Introduction
The Templates
These templates were created from Microsoft Word and saved as RTF (Rich Text Format). This allows it to be used by a number of word processors. However, Word would be the best as not all word processors use the same formatting schemes. Also, Microsoft’s WordPad, which comes free with Windows, will work to a certain degree, however, a number of formatting errors will occur, such as page numbers being lost and the information in tables not fitting as WordPad has no such features built into it.
Some of the instruments contain two templates: a blank instrument for your use, followed by an example of a completed instrument.
NOTE: Most of the templates contain more information than most users will normally need. Thus the templates were saved in the RTF format to allow them to be edited to suit your needs.
Business Outcome
“Analysis is the study we do in order to figure out what to do.” - Rossett, Allison & Sheldon, Kendra (2001). Beyond the Podium: Delivering Training and Performance to a Digital World.
Purpose: Learning initiatives should always be undertaken to improve the performance of the business, thus they should always be defined in business terms. An ROI (Return On Investment) is not always required or cost-effective; however there should be a clear causal link.
For example, frequent feedback to subordinates is normally considered a means for promoting better performance, which should equate to higher profits. Thus “the students will learn feedback skills” is NOT a business outcome as it does not relate to a verifiable outcome.
A better business outcome would be “the learner’s subordinates receive more frequent and better feedback” as a result of the learning initiative. The first outcome only told us what will be learned, while this outcome gave us a result than can be measured and verified.
Write your business outcome in terms that show how it will be transferred and then applied in a way that produces results:

The document discusses the gaps model of service quality. It introduces the conceptual framework of the gaps model, which identifies four key gaps in how companies deliver service quality to customers. The first is the customer gap, which is the difference between customer expectations and perceptions. The other three are provider gaps that occur within companies and contribute to the customer gap. These include the listening gap of not knowing customer expectations, the service design gap of not having the right standards, the service performance gap of not meeting standards, and the communication gap of not matching promises to performance. The document provides details on each gap and how analyzing these gaps can help companies improve service quality.

First Reading and Writing Assignment Read the chapter ei.docxAKHIL969626
First Reading and Writing Assignment:
Read the chapter either on Caesar, Cicero, or Cleopatra (in the Antony chapter) by Plutarch. You will find
the chapters by putting in for your search on the internet Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans by
Plutarch. The website should pop right up as one of the first search results. The web address is
ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/Plutarch/lives/. Once you click on and get into the site, click on Table of
Contents in the upper left hand corner of the web page and then scroll down the list of chapters to the
one of the three you want to read and click on it.
After you read the chapter, go to Learn/Canvas and click on the first file that we used for the class that
has the Practice Quiz and the lecture outlines for Prehistory/Ancient Near East. After the practice quiz,
you will find the page with the questions on the readings. Answer question one if you read the chapter
on either Caesar or Cleopatra, just changing the name from Caesar to Cleopatra if you read about her.
Answer question two if you read about Cicero.
Your answer should address all the parts of the question and be about a half (no shorter) to a page in
length (can go longer). You can either type or handwrite your answer, but use a pen, not a pencil, if you
handwrite your answer. Double space if you type your answer. Use at least two short quotes from the
chapter to support your answer with at least one of the quotes coming from later rather than near the
beginning of the chapter. After your first quote, put the web address in parentheses after the quote; but
you need not keep doing this for any other quote unless it is a quote from a different source than the
chapter.
The written assignment is due on Wed., March 15, and should be turned in as a hard copy in class on
that date.

Chapter 7 Beyond Competence: Developing Managers of Complex Projects by Lynn Crawford and Ed Hoffman
The objective of the chapter is to define a future for project management—as a profession and as an approach to effectively delivering corporate strategy—demands capability that goes beyond minimum standards for competence.
Crawford and Hoffman discuss a number of corporations that are taking direct responsibility for developing sufficient people with the right set of skills, experience, and behaviors to cope with the management of complex projects.
They then articulate the development of higher-order expertise, which is required to manage more complex projects, requires opportunities to gain relevant experience.
They finally lament that few organisations are investing in mentoring and support of meta-competencies.

Summary Questions – Sartre, Leopold Put things in your own.docxfredr6
Summary Questions – Sartre, Leopold
Put things in your own words unless the question asks for a direct quote.
Answer each question in 8-12 sentences.
1. How does Sartre use the story of a young man’s decision to question the
usefulness of traditional ethical theories? Do you agree with his criticism? Why or
why not?
2. Choose a debated environmental issue (such as climate change, endangered
species, organic food, etc.) and describe what Leopold might say about the ethics
of this issue, based on his views in the reading. Quote and explain two direct
quotes from the reading as part of your answer, using quotation marks and the
in-text citation (Leopold, 1949/2010, p. ____).
3. Thinking back over the course, what would you embrace as your preferred
ethical theory? To answer, fill in the blanks in the following sentence: “An
action is right if it _____, and wrong if it ____.” You could endorse one of the
theories we have covered, create your own personal theory, or maybe
combine several theories in the way you see best. In addition to stating your
theory, give some reasons why it is a reasonable approach to ethics.

Term Project
Report due date: By midnight before the presentation day
Presentation day: TBA
Conduct a simulation study on one of the following systems:
1) SIUE cafeteria in MUC
With frequent complaints from students about waiting times in lines during their short
lunch (or dinner) breaks, you are asked to find the most economic and effective ways to cut
average total time in system by 15%. To this end, your team must develop simulation
models, evaluate various configurations/scenarios, and propose the best one. To improve
performance of the system, you could modify the layout or the process, add more resource
units, or provide any suggestions to achieve the goal (you may not be able to achieve 15%
though, which is fine).
2) Any other system of your interest
In this case, you must submit a brief project proposal by 10/24 and get the instructor’s
approval.
Guidelines
1. Data collection & curve fitting: Visit the site during the busiest hours of operation (lunch
or dinner time) if possible. You must collect data about interarrival times to the cafeteria,
and service times in at least one vendor. For other processes, make reasonable
assumptions on their distributions based on some observations and/or interviews. You
may also have to make some assumptions in some parts of your simulation model that
are hard to quantify/model/program (e.g. limited data due to limited resource
availability, customers’ mental behavior, etc.). Please make the assumptions as realistic
as possible and provided some justification about your choice. For facilitating data
collection, there are some stopwatch apps available on App Store or Google Play such as
“StopWatch Xtreme Free” that are quite handy for recording.

Project Overview –
Virtual PMO Services for PJM Students and Alumni
This project is one I have wanted to do for some time now – in order to move it forward to our leaders for approval, it would be very helpful to have an integrated plan to share for decision making – a draft charter/ scope statement and workplan has been created for this project. The next planning step is to complete the risk work.
Project Background
Currently, each faculty within our PJM program shares a number of project management templates used in their own project management work for use within their courses. The intent is to collect and share these templates across all sections of a course so that all students have access to a number of potential templates in that subject area and can then create their own version of the template that best meets the needs of their assignment projects. This will also store all templates in one place for easy access – regardless of the course that one is in it is convenient to locate other templates that might be helpful for the work in any course.
We also would like to make this available to alumni of the program – to allow them to benefit from our inventory of templates and also to allow them to contribute templates to the NU PJM community. This provides yet another opportunity for industry alignment and maintains a connection with our esteemed alumni.
This project is still considered to be at the beginning of its efforts. It will be a visible project within the Northeastern community – for faculty, current students and alumni.
Work to date – currently, there are many project management templates floating around our program. There has not been a coordinated effort to locate, vet and store these templates – nor have we considered if there are gaps in the templates provided.
Work includes understanding the needs of faculty, students and alumni and then creating a shared repository solution that will meet these needs. At minimum, the project will identify all available templates from faculty, reviewing these to ensure they are comprehensive, clear and ready for use and well as to review the inventory of templates against good practices in project management and the PMBOK - and that there are no copyright issues with posting on our shared site. Both faculty and students near the end of the program should be included in the review of the templates.
The shared site tool needs to be selected – this will require understanding the needs of faculty, students and alumni as well as standards to be followed in the IT constraints. The site needs to be designed and the templates uploaded.
A process needs to be created and implemented for upkeep on the templates as well as how additional templates are submitted for consideration, vetted and the site updated.

In this SLP you will identify where the major transportation modes a.docxwhitneyleman54422
In this SLP you will identify where the major transportation modes are used in the EESC from SLP3: rail, inland water, ocean steamer, and/or OTR.
There are five basic transportation modes: rail, inland water ways, ocean, over-the-road, and air. We will not be concerned about air transport in this SLP as it is the least used and most expensive in general supply chain transportation.
Review and read these resources on these three transportation modes: rail, inland water, and OTR. Ocean is not included in these readings since it is mainly used for importing and exporting. This will be covered in more detail in LOG502. But you are asked to identify where ocean transport is used, but not in detail.
RESOURCES - SEE SLP 3 RESOURCES IN BACKGROUND PAGE

In this module, we looked at a variety of styles in the Renaissa.docxwhitneyleman54422
In this module, we looked at a variety of styles in the Renaissance in Italy. Artists like Botticelli, Bellini, Michelangelo, and Bronzino all incorporated Renaissance characteristics into their works, and yet their works look different from each other.
To address form and content in the artistic developments and trends that took place in the Renaissance, look closely at examples from each of these artists.
Choose one painting by one of the artists listed above, and identify characteristics and techniques of the Renaissance style.
Then, address how the work departed from typical Renaissance formulas to become signature to that artist's particular style.
Finally, why did you select this artist? What draws you to their work?

In this essay you should combine your practice responding and analyz.docxwhitneyleman54422
In this essay you should combine your practice responding and analyzing short stories with support derived from research. So far in class, we have practiced primarily formal analysis. Now I want you to practice "joining the conversation." In this essay you will write a literary analysis that incorporates the ideas of others. The trick is to accurately present ideas and interpretations gathered from your research while adding to the conversation by presenting
your own
ideas and analysis.
You will be evaluated based on how well you use external sources. I want to see that you can quote, paraphrase and summarize without plagiarizing. Remember, any unique idea must be credited, even if you put it in your own words.
Choose one of the approaches explained in the "Approaches to Literary Analysis" located at the bottom of this document. Each approach will require research, and that research should provide the context in which you present your own ideas and support your thesis. Be sure to properly document your research. Review the information, notes, and pamphlets I have distributed in class as these will help guide you.
While I am asking you to conduct outside research, do not lose sight of the primary text to which you are responding---the story! Your research should support
your
interpretations of the story. Be sure that your thesis is relevant to the story and that you quote generously from the story.
Purpose:
critical analysis, Argument, writing from sources
Length:
approx 1200 words
Documentation:
Minimum of 4 sources required (one primary source—the story or poem analyzed, and three secondary, peer reviewed journals). (Note: review the material in "finding and evaluating sources.ppt" to help you choose relevant and trustworthy sources.)
Choose from the following short stories:
The Lottery,
Shirley Jackson
A Rose for Emily,
William Faulkner
The Dead
, James Joyce
The Veldt
, Ray Bradbury
Hills Like White Elephants,
Ernest Hemingway
The Cask of Amontillado or The Tell-Tale Heart,
Edgar Allen Poe
Below are some examples.
They are just here to give you an idea of the type of approaches that will work for this essay.
1. Philosophical analysis: How do the stories by Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus reflect the philosophy of existentialism?
2. Socio/cultural analysis: What opinion about marriage and gender roles does Hemingway advance in "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber"?
3. Historical analysis:: What social dilemmas faced by African Americans in the 1960s might have inspired Toni Cade Bambara to write "The Lesson"?
4. Biographical analysis: What events in Salman Rushdie's life might have influenced the events in "At the Auction of the Ruby Slippers"?
5. Psychological analysis: How is John Cheever's "The Swimmer" a metaphor for the psychology of addiction?

The document discusses the gaps model of service quality. It introduces the conceptual framework of the gaps model, which identifies four key gaps in how companies deliver service quality to customers. The first is the customer gap, which is the difference between customer expectations and perceptions. The other three are provider gaps that occur within companies and contribute to the customer gap. These include the listening gap of not knowing customer expectations, the service design gap of not having the right standards, the service performance gap of not meeting standards, and the communication gap of not matching promises to performance. The document provides details on each gap and how analyzing these gaps can help companies improve service quality.

First Reading and Writing Assignment Read the chapter ei.docxAKHIL969626
First Reading and Writing Assignment:
Read the chapter either on Caesar, Cicero, or Cleopatra (in the Antony chapter) by Plutarch. You will find
the chapters by putting in for your search on the internet Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans by
Plutarch. The website should pop right up as one of the first search results. The web address is
ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/Plutarch/lives/. Once you click on and get into the site, click on Table of
Contents in the upper left hand corner of the web page and then scroll down the list of chapters to the
one of the three you want to read and click on it.
After you read the chapter, go to Learn/Canvas and click on the first file that we used for the class that
has the Practice Quiz and the lecture outlines for Prehistory/Ancient Near East. After the practice quiz,
you will find the page with the questions on the readings. Answer question one if you read the chapter
on either Caesar or Cleopatra, just changing the name from Caesar to Cleopatra if you read about her.
Answer question two if you read about Cicero.
Your answer should address all the parts of the question and be about a half (no shorter) to a page in
length (can go longer). You can either type or handwrite your answer, but use a pen, not a pencil, if you
handwrite your answer. Double space if you type your answer. Use at least two short quotes from the
chapter to support your answer with at least one of the quotes coming from later rather than near the
beginning of the chapter. After your first quote, put the web address in parentheses after the quote; but
you need not keep doing this for any other quote unless it is a quote from a different source than the
chapter.
The written assignment is due on Wed., March 15, and should be turned in as a hard copy in class on
that date.

Chapter 7 Beyond Competence: Developing Managers of Complex Projects by Lynn Crawford and Ed Hoffman
The objective of the chapter is to define a future for project management—as a profession and as an approach to effectively delivering corporate strategy—demands capability that goes beyond minimum standards for competence.
Crawford and Hoffman discuss a number of corporations that are taking direct responsibility for developing sufficient people with the right set of skills, experience, and behaviors to cope with the management of complex projects.
They then articulate the development of higher-order expertise, which is required to manage more complex projects, requires opportunities to gain relevant experience.
They finally lament that few organisations are investing in mentoring and support of meta-competencies.

Summary Questions – Sartre, Leopold
Put things in your own words unless the question asks for a direct quote.
Answer each question in 8-12 sentences.
1. How does Sartre use the story of a young man’s decision to question the
usefulness of traditional ethical theories? Do you agree with his criticism? Why or
why not?
2. Choose a debated environmental issue (such as climate change, endangered
species, organic food, etc.) and describe what Leopold might say about the ethics
of this issue, based on his views in the reading. Quote and explain two direct
quotes from the reading as part of your answer, using quotation marks and the
in-text citation (Leopold, 1949/2010, p. ____).
3. Thinking back over the course, what would you embrace as your preferred
ethical theory? To answer, fill in the blanks in the following sentence: “An
action is right if it _____, and wrong if it ____.” You could endorse one of the
theories we have covered, create your own personal theory, or maybe
combine several theories in the way you see best. In addition to stating your
theory, give some reasons why it is a reasonable approach to ethics.

Term Project
Report due date: By midnight before the presentation day
Presentation day: TBA
Conduct a simulation study on one of the following systems:
1) SIUE cafeteria in MUC
With frequent complaints from students about waiting times in lines during their short
lunch (or dinner) breaks, you are asked to find the most economic and effective ways to cut
average total time in system by 15%. To this end, your team must develop simulation
models, evaluate various configurations/scenarios, and propose the best one. To improve
performance of the system, you could modify the layout or the process, add more resource
units, or provide any suggestions to achieve the goal (you may not be able to achieve 15%
though, which is fine).
2) Any other system of your interest
In this case, you must submit a brief project proposal by 10/24 and get the instructor’s
approval.
Guidelines
1. Data collection & curve fitting: Visit the site during the busiest hours of operation (lunch
or dinner time) if possible. You must collect data about interarrival times to the cafeteria,
and service times in at least one vendor. For other processes, make reasonable
assumptions on their distributions based on some observations and/or interviews. You
may also have to make some assumptions in some parts of your simulation model that
are hard to quantify/model/program (e.g. limited data due to limited resource
availability, customers’ mental behavior, etc.). Please make the assumptions as realistic
as possible and provided some justification about your choice. For facilitating data
collection, there are some stopwatch apps available on App Store or Google Play such as
“StopWatch Xtreme Free” that are quite handy for recording.

Project Overview –
Virtual PMO Services for PJM Students and Alumni
This project is one I have wanted to do for some time now – in order to move it forward to our leaders for approval, it would be very helpful to have an integrated plan to share for decision making – a draft charter/ scope statement and workplan has been created for this project. The next planning step is to complete the risk work.
Project Background
Currently, each faculty within our PJM program shares a number of project management templates used in their own project management work for use within their courses. The intent is to collect and share these templates across all sections of a course so that all students have access to a number of potential templates in that subject area and can then create their own version of the template that best meets the needs of their assignment projects. This will also store all templates in one place for easy access – regardless of the course that one is in it is convenient to locate other templates that might be helpful for the work in any course.
We also would like to make this available to alumni of the program – to allow them to benefit from our inventory of templates and also to allow them to contribute templates to the NU PJM community. This provides yet another opportunity for industry alignment and maintains a connection with our esteemed alumni.
This project is still considered to be at the beginning of its efforts. It will be a visible project within the Northeastern community – for faculty, current students and alumni.
Work to date – currently, there are many project management templates floating around our program. There has not been a coordinated effort to locate, vet and store these templates – nor have we considered if there are gaps in the templates provided.
Work includes understanding the needs of faculty, students and alumni and then creating a shared repository solution that will meet these needs. At minimum, the project will identify all available templates from faculty, reviewing these to ensure they are comprehensive, clear and ready for use and well as to review the inventory of templates against good practices in project management and the PMBOK - and that there are no copyright issues with posting on our shared site. Both faculty and students near the end of the program should be included in the review of the templates.
The shared site tool needs to be selected – this will require understanding the needs of faculty, students and alumni as well as standards to be followed in the IT constraints. The site needs to be designed and the templates uploaded.
A process needs to be created and implemented for upkeep on the templates as well as how additional templates are submitted for consideration, vetted and the site updated.

In this SLP you will identify where the major transportation modes a.docxwhitneyleman54422
In this SLP you will identify where the major transportation modes are used in the EESC from SLP3: rail, inland water, ocean steamer, and/or OTR.
There are five basic transportation modes: rail, inland water ways, ocean, over-the-road, and air. We will not be concerned about air transport in this SLP as it is the least used and most expensive in general supply chain transportation.
Review and read these resources on these three transportation modes: rail, inland water, and OTR. Ocean is not included in these readings since it is mainly used for importing and exporting. This will be covered in more detail in LOG502. But you are asked to identify where ocean transport is used, but not in detail.
RESOURCES - SEE SLP 3 RESOURCES IN BACKGROUND PAGE
Session Long Project
Review the EESC from SLP2. Identify in the EESC where each of the four modes of transportation are used: rail, inland water, ocean, and OTR. You can use topic headings for each mode. Identify the materials being transported from which industry to which industry. Discuss why this mode is being used and what the costs are on a per ton-mile basis.

In this essay you should combine your practice responding and analyz.docxwhitneyleman54422
In this essay you should combine your practice responding and analyzing short stories with support derived from research. So far in class, we have practiced primarily formal analysis. Now I want you to practice "joining the conversation." In this essay you will write a literary analysis that incorporates the ideas of others. The trick is to accurately present ideas and interpretations gathered from your research while adding to the conversation by presenting
your own
ideas and analysis.
You will be evaluated based on how well you use external sources. I want to see that you can quote, paraphrase and summarize without plagiarizing. Remember, any unique idea must be credited, even if you put it in your own words.
Choose one of the approaches explained in the "Approaches to Literary Analysis" located at the bottom of this document. Each approach will require research, and that research should provide the context in which you present your own ideas and support your thesis. Be sure to properly document your research. Review the information, notes, and pamphlets I have distributed in class as these will help guide you.
While I am asking you to conduct outside research, do not lose sight of the primary text to which you are responding---the story! Your research should support
your
interpretations of the story. Be sure that your thesis is relevant to the story and that you quote generously from the story.
Purpose:
critical analysis, Argument, writing from sources
Length:
approx 1200 words
Documentation:
Minimum of 4 sources required (one primary source—the story or poem analyzed, and three secondary, peer reviewed journals). (Note: review the material in "finding and evaluating sources.ppt" to help you choose relevant and trustworthy sources.)
Choose from the following short stories:
The Lottery,
Shirley Jackson
A Rose for Emily,
William Faulkner
The Dead
, James Joyce
The Veldt
, Ray Bradbury
Hills Like White Elephants,
Ernest Hemingway
The Cask of Amontillado or The Tell-Tale Heart,
Edgar Allen Poe
Below are some examples.
They are just here to give you an idea of the type of approaches that will work for this essay.
1. Philosophical analysis: How do the stories by Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus reflect the philosophy of existentialism?
2. Socio/cultural analysis: What opinion about marriage and gender roles does Hemingway advance in "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber"?
3. Historical analysis:: What social dilemmas faced by African Americans in the 1960s might have inspired Toni Cade Bambara to write "The Lesson"?
4. Biographical analysis: What events in Salman Rushdie's life might have influenced the events in "At the Auction of the Ruby Slippers"?
5. Psychological analysis: How is John Cheever's "The Swimmer" a metaphor for the psychology of addiction?

In this Discussion, pick one film to write about and answer ques.docxwhitneyleman54422
In this Discussion, pick one film to write about and answer questions below the film descriptions. If it has been a while since you have seen these films, they are available through online sources and various rental outlets. Although I have provided links to some of the films, I cannot guarantee they are still operable. If the links do not work, try your own online sources.
Dances with Wolves
(1990). Lt. John Dunbar (Kevin Costner) is assigned to the Western frontier on his own request after an act of bravery. He finds himself at an abandoned outpost. At first he maintains strict order using the methods and practices taught to him by the military, but as the film progresses, he makes friends with a nearby Native American tribe, and his perceptions of the military, the frontier, and Native Americans change dramatically.
Working Girl
(1988) Tess McGill (Melanie Griffith) works as a secretary for a large firm involved in acquiring media corporations such as radio and television. When her boss has a skiing accident, Tess gets a chance to use her own ideas and research, ideas that she has been keeping within herself for years – ideas that are arguably better, and more insightful into mass media practices, than her boss’s ideas were.
Schindler’s List
(1993). In Poland during World War II, Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) gradually becomes concerned for his Jewish workforce after witnessing their persecution by the Nazis. He initially was motivated by profit, but as the war progressed he began to sympathize with his Jewish workers and attempted to save them. He was credited with saving over 1000 Jews from extermination. (Based on a true story.)
Gran Torino
(2008). Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood), a recently widowed Korean War veteran alienated from his family and angry at the world. Walt's young neighbor, an Asian American, is pressured into stealing Walt's prized 1972 Ford Gran Torino by his cousin for his initiation into a gang. Walt thwarts the theft and subsequently develops a relationship with the boy and his family.
Describe the specific theories, assumptions, or “schools of thought” that the characters in the film have. How do their schools of thought differ?
How do the main characters change over the course of a film? How do their goals or desires change? Do they see themselves differently by the end of the film?
Which reflective theory from the course best illustrates the process the main characters go through during the film? How so?
Would you say that the main characters evolved or grew after learning something that was new, or a new approach, a new theory, or a new understanding of their place in the world?
I suggest that you refrain from reiterating the plotline. Rather, stay focused on character changes and the influences on those changes. Be sure to refer to the readings; use proper citations! This discussion will be scored based on the

In this assignment, I want you to locate two pieces of news detailing how an organization is responding to the COVID-19 crisis. You will turn this assignment into me via a Word Document attached to a separate email titled "extra credit assignment, Your Name" with your actual name in the subject line so I know to save the email for grading.
You need to analyze how businesses are handling the current COVID-19 crisis and I want to see if you can track down a press release from the organization, an email to their stakeholders, or even a screenshot of their website in which they explicitly address the actions they are taking in light of this new world we find ourselves in. However, the screenshots, hyperlinks to news stories, etc. are only one component of the assignment, your analysis is far and away from the more important component. Once you have tracked down two examples of how a business/organization is responding to the COVID-19 crisis, I want you to tell me how effective you perceive its action to be. Use any of the vocabulary or concepts that we have learned thus far in the semester to support your analysis. For example, is the business/organization using appropriate new media platforms to reach stakeholders? Is communication timely? Is the organization's tone sincere? What could have been done better? I am expecting one page, double-spaced for the length of your analysis, APA format. The images and or hyperlinks you compile will not be counted towards the length of your writing.

In the provided scenario there are a few different crimes being .docxwhitneyleman54422
In the provided scenario there are a few different crimes being committed and each could be argued multiple ways.
Steve could be charged with attempted murder. He was stabbing Michelle in the chest repeatedly. Due to the details of the scenario his charge could only be attempted because Michelle got up from the attack and charged Stacy. If she later died from her injuries Steve would/could be charged with murder. Even though he was “visibly drunk” he still maintained the purposely, knowing, or reckless intent to cause harm. He was coherent enough to make statements to her about how much he loved her, but still showed an extreme indifference to life and intent cause serious bodily harm. The biggest obstacle to a murder charge for Steve is his death. He cannot be charged with anything if he cannot be alive to defend himself. This takes care of the Steve factor.
Initially Stacy could be found guilty of murder. She knowingly and intentionally took the life of another (Steve). She also expresses an intent to kill when she stated, “I have had enough of you Steve”. From the scenario it is documented that she did not care for Steve and along with her statements, it can be shown that she was “just waiting for the opportunity” to kill Steve. In her favor is the fact that she attempted to stop Steve from harming another person. Her actions, while resulting in the death of another, were in the defense of a harmed person. She possibly saved the life of Michelle by using reasonable force to stop the stabbing.
Michelle could be charged with attempted murder as well. She stabbed Stacey in the chest while screaming, “how dare you”. She intended to cause death or serious physical injury. Again, if Stacey died from the wounds suffered, Michelle could/would be charged with murder. It could also be argued that Michelle had no malice aforethought. She was being stabbed and may not have known her actions were wrong. Her extreme circumstance clouded her reasonable decision making and all she was aware of is that her boyfriend, whom she loved, was just killed. This is unlikely but still a small possibility. Without more facts from the scenario it is difficult to fully play out all possibilities.

Poking fun at meetings is the stuff of Dilbert car-
toons—we can all joke about how soul-sucking and
painful they are. But that pain has real consequences
for teams and organizations. In our interviews with
hundreds of executives, in fields ranging from high
tech and retail to pharmaceuticals and consulting,
many said they felt overwhelmed by their meetings—
whether formal or informal, traditional or agile, face-
to-face or electronically mediated. One said, “I cannot
get my head above water to breathe during the week.”
Another described stabbing her leg with a pencil to
stop from screaming during a particularly torturous
staff meeting. Such complaints are supported by re-
search showing that meetings have increased in length
and frequency over the past 50 years, to the point
where executives spend an average of nearly 23 hours
a week in them, up from less than 10 hours in the
1960s. And that doesn’t even include all the impromptu
gatherings that don’t make it onto the schedule.
Much has been written about this problem, but the
solutions posed are usually discrete: Establish a clear
agenda, hold your meeting standing up, delegate
someone to attend in your place, and so on. We’ve
observed in our research and consulting that real im-
provement requires systemic change, because meet-
ings affect how people collaborate and how they get
their own work done.
Yet change of such scope is rarely considered. When
we probed into why people put up with the strain that
meetings place on their time and sanity, we found
something surprising: Those who resent and dread
meetings the most also defend them as a “necessary
evil”—sometimes with great passion. Consider this
excerpt from the corporate blog of a senior executive
in the pharmaceutical industry:
I believe that our abundance of meetings at our
company is the Cultural Tax we pay for the inclusive,
learning environment that we want to foster…
and I’m ok with that. If the alternative to more
meetings is more autocratic decision-making, less
input from all levels throughout the organization,
and fewer opportunities to ensure alignment and
communication by personal interaction, then give
me more meetings any time!
To be sure, meetings are essential for enabling col-
laboration, creativity, and innovation. They often foster
relationships and ensure proper information exchange.
They provide real benefits. But why would anyone ar-
gue in defense of excessive meetings, especially when
no one likes them much?
Because executives want to be good soldiers. When
they sacrifice their own .

Safety considerations: Safety goggles are highly recommended for this lab as baking soda and vinegar chemicals can be irritating to the eyes. If your skin becomes irritated from contact with these chemicals, rinse with cool water for 15 minutes.
Introduction:
The reaction between baking soda and vinegar is a fun activity for young people. Most children (and adults!) enjoy watching the foamy eruption that occurs upon mixing these two household substances. The reaction has often been used for erupting volcanoes in elementary science classes. The addition of food coloring makes it even more fun. The reaction involves an acid-base reaction that produces a gas (CO2). Acid-base reactions typically involve the transfer of a hydrogen ion (H+) from the acid (HA) to the base (B−):
HA + B− --> A− + BH (eq #1)
acid base
The base often (although not always) carries a negative charge. The acid usually (although not always) becomes negatively charged through the course of the reaction because it lost an H+. An example of a typical acid base reaction is below:
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) --> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) (eq #2)
The reaction is actually taking place between the hydrogen ion (H+) and the hydroxide ion (OH−). The chloride and sodium are spectator ions. To write the reaction in the same form as eq #1:
HCl(aq) + OH- --> Cl- + H2O (l) (eq #3)
Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) will dissociate in water to form sodium ion (Na+) and bicarbonate ion (HCO3−).
NaHCO3 --> Na+ + HCO3− (eq #4)
Vinegar is usually a 5% solution of acetic acid in water. The bicarbonate anion (HCO3−) can act as a base, accepting a hydrogen ion from the acetic acid (HC2H3O2) in the vinegar. The Na+ is just a spectator ion and does nothing.
HCO3− + HC2H3O2 --> H2CO3 + C2H3O2− (eq#5)
Bicarbonate acetic acid carbonic acid acetate ion
The carbonic acid that is formed (H2CO3) decomposes to form water and carbon dioxide:
H2CO3 --> H2O(l) + CO2(g) (eq#6)
carbonic acid water carbon dioxide
The latter reaction (production of carbon dioxide) accounts for the bubbles and the foaming that is observed upon mixing vinegar and baki.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

1.1 INTRODUCTION
GE is one of the global companies that provide power energy
and its service to the
worldwide. GE supports coop students and provides special
courses and training to give them the
real chance and get in industrial environment. General Electric
has been selected to be the second
around the world in profit wise. During 7 months training at
29. General Electric in Jeddah in customer
service department of GE power & water. I have worked in
many projects, tasks and issues. This
report, I would like to discuss the projects, tasks that I have
applied and worked on them.
1.2 COMPANY PROFILE
General Electric (GE) is an American multinational
conglomerate corporation incorporated
in New York and headquartered in Fairfield, Connecticut. As of
2015, GE operates through the
following segments:
More than 120 years ago, GE founder Thomas Edison changed
the world with the first
affordable light bulb, the power of “imagination at work.” in
1878.Today, GE has diversified and
grown, and they make a significant impact on the communities
they serve. Globally, GE purify

as a key partner in helping
the Kingdom meet its developmental goals. GE power
generation technology is installed in nearly
40 Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) sites and more than half of
the entire Kingdom’s electricity
comes from over 500 GE turbines. GE invested more than of
150 million us dollars to build
11 | P a g e
GEMTEC in 2011 the largest repair shop of its kind in the
world. The GE Manufacturing
Technology Center (GEMTEC) is located in Dammam.
GEMTEC serves components from more
than 550 turbines. GE is planning that the next phase is going to
start in January 2016, which will
hold the manufacturing stage of turbine components with an
investment of more than 200 million
us dollars. GEMTEC is promising the development of Saudi

CHAPTER TWO: QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
(LEAN SIX SIGMA)
39. 15 | P a g e
2.1 DEFINE PHASE
2.1.1 Introduction
GE gas turbine components need to periodic maintenance after
12,000 operating hours. The
transportation of one component to / from the customers should
go through four elements, which
are the power plants (customers), customer service (CS),
GEMETE, and Agility (Transportation
Company).
2.1.2 Problem Statement
Every week, there are between 6 to 8 delay days Avg. of the
transportation between 13 power
plants and GEMTEC. The delay cost of transportation is 1000
per day. The four elements, which
are the Power plants, (CS), GEMETE, and Agility, are part of
every pick up components.
2.1.3 Objective
Lean focus on flow through eliminating waste, whereas six
sigma’s focus is on reducing
40. variability to enhance consistent performance. The objective of
applying Lean Six Sigma on this
project is to improving the logistics process of transporting gas
turbine components from the GE
repair facility (GEMTEC) to several customer sites in Saudi by
ing wasting money
2.1.4 Used Tools
Three tools are used to understand how the process is going.
1. SIPOC
2. Conventional Process mapping
3. Cross-Functional Process Map
16 | P a g e
41. 2.1.4.1 SIPOC
In order to develop a general understanding of the process,
inputs, outputs, suppliers and
customers, we used SIPOC. This tool allows us to see the
transportation system suppliers, inputs,
all process job tasks involved to do the main purpose, the output
which is the target we trying to
reach and then the customer. The customer here is SEC Saudi
Electric Company where GE works
in their power plant.
Figure 3 SIPOC
17 | P a g e
2.1.4.2 Conventional Process Mapping
Conventional Process mapping is to understand what the process
is and the related element
between each.
Figure 4 Conventional Process Mapping

2.1.4.3 Cross-Functional Process Map
Cross-Functional Process Map provides the same as
Conventional Process mapping type of
information but it will explain more information concerning
who is the responsible for every stage.
Figure 5 Cross-Functional Process Map

2.2 MEASURE PHASE
2.2.1 Data Collect
The data was collected during six (6) months. Every week,
there are number trucks were
delayed during transporting gas turbine components from the
43. GE repair facility to several
customer sites in Saudi. The number of delay trucks increase
when there are too many jobs. The
table below shows the delay days per week:

2.2.2 Histogram
The histogram is a graphical summary that group data into
classes to show the location,
45. distribution’s shape and variation. It is an estimate of the
probability distribution of a continuous
variable (quantitative variable) .The histogram of delay days
shows in figure below:
As is shown in the graph looks normal curve, but it still
cannot give any conclusions about
the data distribution.
Figure 6 Histogram of Delay Days
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_variable
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_variable
21 | P a g e
2.2.3 Normal Probability Plot
After analysis the histogram, the normal probability plot should
be used to know whether
the assumption is following normal distribution or not. The
normal probability plot is shown
46. below.
Figure 7 Normal Probability Plot
As is shown in the probability plot the P-Value is 0.236, and
because the P-Value is high,
our assumption regarding normality of the data is correct.
22 | P a g e
2.3 ANALYZE PHASE
The third step in the Six Sigma DMAIC (Define, Measure,
Analyze, Improve, and Control)
is analyzes phase that is the beginning of the statistical analysis
of the problem. The practical
problem was created earlier. This phase statistically reviews the
families of variation to determine
which significant contributors to the output are.
47. 2.3.1 Cause and Effect Diagram
Cause and Effect Diagram is known as “fishbone diagram”,
“Ishikawa diagram” or “feather
diagram”. It defines the relationship between an
“effect/Defect/symptom” and all possible
“causes” on that effect, hence the name “Cause and Effect”
Diagram.
Figure 8 Cause and Effect Diagram
23 | P a g e
2.3.2 Pareto Chart
Pareto Chart is a cumulative histogram and it has the 80-20
principle rule, it shows that the
important 20% of the (x) s causes 80% of the effect on the
response (y) cycle time. I have used
that chart to graphically summarize and display the relative
importance of the differences between
groups of data.
48. Figure 9 Pareto chart
From Pareto chart, we found 80% of the delay days is caused by
tasks 2, 4, 3 and 5, which
they represent, half of the tasks that are supposed to be done to
pick up one job from the customer.
After analyzing these steps, I found that the miscommunication
between the customer and agility,
so the communication takes time between customer service,
Agility and the customer .Also, the
customers’ requirements was not clear to Agility and unspecific
from the customers.
2.4 IMPROVE PHASE
The purpose of improve phase is to identify, test and implement
a solution to the problem in
part or in whole. The goal of this step is to determine the
appropriate solutions to implement using
objective means, rather than making a decision based on
assumptions or preferences. This is a
common theme throughout the Six Sigma methodology.
24 | P a g e
49. After analyzing the data from the Cause and Effect Diagram
and Pareto Chart, we can see
that the most serious factor in delaying the process is
communications, unspecific customers’
requirements the and untrained drivers. A suggested solution for
this is to provide and clarify the
customer gate pass requirements, redesign the process to reduce
communications & determine the
responsibilities for each element in the loop.
2.4.1 Replacement the New Process
The new process is to redesign the process with connects
Agility and the customers. In
addition, the new process has rearranged the responsibilities
between the elements. The new
process is shown in figure bellow.
Figure 10 New Process Map
Also, the new process is create a sheet requirement for each
customer that will has the
contact person in each site who will support pick up/delivery
50. process from beginning to the end.
25 | P a g e
Figure 11 Example of sheet requirement (SEC Customer)
Figure 12 Example of sheet requirement (MARAFIQ Customer)
In order to minimize the communication between Agility and
GEMTEC due to identify the
tuck type of the transportation. I created a sheer that can be
determine the truck type by choosing
26 | P a g e
the parts. In the figure, bellow shows the truck sheet In this
sheet we have two the component
and set which provide from customer, then the truck type will
be determined
Figure 13 Truck Selector for Example Dyan Truck
51. Figure 14 Truck Selector for Example F Bed Truck
Percentage of improvement = (7-1)/7 = 0.86 *100 = 86% of the
process time waste are
eliminated
27 | P a g e
2.4.2 After Implementing the New Process
After Implementing the New Process, I had a meeting with
Agility and GEMTEC in
order to evaluate the improvement .We face problems that effect
on the new process which are
packing list and trucks type that need to pick up / delivery.
The packing list is identify papers should be on the boxes of
part. The customer would not
allow the boxes to be in site without packing list
Figure 15 Old Packing List
The problem of the old parking list was made of two papers due
to one of them might be
52. missed because the bad weather through the transportation. The
new packing list has one side
page that is shown in the figure below
28 | P a g e
Figure 16 New Packing List
2.5 CONTROL PHASE
The purpose of this step is to sustain the gains. Monitor the
improvements to ensure
continued and sustainable success. Create a control plan.
Update documents, business process
and training records as required.
2.5.1 Control Phase Steps
The Control phase is comprised of three steps:
1. Standardization.
2. Mistake-proofing.
3. Giving control of the process back to the process owner.
53. 2.5.1.1 Standardization
Who is involved at the revised steps of the process?
Customer service, Agility and GEMTEC is involved in the
revised steps of the process.
29 | P a g e
What should they be doing after standardization of the revised
standard operating
procedures?
1. Agility drivers should participate in the training affectively
2. More authorization should be given to the employee to be
more productive
3. Customer service department should consider costumer’s
awareness and the
requirements as priority
4. Agility should be interacted with the customers
5. The truck selector sheet should be used by Agility
Why should they follow the revised standard operating
procedures?
54. 2.5.1.2 Mistake-proofing
In order to prevent the mistake or errors of transportation time
by providing proper training
for the drivers so it will be qualified, and following the new
process, and prevent the mistake in
any transportation
2.5.1.3 Giving control of the process back to the process owner.
This concludes the project and the process will now be turned
over to the process owner
with the suggestions and improvements to be implemented and
then see the improvement tools to
measure the improvement and sustain the gain by good control.
2.6 CONCLUSION
I had a great achievement on improving the logistics process of
transporting gas turbine
components from the GE repair facility to several customer sites
55. in Saudi and minimize the delay
days by 86% by applying Sex Sigma methodology .It was a very
helpful project to expand my
knowledge and get involved with the work applied to
understand more and more. I led several
team members from different functions to achieve faster cycle
of delivery and reduce process
defects Finally I just want to thank my GE managers Ammar
masuod for his support in this
project and all of team member for their Cooperation.
30 | P a g e
After the project is implemented, I have received an
Appreciation letter from GE country
manager. In addition, I have received an award form my
manager Ammar Musoud

3.1 BACKGROUND
Grit blasting, or sand blast cleaning, is a surface treatment
process widely used in a variety
of different industries with many diverse purposes. Abrasive
blasting is the process by which an
57. abrasive media is accelerated through a blasting nozzle by
means of compressed air. The abrasive
used varies based on the surface treatment required
Figure 19 Grit Blasting Machine
3.2 INTRODUCTION
Time is important in work systems because of its economic
significance. On any job, most
workers have paid money based on the time they consumed. For
any system to operate efficiently,
it is important to know how much time should be required to
accomplish a given amount of work.
3.3 PROBLEM STATEMENT
Due to the environmental, health and safety, (EHS) concern and
wasting time from the heavy
weight of the shanks metal mask, which are, took time to
assemble and disassemble and difficulty
of handling and moving
33 | P a g e
58. 3.4 WORK SYSTEM MEASUREMENT
The work measurement is the application of techniques designed
to establish the time for an
average worker to carry out a specified manufacturing task at a
defined level of performance. It is
concerned with the length of time it takes to complete a work
task assigned to a specific job.
3.4.1 Standard Time
Standard time is the time required by an average skilled
operator, working at a normal pace,
to perform a specified task .It includes appropriate allowances
to allow the person to recover from
fatigue and, where necessary, an additional allowance to cover
contingent elements which may
occur but have not been observed. There are several methods by
which standard times can be
calculated for a given task. The following figure can be used to
determine time standards:
Figure 20: Standard Time Methods
Figure 21 Relative Accuracy of Time Standards
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatigue_%28medical%29
59. 34 | P a g e
As shown in figure (12) the standard is more accurate
measurement techniques to calculate.
There are many ways to calculate the standard time of a given
job, in this problem the Direct Time
Study technique is used to do work measurement
3.4.2 Direct Time Study
Direct time study is a study of the operational steps or
production procedure and the time
consumed by them, for the purpose of devising methods of
increasing efficiency or productivity
of workers. Also, Measures the time required to perform a task
so that an output standard of
production for a worker or a machine could be established. The
following table is the data that is
observed for direct time studies several times by a stopwatch.
The observed time is Grit blasting
one bucket by assembling and disassembling the bucket shank
mask. The normal time (Tn) is
calculated by multiplied the observed time by labor performance
60. rate which is 120%. The standard
time (Tstd) is calculated by multiplied the normal time by
allowance factor (Apfd) rate, which is
15%.
Tstd = Tn(1 + pfd ) where pfd = personal time, fatigue, and
delays

4.1 INTRODUCTION
As a coop trainee GE support, all coop students to have a great
chance and get involved with
site visits to several power plants. In Power plant # 7 the
generator of Gas Turbine 19 with frame
7E was damage 2 years ago and accordingly it caused damages
to Turbine internal parts, so there
should be major inspection (Outage) for all the unit’s parts in
order to maintain this unit.
4.2 FIELD SERVICE ENGINEERS
Field Engineers are involved in the installation and service of
gas turbines, steam turbines,
99. generators and turbine control equipment. They have the unique
opportunity to develop proficient
technical, commercial and leadership skills that are highly
transferable to any future career path
within the power generation industry.
4.3 OUTAGE DEFINITION
Outage is to fully shut-down the unit for maintenance. There are
two categories outage .First
one is planned outage with a particular planed date for it
.Second one is forced outage, which
happens accidentally while the unit is running.
4.4 OUTAGE KINDS
There are four kinds of outages:
1. Major inspection
2. Hot Gas path inspection
3. Combustion inspection
4. Advanced hot gas Path inspection
4.5 FIELD SERVICES EXPERIENCE
I had been working in different site during my coop. one of
100. them in Jeddah power plant
and the in Rabigh power plant .Both of them I had different
responsibilities and role
4.5.1 Jeddah Power Plant Outage
The outage in Jeddah power plant was about rewind the
generator stator. This was planned
outage. The planning for this outage was before I start my
Coop. The execution of the outage was
during my coop. My role was site coordinator. I was responsible
for the manpower and their gate
passes. Also, I was responsible for materials inspection and
their gate passes .Also, I had to prepare
60 | P a g e
a daily brief summary during the execution. In addition, I was
learning and trainee on turbine
sections and their components

101. Figure 36 Figure 37 Generator Stator after Rewind
61 | P a g e
4.5.2 Rabigh Power Plant Outage
Rabigh outage was a forced outage, because the stator blades
have damaged. This problem
caused a failure in the unit and some damages in buckets.
During this outage, I was learning many
technical information about the turbine stator and how they are
installation the bucket blades on
the stator. In addition, how they are measure the error and can
deal with any problem they might
be faced I spent last week of coop there and I asked for one-
week extension to be in site more.

5.1 SUMMARY
This report was mainly focus on Quality Improvement and
Productivity & Engineering
Design. In addition, there were a many tasks, which were given
besides these projects. I
summarized this report into two main Projects .First project was
applying lean sex sigma in order
to improve the logistics process of transporting gas turbine
components from the GE repair facility
(GEMTEC) to several customer sites in Saudi. In this project, I
applied DMAIC Tools were used
to define the problem and measure normality of the data. Then I
analyzed the data by using Pareto
chart & cause and effect Diagram. In Improve phase, I redesign
the process to connect Agility and
103. the customers Also, to create a sheet requirement for each
customer and create truck selector to
determine the truck type. Finally, in Control phase was the
importance phase, which sustain the
gain if standardization, mistake-proofing and giving control of
the process back to the process
owner are used. The second project was mainly focus on
Eliminating EHS concern and wasting
time from the heavy weight of the shanks metal mask in order to
increase labor productivity and
cycle time. I used direct time study in order to calculate
standard time .Then I developed a new
design with 3 alternatives. Modified Pugh’s concept selection
method is used to select the preferred
design and final modification will be implemented.
5.2 CONCLUSION
GE has gave great training program, which was very helpful for
me to improve my technical
and general skills into direction. In addition, it was wonderful
experience period to be more
knowledgeable and to get involved with a real work
environment. I was giving an access to all the
data and the information needed that support me in my projects
104. and the tasks that I had been
working during my training. I have involved in customer
meetings, field opportunity and
GEMTEC visit. Moreover, I learnt how to practice industrial
engineering in one of the best
companies in the world. By the end of seven months report , I
would to thank all of GE employee
and my coop advisor for their support , encouragement and
advise .

CHAPTER1: INTRODUCTION
General Electric
111. GE traces back to Thomas A.Edison who established Edison
Electric Light Company in 1878. In 1892, a merger of Edison
General Electric Company and Thomson-Houston Electric
Company created General Electric Company. GE is the only
