The Six Sigm An Approach For Business Improvement Keeping...
Six Sigma is an approach for Business Improvement keeping customer satisfaction as the primary goal and to find and eliminate variations in parts
based on the outputs obtained. Six Sigma is a strategic process. Implementation of Six Sigma effectively would ensure enhanced customer satisfaction
boosting sales and profit levels.
Six Sigma has two different focuses which includes Management and technical [1]. The Management focus deals with Project metrics, identifying
goals, approving/selecting projects and selecting the workforce on the project [1]. The technical focus primarily deals with minimizing the variation
and improving process performance. Six Sigma predominantly depends on the management team inorder to complete the assigned projects in timely
manner and to ascertain meeting specific objectives. The Business improvement involves five different stages. Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and
Control. Six Sigma gives at most importance to detailed results at the bottomline and predict the impact on the Business environment before the Project
is approved. The four significant aspects of Six Sigma are customer satisfaction, understanding of the Process, critical decision – making and Business
results. Six Sigma is advantageous for companies that rely on bottom–line results and minimizing the number of defects in the Production process. Six
Sigma serves as the common technique or mode in order to measure quality gains of different organizations and also to compare one

Dynamic Seal
Issue: Dynamic Seal, a precision parts manufacturer with a reputation for high quality, does not currently utilize a Statistical Process Control (SPC)
system. However, United Airlines (UA), a major customer representing 14% of Dynamic Seal's business, insists they implement an SPC system or
loose United Airlines' business. In addition Dynamic Seal do not have a sound preventative measure quality control system in place, preferring 100%
inspection to cull bad quality, rather than building parts correctly from inception.
Goal: Reduce product variance and the need for rework by implementing a company–wide quality control system that includes an element of Statistical
Process Control. A secondary goal is to reduce waste by focusing on Lean... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
6.Machinists set informal equipment specifications, not the QC Dept.
7.The company operates a 100% inspection policy.
8.In–process inspection is infrequent, therefore origin of 25% of defective issues cannot be found.
9.Inspection and assignment of rework involves significant lag.
10.QC system generates significant volumes of paperwork: 80 defective reports (DMR) per week.
11.Product blueprints and Inspection Specs (IMS) often do not match and are not updated.
12.Initial defective rate documents (DMR) are often produced post–rework.
Analysis: Two sets of process data have been collected for initial analysis. Before specific SPC issues can be addressed the process and equipment
should be assessed to see they meet the capability requirements laid out in the customer specs.
The first process examined uses the Lablond Lathe machinery and requires a machined diameter of 7.7250, plus tight tolerances of + .0005 inches. A
Process Capability Ratio (Cpk) analysis of the lathe's data, results in a Cpk of .379 (exhibit A). A result of less than one indicates the machine is not
capable of matching the tolerances laid out in the IMS spec. Therefore the Lablond Lathe is not suitable to handle the process it is being used for.
Before a more suitable machine is selected, the Lablond Lathe should be checked for calibration, as should the measuring equipment used. If all fall

Improving Customer Satisfaction Without Changing The...
This case study deals with improving customer satisfaction without changing the support cost per call. The problem was resolved using a Six
Sigma DMAIC problem solving methodology. The basic equation of Six Sigma, Y = f(x), defines the relationship between a dependent variable 'Y'
or the outcome of a process and a set of independent variables 'x' or possible causes which affect the outcome. In this case study, 'Y' is the new
account growth, whereas 'x" is the number of transfers, wait time, and service. The Company The subject company is an IT Call Center, which is in a
highly competitive industry due to it being the fastest growing industry in the world. With competition being so fierce, this creates low prices in the
given market. Subsequently, for an organization to maintain market share and profitability, it must offer the best service in the market. The call center
provides services to a variety of customers such as online and telephone services. The responsibilities of a call center are to handle questions from
clients with problems. The company purchased industry data from a clearinghouse, which gathers a variety of information about customer satisfaction
and call center technical and business performance. By comparing their company to the industry standards, they discovered their customer satisfaction

Researchers Lamm, Eckel, and Amerine desired to explore the effectiveness of Lean Six Sigma principles on improving turnaround times at a busy
U.S. infusion clinic. The team implemented a three–phase study in which they first analyzed turnaround times for a period of 12 months. Next, they
implemented several Lean tools including a five–day Kaizen event to identify potential ways to reduce turn around times from 60 to the new goal of 45
minutes. During the last phase the researches implemented strategies identified during the Kaizen event.

These methodologies have led to procedure changes in response to inconsistencies identified through Six Sigma's strategies. However, the researchers
noted that sometimes changes where implemented without sufficient statistical evidence to support the change. Yet in other cases some statistical
findings were over exaggerated. Therefore, they advise that care should be taken to determine the practicality of changes. This study provides the
reader with enough evidence to support the use of Six Sigma in healthcare while highlighting some of the potential pitfalls of the methodology.
The purpose of this study was to develop long–term solutions targeted at improving care outcomes in a high–risk Neurotrauma Intensive Care Unit
(NTICU). The authors utilized Six Sigma strategies, specifically Define–Measure–Analyze–Control (DMAIC), to reduce central line use and curb
central line–associated bloodstream infections (CLASBI). The driving factors for the study are increasing pressures from the Institute of Medicine and
the Joint Commission to reduce hospital–associated infections.
Initiatives derived from the use of Six Sigma's DMAIC process were responsible for reducing the NTICU CLASBI rate below national benchmarks.
Ultimately, these initiatives resulted in a total savings of $204,092 in costs related to avoidable infections. Project outcomes were also significant for

Implementing Best Procurement And Acquisition Practices
In order to institutionalize best procurement and acquisition practices in an organization, I would begin by forming a cross–functional team made up of
supply management personnel, finance personnel, attorneys, human resources, engineers, and other subject matter experts. As was highlighted in
chapter ___ of the class text, this is the best approach for ensuring that the broadest possible range of ideas and perspectives are incorporated early
into the planning process. Additionally, it ensures that a great idea conceived of by one functional area is viewed from within the restrictions and/or
limitations imposed by another. As with specifications development, this process allows the team to develop a reasonable, effective, and
implementable plan that works across functional areas and provides the greatest return on investment. One company that has been particularly
successful in implementing best practices is Toyota. I would adopt that companies approach to implementing best practices by delegating
responsibility down to the lowest level. For example, if anyone on the factory floor spots a deficiency, he or she has the authority to stop the assembly
line so that the condition and its contributing factors may be examined, recorded, and analyzed. This same principle could be applied to the acquisition
process. By empowering rank–and–file purchasers, contract specialists, contract administrators, and quality control personnel to approach management

Australia And Japan Expressed Their Interest Of Signing A...
Australia and Japan expressed their interest in signing a defence technology cooperation agreement after Japanese Prime Minister Abe and Australian
Prime Minister Tony Abbott 's meeting during Abe's visit to Australia in July (Prime Minister of Australia 2014). This is surprising for the international
society as the Japanese constitution did not allow Japan to export its military technologies until the Japanese government's recent change to Article 9
(Nye 2014). Even though the agreement is not signed yet, this news had attracted many attention from around the globe. There are various kinds of

the company's capabilities. For example: the plan must be financially feasible for the company to carry out.
I would employ process strategy to meet our goals and objectives. Two of our objectives are to consolidate manufacturing facilities and to increase
productivity by 20%. This can be done using process choice to structure our manufacturing processes. Since the company only makes one product, the
line process could work to produce high volumes of standardized cans of soup in one plant. The line process also allows the company to meet another
objective of accelerating innovation by making new products on the same line. Modifying the tomato soup line is feasible because they can make new
similar soups with the same ingredients or by using tomato soup as the base for different recipes. The line process coupled with a make–to–stock

The Role and Nature of Power
Definition of Power
The role and nature of power is often contested in its definition and can be seen as a broad and generic term. Building blocks of 'Power' include factors
such as population, territory, wealth, political stability and competence, and military strength (armies and navies). , Military power will be used as the
constituent of 'power' for this essay.
There are two important categories of power within the International System. These are distinguished as Potential and Actual Power.
Potential Power
Based on population size and the level of wealth of a state. Population and wealth are the main components of military power.
Actual Power
This is based on the military forces that directly support a state.

Edward Luttwak 's Analysis On Military Force, Military...
Edward Luttwak's analysis of Roman strategy evaluates the link between military force, military power, policy, and deterrence. Luttwak describes
force as the actual application of a state's military capability while power is derived from the state's perceived ability to impose force. The Romans
employed a combination of force and power to achieve their policy aims regarding security. Deterrence provides security by relying on power and
the threat of force to prevent an adversary from committing an unwanted act. Today, United States policy leverages the nation's perceived power,
bolstered by its potential to employ force, in order to deter aggression by potential adversaries and enhance security. To begin, it is important to
explore Luttwak's definitions of force and power. He describes the use of military force as a finite ability to directly apply military means in order to
force an adversary's compliance. A state's ability to use force is thus limited by the size of itsmilitary capability and its ability to concentrate that
capability against an enemy. More importantly, once military forces are committed to an action they are no longer available to pursue other objectives
and are essentially consumed. The implication is that reliance on military force limits a state's ability to achieve its objectives to the amount of force it
can employ at a given time and place. Examples of the finite nature of military force are numerous. Luttwak points to

They would be required to understand the political, economic, diplomatic, technological and military environment. Most of the operations would be

appropriately apply the highly potent capabilities of Aerospace power to achieve the desired results most cost effectively. This paper focuses on
Professional Military Education (PME) requirements of the officer cadre in view of the transformation of the Egyptian Air Force by 2030.

Introduction Of A Six Sigma Project Has Been Performed On...
Introduction
A six–sigma project has been performed on Music Co. as the company was experiencing a high number of tickets relating to its digital release
planning system that caused delays in expected release date. The delays affected customer satisfaction because if the music vendor did not release
their recording on time, it would lead the customer to opt for a pirated version, which also causes company loss in sales. The company hopes the
project team can use DMAIC to analyze and improve their release process in a timely fashion with fewer errors. They also hope to find out what
reasons caused the delays and eliminate the root causes. The planning involves various human based processes, so the company wants to achieve as
few errors as possible.
Summary
Before they start to utilize DMAIC into this project, they have created a project qualification checklist to weigh and focus on segments that they should
concentrate and improve on. However, they finalized this project as a must–do and will be able to grow the process but cannot reengineer the whole
procedure.
As stated above, the company used DMAIC to define the problem and solve it. In this project, the author has also included lessons learned at the end

Statistical Control Charts Essay
Introduction and History of Statistical Process Control Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a method of controlling the quality of a manufacturing
process and is most often affiliated with control charts. However, SPC in reality is a group of tools and includes additional statistical and evaluation
/measurement methods. Smith, Megahed, Jones‐Farmer and Clark defined seven basic tools of SPC including; histograms, check sheets, Pareto
charts, cause–and–effect diagrams, defect concentration diagrams, scatter diagrams and of course the aforementioned control charts (2014). These
tools represent the scope and overall purpose/pursuit of SPC which is; "any statistical method designed to detect changes in a process over time"
(Woodall & Montgomery, 1999, p. 377). Since control charts is often the most discussed of these seven tools; it is important to note there are many
different types of control charts. The main control charts include; process charts which are R–charts and s–charts, non–conforming item charts also
known as p–charts and np–charts and finally average numbers of non–conformity charts or c–charts and u–charts (Woodall & Montgomery, 1999).
Statistical Process Control experienced its most significant growth and expansion during the quality revolution in the 1980's (Woodall & Montgomery,

Analysis of The Great Illusion, by Norman Angell Essay
Advances in technology and the expansion of trade have, without a doubt, improved the standard of living dramatically for peoples around the world.
Globalization brings respect for law and human rights and the democratization of politics, education, and finance to developing societies, but is
usually slow in doing so. It is no easy transition or permanent solution to conflict, as some overly zealous proponents would argue. In The Great
Illusion, Norman Angell sees globalization as a force which results from and feeds back into the progressive change of human behavior from using
physical force toward using rational, peaceful methods in order to achieve economic security and prosperity. He believes that nations will no longer

His rosy view of globalization at the beginning of the twentieth century is also naГЇve in that it downplays the role and the potential strength of
nationalism, especially during times of crisis, and refers to military spending and arms buildup as "economically futile" rather than as dangerous but
necessary, as they in fact were.
While colonialism did not always pay, in many cases it did allow a military power to promote development of and trade with a colony in ways that
would benefit the mother country. Angell correctly emphasizes the importance of trade to economic prosperity, but incorrectly asserts that colonizing
nations cannot influence trade patterns or reap a profit from the trade that a colony carries on. Furthermore, Angell focuses his criticism of military
spending on demonstrating the pointlessness of using military force to physically invade and steal gold reserves or take over factories, or to kill off
foreign "competitors" who are vital as producers and consumers in the global economy. No nation intended to use their military force for this purpose.
In reality, European nations used military force to protect economic holdings, such as safe trade routes and favorable tariffs and taxes. While he is
correct to some degree in saying that military power will not force consumers to buy products of inferior quality, political power does secure the right

Robbins, S. (2005) describes six variables that are routinely evident in customer–responsive cultures like GE.
Type of Employees: "outgoing and friendly"
Low Formalization: "freedom to meet changing customer–service requirements"
Extension of Low Formalization: widespread use of empowerment i.e. decision discretion to do what is necessary to please the customer.
Good Listening Skills: "listen to and understand messages sent by the customer"
Role Clarity: "Service employees act as _boundary spanners_ between the organization and its customers"
Organizational Citizenship Behavior: employees are conscience of customers needs and go above and beyond the call of duty to satisfy a customer's
needs
GE has been able to build such a strong and loyal customer base by meeting each of the six variables described by Robbins. Variable one, type of

Chen HONGSHENG, a military scientist who is leading stealth technology capability development for the J20 made an initial unsolicited approach
towards our organization fourteen months ago. Since then HONGSHENG has made six other attempts to make contact for a total of seven approaches.
During those approaches he provided information of intelligence value to two occasions. On the second occasion he provided personal information
which will be used to support background checks.
Given the current political and security climate this operation will be highly sensitive and therefore the overall assessed risk of the operation is high.
Additional precautions will be taken to ensure the security of the overall operation. Until additional information on HONGSHENG is available this
operation will be treated as if HONGSHENG has already been compromised. The compromise, given his desperation could mean that he is providing
information to other intelligence organizations, we will not assue that we are the only organization that he has approached. Even if HONGSHENG's
intent is legitimate, given that he has made seven know approaches, there is a high probability that he is under suspicion. Therefore, we will not use

The previous data shows the curetime during the molding process is stable and under control. In contrast, the additional data is out of control, and
considerable fluctuation in the data.
In this statistical process control, we set control limits three standard deviations above the mean and three standard deviations below. This mean that

Regardless of whether individuals take up the alternatives they have, the fact that they do have valuable options is significant. For instance, regardless
of the possibility that the dietary condition of individuals who are fasting and starving is the same, the way that fasting is a choice ought to be

evaluation should portray this complexity into consideration. This leads to the deliberate 'under–theorization' of the Capability Approach that has been

A critical part of Sen's argument for the Capability Approach identifies with his critique of alternative philosophical and economics accounts.
Specifically, he argues that, whatever their specific qualities, none of them give an examination of prosperity that is suitable as a general idea; they
are all centered on the wrong specific things (whether utility, freedom or essential merchandise). Sen's reactions of economic utilitarianism and John

The average of fraction defective is merely a number which cannot tell us what to do with it even when we get it. Thus SPC is more accurate and
systematic to analyze the process of customer service operation.
2. Primary challenges
There are basically two challenges that implementing the SPC to a service company:
1) Difficulties of deciding and selecting what to measure and
2) Too much uncertainty because of the human behavior
3. Sample: how SPC works
Here is an example of employing SPC (P–Chart) for DAV's PMV project.
The first 12 weeks of the data displayed in Appendix I represent the diagnostic period for the Policy Extension Group.
From the calculation (See Appendix I), we get the 3–sigma control limits for the process, i.e. UCL=0.091, LCL=0.014. These control limits indicate
that if the error proportion is within the range of [0.014, 0.091], the process is under control; if not, the process is out of control.
Here is the P–Chart for the data from Week 13 to Week 30.

Risks And Risk Response Strategies
Having identified the risks and grouped them according to severity, the first trade–off the manager has to make is the decision to forego managing the
less severe risks and focus on those which pose the most severe threat to the project. More significant risk may include risks which require the entire
redesign of the project, whereas less severe risk may include those which cause little or no material changes to the project. Since the less severe risks
are likely to cause little or no material changes to the project and use less resources, it is reasonable to trade–off these risks in favour of managing the
more severe risks. On the other hand, these risks will remain and continue to pose a threat to the project, therefore they should be recorded in the
risk register and dealt with as secondary risks. Risk response strategies should then be implemented to deal with both the severe and less severe risks
which have been previously identified and analysed (Elkington & Smallman, 2002). Hillson (2009) identifies four possible risk response strategies:
avoidance; transfer; mitigation and acceptance. Risk avoidance involves completely eliminating the possibility of the risk. The simplest and most
common method of avoiding the risk is removing it from the project deliverable. Another common way of avoiding risks is designing around them.
Risk transfer involves giving the responsibility of the risk to someone or an organisation outside of the project. There are several ways

The Six Sigm An Approach For Business Improvement Keeping...

  • 1. The Six Sigm An Approach For Business Improvement Keeping... Six Sigma is an approach for Business Improvement keeping customer satisfaction as the primary goal and to find and eliminate variations in parts based on the outputs obtained. Six Sigma is a strategic process. Implementation of Six Sigma effectively would ensure enhanced customer satisfaction boosting sales and profit levels. Six Sigma has two different focuses which includes Management and technical [1]. The Management focus deals with Project metrics, identifying goals, approving/selecting projects and selecting the workforce on the project [1]. The technical focus primarily deals with minimizing the variation and improving process performance. Six Sigma predominantly depends on the management team inorder to complete the assigned projects in timely manner and to ascertain meeting specific objectives. The Business improvement involves five different stages. Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control. Six Sigma gives at most importance to detailed results at the bottomline and predict the impact on the Business environment before the Project is approved. The four significant aspects of Six Sigma are customer satisfaction, understanding of the Process, critical decision – making and Business results. Six Sigma is advantageous for companies that rely on bottom–line results and minimizing the number of defects in the Production process. Six Sigma serves as the common technique or mode in order to measure quality gains of different organizations and also to compare one ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Dynamic Seal Issue: Dynamic Seal, a precision parts manufacturer with a reputation for high quality, does not currently utilize a Statistical Process Control (SPC) system. However, United Airlines (UA), a major customer representing 14% of Dynamic Seal's business, insists they implement an SPC system or loose United Airlines' business. In addition Dynamic Seal do not have a sound preventative measure quality control system in place, preferring 100% inspection to cull bad quality, rather than building parts correctly from inception. Goal: Reduce product variance and the need for rework by implementing a company–wide quality control system that includes an element of Statistical Process Control. A secondary goal is to reduce waste by focusing on Lean... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... 6.Machinists set informal equipment specifications, not the QC Dept. 7.The company operates a 100% inspection policy. 8.In–process inspection is infrequent, therefore origin of 25% of defective issues cannot be found. 9.Inspection and assignment of rework involves significant lag. 10.QC system generates significant volumes of paperwork: 80 defective reports (DMR) per week. 11.Product blueprints and Inspection Specs (IMS) often do not match and are not updated. 12.Initial defective rate documents (DMR) are often produced post–rework. Analysis: Two sets of process data have been collected for initial analysis. Before specific SPC issues can be addressed the process and equipment should be assessed to see they meet the capability requirements laid out in the customer specs. The first process examined uses the Lablond Lathe machinery and requires a machined diameter of 7.7250, plus tight tolerances of + .0005 inches. A Process Capability Ratio (Cpk) analysis of the lathe's data, results in a Cpk of .379 (exhibit A). A result of less than one indicates the machine is not capable of matching the tolerances laid out in the IMS spec. Therefore the Lablond Lathe is not suitable to handle the process it is being used for. Before a more suitable machine is selected, the Lablond Lathe should be checked for calibration, as should the measuring equipment used. If all fall within calibration specs, new ...

  • 3. Improving Customer Satisfaction Without Changing The... This case study deals with improving customer satisfaction without changing the support cost per call. The problem was resolved using a Six Sigma DMAIC problem solving methodology. The basic equation of Six Sigma, Y = f(x), defines the relationship between a dependent variable 'Y' or the outcome of a process and a set of independent variables 'x' or possible causes which affect the outcome. In this case study, 'Y' is the new account growth, whereas 'x" is the number of transfers, wait time, and service. The Company The subject company is an IT Call Center, which is in a highly competitive industry due to it being the fastest growing industry in the world. With competition being so fierce, this creates low prices in the given market. Subsequently, for an organization to maintain market share and profitability, it must offer the best service in the market. The call center provides services to a variety of customers such as online and telephone services. The responsibilities of a call center are to handle questions from clients with problems. The company purchased industry data from a clearinghouse, which gathers a variety of information about customer satisfaction and call center technical and business performance. By comparing their company to the industry standards, they discovered their customer satisfaction was average or below the industry standard. The company's satisfaction rating is 73% on a 100% standardized score, whereas the industry average is 76% and best in ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Lean Six Sigma Principles On Improving Turnaround Times At... Researchers Lamm, Eckel, and Amerine desired to explore the effectiveness of Lean Six Sigma principles on improving turnaround times at a busy U.S. infusion clinic. The team implemented a three–phase study in which they first analyzed turnaround times for a period of 12 months. Next, they implemented several Lean tools including a five–day Kaizen event to identify potential ways to reduce turn around times from 60 to the new goal of 45 minutes. During the last phase the researches implemented strategies identified during the Kaizen event. The study revealed positive results! Implementation of Lean principles identified process–improvement strategies that improved department workflow and successfully reduced chemotherapy turnaround time ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... These methodologies have led to procedure changes in response to inconsistencies identified through Six Sigma's strategies. However, the researchers noted that sometimes changes where implemented without sufficient statistical evidence to support the change. Yet in other cases some statistical findings were over exaggerated. Therefore, they advise that care should be taken to determine the practicality of changes. This study provides the reader with enough evidence to support the use of Six Sigma in healthcare while highlighting some of the potential pitfalls of the methodology. The purpose of this study was to develop long–term solutions targeted at improving care outcomes in a high–risk Neurotrauma Intensive Care Unit (NTICU). The authors utilized Six Sigma strategies, specifically Define–Measure–Analyze–Control (DMAIC), to reduce central line use and curb central line–associated bloodstream infections (CLASBI). The driving factors for the study are increasing pressures from the Institute of Medicine and the Joint Commission to reduce hospital–associated infections. Initiatives derived from the use of Six Sigma's DMAIC process were responsible for reducing the NTICU CLASBI rate below national benchmarks. Ultimately, these initiatives resulted in a total savings of $204,092 in costs related to avoidable infections. Project outcomes were also significant for reducing the overall NTICU length of stay to 7.2 days–an additional cost savings of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. Implementing Best Procurement And Acquisition Practices In order to institutionalize best procurement and acquisition practices in an organization, I would begin by forming a cross–functional team made up of supply management personnel, finance personnel, attorneys, human resources, engineers, and other subject matter experts. As was highlighted in chapter ___ of the class text, this is the best approach for ensuring that the broadest possible range of ideas and perspectives are incorporated early into the planning process. Additionally, it ensures that a great idea conceived of by one functional area is viewed from within the restrictions and/or limitations imposed by another. As with specifications development, this process allows the team to develop a reasonable, effective, and implementable plan that works across functional areas and provides the greatest return on investment. One company that has been particularly successful in implementing best practices is Toyota. I would adopt that companies approach to implementing best practices by delegating responsibility down to the lowest level. For example, if anyone on the factory floor spots a deficiency, he or she has the authority to stop the assembly line so that the condition and its contributing factors may be examined, recorded, and analyzed. This same principle could be applied to the acquisition process. By empowering rank–and–file purchasers, contract specialists, contract administrators, and quality control personnel to approach management and provide input on ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 6. Australia And Japan Expressed Their Interest Of Signing A... Australia and Japan expressed their interest in signing a defence technology cooperation agreement after Japanese Prime Minister Abe and Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott 's meeting during Abe's visit to Australia in July (Prime Minister of Australia 2014). This is surprising for the international society as the Japanese constitution did not allow Japan to export its military technologies until the Japanese government's recent change to Article 9 (Nye 2014). Even though the agreement is not signed yet, this news had attracted many attention from around the globe. There are various kinds of explanations and analyzations on why this two states would choose to release such information at this time. The argument for this essay would be that the defence technology cooperation agreement may be one of the many policies that aims on making Japan a normal country, in response in the rising power of China and the threats from Korea, so that it can play a better role in balancing regional security. This essay will try to prove this argument by briefly introducing why Japan is not a normal country within the international society and Prime Minister Abe's recent efforts to change this situation, how a defence technology cooperation agreement between Australia and Japan can play a critical role on this matter, why Japan and Australia are considering choose to sign such agreement with each other, and the incentives for Australia to support Japan's goal of strengthening its military ...

  • 7. Corporate Strategy : My Boss For The Overall Direction On... To begin, I would review the corporate strategy provided by my boss for the overall direction on how to execute our organization's functions. I would use corporate's OGSM to develop an operations strategy concentrating on their strategies and measures as the operations and supply management's objectives and goals. The operations unit will use the corporate OGSM to determine how we can contribute to the success of the corporate strategy and plan to meet the company's needs. Based on the objectives and goals assigned, I would determine which critical measures relate the most to corporate's vision for the company. I would then evaluate our processes, their results and their impact on the company to see what processes need the greatest... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... After analyzing all of the data collected, I would develop an operations OGSM and deploy strategies and measures to the next level of the organization that would be their objectives and goals. I would ensure that any objectives set and proposed improvements to our processes were within the company's capabilities. For example: the plan must be financially feasible for the company to carry out. I would employ process strategy to meet our goals and objectives. Two of our objectives are to consolidate manufacturing facilities and to increase productivity by 20%. This can be done using process choice to structure our manufacturing processes. Since the company only makes one product, the line process could work to produce high volumes of standardized cans of soup in one plant. The line process also allows the company to meet another objective of accelerating innovation by making new products on the same line. Modifying the tomato soup line is feasible because they can make new similar soups with the same ingredients or by using tomato soup as the base for different recipes.

Building blocks of 'Power' include factors such as population, territory, wealth, political stability and competence, and military strength (armies and navies). , Military power will be used as the constituent of 'power' for this essay. There are two important categories of power within the International System. These are distinguished as Potential and Actual Power. Potential Power Based on population size and the level of wealth of a state. Population and wealth are the main components of military power.

  • 10. Edward Luttwak 's Analysis On Military Force, Military... Edward Luttwak's analysis of Roman strategy evaluates the link between military force, military power, policy, and deterrence. Luttwak describes force as the actual application of a state's military capability while power is derived from the state's perceived ability to impose force. The Romans employed a combination of force and power to achieve their policy aims regarding security. Deterrence provides security by relying on power and the threat of force to prevent an adversary from committing an unwanted act. Today, United States policy leverages the nation's perceived power, bolstered by its potential to employ force, in order to deter aggression by potential adversaries and enhance security. To begin, it is important to explore Luttwak's definitions of force and power. He describes the use of military force as a finite ability to directly apply military means in order to force an adversary's compliance. A state's ability to use force is thus limited by the size of itsmilitary capability and its ability to concentrate that capability against an enemy. More importantly, once military forces are committed to an action they are no longer available to pursue other objectives and are essentially consumed. The implication is that reliance on military force limits a state's ability to achieve its objectives to the amount of force it can employ at a given time and place. Examples of the finite nature of military force are numerous. Luttwak points to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Introduction A six–sigma project has been performed on Music Co. as the company was experiencing a high number of tickets relating to its digital release planning system that caused delays in expected release date. The delays affected customer satisfaction because if the music vendor did not release their recording on time, it would lead the customer to opt for a pirated version, which also causes company loss in sales. The company hopes the project team can use DMAIC to analyze and improve their release process in a timely fashion with fewer errors. They also hope to find out what reasons caused the delays and eliminate the root causes. The planning involves various human based processes, so the company wants to achieve as few errors as possible.

Statistical Control Charts Essay Introduction and History of Statistical Process Control Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a method of controlling the quality of a manufacturing process and is most often affiliated with control charts. However, SPC in reality is a group of tools and includes additional statistical and evaluation /measurement methods. Smith, Megahed, Jones‐Farmer and Clark defined seven basic tools of SPC including; histograms, check sheets, Pareto charts, cause–and–effect diagrams, defect concentration diagrams, scatter diagrams and of course the aforementioned control charts (2014). These tools represent the scope and overall purpose/pursuit of SPC which is; "any statistical method designed to detect changes in a process over time" (Woodall & Montgomery, 1999, p. 377). Since control charts is often the most discussed of these seven tools; it is important to note there are many different types of control charts. The main control charts include; process charts which are R–charts and s–charts, non–conforming item charts also known as p–charts and np–charts and finally average numbers of non–conformity charts or c–charts and u–charts (Woodall & Montgomery, 1999). Statistical Process Control experienced its most significant growth and expansion during the quality revolution in the 1980's (Woodall & Montgomery, 1999).

While colonialism did not always pay, in many cases it did allow a military power to promote development of and trade with a colony in ways that would benefit the mother country. Angell correctly emphasizes the importance of trade to economic prosperity, but incorrectly asserts that colonizing nations cannot influence trade patterns or reap a profit from the trade that a colony carries on. Furthermore, Angell focuses his criticism of military spending on demonstrating the pointlessness of using military force to physically invade and steal gold reserves or take over factories, or to kill off foreign "competitors" who are vital as producers and consumers in the global economy. No nation intended to use their military force for this purpose.

Since then HONGSHENG has made six other attempts to make contact for a total of seven approaches. During those approaches he provided information of intelligence value to two occasions. On the second occasion he provided personal information which will be used to support background checks. Given the current political and security climate this operation will be highly sensitive and therefore the overall assessed risk of the operation is high. Additional precautions will be taken to ensure the security of the overall operation. Until additional information on HONGSHENG is available this operation will be treated as if HONGSHENG has already been compromised. The compromise, given his desperation could mean that he is providing information to other intelligence organizations, we will not assue that we are the only organization that he has approached. Even if HONGSHENG's intent is legitimate, given that he has made seven know approaches, there is a high probability that he is under suspicion. Therefore, we will not use of existing facilities and the normal support apparatus. There will be minimal expose of our procedures and contact with our personnel will be limited. A clear understanding of HONGSHENG's value as an asset must be evaluated prior to a full investment. While HONGSHENG ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Regardless of whether individuals take up the alternatives they have, the fact that they do have valuable options is significant. For instance, regardless of the possibility that the dietary condition of individuals who are fasting and starving is the same, the way that fasting is a choice ought to be perceived. In this manner assessment must be sensitive to both genuine accomplishments and successful opportunity. 4.Evaluation of how well people are doing must seek to be as open–minded as possible. Each individual's reality is different and complicated and any evaluation should portray this complexity into consideration. This leads to the deliberate 'under–theorization' of the Capability Approach that has been the source of some criticism. A critical part of Sen's argument for the Capability Approach identifies with his critique of alternative philosophical and economics accounts. Specifically, he argues that, whatever their specific qualities, none of them give an examination of prosperity that is suitable as a general idea; they are all centered on the wrong specific things (whether utility, freedom or essential merchandise). Sen's reactions of economic utilitarianism and John Rawls' primary goods are especially vital in the development of his record and its ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 38. Risks And Risk Response Strategies Having identified the risks and grouped them according to severity, the first trade–off the manager has to make is the decision to forego managing the less severe risks and focus on those which pose the most severe threat to the project. More significant risk may include risks which require the entire redesign of the project, whereas less severe risk may include those which cause little or no material changes to the project. Since the less severe risks are likely to cause little or no material changes to the project and use less resources, it is reasonable to trade–off these risks in favour of managing the more severe risks. On the other hand, these risks will remain and continue to pose a threat to the project, therefore they should be recorded in the risk register and dealt with as secondary risks. Risk response strategies should then be implemented to deal with both the severe and less severe risks which have been previously identified and analysed (Elkington & Smallman, 2002). Hillson (2009) identifies four possible risk response strategies: avoidance; transfer; mitigation and acceptance. Risk avoidance involves completely eliminating the possibility of the risk. The simplest and most common method of avoiding the risk is removing it from the project deliverable. Another common way of avoiding risks is designing around them. Risk transfer involves giving the responsibility of the risk to someone or an organisation outside of the project. There are several ways ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 40. Military Capability During Peacetime Innovation Essay Resources, accurate innovation, political support, and privatized development are four crucial factors for enhancing military capability during peacetime innovation. Nonetheless, countries that effectively manage internal resources, and are funded through political support will often be at the forefront of military development. Moreover, accurate innovation is essential to ensure that the technology developed aligns with the required capabilities to defend the nation. Therefore, countries with political support in achieving their military vision through accurate peacetime innovation, often have the upper hand in future military strength. Political support is the primary and foremost key component in developing successful innovation. Furthermore, military innovation cannot deviate from the strategic guidance of the nation, without reconstructing the defense strategy and military vision. Nonetheless, this reconstruction can occur if the current innovation and military development is defined upon outdated technology. Therefore, peacetime innovation is an opportunity to combat deficiencies as well as capability gaps in order to maintain the competitive edge against potential enemies or threats to a nation. Most importantly, the cost of the innovation, training, and implementation must be feasible through current funding and allocation and approved by bureaucrats.
