The only company I have worked for is the United States Army so with the limited experience in anything other than military, I chose the Army as my company. The Army has vast amount of areas that need improving and choosing areas that deal with management improvements were relatively easy. Through the years, the Army has expanded and decreased its ranks based on the possible threat around the world. Because of these extreme expansions and contractions, the Army’s evaluation of personnel and getting the right leader to the right position has not always been done with the best-qualified individuals. The Army continues to strive to improve processes and procedures, but is lacking on the way they prepare leaders for selected jobs. I would like to develop a process improvement plan for the Army because the need to recognize top performers and get them to the right jobs with the right training. The Army builds, produces, and develops leaders at every level to take on a myriad of responsibilities but it is the jobs they are assigned that often are not suited for their talents.
Additionally, career development is another area that lacks the necessary focus to prepare future leaders and supervisors with the tools needed to be successful. The Army has career paths developed for a broad general guideline for secession. Many times these path are not the ones that will get you promoted or prepare you for the next position or level.
The use of knowledge management databases are often overlooked or not used. The introduction of computers into our daily lives has helped and hurt the process of getting information out to a massive audience. We have databases filled with knowledge and data and is rarely accessed. Because of rapid changes within each field and the data is so great, it would take considerable amount of time to access and locate the needed materiel. Changing the way we use data and information may be the key that unlocks improvements in personnel actions and career development.

The organization that I have chosen for my process improvement plan is an organization within the Army Reserves. I work for the Army Reserves as a Department of Defense civilian employee. I support approximately 270 personnel with their administrative needs. There is also an Army Reserve Personnel Action Center (ARPAC) that is located in my building that supports my organization along with four others. The purpose of the ARPAC is to support/improve the readiness of the units and personnel that are assigned to the units they support
The ARPAC needs an improvement plan to their hiring process. They are not as effective as they could be because they don’t have all of the employees they are authorized. The ARPAC is authorized seven employees but only have two. I think most of us know and can relate to the importance of having a full staff within an organization. The workload is distributed evenly when you have a full staff.

Your company recently reviewed the results of a penetration test.docxhyacinthshackley2629
Your company recently reviewed the results of a penetration test on your network. Several vulnerabilities were identified, and the IT security management team has recommended mitigation. The manager has asked you to construct a plan of action and milestones (POA&M) given that the following vulnerabilities and mitigations were identified:
The penetration test showed that not all systems had malware protection software in place. The mitigation was to write a malware defense process to include all employees and retest the system after the process was implemented.
The penetration test indicated that the data server that houses employee payroll records had an admin password of “admin.” The mitigation was to perform extensive hardening of the data server.
The penetration test also identified many laptop computers that employees brought to work and connected to the internal network,some of which were easily compromised. The mitigation was to write a bring your own device (BYOD) policy for all employees and train the employees how to use their devices at work.

Your company You are a new Supply Chain Analyst with the ACME.docxhyacinthshackley2629
Your company: You are a new Supply Chain Analyst with the ACME Corporation. We design specialty electronics that are components in larger finished goods such as major appliances, automobiles and industrial equipment. Manufacturing is outsourced to low-cost suppliers due to the significant labor contribution and closeness to electronic component suppliers.
Your product: ACME Corp. designs a leading-edge family of devices branded as “Voice Assistants.” These are add-on boxes that many OEMs are using as plug-and-play devices in a wide variety of Internet-of-Things products. They are also sold directly to consumers as after-market items, but only for IoT devices that were built with our proprietary data-port.
Figure 1: Product line of ACME Corp Voice Assistant IoT Add-on Boxes
Your task: Your Chief Supply Chain Officer (CSCO) is requesting a review of supplier-to-customer processes as related to recent growth in our company and increasing demand for faster responsiveness to customers. One alternative is to decentralize our inventory into regional Distribution Centers; however, our ERP system is currently limited in the data available to make some of these decisions – and the output reports are very antiquated. Starting off the process, the CSCO directed that your Analysis Team use population data to pro-rate our national sales data as a starting point. For this analysis, you are asked to focus only on the flagship product, Voice Assistant IoT Add-on Box, 4GB, SKU #123-456789. The challenge is now yours to complete some computations and interpret the results!
Your data: A detailed report from your ERP system along with secondary data from the U.S. Census Bureau (reference: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/data/data-sets.html) is provided. (Note: Sales to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are handled by a 3PL provider and therefore are NOT part of this analysis.) The consolidated EXCEL® file has incorporated several tasks already performed by the Analysis Team --- sort, cleanse, inventory optimization, etc. Other tasks remain for your team.
Detailed Requirements: Prepare a formal report summarizing your results and providing recommendations that are supported by facts. The required layout follows:
A. Supply Chain Management:
a. Identify a single key supplier and a single key customer for your product, including a brief description of their product.
b. Identify the proper type of business relationship that your company should have with the supplier and customer from Part A, above, then briefly describe the data that you would share with them.

Your company recently reviewed the results of a penetration test.docxhyacinthshackley2629
Your company recently reviewed the results of a penetration test on your network. Several vulnerabilities were identified, and the IT security management team has recommended mitigation. The manager has asked you to construct a plan of action and milestones (POA&M) given that the following vulnerabilities and mitigations were identified:
The penetration test showed that not all systems had malware protection software in place. The mitigation was to write a malware defense process to include all employees and retest the system after the process was implemented.
The penetration test indicated that the data server that houses employee payroll records had an admin password of “admin.” The mitigation was to perform extensive hardening of the data server.
The penetration test also identified many laptop computers that employees brought to work and connected to the internal network,some of which were easily compromised. The mitigation was to write a bring your own device (BYOD) policy for all employees and train the employees how to use their devices at work.

Your company You are a new Supply Chain Analyst with the ACME.docxhyacinthshackley2629
Your company: You are a new Supply Chain Analyst with the ACME Corporation. We design specialty electronics that are components in larger finished goods such as major appliances, automobiles and industrial equipment. Manufacturing is outsourced to low-cost suppliers due to the significant labor contribution and closeness to electronic component suppliers.
Your product: ACME Corp. designs a leading-edge family of devices branded as “Voice Assistants.” These are add-on boxes that many OEMs are using as plug-and-play devices in a wide variety of Internet-of-Things products. They are also sold directly to consumers as after-market items, but only for IoT devices that were built with our proprietary data-port.
Figure 1: Product line of ACME Corp Voice Assistant IoT Add-on Boxes
Your task: Your Chief Supply Chain Officer (CSCO) is requesting a review of supplier-to-customer processes as related to recent growth in our company and increasing demand for faster responsiveness to customers. One alternative is to decentralize our inventory into regional Distribution Centers; however, our ERP system is currently limited in the data available to make some of these decisions – and the output reports are very antiquated. Starting off the process, the CSCO directed that your Analysis Team use population data to pro-rate our national sales data as a starting point. For this analysis, you are asked to focus only on the flagship product, Voice Assistant IoT Add-on Box, 4GB, SKU #123-456789. The challenge is now yours to complete some computations and interpret the results!
Your data: A detailed report from your ERP system along with secondary data from the U.S. Census Bureau (reference: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/data/data-sets.html) is provided. (Note: Sales to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are handled by a 3PL provider and therefore are NOT part of this analysis.) The consolidated EXCEL® file has incorporated several tasks already performed by the Analysis Team --- sort, cleanse, inventory optimization, etc. Other tasks remain for your team.
Detailed Requirements: Prepare a formal report summarizing your results and providing recommendations that are supported by facts. The required layout follows:
A. Supply Chain Management:
a. Identify a single key supplier and a single key customer for your product, including a brief description of their product.
b. Identify the proper type of business relationship that your company should have with the supplier and customer from Part A, above, then briefly describe the data that you would share with them.
c. When implementing Supply Chain Management with your #1 key supplier for the first time, create a timeline that lists each of the six SCOR processes in the order that you recommend implementation; include process leader (by job title), primary contact at supplier/customer (by job title), and duration to implement.

COM510 ASSIGNMENT COMMUNICATION CHALLENGE TOPICS
In the world of business, we can create opportunities through strategic communication. Throughout our professional careers, there are key events that raise the stakes of our communications approach.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
1) Review the Communication Challenge Topics and their accompanying case study examples.
2) Select 1 topic that is professionally relevant for you.
3) Use for your COM510 assignments (the topic you have selected, not the case study example).
Note: If there is another challenge or current opportunity in your professional life that is more relevant for you, you may choose a topic that is not on this list. Keep in mind that the communication challenge you select must in- clude both written and verbal communication elements to meet the needs of this course. (Your professor must approve your selection before you proceed.)

Examples of each scenario are provided to demonstrate what thoughtful, professional communication would look like in each of these situations. These are only examples and should not be used for completing the assignment. You can create and establish all necessary assumptions. The scenario is yours to explain.
COMMUNICATION CHALLENGE TOPICS
Choose one of the following topics for your assignments.
• Internal Promotion Opportunity
• New Job Opportunity Interview
• Running a Meeting
• Coaching Your Direct Employees
• Pitching a Project Idea
INTERNAL PROMOTION
Seeking a promotion from within your company is one opportunity in which strategic communication could mean the difference be- tween success and failure. If you choose this scenario, you’ll need to create both a written and a verbal (audio or video) communica- tion. These elements should explain why you are the right person for the internal promotion while addressing potential questions you might need to answer as part of the process.
Things to Consider
• Have you checked the listings on your company’s job board lately?
• Is there a new position you would like to secure?
• Have you taken on more responsibility at work?
• Have your outcomes been positive?
• Do your job title and job description match what you do? .

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Unit 8 - Information and Communication Technology (Paper I).pdfThiyagu K
This slides describes the basic concepts of ICT, basics of Email, Emerging Technology and Digital Initiatives in Education. This presentations aligns with the UGC Paper I syllabus.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

101The only company I have worked for is the United States Army .docx
1. 101
The only company I have worked for is the United States Army
so with the limited experience in anything other than military, I
chose the Army as my company. The Army has vast amount of
areas that need improving and choosing areas that deal with
management improvements were relatively easy. Through the
years, the Army has expanded and decreased its ranks based on
the possible threat around the world. Because of these extreme
expansions and contractions, the Army’s evaluation of
personnel and getting the right leader to the right position has
not always been done with the best-qualified individuals. The
Army continues to strive to improve processes and procedures,
but is lacking on the way they prepare leaders for selected jobs.
I would like to develop a process improvement plan for the
Army because the need to recognize top performers and get
them to the right jobs with the right training. The Army builds,
produces, and develops leaders at every level to take on a
myriad of responsibilities but it is the jobs they are assigned
that often are not suited for their talents.
Additionally, career development is another area that
lacks the necessary focus to prepare future leaders and
supervisors with the tools needed to be successful. The Army
has career paths developed for a broad general guideline for
secession. Many times these path are not the ones that will get
you promoted or prepare you for the next position or level.
The use of knowledge management databases are often
overlooked or not used. The introduction of computers into our
daily lives has helped and hurt the process of getting
information out to a massive audience. We have databases
filled with knowledge and data and is rarely accessed. Because
of rapid changes within each field and the data is so great, it
would take considerable amount of time to access and locate the
needed materiel. Changing the way we use data and
information may be the key that unlocks improvements in
2. personnel actions and career development.

The organization that I have chosen for my process
improvement plan is an organization within the Army Reserves.
I work for the Army Reserves as a Department of Defense
civilian employee. I support approximately 270 personnel with
their administrative needs. There is also an Army Reserve
Personnel Action Center (ARPAC) that is located in my
building that supports my organization along with four others.
The purpose of the ARPAC is to support/improve the readiness
of the units and personnel that are assigned to the units they
support
The ARPAC needs an improvement plan to their hiring process.
They are not as effective as they could be because they don’t
have all of the employees they are authorized. The ARPAC is
authorized seven employees but only have two. I think most of
us know and can relate to the importance of having a full staff
within an organization. The workload is distributed evenly when
you have a full staff.
Some of the issues with not having a full staff of employees
within any organization are the employees being overworked
which can lead to more stress and the work is not completed.
With the organization in my building, the work is getting done
but at an extremely slow rate. For example, actions are sent
through e-mail correspondence and they reply when the action
is completed; the turnaround from the action requested to being
completed is approximately two to three weeks.

Why do you plan to develop What company are you planning to
use for your process improvement plan?
NuStar Energy is a petroleum company with two business
aspects, pipeline management and terminals operation. I’m a
terminal operator where we receive, store, blend and issue
petroleum products. The terminal where I work has asphalt, gas,
diesel and #6 oil. We receive the products by tankers, rail cars
3. and trucks and issue the end products to customers with
allocations for specified products such as truck drivers getting
gas and diesel for delivery to gas stations.
a process improvement plan for this company?
My collateral position is Process Safety Management
Coordinator, PSM for short, and I conduct monthly meetings
with management or operators to identify and address the
different ways we do business to see where we can make
improvements. For instance, we’ve identified safety issues to
address such as adding walkways across piping to gain safe
access to equipment. We’ve also done things like streamlining a
specific operation to eliminate redundant or unnecessary steps.
We’ve made great strides in the last 5 years and we have a lot
more improvement to make.
What are some examples of known deficient processes?
One area that needs improvement is training. There are multiple
operations that we conduct daily which require industry
knowledge as well as sight specific knowledge in order to be a
well rounded operator. This is important because we operate
with 3 or 4 people per shift doing multiple jobs at once so if
you lack knowledge in a specific operation you are limited in
your job scope. The main problems that exist right now are no
formal training program, no way to track what knowledge an
operator has and a lack of encouragement for those less
motivated to learn. Currently knowledge is passed down from
senior operators to the junior operators and not everyone get the
same training. “GOGs and SOPs remove the ambiguity from
tasks, or work performance steps, and allow staff to be trained
to a standardized level across functional areas.” (Bryant, R.J.,
2013). We have SOP’s and they’re beneficial but not all
variables of operation are captured in them A detailed training
program could correct these problems.

11. The manager of the local National Video Store sells
videocassette recorders at discount prices. If
the store does not have a video recorder in stock when a
customer wants to buy one, it will lose the
sale because the customer will purchase a recorder from one of
the many local competitors. The
problem is that the cost of renting warehouse space to keep
enough recorders in inventory to meet
all demand is excessively high. The manager has determined
that if 85% of customer demand for
recorders can be met, then the combined cost of lost sales and
inventory will be minimized. The
manager has estimated that monthly demand for recorders is
normally distributed, with a mean of
175 recorders and a standard deviation of 55. Determine the
number of recorders the manager
should order each month to meet 85% of customer demand.
