Signature Assignment This signature assignment is designed to align
with specific program student learning outcome(s) in your program.
Program Student Learning Outcomes are broad statements that describe
what students should know and be able to do upon completion of their
degree. The signature assignments may be graded with an automated
rubric that allows the University to collect data that can be aggregated
across a location or college/school and used for program improvements.
Purpose of Assignment The purpose of this assignment is for students to
demonstrate mastery of operations management concepts and tools.
Assignment Steps Develop a 700- to 1,050-word memo to a prospective
employer outlining your credentials, including: taking this class, all of
the projects you have done for this class individually and with your
team, and their impact on the businesses you have engaged with so a
senior manager reading it would want to hire you as either an operations
consultant or permanent employee. Summarize the business case for
each project. Outline what you specifically accomplished, assuming
these projects were implemented, and their estimated impacts on the
business. Utilize the learnings from Week 6 to highlight your skills in
global sourcing, procurement, and outsourcing which can also be of
benefit to your target firm. Format your assignment as if you would be
giving a presentation to senior management

Sigma Yellow Belt Training Executing DMAIC Six Sigma quality
improvement (analyze, improve, and control) projects. Assignment
Steps Resources: Microsoft® PowerPoint® Use the same business your
team chose and has been observing and collecting data for the Week 3
Learning Team Assignment. Execute the analyze phase of the Six Sigma
DMAIC project including the following: • Determine the most likely
causes of defects. • Understand why defects are generated by identifying
the key variables most likely to create process variation. • Identify
necessary/unnecessary process steps. Execute the improve phase of the
Six Sigma DMAIC project including the following: • Identify means to
remove the causes of defects. • Confirm the key variables and quantify
their effects on the critical-to-quality characteristics (CTQs). • Identify
the maximum acceptance ranges of the key variables and a system for
measuring deviations of the variables. • Modify the process to stay
within an acceptable range. Execute the control phase of the Six Sigma
DMAIC project including the following: • Determine how to maintain
the improvements. • Determine how to monitor and control
improvements. • Put tools in place to ensure that the key variables
remain within the maximum acceptance ranges under the modified
process. Utilize all analytical tools available for Six Sigma as permitted

OPS 571 Week 5 Forecasting Assignment (New Syllabus)

learn how to apply Operations Forecasting. Assignment Steps
Resources: Microsoft® Excel® (Template provided) Select a business
operations dataset from the internet, which can be used for forecasting
what the results may be at a future state (monthly [for two years],
quarterly [for five years], annually [for 20 years]. (See example in the

you will require, and what the results columns reveal. You are required
to provide an APA formatted reference to the location of the source data
(Do Not just enter the Web Link). The returned work from previous
week's work, should give you some insight as to what an APA reference
should look like. Develop a run over a given period, upper limit and
lower limit as to confidence in the forecast using Microsoft®
Excel®.Template • Compare and contrast each quadrant of the
forecast. • Evaluate the impact this forecast would have on the firm
from a financial metrics standpoint, by writing a 300-word report in
which you describe your forecasting project and what it means in terms
of favorable or unfavorable forecast and why or why not.. Format your
