Imagine you’re a test manager starting a new assignment. On the first day of work, you’re presented with a list of metrics you are to report. Soon, you realize that most of the metrics are not really connected to what should be measured. Or, consider the situation where you’re told that there is no value collecting metrics because “we’re agile.” In either situation, what would be your next step be? Join Pablo Garcia as he shares his experience with the dangers of poor metrics. Believing that some metrics can have value in helping testing be effective and efficient, Pablo shares his favorite metrics including a couple of crazy ones―requirements coverage, defect detection percentage, faults in production, and cost per bug. Each is discussed, evaluating what it really measures, when to use it, and how to present it to send the correct message. Take back a toolbox of testing metrics that will make your testing role easier.

Your first task is to find a public budget to analyze. It is suggest.docxwoodruffeloisa
Your first task is to find a public budget to analyze. It is suggested you focus on a city/county department, a small municipality/township, a school district, a special district (such as a forest preserve district, stadium district, or water district), a community college, a small public university, or a single state agency.
Be sure not to choose a budget that is too large to analyze in one written exercise. Most budgets are readily available on the institution’s website or by contacting the budgeting/finance department. Many local libraries will also have these documents.
In your analysis, you should address the following items/questions:
Offer a brief overview of your chosen agency. What are its primary functions and roles in the community?
What are the primary expenditures for your chosen agency?
How do these expenditures determine public policy priorities?
Has the agency’s budget increased or decreased since last year? What does this indicate about the success of the agency and its ability to deliver services?
Is the agency allocating resources wisely?
What recommendations would you offer, in terms of resource allocation, for the agency in the future?
The entire budgetary analysis should be 8 to 10 pages in length and should be submitted in Unit VIII. The Final Project
must incorporate no fewer than five (5) peer-reviewed journal articles to bolster your analysis of the budget. You should be able to apply the theories learned in class to your case. The project must conform to APA format, and all sources must be properly cited and referenced.

Your dilemma is that you have to make a painful medical decision and.docxwoodruffeloisa
Your dilemma is that you have to make a painful medical decision and
to explain, in writing, who benefits from what you decided, who gets
denied a needed benefit, and why. The document is to be in the form of
an official memorandum that will be kept for the record and could be
potentially read by not only your Peer Review Committee, but also
possibly those involved in charitable fundraising to support hospital
development and others with financial interests in the choice made.
Include in the document the utilitarian ethical philosophy of John
Stuart Mill (The Ethics of Consequences) and ONE OTHER ETHICAL
PHILOSOPHER of your choice and use both of those philosophies to bolster your decision.
We can do John Stuart Mill and Jeremy Bentham for the two utilitarian ethical philosopher. They said: The Principle of Utility from Bentham and Mill expressed in ethical form is this: “We should act in such a way as to maximize the happiness of everyone affected by our actions.” This was a radical idea, because it included no references to religion and had a purely human focus. It was also teleological (learn this new word), because it focused only on the consequences of decisions.
This paper will be at least two double spaced pages but
limited to three pages. Remember both professional written form and
potential audience, as well as tone when writing this sensitive paper.
Your assignment is to make the decision using utilitarian ethics and
then to write it up in the form of a Memorandum for the hospital
records.
The Memorandum should be at least two double-spaced pages with a
maximum of three pages, in memorandum form, ready to become an
official item of record.
Scenario You Decide
One of the great ongoing situations that calls for ethical decision
making is the reality that there is almost always a greater need for
something than there is a supply to meet the need.
For our assignment and scenario, the demand is the life-and-death
situation of the need for transplantable organs and the rather small
and transitory supply. Hard decisions need to be made, and there is
little time to think things through. These are emergency situations.
Transplantable organs become available on short notice--usually
because a donor has died for reasons unrelated to the organ. They need
to be removed and transplanted very quickly because they only remain
fresh for a limited period. Then there is the whole complicated issue
of tissue type matching. There is also an ongoing concern about how
long recipients can wait.
Scenario:
Ok, Lead Surgeon, its time to do what you do the best!
You are the Lead surgeon in a major hospital, and by virtue of your
seniority you are also the key decision maker for transplant cases.
Right now you have three people who are waiting and hoping for a
suitable heart to become available. Your call phone rings suddenly,
and you are notified that a heart has become available- meaning that
you need to make a quick yet sound decision about which patient wil.

Your assignment is to write a formal response to this work. By caref.docxwoodruffeloisa
Your assignment is to write a formal response to this work. By carefully describing subject matter, medium, form, and context, you should be able to arrive at a thoughtful well -defended interpretation of the piece. (1) Describe it . Thoroughly. If it is representational, what is the subject matter depicted? If it is non -representational, say so. What does it look like? What is the medium? Have we studied/do you know anything about the process that resulted in the work? What size is it? Is it a 2 -dimensional or 3 -dimensional piece? Which formal elements stand out to you? What are the colors being used? Be as descriptive as possible. (2) Contextualize it . What is the title? What is the name of the artist who created it? Do you know anything about the artist? Is there a statement giving you more information? In which year was it made? Where is it being displayed as you are looking at it? How is it being displayed? Are there other works by the same artist there to give you more context? Can you compare and contrast it to other works you’ve seen elsewhere or studied ? (3) Interpret it. Based on your description, what do you think the artist was trying to say? It may be difficult to separate this interpretation from the descriptive process and it is okay if the two aspects are interwoven. (4) Respond to it. Though I am not interested in merely hearing whether or not you like the piece, I also want you to meaningful respond to the work. As art -critic Peter Scheldahl proposes, a question more valuable to ask yourself can be, “If I were someone who did like this piece, why would I like it?” Who is its intended audience and are you among that audience? Why did you choose this particular piece? What does it make you think about? Why do you think that the artist made the choices that she or he did? Do you agree with all of those choices? Is the artist’s intention clear/well -executed? How do you feel about the way in which the work is being displayed? Would it be more suitably exhibited somewhere else or alongside different work? This part of the paper may contain judgments, but at this point they will be well founded. Never make a proclamation without continuing the sentence with the because… Your response should be a minimum of one and a half double -spaced pages, 12 point font. If you are thorough in your description, you should find that you easily exceed this length.

Your assignment is to write a short position paper (1 to 2 pages dou.docxwoodruffeloisa
Your assignment is to write a short position paper (1 to 2 pages double spaced, or roughly 250-500 words) answering ONE of the following two questions:
(1) How much appropriation do you think is justifiable in creating new works of art which draw on previously existing source material? As case studies, consider Nina Paley’s use of Annette Hanshaw’s music in
Sita Sings the Blues
and Shepard Fairey’s adaptation of an Associated Press news photograph for his 2008 Barack Obama “Hope” campaign poster. In each case, do you feel the artist was right or wrong in the way they used the material? Were the corporate entities involved right or wrong to claim their copyrights gave them the power to suppress these works?
-OR-
(2) When an artist freely adapts material that is strongly associated with a culture other than his or her own, does that artist have a special responsibility to avoid offending some members of that culture? Would the same standards apply to an artist from within the culture? As a case study, consider Nina Paley’s contemporary retelling of the Ramayana epic in
Sita Sings the Blues
. Some Hindus condemned the film while other Hindus applauded it. When, if ever, should an artist compromise his or her vision in deference to interest groups claiming offense?
Whichever question you choose, you may argue pro or con or somewhere in between, but whatever side you are on, you should avoid emotional rants and baseless charges. Summarize each side’s position, and use specific evidence and sound reasoning to support your case. Your writing will be assessed according to the amount of time and thought you put into the work, the persuasiveness of your reasoning, and the clarity of your writing. You may refer to outside sources if properly cited, but do not copy from websites or other authors; use your own words. As always, grammar, spelling, and style count; be sure to proofread your paper for any mistakes.

Your assignment is to report on a cultural experience visit you .docxwoodruffeloisa
Your assignment is to report on a "cultural experience" visit you make during this term. The experience should be done in person. (If this is impossible, contact the instructor to arrange for an alternative assignment.) You may not report on a cultural experience from prior to this class. After the visit, write a 500-800 word report about the visit and what you learned.
You should attend or visit one of the following.
a museum or display of art, culture, or technology
a sculpture garden
a significant or notable architectural site (if there is explanatory material there to help you understand it)
a music concert
a street art festival
a play, poetry reading or other spoken word performance
a dance performance
an important or notable historical site (if there is explanatory material there to help you understand it)
a religious service, ceremony or ritual for a religion very different from yours, if you practice (for instance, if you are Christian, you may not go to another Christian denomination's service)
other displays or performances
may
be acceptable.
Check with your instructor for approval beforehand.
After your
cultural experience visit,
write a report that includes the following information. (Please number the sections of your report to match):
Name and location of the museum, site, or event. If there is on-line information about the site or performance, include a link.
Type of museum, site or event. For example, is it a portrait museum, a poetry slam, an outdoor Shakespeare festival performance? If you attended a performance, name the performer or the piece. Be specific about
what
you attended,
when
, and
where
.
Briefly describe the general setting.
Describe
one or more parts or aspects
of the experience—for example, a particular work of art, cultural artifact, song, dance section, scene in a play, costumes or lighting, one particular actor or vocalist—that you found especially interesting. Explain what impressed you, and why. Your reaction can be positive or negative, as long as you offer an explanation for your reactions.
Identify and use at least two things you've learned in class to that you can connect to your experience. For example, if you visit a museum, you might point out the architectural style, discuss an artist you've learned about in the course, tie in your experience with a class discussion, make use of a concept presented in a class assignment. We've learned how visual arts and musical arts ( hearing are and can be different as you get a differen experence from it), also we have learned that different experiences bring different meaning and different ways of seeing things.
Include photos or links to images on a web page to help convey the information.
How did the experience engage your feelings or emotions, if at all? What does this tell you about human culture
Reflect on the relevance--if any--of your experience to your everyday life.

Your annotated bibliography will list a minimum of
six items
.
Four
of them must be from credible, academic, peer-reviewed sources that you find as you do research for the final essay.
The remaining two
sources must be credible, but they can come from sources other than academic journals if you wish. When you write, use standard MLA typographic and citation format, and then extend each Works Cited entry with a summary of the major arguments in the essay you have read. Each summary must contain
a minimum of 100 words
.
If desired, append a list of “Works Consulted” for sources used that are
not
peer-reviewed.
Basic MLA Style Format for an Annotated Bibliography
Format your page and list of citations in the same way you would a normal Works Cited page, then add your annotation at the end of it.
Title your bibliography “Works Cited” at the top of the page. Center it, but do not put it in bold face type.
Put entries in alphabetical order, not the order in which they have been assigned.
Use hanging indents
, as shown below. That is, the first line of the citation starts at the left margin. Subsequent lines are indented 5 spaces.
As with every other part of an MLA formatted essay, the bibliography is
double spaced
throughout.
The
annotation is a continuation of the citation
. Do not drop down to the next line to start the annotation.
The
right margin is the normal right margin
of your document.
There is a right way and a wrong way to write up these entries.
Don’t “report”
the arguments the author makes or tell readers the order in which those arguments are presented and count all of that reporting and listing as “summary” or annotation. Instead, restate in your own words the claims made by the writer in his/her essay.
Wrong way to do it
: "Marotti introduces his argument in the first section of the essay; then he moves on to talk about Petrarchan conventions. He ends the essay by talking about the political ramifications of Shakespeare's sonnets."
Right way to do it:
"Marotti’s argument here is that the sonnet genre must be understood in three ways: by examining the text itself, by examining the text in relation to others of its kind, and by exploring the social/historical environment in which it was published and circulated . . ."
Sample Annotations
NOTE:
These entries provide models of both format and content. They summarize—rather than “report”—the essay described.
Marotti, Arthur F. ""Love is Not Love": Elizabethan Sonnet Sequences and the Social Order."
ELH
2(1982): 396-428. Marotti’s argument here is that the sonnet genre must be understood in three ways: by examining the text itself, by examining the text in relation to others of its kind, and by exploring the social/historical environment in which it was published and circulated. Using those criteria, he argues that we should understand sonnet sequences as more than just a collected string of Petrarchan love poems. The 16

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

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

PRACTICAL CONNECTION ASSIGNMENT
Professor Scott Van Nice
Original source of fact pattern:
https://resources.infosecinstitute.com/computer-forensics-
investigation-case-study/
Refresher
1. A Computer Forensic investigator generally investigates the
data which could be taken from computer hard disks or any
other storage devices with adherence to standard policies and
procedures to determine if those devices have been
compromised by unauthorized access or not.
2. Computer Forensics investigators work as a team to
investigate the incident and conduct the forensic analysis by
using various methodologies (e.g. Static and Dynamic) and tools
(e.g. FTK or Encase) to ensure the computer network system is
secure in an organization.
3. A successful Computer Forensic investigator must be familiar
6. with various laws and regulations related to computer crimes in
their country (e.g. Computer Misuse Act 1990, the UK) and
various computer operating systems (e.g. Windows, Linux) and
network operating systems (e.g. Win NT).
4. Public investigations and Private or Corporate investigations
are the two distinctive categories that fall under Computer
Forensics investigations. Public investigations will be
conducted by government agencies, and private investigations
will be conducted by private computer forensic team.
Fact Pattern
1. A new start-up SME (small-medium enterprise) based in
Luton has recently begun to notice anomalies in its accounting
and product records.
2. This SME has also noticed that their competitors seem to be
developing products that are very similar to what they are doing
which suggests potential intellectual property theft.
3. SME has undertaken an initial check of system log files, and
there are several suspicious entries and IP addresses with a
large amount of data being sent outside the company firewall.
4. SME has also recently received several customer complaints
saying that there is often a strange message displayed during
order processing, and they are often re-directed to a payment
page that does not look legitimate.
5. The company makes use of a general purpose eBusiness
package (OSCommerce) and has a small team of six IT support
professionals, but they do not feel that they have the expertise
to carry out a full scale malware/forensic investigation.
6. As there is increased competition in the hi-tech domain, the
company is anxious to ensure that their systems are not being
compromised either internally or externally and they have
employed a digital forensic investigator to determine whether
any malicious activity has taken place, and to ensure that there
is no malware within their systems.
7. The company uses Windows 10 for its servers. Patches are
applied by the IT support team on a monthly basis, but the team
has noticed that a number of machines do not seem to have been
7. patched.
8. The company provides mobile devices (Apple iOS) to its
employees and the iPhones are considered corporate assets.
9. The company also as several employees who use non-
corporate mobile devices for work but they are not considered
corporate assets.
10. The company uses Microsoft Exchange with an enterprise
email server environment where every employee has their own
corporate email account.
11. The company’s network is composed of routers, firewalls,
hubs, and active directory domain servers.
12. Many of the employees also carry tech-wearables e.g.
FitBit, smart watches, etc that can be plugged into a computer
via a USB port for charging and/or for data transfer.
13. The company has several employees in the United States
and several in the European Union region (EU) e.g. two of them
are in Germany.
14. Your task, as an attorney and a trained forensic investigator,
is to supervise a digital forensics investigation to see whether
you can prepare a case against the perpetrators.
15. This task may require investigating all employees including
emails, the network, mobile devices, computers, etc.
16. In addition to overseeing an investigation you are asked to
advise the company of its legal rights e.g. what the company
may or may not do especially if you are planning to collect
devices or emails.
Deliverables
Your deliverable in this assignment is a 2-page report (no more
than 3 pages please) discussing how you would approach the
following Digital Forensic Investigation. As part of this report
you should also:
1. Outline and discuss the methodology that you will use.
2. Provide a reasoned argument as to why the particular
methodology (or methodologies) chosen is relevant.
3. Identify key facts and identify key considerations to consider
8. from a technical / forensic standpoint that the company should
consider.
4. Identify key facts and identify key considerations to consider
from a legal standpoint that the company should consider.
5. Discuss in detail (step by step) the process that you will use
to collect evidence and discuss the relevant guidelines that need
to be followed when collecting digital evidence.
6. Be sure to back your reasoning with case law as applicable.
Scott’s Hints
1. Spend some time thinking about how you want to frame this.
2. Look at your textbooks – and the chapters covered. Perhaps
that would give you a good roadmap.
3. There are many obvious and non-obvious devices here. Spend
some time listing there as well as perhaps think of others that
may be included (but was not explicitly) called out.
4. Refresh your memory on the order of volatility, this may help
you prioritize.
5. Are there some potential resources that I did not include in
this fact pattern, but you think should be considered (one good
example might be capture of email accounts from the back-end
e.g. Exchange server).
Why did I assign you this?
Many real-world cybersecurity incidents have a lot of moving
parts and you may be asked to quickly formulate a plan while
ensuring it has a legal foundation. This is a good exercise as to
how you can learn to put everything together. In addition, I
think this might make a great interview segment for you where
you can demonstrate to a potential employer of how much you
have learned!
This is also an open-ended assignment so many of you may
approach this differently. This is fine so long you are mindful
of the important forensic principles that we have learned
together.

Case Study:
Lean Process Improvement –
Nova Point
Tina Agustiady
Certified Six Sigma Master Black Belt

Page 2 of 18
Executive Summary
Nova Point is a growing product for a main ice cream factory
named Uncle T’s.
10. The product is selling extremely well, and sales have been
rising for the past
year. Over the past year, even with the increase of sales, there
has also been an
increase in complaints for thick or thin ice cream. Customers
felt that some ice
cream was too thick and lost the fluffy texture, while others had
thin ice cream
that melted too quickly in their mouth, which made it feel like a
liquid. Poor quality
of the Nova Point causes thick or thin product, resulting in
major variation in
product due to materials, methods, machinery, measurements,
manpower, and
Mother Nature.
The product is made in two main factories, but the main
problems are
significantly coming from one factory. The product with the
problems is made on
a production line where the temperature is warm within the
factory. They are also
scrapping a great amount of product due to it now being
inedible. It goes through
11. a series of processes – mainly kettles, where raw materials enter
and then go
through a series of mixing steps. The materials are then pumped
out onto a
production line and thereafter packaged. The current first pass
quality is 91%,
and there are many holds on the product due to thick or thin
product that is held
within the factory before it is sent to the customer. The goal of
the project is to:

What Is Lean?
Lean is the pursuit of perfection via a systematic approach to
identifying and
eliminating waste through continuous improvement of the value
stream,
enabling the product or information to flow at a rate determined
by the pull of the
customer.

Conclusion of Identify Value
The Identify Value step showed that the processes committed by
Nova Point are
important to the customers and the business. A high-level
process map was
completed in order to more fully understand the steps. The
project team now has
a baseline to begin to map the value stream.
Map the Value Stream
The goals of mapping the value stream were to determine the
key factors for
variation issues, machine issues, and variation in Nova Point
process through
21. statistical analysis and graphical analysis. The goal of the
project is to increase
first pass quality from 91% to 99%, and to reduce holds by 10%.
A SIPOC was performed to see the high-level process inputs,
outputs, and
process steps.

Root cause analysis includes a very structured approach to
investigating issues for a
22. permanent fix of the problem. What is sought is the true cause
of the problem, which
most people mistake for short-term fixes. Putting guards in
place on manufacturing lines
as well as properly placing buckets in order to eliminate waste
are examples of short
fixes. The problem still occurs, but there is just a measure put
in place to try and
eliminate the waste. The prevention of the problem from
occurring is not fixed.
Even though assumptions are utilized for root cause analysis,
they should be backed up
with documentation and data. Data driven conclusions should be
made when assuming
problems.
Cause-and-effect diagrams are used to examine effects of
problems by exploring the
possible causes and to point out possible areas where data can
be collected.
They are performed to find potential solutions to a problem by
looking for the root
cause(s).
Steps to Conducting a Fishbone or Cause-and-Effect Diagram
23. 1. Brainstorm all possible causes of the problem or effect
selected.
• The initial objective is to achieve quantity of ideas rather than
quality of ideas.
One person’s idea can trigger someone else’s idea, and a chain
reaction will
occur.
• No criticism is allowed; all team members must participate.
2. Classify the major causes under the following categories:
• Manpower
• Machinery
• Method

Conclusion of Map the Value Stream
Data was taken for as many parameters as possible before
changing any variables. It
was found that piping was making a significant impact on the
process, and analysis
needed to be completed for that.
The following was accomplished:
• Process mapping
• Data gathering
26. • Cause-and-effect diagram
• Root cause analysis
• Pareto chart
Create Flow
It could automatically be seen that the water in the pipe needed
to be dealt with along
with product specifications and the quality of the shortening.
The team did a 5 Whys analysis to understand why the water
was clogging in the pipe
shown in the figure below.

It was important to understand the types of waste that were
occurring in the process.
The team decided to do a floor walk (Gemba walk) to find the
main types of waste
associated with the acronym DOWNTIME.

Please complete the Waste Walk tab in the Excel template
provided. Be
creative here; there are no right or wrong answers.
Conclusion of Create Flow
In Lean management, flow is a key concept. Since any kind of
waiting is a waste, when
creating a flow of value, your goal is to ensure smooth delivery
from the second you
receive an order to the moment when you deliver it to the
customer.
Hints to improving flow:
• Map the process.
Villanova University
College of Professional Studies
28. Page 13 of 18
• Talk to subject matter experts about issues.
• Identify all types of different waste in the current process.
• Map an ideal state – the perfect process.
• Develop an action plan.
• Actively monitor the new processes put into place by creating
performance
measures.
• Think about places where batch processing can be changed to
single piece flow.
Establish Pull
The team decided to change the piping so that water could flow
quicker through the
piping to make more consistent product that was in
specification. The extra water in the
pipe could make the product thin by dispersing too much water
from the pipe or too
thick by not having enough water because it was stuck in the
pipe.
The changes to the piping were made immediately.

Since the temperature of 235 degrees in Factory A seemed to
have better specifications
than Factory B at a lower temperature, we decided to benchmark
and make a standard
operating procedure to heat the product to 235 degrees. The
team noticed that all of the
raw ingredients were brought to the line at the beginning of the
shift. This caused some
of the ingredients to start melting before they were put in the
kettle.
Conclusion of Establish Pull
Many opportunities were identified, and action items were
completed to improve the
30. variation issues for Nova Point. More opportunities will
continue to be sought once
proper practices such as the ones stated in the control phase
continue to be ensured.

The three major variables are listed below:
Variable 1 – Piping
• After several tests and data analysis, the thin and thick issues
were minimized
after the piping changes.
Variable 2 – Specifications for Thin or Thick Product
• Specifications were determined for thin or thick product.
• We also spoke to the supplier and changed our specification
ranges with them
saying we would no longer take any raw material out of
specification because it
was ruining our reputation.

Seek Perfection
The following is a control plan is a document that:
• Provides “one-stop shopping” for a summary of your team’s
project.
• Helps others understand what was done.
• Is used to build on without having to reinvent the wheel.
• Allows for replication.
• Is a final list of the Xs (input variables) and Ys (output
32. variables).
• Exists solely to ensure that we consistently operate our
processes such that
product meets customer requirements.
There are several basic steps to completing a control plan:
1. Collect existing documentation for the process.
2. Determine the scope of the process for the current control
plan.
3. Form teams to update the control plan regularly.
4. Replace short-term capability studies with long-term
capability results.
5. Complete control plan summaries.
6. Identify missing or inadequate components or gaps.
7. Review training, maintenance, and operational action plans.
8. Assign tasks to team members.

procedures.
10. Train or retrain operators.
11. Collect signoffs from all departments.
12. Verify effectiveness with long-term capabilities.
A control plan ensures consistency while eliminating variation
in the system.
Control plans help people because they sustain processes that
were put in place.

35. Conclusion to Project
One main change was made to minimize variation, and this
involved the piping. The
water was being trapped in a pipe, making the product thick or
thin based on when the
water purged from the pipe. The pipe was changed and
immediately fixed the
problems. A standard deviation change was also implemented to
ensure customers
were getting in-spec products. The standard deviation was
centered. The temperature
