your procedure should be titled, “Espresso Beverage Preparation Process.” Be sure to include order submittal and handing the beverage to the customer as part of the procedure.
    • Purpose (of the procedure). This section describes what the procedure is intended to do.
  • Analyze data for process changes for a selected process. Respond to the following questions:
    • Is the process centered? Provide the results of your calculations and the rationale for your decision by thinking about the process capability.
    • Is the process capable at 3-sigma? Provide the results of your calculations and the rationale for your decision by thinking about the process capability index.
    • Is the process in statistical control? Provide the appropriate numbers and the rationale for your decision using a control chart for individuals.
    • For Wild Dog Coffee Company, analyze the Beverage Service Times [XLSX] data. This data is for 50 beverage preparation events and was collected using their order processing system. Each individual order gets a time-stamp when it is placed and again when the beverage is handed to the customer. The senior barista thinks the beverage delivery times should range between 2 and 3 minutes. The known process standard deviation, which has been calculated on an on-going basis, is 0.5903 minutes.
  • Analyze the cause and effect of process variances.
    • Brainstorm possible sources of variation to create a cause-and-effect diagram to help analyze potential sources of variation in the espresso beverage preparation process at Wild Dog Coffee Company or for your selected business’ process. Your diagram must include at least four of the “6 Ms” (that is, management, manpower, method, measurement, machine, materials).
  • Recommend quality and customer service improvements for a selected process.
    • Detail the results of your analysis for Wild Dog Coffee Company or your selected business’ process to substantiate your recommendations.

Deliverable Format

Requirements:
  • The process improvement plan is to be a minimum of 7 pages, not including the title, reference, and appendix pages.
  • Use a process improvement plan template of your choice.
Related company standards:
  • The process improvement plan is a professional document and should therefore follow the corresponding MBA Academic and Professional Document Guidelines (available in the MBA Program Resources), including single-spaced paragraphs.
  • In addition to the title and reference pages, include the following in the appendix:
    • Flowchart.
    • Procedure.
    • Detailed results of order delivery time analysis.
    • Cause-and-effect diagram. 
  • Use American Society for Quality (ASQ) data analysis tools and 2–3 additional scholarly or academic sources where applicable.
  • Use APA formatting for citations and references.

Answer question

1) Begin by offering some context for the novel, in terms of its historical concerns, its place in the genre, its reception, or perhaps in Shirley Jackson’s career. (That is, begin thinking through which sort of GA you’d like to write…)  State some specific, interesting themes or elements that you’d like to think and write about further. 

2) Then, ask yourself at least two questions based on the context you’ve just described.  Your questions might consider any combination of rhetorical and formal elements: message, purpose, form/genre conventions, social/historical context, rhetor and/or audience.  Your questions don’t have to cover everything, but they should focus on HOW one element affects another, not simply what they are.

3) Next, describe your purpose in writing this Genre Analysis essay.  What specific skills (research and source integration, close-reading primary texts, developing a strong thesis argument, etc.) and knowledge (cultural and historical background of the novel or concerns therein, conventions of plot and form common to the genre–or subgenre, if you’re interested in the female gothic or psychological horror, etc.) do you want/need to demonstrate in your GA?  How will you go about strengthening and demonstrating these skills and knowledge in your writing?  How do you want the topic and argument of your GA to contribute to larger classroom discussions of the American gothic?

Understanding theory, policy, and practice within the field today requires a long lens through which current research is considered within the context of historical contributions and theoretical perspectives. Just as we strive to understand children within their context, we must work to understand the current contemporary issues and their contextual origins.

In this Assignment, you explore contemporary issues in early childhood education in terms of their current evidence base and historical context. This Assignment provides you with a unique opportunity to understand what has shaped knowledge of contemporary issues and how these are defined today.

To Prepare

Imagine that you have been invited to work with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to organize a World Conference on Early Childhood Education. The theme this year is a shared vision of what it means to work for the healthy development of young children and their families and why this work is vitally important. People from all over the world working in related fields who believe in this goal will be in attendance, as well as high-level officials who need help understanding the historical underpinnings and current evidence base for key issues of impact within the field of early childhood. You have been asked to organize a specific conference subtopic of your choice—one that either investigates an issue, provides essential foundational knowledge, or encourages exploration/debate related to a particular issue that affects healthy development of young children and positive family outcomes.

You may choose one of the conference subtopics below, or decide on one of your own:

  • The role of play in supporting healthy development and learning
  • The role of attachment in supporting healthy development and learning
  • The impact of historical and/or contemporary views of children, development, and learning on early childhood education
  • The nature of childhood
  • The role of family engagement in fostering healthy development and learning through early childhood education
  • Cultural responsiveness, bias, and stereotyping as they effect identity development in young children

QUESTION 1

Week 5 – Discussion

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

Collaborative Transition Teams

Your written response to this discussion prompt assesses your ability to (a) summarize effective methods to communicate with all stakeholders, considering their individual interests, priorities and cultural differences for programming of students with disabilities and to (b) summarize the collective decision-making and planning responsibilities for transition teams.

In this discussion, you will be creating a database of resources that will be useful for collaborative teams that provide transition services. Imagine that you are part of the transition team for Kara, who is depicted in Chapter 16 of your textbook, “Snapshot: Transition Planning for Kara:”

Kara, a student at Washington High School, will be turning 16 next month. She lives at home and loves to be with her friends. Her IEP indicates that she has difficulty with reading and written communication. Kara and her mother recently participated in a team meeting that included Kara’s special education teacher, a vocational educator, the school principal, and a job coach. https://paperwriters.xyz/uncategorized/creating-a-database-of-resources-that-will-be-useful-for-collaborative-teams-that-provide-transition-services/ A job coach is generally an individual who accompanies an employee to a job, learns the essential functions of the job, and provides strategies and supports for the employee to do the job. The team reviewed the plans for making a transition to the community after Kara finishes high school. The priorities that the team identified were developing self-advocacy skills, considering postsecondary educational opportunities in the community, and completing applications for summer employment. Based upon (Cohen & Spenciner, 2009, p. 469)

You will assume the role of one of the following characters: general education teacher, special education teacher, vocational educator, administrator, or job coach. Once this is determined, you will identify one of the following categories from the Life Centered Career Education (LCCE) transition categories: daily living skills, personal-social skills, or occupational guidance and preparation (Brolin, 1993).

Initial Post: In your initial post, you will:

· Describe, in non-education lingo, what your chosen LCCE category means.

· Identify three to five resources that your character could utilize to carry out the chosen transition category. Cite and annotate each one.

· Explain to Kara, her mother, and the rest of the transition team why you chose the resources.

· Based on your role as a member of the transition team, summarize how you plan to contribute to the shared decision-making and planning responsibilities for the transition team.

For further information about the LCCE transition services, please see the Career Education Curriculum section in Chapter 16 of your textbook (p. 486). Additionally, read the Instructor Guidance on Career Education Curriculum.

Guided Response: Assume the role of Kara, her mother, or a different member of the transition team. Based on this point of view, ask clarifying questions of your peers, provide additional resources, and/or constructively disagree with the suggestions and present a different approach.

Though two replies are the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and application of the material, you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you (including your instructor) before Day 7. Be sure to ask questions of your peers to gain additional information and to meaningfully continue the discussion. https://paperwriters.xyz/uncategorized/creating-a-database-of-resources-that-will-be-useful-for-collaborative-teams-that-provide-transition-services/ This ongoing engagement in the discussion will deepen the conversation, while also providing opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real-world experiences with this topic.

The Republican victory in 1896 gave heart to proponents of prosperity through foreign trade.   McKinley sought neither war nor colonies, but many in his party wanted both. Called “jingos,” they included Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Theodore Roosevelt; John Hay, the ambassador to London, and senators Albert Beveridge and Henry Cabot Lodge.  Britain, France, and Germany were seizing territory around the world, and jingos believed the United States needed to do the same for strategic, religious, and economic reasons.
