Select one person or design movement from the reading and write a brief response to a single piece of their work that explains the work and how it connects to the reading.

Develop a 7-page process improvement plan for the provided scenario, using data to support your recommendations.

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

Scenario:
You will apply the option scenario in the requirements below.

Option:
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 its 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.

Your Role:
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.

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 scenario.

-For 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 the 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.
-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 of 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.

-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. 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 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. (example attached to file)

Related company standards:
-The process improvement plan is a professional document and should, therefore, follow the corresponding MBA Academic and Professional Document Guidelines 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.

College Students and Stress
College students, as you may know from personal experience, face many stressful situations. Different factors can trigger stress and, subsequently, stressful responses in students of all ages and backgrounds. Appropriate interventions must be taken to address stress-causing factors and help preserve the health and wellness of college students.

Joe is 37 years of age and enrolled at an online institution for the completion of his undergraduate degree. He currently juggles a part-time course load, along with his full-time job as a personal trainer. Due to the nature of his job, he primarily works early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and some weekends. Thus, he has to fit-in schoolwork whenever he can. Joe is married to Danielle and they have two small children (ages 4 and 2). While Joe and Danielle have a good marital relationship, finances are tight since Danielle does not work. Joe has missed some assignment submission deadlines, which have caused him sleepless nights and many restless days. He admits to being stressed and has relied on alcohol several times to calm himself down and help him go to sleep.
After reading your specific case assignment, please address the following elements:
Briefly analyze the relationship between the student’s stress factors and the impacts on his/her health.
Propose at least four appropriate interventions and identify whether these fall within the life-situation, perception, or emotional arousal intervention categories.
Assess how your intervention recommendations may change if the college student was a minority student.

Topic: Managing Change
Patient satisfaction has been low on your medical-surgical unit, for which you are the manager. When this is reported in a staff meeting, a new RN on the unit reported that hourly rounding has been identified in the nursing literature as a way to improve patient satisfaction. Some members of the nursing staff are willing to implement anything to improve patient satisfaction, as salary bonuses are tied to the unit satisfaction scores. Other staff members feel that this new nurse is pushy and are not willing to implement any suggestion she makes for improvement. The unit has been understaffed for a couple of months and the nurses are feeling overwhelmed by the workload.
Using Lewin’s Force Field Model of Change:
1) identify the driving and restraining forces for this change and
2) apply the three stages to implement change to hourly rounding.
3) Describe the role of the change agent and
4) How to manage resistance to change.

You are the emergency manager in a city with a population of 250,000 in the southeastern United States. Your city manager wants to aggressively reduce the city’s vulnerability to natural hazards and wants you to develop a policy to facilitate the city’s vulnerability to natural hazards.

In a policy proposal, explain how your city could reduce the city’s vulnerability to natural hazards. Provide at least 1 recommendation for improving the city’s protective measures for critical infrastructure. All recommendations must be sufficiently justified or backed up by academic sources. You should ensure that you address each of the 16 CI sectors.

Demonstrate an understanding of vulnerability by identifying 1 vulnerability in each of the 16 CI sectors.

For example, in the Agriculture and Food sector (among many others), a common vulnerability is flooding. Flooding is routinely mitigated by structural controls such as levees and dams (another sector).
—————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Address the following in a policy proposal of 3-4 pages (THAT MEANS I NEED 3 WRITTEN PAGES AND THAT’S NOT INCLUDING THE COVER PAGE OR REFERENCES.)

For each CI sector, do the following:

Identify 1–2 vulnerabilities that exist in your locality.

Describe the vulnerability or vulnerabilities, and explain their significance to the sector.

Provide 1–2 recommendations for improving the city’s protective measures for critical infrastructure.

How will the vulnerabilities be addressed (mitigation)?

Consider cost, practicality, complexity, danger, and maintenance in your recommendations.

For example, in the Agriculture and Food sector, a common vulnerability is flooding. Flooding is routinely mitigated by structural controls such as levees and dams.

Conclude your proposal with a summary of your findings.

Provide an overview of how your city could reduce its overall vulnerability to natural hazards.

Compile your responses into your final proposal, and submit the file to your instructor.
