QUESTION 11. Discuss the differences between attributes and vari.docx

QUESTION 1
1. Discuss the differences between attributes and variables data.
Both variable data and attribute data measure the state of an
object or a process, but the kind of information that each
describes differs. Variable data involve numbers measured on a
continuous scale, while attribute data involve characteristics or
other information that you can't quantify. Each has its own
benefits over the other.

Variable Data
Variable data include numerical measurements about a product
or item, such as its size, weight or age. The measurements for a
70-inch television, foot-long ruler, or a turkey that weighs 10
pounds are all examples of variable data. You can also get
averages from this kind of data, such as an average age for a
population in a city or the average temperature on any given day
of the year.
Attribute Data
Attribute data consider the quality of a product or item rather
than quantifiable numbers. They provide ancillary information
about these things, such as the color or finish of a product.
Attribute data may also include a count of some sort, such as
the number of people who go to the movies, or how many
products manufactured by a machine are defective. You cannot
use attribute data to calculate other information, such as
averages or rankings.
Benefits of Variable Data
Variable data provide detailed and concrete information about a

product. In contrast, attribute data may be obscure or unhelpful.
For example, if nails need to be made to a one-inch
specification, with a leeway of 0.1-inches either way, variable
data about each nail would provide the exact length. Attribute
data would only state whether each nail fit the specification or
not. It wouldn't state whether the nail was too long or too short.
Benefits of Attribute Data
Attribute data are often more helpful when qualitative
information is needed. Examples include the state of an object,
non-numerical characteristics and customer feedback. For
example, the attribute data might count the number of people
who shop at a specific store, or the size of a product, such as a
small or large serving of food. Attribute data are useful for
analysis as you can use attribute data to create ratios,
percentages or charts, whereas variable data don't lend itself as
freely to this.
QUESTION 2
1. What are the four levels of follower maturity defined by the
situational leadership theory?
2. Follower maturity is divided into four levels ranging from
low maturity to high maturity.
3. Situational Leadership Theory
Follower Maturity Levels
4. Maturity can also be thought of as a followers readiness to be
led. It is based on their ability to perform the task and
their willingness to perform the task.
Maturity
Level
Description
M1
Low
The group or individual is not able and not willing to do the
given task.

M2
Low to Moderate
The group or individual is not able but willing to do the given
task.
M3
Moderate to High
The group or individual is able but not willing to do the given
task.
M4
High
The group or individual is able and willing to do the given task.
QUESTION 3
1. In Excel’s Histogram tool, how are bins defined?
Bin numbers These numbers represent the intervals that you
want the Histogram tool to use for measuring the input data in
the data analysis.
When you use the Histogram tool, Excel counts the number of
data points in each data bin. A data point is included in a
particular bin if the number is greater than the lowest bound and
equal to or less than the greatest bound for the data bin. If you
omit the bin range, Excel creates a set of evenly distributed bins
between the minimum and maximum values of the input data.
The output of the histogram analysis is displayed on a new
worksheet (or in a new workbook) and shows a histogram table
and a column chart that reflects the data in the histogram table.
QUESTION 4
Describe concurrent engineering.
Concurrent engineering, also known as simultaneous
engineering, is a method of designing and developing products,
in which the different stages run simultaneously, rather than
consecutively. It decreases product development time and also
the time to market, leading to improved productivity and
reduced costs.
Concurrent Engineering is a long term business strategy, with

long term benefits to business. Though initial implementation
can be challenging, the competitive advantage means it is
beneficial in the long term. It removes the need to have multiple
design reworks, by creating an environment for designing a
product right the first time round.
QUESTION 5
1. List the six basic steps involved in building the house of
quality.
The house of quality relates customer attributes to technical
features to ensure that all design decisions are based on the
customer needs.
House of quality development consists of six basic steps:
1. Identify customer attributes
2. Identify technical features
3. Relate customer attributes to technical features
4. Conduct an evaluation of the competing product
5. Evaluate technical features and develop targets
6. Determine which technical features to deploy in the
remainder of the production process.
Identify customer attributes
During identification of customer needs, information collected
from the customers becomes very important. In applying QFD,
it is important to keep the customer's own words so that they are
not misinterpreted by designers and engineers. In many cases,
all customers are not end users; in such situations, need of end
users and other affected customers should also be collected and
attributes should be identified based on complete information.
Identify technical features
Technical features are design attributes or quality
characteristics, expressed in the language of designers and
engineers, which form the basis for subsequent design,
production, supply and servicing processes. Technical features

should be objective and measurable.
Relate the customer attributes to technical features
A relationship matrix is developed to show whether final
technical features adequately cover the customer attributes. The
assessment is made on the basis of experience of experts,
customer responses or controlled experiments. Customer
attributes are listed down in the left column of House of Quality
and technical features are written across the top. Some symbols
are used in the matrix to indicate the degree of relationship.
Technical features can affect several customer attributes. The
lack of strong relationship between a customer attribute and
relevant technical attribute means the attribute is not adequately
addressed and the final product may not be able to meet the
customer needs. If a technical feature does not affect any
customer attribute, it may be redundant or the designers might
have missed some important customer attributes.
Evaluate competing product
In this step, importance ratings of each customer attributes are
identified and evaluation of the existing competing products is
made on each of the attributes. Competitive evaluation helps in
identification of strengths and weaknesses of each product.
This step helps designers to seek opportunities for improvement
to make the best product. By improving the quality of design,
the designers can create the most competitive products.
Evaluate technical features and develop quality goals
Technical features are evaluated by testing of the product and
quality goals are set in measurable terms. These evaluations are
compared with competitive evaluation of customer attributes to
determine consistency between customer evaluations and
technical evaluations.

Resident is at risk for falls based on the fact that she takes
psychotropic medications. She has not fallen
since she has been here. She needs assistance of 1 to transfer
and ambulate. In the wheelchair she must
be pushed to and from all locations as she becomes SOB if
doing it herself. No restraints are being
used. No complaints of vertigo, etc.
Causal factors appear to be triggered by psychotropic drug
usage.

Social worker notes
6/14/x Tried talking with patient when she was in her
wheelchair by the nurses station. She was angry
and I was unable to have a conversation with her. A few
minutes later she was in the dining
room and came with me into the library. Her mood had changed
drastically and I was able to
review the Bill of Rights. Patient was pleasant but her answers
were short phrases.
Patient would like to return to her home. Explained to patient
that a decision was made with

her, her family and her physician to spend some time in this
facility after her stay in the hospital.
The ultimate plan is for her return to her home to be with her
husband. Son requests a Care
Conference and it is scheduled for 6/18/xx.

OT notes
6/15/xx Resident is being seen for ADL training. She is alert
and oriented. She states that her goal is
to return to previous living with her husband. Strength and
endurance is poor. Functional skills
have decreased due to deceased strength and endurance.
��

PT
6/16/xx Resident is independent in bed mobility. Transfers with
standby assistance. Walks 50’ with
wheeled walker and stand-by assistance. Balance is good.
Distance depends on whether she
is SOB. Was SOB today. Pulse was OK. States that the
humidity makes breathing difficult.

OT notes
6/17/xx Jane has been pleasant and cooperative. Occasionally
she has SOB and decreased
endurance due to high humidity weather. Overall demonstrates
improving strength,
endurance and standing tolerance through increasing weights,
repeated exercises, and
increasing standing time. Resident would benefit from
continued occupational therapy.

Care Conference 6/18/xx
Son states that his mother wants to be near his father who lives
in Northwild, about 30 miles
away but his father would not be able to care for her and she is
not yet a candidate for home
health. There is a long term care facility a short distance from
their home with a current opening
at this time. The son believes that his mother would be much
happier if a transfer could be
made as soon as possible. Arrangements will be made.

6/18/xx Physical and Occupational Therapy Discharge Summary
Jane received physical and occupational therapy from the time
she was admitted to our facility
through her discharge. She progressed from assistance of 1
with transfers and ambulation to
minimal assistance only. She is independent in bed mobility.
Strength has improved, as has her
endurance. The resident can ambulate 100 to 150 feet with a
wheeled walker. She can
ambulate without a walker, but gait pattern is poor. Her largest
remaining problem is shortness
of breath, and this limits her activity level. We have been
unable to have her become completely
independent of the wheelchair because of this.
Our recommendations are that Jane continue to ambulate at least
1 to 2 times/day, and
that she be encourage to participate in her cares as much as
possible.
