Week 1
BJB Manufacturing Company quality management initiative this week. The presentation of the project is in Week Four. In Week Five, Part IV—the Metrics Report—is due. Completing a rough draft of each part of the final project during its assigned week is strongly suggested.
Part I of the Learning Team assignment focuses on preparing a total quality approach for BJB Manufacturing Company.
JB Manufacturing Company produces high-end compact disc (CD) changers for the automobile aftermarket, which at this time has no quality program. The president of BJB wants his company to become the premier producer of high-end CD changers for the new car and aftermarket segments of the overall market. It is important to note that BJB is attempting to penetrate a new market segment in doing this. The leadership of BJB must ascertain the precise quality requirements of all new car manufacturers. The chairman of the strategic planning committee has designated five members of the committee to serve as a task force for submission of recommendations to revise the Strategic Plan. BJB must also insure that all vendors/suppliers are cognizant of the quality standards of BJB and the new car manufacturers.
For this course, your Learning Team represents the newly formed task force and is required to complete a series of assignments related to developing a total quality management program for the BJB chairman of the Strategic Planning Committee. Your final project consists of a 2800-to 3,650-word BJB Total Quality Management Program due in Week Five. Here is a list of components contained in your BJB Quality Management Program proposal:
· Week 2, Part I: BJB Manufacturing Company Quality Management Initiative Proposal
· Week 3, Part II: BJB Manufacturing Company Quality Management Theory
· Week 4, Part III: BJB Manufacturing Company Quality Management Implementation Strategy
· Week 5, Part IV: BJB Manufacturing Company Quality Management Supplier Alliance Metrics Report & final submission of full TQM Program
Week 2
Begin to prepare a total quality management program proposal for BJB Manufacturing Company by writing an introduction to your proposal and developing your approach. Recall your final word count of 2800-3650 words, so this week work within 700-to 1,050-words. After the introduction, address the following when developing your approach:
· Determine what needs the stakeholders may have for BJB’s products. Who are the various 'customer's' and how do their needs differ?
· Analyze the product and needs of BJB, and then select the quality management approach that would be the best fit. Explain your rational ...

Abstract
For Module 3, consider the organization's mission and strategy from the perspective of its internal business processes (from your work on the case, your previous course work, and your background reading, you should be reasonably clear what such business processes are). In this section of the assignment you’ll begin to identify objectives and measures relevant to that perspective. Refer back to Objectives, Measures, Targets & Action Plans if you need to.
Once you’re reasonably clear on what’s involved, think about your organization and its business processes, and then:
Identify at least three objectives for improving the organization's internal business processes, and show how they relate to the mission, vision, and strategy of the organization.
• For each objective, develop at least one meaningful performance measure (metric).
• For each objective, identify at least one expected level of performance (target).
• For each objective, identify at least one new action or program that needs to be developed to ensure successful implementation of the organization's strategy (initiative).
• Comment briefly on the relationships of the process objectives that you've identified here to the finance objectives that you identified in the Module 1 SLP assignment and/or the customer service objectives that you identified in the Module 2 SLP assignment. How do they help to fulfill those objectives? If they don't (and they don't have to), what makes them more important than objectives that would relate to finance or customer service?
• Finally, do you wish to make any changes to your Module 1 or Module 2 objective write-ups in light of your Module 3 experience?

Analyze and interpret the following quotation The confrontation of.docxikirkton
Analyze and interpret the following quotation: “The confrontation of Western civilization with other peoples whose values were often dramatically opposed to the West’s…suggests that by the dawn of the twentieth century, the tradition and sense of centeredness that had defined indigenous cultures for hundreds, even thousands, of years was either threatened or in the process of being destroyed. Worldwide, non-Western cultures suddenly found that they were defined as outposts of new colonial empires developed by Europeans, resulting in the weakening of traditional cultural practices, political leadership, and social systems that had been in place for centuries.” (Sayre, 2013, pp. 410-411).
In the later nineteenth and early twentieth century, what would this “loss of centeredness” of culture have meant for a given cultural group? Select from among the non-Western cultural groups noted in the text (Native American, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, or African) and research the impact of Western or European cultures on that group.
What was the selected non-Western culture like prior to the late nineteenth century? How did it change as a result of European expansion? How is this change representative of what Sayre calls a “loss of centeredness?” Be sure to use specific examples and details.
Submit your findings in a 4-page essay in APA format.

Analyze and prepare a critique of the following situationMary h.docxikirkton
Analyze and prepare a critique of the following situation:
Mary has worked for Bob for two years. About 6 months ago, Bob asked Mary out to dinner. They had a good time together and agreed that they had some real interests in common outside of work. The pair dated for two months. Mary initially liked Bob, but he was beginning to get annoying. He called her all the time, was very pushy about her seeing him, and wanted to control all aspects of her life; both at work and at home. Mary decided to call it off. When she told Bob that she did not want to see him personally anymore, he went crazy on her. He told her she would be sorry and that he would see to it that she regretted it. Bob began to make life miserable for Mary at work. She suddenly started to get poor performance evaluations after two years of exemplary reviews. Even the managers above Bob were beginning to make comments about her poor attitude. Mary decided it was time to act. She was worried she would be fired, all because Bob wanted her to continue to date him. She loved her job and knew she did quality work. She made an appointment with the HR manager.
Using the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1991, discuss the type of sexual harassment Mary thinks she is experiencing. What are the obligations of the HR manager once Mary reports this? Discuss the likelihood that Bob would be found guilty of sexually harassing Mary. If the HR manager investigates and finds Mary is telling the truth, what should s/he do to handle the situation so that the company is not found complicit by the EEOC if further complaint is made? If found in Mary's favor, what options does the HR manager have to remedy the situation?

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Week 1
BJB Manufacturing Company quality management initiative this
week. The presentation of the project is in Week Four. In Week
Five, Part IV—the Metrics Report—is due. Completing a rough
draft of each part of the final project during its assigned week is
strongly suggested.
Part I of the Learning Team assignment focuses on preparing a
total quality approach for BJB Manufacturing Company.
JB Manufacturing Company produces high-end compact disc
(CD) changers for the automobile aftermarket, which at this
time has no quality program. The president of BJB wants his
company to become the premier producer of high-end CD
changers for the new car and aftermarket segments of the
overall market. It is important to note that BJB is attempting to
penetrate a new market segment in doing this. The leadership of
BJB must ascertain the precise quality requirements of all new
car manufacturers. The chairman of the strategic planning
committee has designated five members of the committee to
serve as a task force for submission of recommendations to
revise the Strategic Plan. BJB must also insure that all
vendors/suppliers are cognizant of the quality standards of BJB
2. and the new car manufacturers.
For this course, your Learning Team represents the newly
formed task force and is required to complete a series of
assignments related to developing a total quality management
program for the BJB chairman of the Strategic Planning
Committee. Your final project consists of a 2800-to 3,650-word
BJB Total Quality Management Program due in Week Five.
Here is a list of components contained in your BJB Quality
Management Program proposal:
· Week 2, Part I: BJB Manufacturing Company Quality
Management Initiative Proposal
· Week 3, Part II: BJB Manufacturing Company Quality
Management Theory
· Week 4, Part III: BJB Manufacturing Company Quality
Management Implementation Strategy
· Week 5, Part IV: BJB Manufacturing Company Quality
Management Supplier Alliance Metrics Report & final
submission of full TQM Program
Week 2
Begin to prepare a total quality management program proposal
for BJB Manufacturing Company by writing an introduction to
your proposal and developing your approach. Recall your final
word count of 2800-3650 words, so this week work within 700-
to 1,050-words. After the introduction, address the following
when developing your approach:
· Determine what needs the stakeholders may have for BJB’s
products. Who are the various 'customer's' and how do their
needs differ?
· Analyze the product and needs of BJB, and then select the
quality management approach that would be the best fit. Explain
your rationale.
Week 3
Continue building your proposal by incorporating your
instructor's feedback from the Quality Initiative Proposal, and
3. adding 700 to 1,050 words that includes the following:
· Select one of the theories that you feel would be the best fit
for BJB and give your reason why.
· Address how process-driven and customer-driven quality
requirements apply (or why they do not) to BJB and how you
suggest they proceed with their application.
Week 4
Continue building your proposal for BJB’s Strategic Planning
Committee by adding 1,050-to 1,750-words outlining the
strategies for addressing quality management issues and
determining an effective means of deploying the quality
management initiative. Be sure to give leadership an idea of
what their role is, what they will be doing to add to the success
of the program.
Analyze factors that should be considered when measuring the
results of quality initiatives. Add to your proposal what the
'wins' should be in each of the following areas (listed below) if
the organization should accept your proposal for a Quality
Mangement Program. What improvements would they see in the
following areas and why?
· Reduction of the number of product failures
· Material and labor costs due to gains in operational
efficiencies
· Profitability
· Customer complaints management
· Environmental regulations compliance
· Reduction of the number of damage claims and service
reliability in the supply chain
· Levels of inventory
· Inventory damage and shrinkage management
· Communications, cooperation, and coordination between all
departments within the company improvement
Week 5
Prepare a report in which you determine supplier alliance
4. requirements and appropriate metrics for BJB to measure the
performance effectiveness of their suppliers. What
recommendations would you present to BJB’s Strategic
Planning Committee to integrate the supplier alliance and
metrics?
Note: This can be in chart form or written. If written, use no
more than 500 words.
Address the following:
· Determine KPIs for forming supplier alliances as well as how
BJB would evaluate supplier qualifications and performance.
· Compile Parts I-IV of the BJB Total Quality Management
Program proposal together and submit it to your facilitator.
Make sure your final submission is between 2800-3650 words.
Below is what has been done which is incorrect and comments
from instructor.
Week 2[Title Here, up to 12 Words, on One to Two Lines]
If any organization is to secure true long term viability and
profitability, it must implement a successful total quality
management system. As we begin to analyze the variables
necessary for total quality management, we must focus our
efforts. The team must look at what the needs are for the
various stakeholders. The needs of each stakeholder will help
define the responsibility the organization has to each, especially
the consumer, as demand for all products will originate here.
The team will have to choose one quality management system
that meets most of their requirements. For operational stability
and effective maintenance of the supply chain, we will explore
the product, the changes the organization must make in order to
improve product quality, and recommend the best approach to
5. successfully complete all objectives. The last step involves the
team gaining leadership support. If the team and leadership at
BJB follow the new process, success will occur.
When defining stakeholders, the term “stakeholder” signifies
that any being with an interest within a business and or someone
who will contribute to the organizations development and
accomplishment or in which who benefits from its success
(Hill, 2015). Stakeholders within an organization are either
internal, external, and or connected stakeholders. BJB’s
Manufacturing Company internal stakeholders are the Chairman,
superiors, investors, and personnel. The number one focus of
the internal stakeholders within the BJB’s Manufacturing
Company is on quality super vision. The business necessities
consist of a strategic plan aimed at producing a high-end
compact disc (CD) changers for the automobile aftermarket.
This is intended for new cars that will present an innovative
market division while the stakeholders’ needs are met. The
chairman, superiors, and personnel have a few stakes within the
company due to job security, competitive earnings, and
advancements. The stakeholders that remain external consist of
governmental, residential communities, local associations, and
special interest groups. These stakeholders are indirectly
connected towards the organization, however who can remain
swayed or inspire actions of the company through countless
resources. With that said, the needs of the external stakeholders
are a company that complies with city and state regulations, has
a good reputation for being eco-friendly and sustainable. As for
the connected stakeholders, these are entities in which put in or
have relations with the firm and includes groups like suppliers
and or vendors, investors, and consumers. The needs of the
shareholders are by receiving a profit in return on their share
within the BJB’s Manufacturing Company. The suppliers and or
vendors needs are by distributing the firm with company
contracts, quality products, on time disbursements. The
objective of overall management excellence is meeting the
customers’ expectations. The customer’s needs are by
6. purchasing a product that has a sensible rate with outstanding
quality.
In order to understand the needs of the organization, we must
assess the organization's current realities. Analyzing and
understanding the organization’s financial history, current
relationships with external vendors, and future forecasts will
help our team understand operational setbacks. In mapping out
business processes from manufacturing to inventory control, we
will gain a greater understanding of team cohesion, management
structure, and management effectiveness. Through all
assessments, we will focus on the eight elements of total quality
management: Ethics, integrity, teamwork, training, trust,
leadership, recognition and communication (Padhi, 2015). The
methodology and system we recommend BJB manufacturing
adopt is best represented through Deming's 14 point system.
The 14-point quality management approach consists of:
· Create constancy of purpose for improvement of product and
service
· Drive out fear
· Adopt the new philosophy
· Break down barriers between staff areas
· Cease dependence on mass inspections
· Eliminate slogans, exhortations, and targets for the workforce
· End the practice of awarding business on the basis of price
tags alone
· Eliminate numerical quotas
· Improve constantly and forever the system of production and
service
· Remove barriers that rob people of pride of workmanship14
· Institute training
· Encourage education and self-improvement for everyone
· Adopt and institute leadership
· Take action to accomplish the transformation
The success of Deming’s system can be found by examining the
7. past of other organizations that implemented the same strategy
to warrant quality management. Examples are the Japanese
automaker Toyota and Sony. While applying these principles,
the cost effectiveness and quality support is possible because of
this approach. These 14 points for quality management are
standardized to use for superior quality and profitability (Mind
Tools, 2012).
In closing, we are appreciative of the opportunity to help
increase the profitability of BJB Manufacturing. Through
effective process evaluation, and through our genuine concern
to empower and supports the productivity of your employees,
we will determine the needs of your stakeholders, the needs of
your organization, and we will propose various improvements
through the coming weeks to help BJB realize management's
vision to become the premier producer of high end CD
changers.

Running head: PART II: BJB MANUFACTURING COMPANY
QUALITY

PART II: BJB MANUFACTURING COMPANY QUALITY

Part II: BJB Manufacturing Company Quality Management
Theory
In order for BJB to continue to grow in the audio industry, our
team will focus on a theory that applies, analyzes, and helps
quantify the most appropriate philosophies and guidelines from
your industry, in order to effectively understand how customer
driven and process driven quality requirements apply. These
factors will ultimately help our team suggest how your
organization should proceed with the new venture, with respect
to process, to ensure the customer with the best in product
quality, compliance, and consumer expectation.
The quality management theory we recommend for BJB
Manufacturing Company is that of quality theorist Phillip
Crosby. His 14 steps are the best fit for this venture as they
define quality through quantifiable defect levels, a sustainable
and logical approach for radio manufacturing. The guidelines
are as follows:
· 1. Commitment of Management
9. · 2. Formulate the Quality Improvement Team
· 3. Measure for Quality in Current Practices
· 4. What Will the Cost of Quality Be?
· 5. Quality Awareness is Central to Success
· 6. Remember the Quality Problems? Take Corrective Action
· 7. Plan for Zero Defects
· 8. Practice Effective Training for Supervisors
· 9. Happy Zero Defects Day!
· 10. Involve Everyone in Goal Setting
· 11. Eliminate Causes of Errors
· 12. Implement Recognition for Participants
· 13. Create Quality Councils
· 14. Lather...Rinse...REPEAT!!!
These 14 steps/guidelines will teach BJB Manufacturing that
quality starts with the prevention of product defects and
production inconsistencies, and that all financial investments
into quality will always stand as profitable and sound ventures.
Through these steps, your management team will learn to define
possible quality issues while estimating the cost of quality and
clarify its usage as a managing aid. We recommend your
management team form a zero-defects program, in order to help
empower the employee, through training, to embrace the new
philosophies. This strategic plan will serve as motivation and
encouragement to all individuals. Finally, we recommend BJB
Manufacturing acknowledge those who contribute and sustain
quality through an appreciation program to engrave into the
culture of the organization that “Quality Is Free”.
Customer driven quality is a proactive way to meet a customer’s
needs, (Foster, 2007). It will help your management team
maintain the proper focus with regard to quality issues, and also
of expectations for future variances. This data can then be used
by management for investment in future products. BJB should
immediately implement a customer feedback initiative, whether
in the form of active data or passive data gathering. Active data
10. would allow BJB to have small focus groups and to get honest
feedback, (Experience
Solution
s, 2015). This would enable BJB to improve upon the products
they are already have on market, whether that has to do with
quality or not, in order to attempt at an annuity relationship
with their customers.
Crosby’s theory reworks goals, skills, and training of employees
to improve the quality of a product. By centering on the
process-driven approach, BJB will need to study, gather
information for the improvement of their product and reduction
on staff, which is included in the process. Consultation with
staff would be necessary to understand what the needs are
within BJB. Forming new training programs to enhance the
level of skill and expand their knowledge in the audio industry.
The process-driven approach would be a useful way for the
Business to urge its employees to convey and improve their
talents. Employees can experience an overwhelming weight
when new goods are introduced with a Plan for Zero Defects. It
is important that employees feel acknowledged for their inputs
by the organizations. Motivation is crucial to help employees
meet the targets and expectations that would be expected.
Customer driven quality requirements dictate the direction and
11. product focus BJB Manufacturing should maintain. The
aftermarket entertainment system is dominated by the
complexity and technological impressiveness of the products
offered, along with the top quality service packages available
for those products. All consumers, regardless of class, demand
those products whose technological advantages create new
values for the consumer. Consumer demand for the new venture
will likely be guided by the increase or decrease of spendable
income realized by our targeted demographic, and through the
effectiveness of our internal and external marketing tactics and
programs.
Process driven requirements for the new venture in high-end CD
changers will require quality control to change from a final
process to an integrated individual process, where each
employee is responsible for their quality control. In doing this,
management helps inspire employee growth through increased
ownership of operation, and through an increased sense of
responsibility by one employee for the other. Global leaders
such as GE and Ford have employed these processes to much
success and profitability, and have learned to supplement these
strategies with tools such as Six Sigma and JIT. Other
important variables such as training, effective hiring practices,
and clearly detailed procedures with flow charts, will help the
manufacturing line bring consistency to the forefront of the
operation. The luxury market will demand the highest level of
12. quality commitment, as room for error through consumer
understanding will be greatly limited.
Guiding our efforts to implement these new changes to QC and
QM practices will be the quality management system globally
recognized as the standard for the automotive industry: ISO/TS
16949 (bsi, 2015). These standards help comprise current best
practices from automakers across the globe including National
Automobile trade organizations. For your new venture, we
suggest the use of ISO 9001 principles, the basis for ISO/TS
16949 and for various manufacturing operations across the
globe, across various industries (bsi, 2015). This suggestion
comes from the fact that although your industry depends on the
automobile industry, it is firmly rooted in technology, an
industry prime for ISO 9001 methodology.

Week 2 comment from instructor.
Team B, Please realize the 5 points are for turning something
in. It is not a verification of the quality of what you submitted.
Quality of submission is done in week 5. In the attached
feedback you will see that next week you will need to: 1)
Revise the intro for a 'proposal' (Objective and goal) 2) Revise
the specific needs of the stakeholders (customer and vendor at
minimum) 3) Swap QM Approach (wk2) for theorist (wk3) 4) do
not use a conclusion until the last week, conclusion should be a
call to action for the proposal. Details are in the attached. Great
start Team B!!!
14. Team B,
Develop a proposal for the Strategic Planning Committee for a
quality management approach for BJB.
Please understand that BJB is already a successful company.
Because they are going into a new market, and their customer is
changing with this new market, they want to better understand
the needs of this new customer and see if a QM approach is
needed. Their current product has QC and QA in place, but this
new customer has the President questioning if they also need
QM.
Please see the CWE for Business Proposal format.
https://ecampus.phoenix.edu/secure/aapd/grammar/wizard/BP03.
asp
It is not a suggested format, but you can glean some suggestions
from the ‘proposal format’. At a minimum, your proposal
should list an objective, goals and the proposed actions. These
are critical elements of any ‘proposal’.
You are a task force for the strategic planning committee and
your audience is the chairman (for your weekly check points-
which is the role I am playing), and then ultimately the
15. President who requested this (not due until week 5). You do not
need to waste words on background, telling leaders what ‘the
team’ needs to do. You do need to propose to them what needs
to happen to address a QM program.
Spend some time formulating the proposal objective and goals.
The less words the better—an exercise in being succinct.
The objective and goals level sets all readers. They will clearly
understand why they are reading your proposal. I suggest you
tweak your intro to be clear and focused on the objective of the
proposal. This makes it slightly different than an introduction to
an academic paper.
This week, the following points should also be included:
· Determine what needs the stakeholders may have for BJB’s
products.
Assume that the leaders of this organization know the concepts,
therefore they are looking at your team for the specifics. This is
an application of the material, not a review of concepts. Leaders
of BJB know what stakeholders are….they need to know what is
changing and what they need to be aware of when they enter
this new market. You should list the stakeholders that have
16. ‘changed needs’ out and discuss each of their needs. Not in
general, as that was the focus of your individual assignment.
Here you need to cover this in context of the proposal. So you
need to address those stakeholders that are changing, mainly
customer and vendor, more if you choose. Why is this important
for the strategic planning committee to know? Well the needs of
the stakeholders are changing if they change their strategic
plan. How, that is for you to point out. This is a new customer
for them—how will this new customer’s needs be different from
their current? These are the specifics they want to hear from
you. What changes may come with the vendor? Your previous
customer did not have requirements here. What requirements do
auto manufacturers require from their vendors? You cannot
enter this market if you do not meet these. Your current vendors
have never had to be judged on quality specs. Now they will be
and that needs to be communicated, they need to be evaluated,
new ones found if current can not meet requirements. That is
the context of covering this section. Please understand that the
leadership understand concepts, since you were asked to deliver
a proposal, they are asking for specific considerations to be
shown. This bullet needs to be rewritten with this in mind.
· Analyze the product and needs of BJB, and then select the
quality management approach that would be the best fit. Explain
17. your rationale.
Deming is a fine choice, but isn’t he a theorist? You can re-
purpose this for next week as it asks for a theorist to follow.
Your rationale is solid, Deming has worked with a number of
auto manufacturers, so adopting this theorist will align with
your customer. “Analyzing and understanding the organization’s
financial history, current relationships with external vendors,
and future forecasts will help our team understand operational
setbacks.” This shows me good team research, but do not over
complicate this assignment. It’s focus in a QM Program
Proposal, that is all. You are not expected to make
recommendations based on financial history or forecasts etc.
Keep the focus on the proposal and what QM can do for them.
Make recommendations based within this context.
Now for a QM approach, what is the best choice for a quality
program that will enable them to address this new market of
auto manufacturers? How does the quality requirements of the
auto manufacturers differ from that of the aftermarket? What
are the requirements of auto manufacturers? What proof do you
have? You may as well choose a program they use so you are
talking the same language. Find out what auto manufacturers
use for their vendors, what do they use themselves? You do not
have to use their exact approach, but the approaches should
18. align. This is due next week.
No conclusion is needed, except in the final week. In the final
week the conclusion should be proper for a proposal. So the
conclusion should be a call to action, a call to accept your
proposal…because you have laid out what needs to be done,
why (what is in it for them, why do they need to do the extra
effort) and how.
In this role play, think about presenting and discussing this
paper with the chairman of the Strategic Planning Committee.
What was the objective of writing this proposal for him? What
goals were you trying to accomplish? What do you need
leadership to understand about the role they will need to play if
they choose to move forward?
As previously posted, I suggest you not divide and conquer
specific sections. This is a sure way to have an assignment that
is created in silos with little connection between sections.
Remember, this request came from the President, you are
assisting the Chairman of Strategic Planning in preparing the
company for a QM program. That is the main focus of the
assignment, do not focus solely on the bullets that are meant ‘to
19. be included’ in the overall assignment as these are minor
focuses. Keep the main focus in mind as you develop out the
proposal while delivering on the bullets of the assignment.
Mechanics: Excellent.
700-to 1,050-words – OK
Please ask any questions by having a team member post an
individual post and I will answer in your team forum.
Week 3 comment from instructor.
Team B, Please be sure you are reading the feedback each week.
You are to incorporate feedback as well as add to the proposal
each week. You had significant feedback last week in an
attachment and this list: "1) Revise the intro for a 'proposal'
(Objective and goal) 2) Revise the specific needs of the
stakeholders (customer and vendor at minimum) 3) Swap QM
Approach (wk2) for theorist (wk3) 4) do not use a conclusion
until the last week, conclusion should be a call to action for the
20. proposal. Details are in the attached." Since you covered the
theorist last week, you were to add an approach this week. Next
week you need to incorporate feedback from week 2 and now
week 3. With 2 theorists you will need to choose one, and you
still have your approach to write which was not done in week 2.
I suggest you go back to the first week and re-read all that has
to do with this assignment. Please let me know what questions
you have. Quite a bit of work needs to be done to make this a
proposal that will be delivered to the President in 2 weeks. The
majority of the points are in week 5 and you have significant re-
writes to do from these first 2 weeks. WE CHOOSE CROSBY!
Week 4 comment from instructor.
Jim,
This is a good write up but does not meet the assignment
requirements. First, you are using allot of word count on the
minor bullets which I have said 'not to do' in numerous posts.
This week's focus was to add words to "outline the strategies for
addressing quality management issues and determining an
effective means of deploying the quality management
initiative". In doing that main focus you were to "Analyze
factors that should be considered when measuring the results of
quality initiatives" and it is through this analysis that the
"bullets" came in. In my class announcement I cautioned the
21. team on dividing the bullets and focusing on them, which is
what your team continues to do.
Jim, you also write these paragraphs as if the company is doing
them. I.e. "to ensure quality". But this is a proposal. The
President wants to sell to auto manufacturers and asked your
team to propose a QM Program. So you are to propose what that
would mean to them. So as you address the bullets, you would
say that if they chose to do a QM program, they would see
changes in the following areas (that is where the bullets come
in)....
So hopefully now you see that the bullets are minor outcomes of
a QM program, and this week's main focus is to outline the
strategies for addressing quality management issues and
determining an effective means of deploying the quality
management initiative. So the 'win' for the strategy and
implementation is seeing those items that are bulleted changing
in a positive way. Does this make sense as the minor focus
now?
I highly suggest your team go back and reread week 2 under
tasks to see what this assignment is. Then go and read all
assignments and create an outline to get there. This was to be
done in week 1 or 2, but I am betting you have not done so. If
22. you do you will see the full of this assignment, which is a
Proposal on a QM Program that is due in week 5. You need to
go back to the beginning and rewrite it as a proposal. A
proposal starts with an objective. A purpose to what and why
you are proposing. This is what each week's work needs to tie
to.
Here is what I said in a class announcement:
If you are dividing by bullets and word count your approach to
this team project is not going to give you success. The main
focus is to build a QM Program Proposal that is to go to the
President of the company. Please go back to week 2 assignment
under Tasks for this view. I suggested an outline so you would
follow the outline as a road map to get you to the final product,
but still some are focusing on bullets. Please see below next
week you are to incorporate feedback from week 2 and 3 and
your main focus for this week's addition is as follows in blue
highlights. The minor things to incorporate are in yellow.
Continue building your proposal for BJB's Strategic Planning
Committee by adding 1,050-to 1,750-words outlining the
strategies for addressing quality management issues and
determining an effective means of deploying the quality
23. management initiative. Be sure to give leadership an idea of
what their role is, what they will be doing to add to the success
of the program.
Analyze factors that should be considered when measuring the
results of quality initiatives.(Note: these are the bullets below,
these are meant to be 'analyzed' Analyzed is defined as
"examine methodically and in detail the constitution or structure
of (something, especially information), typically for purposes of
explanation and interpretation"). Add to your proposal what
the 'wins' should be in each of the following areas (listed
below) if the organization should accept your proposal for a
Quality Management Program. What improvements would they
see in the following areas and why?
One way to display the 'bullets' is to organize in a chart. An
example is below, but use your own creativity here.
Metric Factors to consider Theory Leaders Role
Accomplishment or Goal
Product -no baseline/history SPC -set
goal reduction (trend down)
24. Failure -no goal set -get goal
from
Rate - what makes customer
(ask
Measurement? auto makers)
(suggest Rejects
Divided by total
Passed Per shift)
Can you see how simply focusing on the bullets you are not on a
road map to deliver a QM Program proposal?
Tasks this week include:
Week 2 edits- this may be 1-2 people depending on your
rewrites
Week 3 edits - same as above
Week 4- strategy and deployment (tell leaders what they need to
do & why)
Week 4- Factors when measuring results (in context of bullets,
what is the win for BJB to use QM, how will the bullets be
affected)- possibly use chart for analysis and make conclusion.
This will leave word count to address strategy and deployment.
25. So you have 4 main areas to address and 6 people on the team.
That gives you an opportunity to add 2 to one of the 4 main
areas or even 2 areas. But be sure you have someone who is
managing the outline so the entire proposal reads in a connected
way. You are weaving a proposal together that will come to a
conclusion where in week 5 you end with a call for action on
what you are proposing. Your intro is only at the beginning of
the proposal and is in the form or an objective for the entire
proposal. There are not weekly intros. Your conclusion is in the
form of a call for action and is done in week 5.
I really don't know how else to give direction here, so if there is
still confusion please ask or call.....but your team is missing on
this assignment, and if it is not corrected this week you will not
be submitting what is required in week 5.
Below is more comments from instructor.
BJB Manufacturing Company (Learning Team Instructions)
BJB Manufacturing Company produces high-end compact disc
(CD) changers for the automobile aftermarket, whichat this time
has no quality program. The president of BJB wants his
company to become the premier producer of high-end CD
changers for the new car and aftermarket segments of the
overall market. It is important to note that BJB is attempting to
penetrate a new market segment in doing this. The leadership of
26. BJB must ascertain the precise quality requirements of all new
car manufacturers. The chairman of the strategic planning
committee has designated five members of the committee to
serve as a task force for submission of recommendations to
revise the Strategic Plan. BJB must also insure that all
vendors/suppliers are cognizant of the quality standards of BJB
and the new car manufacturers.
For this course, your Learning Team represents the newly
formed task force and is required to complete a series of
assignments related to developing a total quality management
program for the BJB chairman of the Strategic Planning
Committee. Your final project consists of a 2800-to 3,650-word
BJB Total Quality Management Program due in Week Five.
Here is a list of components contained in your BJB Quality
Management Program proposal:
· Week 2, Part I: BJB Manufacturing Company Quality
Management Initiative Proposal
· Week 3, Part II: BJB Manufacturing Company Quality
Management Theory
· Week 4, Part III: BJB Manufacturing Company Quality
Management Implementation Strategy
· Week 5, Part IV: BJB Manufacturing Company Quality
Management Supplier Alliance Metrics Report & final
submission of full TQM Program
It is highly suggested you create an outline for the full Program
27. proposal in week 1 or 2. This will guide you through this
process. Points are weighted heavier in week 5 so you can
incorporate feedback as you go. Come back to this page weekly
so you keep this main focus in mind as you do the weekly
work.
Please note that the green highlights are the main sections of
the proposal. These are the main focus of your weekly writing.
You may use charts, check lists etc. to explain your proposal as
well.
Your final product must read as a proposal to BJB for a QM
Program. You need to prove why BJB needs a QM Program and
how to strategically go about it, what they need to do to
implement it and what the wins will be for the company if they
do so.
