PROFESSIONALS ONLY PLEASE.

The company is Chick Fil A, This is a team assignment, and I only need the part that is bold and surrounded by the ****

I have also attached what my team has so far

Select a business where one of your team members works or one with which you are familiar to make sure you are able to gather data, and for which you can identify processes to improve.

Execute the define phase of the Six Sigma DMAIC project including the following:

• Identify customers and their priorities.
• Identify a project suitable for Six Sigma efforts based on:
• Business objectives.
• Customer needs and feedback. For example, if the team chooses a fast food chain, they could observe and record defects with preparation and delivery of the food, cleaning of the restaurant inside and out, including the rest rooms
• Productivity of the operation and quality of service measured by such metrics as: wait times per each customer from the time the order is made until the customer is handed their food, customers served per hour per total number of employees, number of errors made in products served vs ordered, friendliness of the staff, and cleanliness of the operation; including inside the restaurant, outside, in the rest rooms, tables, floors, waste baskets, etc.
• Identify and develop the problem statement.
• Identify CTQs (critical-to-quality characteristics) the customer considers to have the most impact on quality.

Execute the measure phase of the Six Sigma DMAIC project including the following:

• ****Determine the metrics to measure the process and how it is performing.***
• Identify the key internal processes influencing CTQs and measure the defects currently generated relative to those processes.

I want chapter 3 using APA style and bellow the instructions that the professor gave me:

Chapter 3 should start with an introduction to your topic that is unique. This introduction should not be a duplicate of the introduction you have from chapter 1 or 2. It should reintroduce the reader to your topic and the importance of the study. This introduction should reach a page length of at least 1 page. After this, the rest of your Chapter 3 is to persuade the reader of your overarching argument that knowledge transfer impacts organizational success. You’ll do this by identifying sub-arguments to make throughout Chapter 3 and you’ll use the research you provide in Chapter 2 to support each. You can only use research that you provide in Chapter 2 to make and support your arguments in Chapter 3.

So, if you find new information you want to include in Chapter 3, you need to make sure it is included in Chapter 2. Also, each sub-argument will not be the same headings you had in Chapter 2. Your sub-arguments will include research from each of your Chapter 2 sections and must be supported by multiple researchers. If you only use one researcher for your argument, it isn’t a very strong argument. So, be sure to have multiple through out your sub-argument to make it strong. Anything that is common knowledge does not need to have a citation but those things that are not common knowledge must have citations.

You will address the questions under Chapter 3 on your syllabus throughout your chapter but you will not use them as headings and you will not copy and paste them into your paper. They should be addressed when appropriate.

Then finish your Chapter 3 up by provided a conclusion of the sub-arguments you make throughout the chapter.

please be sure to use Purdue OWL as an additional resource.

Assignment Plan: Service Firm Selection Introduction

Many of us learn best when we apply theories and ideas to real life. As you work through the course, some of the activities and the five graded assignments will require you to put marketing concepts into action for a specific service firm.

At this time, you are expected to choose a service‐based firm and briefly justify your choice. As you work through the course, your chosen service firm will be the basis of your analysis. By applying the course concepts to this firm, you will develop a Services Audit Plan during the four assignments contained in Modules 2 to 5.

What Is a Services Audit Plan?

We use a Services Audit Plan to look at a service firm from many different perspectives and to analyze both the service product offered and the service firm itself. Centered on the 7 Ps, the Services Audit Plan is a comprehensive and independent review of the company’s marketing environment. Its purpose is to identify problem areas and opportunities enabling you, the marketing student, to develop recommendations for the firm on how to improve marketing performance in both the short‐ and long‐term.

Do not choose a firm that (in your opinion) is near “perfect” in their service offerings. It is hard to audit a firm that has no room for improvement.

Over Assignments 1 to 4, you will be asked to look at your chosen firm in some detail. With this in mind, it is important to pick a service firm from which you will be able to ethically collect information. For example, to create a Service Blueprint, a “behind the scenes” understanding of how the firm works is necessary. This might be obtained through physical site visits, interviews with key personnel, or a combination of these. It is strongly recommended that you pick a publicly held company versus a privately held company in order to have access to all types of information. And finally, having an interest in the service offered by the firm is much more motivating, so investigate a service that appeals to you.

Instructions

The purpose of your ungraded Assignment Plan is to select and receive approval of the service product and firm you will focus on in your later assignments. Review your journal to see if there are any service firms of particular interest to you and/or review the list of services below for inspiration.

Vacation travel Automotive repair Physical therapy treatment Car rental Restaurant Nursing Bed and breakfast stay Sports or music lessons series Weight‐loss program Adventure tour Day spa treatment Legal service Insurance service

House cleaning service Window washing service Hotel stay Tax preparation Dental service Fitness instruction program Movie theatre Live performance Dry cleaning service Daycare (for children or pets) Courier service Charity haircut

Although interesting, conducting a Services Audit on a fledgling firm or a new‐to‐ the‐world services company is not recommended, as access to existing information and experience is essential.

Try not to use your current place of employment for this project. It could potentially cause an ethical dilemma when accessing data. Remember, your company’s data were collected mainly for business purposes, not for a classroom project. It may violate Privacy Act.

In all of your interactions or communications with your chosen firm, it is important to keep all information shared with you confidential. Participating firms need to know critical information will not reach their competitors.

After choosing your service area of interest, prepare your Assignment Plan by completing the following:

1. Service Product Selected. Identify your chosen service and briefly describe it. If your service firm offers a number of service products and locations, select one service and one physical location you want to focus on. Indicate why this service is of particular interest to you.

1. Service Firm Selected. Provide the name of your company and your chosen location, indicating whether it is a privately or publicly held company (publicly held companies are strongly preferred to privately held firms). Include the name of the parent organization, if relevant.

As part of later assignments, you will be required to evaluate the global competitive environment in which the service firm competes. For now, identify two or three opportunities and threats, respectively, facing your chosen firm.

1. Customer Encounter. The Services Audit Plan evaluates a service firm by applying all 7 Ps of the marketing mix. Specifically, the three new Ps are applied to your firm to identify both customer service successes as well as opportunities for improvement. Outline who the typical consumer for this service is, and describe a typical service encounter a consumer has with this firm, mentioning any customer gaps which may be occurring.

Please take a few minutes to review these assignment guidelines:

• Answer all parts of each of the assigned questions.
• Create headings (and subheadings) in each section. (Do not repeat the questions in your paper.)
• Complete all assignments in MS Word using 12‐point Arial font, double line spacing, and use APA style.
• Name your file as follows:

Reflect on the assigned readings for the week. Identify what you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s), and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding.

Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:

1. If you are a project manager and have the choice of forming your core team either before or after charter approval, which would you do and why?
2. In your opinion, what are the three most important items in your project charter? How did each help you plan your project better?
3. Upon seeing the rough draft of your charter, your project sponsor asks you to move the finish date up by two months. What do you do?

Week 7 Assignment 4: Email Revisions

Due Week 7 and worth 100 points

Revise the two (2) emails below to remove problematic content and help these students construct polite, effective email messages instead.

Scenario 1:

Susan is unhappy with her grade in her college class. She wants to clarify what she can do to improve in the course. She also feels like venting her frustrations to her professor due to the many hours she is spending studying and writing papers (which may or may not be a good idea). She decides to email her professor; however, before she hits SEND, she asks you, her friend, to take a look at the email.

Reading the email, you note a lack of civility, polarizing language, and other unethical language (given the context). Help Susan rewrite her email, so she can express her concerns over her poor grade politely and ask for help from the professor.

Susan’s Email:

(No greeting) I want to know why my grade was so bad. I spent hours finding sources and writing that paper and it was graded unfair. My friend wrote her paper the night before it was due and got a better grade. I know most professors grade hard but this is ridiculous. I felt good when I submitted the paper but now I feel like crap. I guess I am going to fail. (No closing)

Scenario 2:

Don is worried about passing his college class due to some low grades. He wants to ask his professor for help to pass the class. He decides to email his professor; however, before he hits SEND, he decides to ask you, his friend, to take a look at the email.

Reading the email, you note a lack of civility, poor manners, and poor grammar in Don’s email. Help Don rewrite the email, so he can express his concerns and appropriately seek help from the professor.

Don’s Email:

(No greeting) Yo teach. I dunno no way to pass this class. What I gotta do to pass? (No closing)

Instructions:

1. Create two (2) new email messages of one to two (1-2) paragraphs each for a total of two to four (2-4) paragraphs.

Question to answer

Insider threats are on the rise in every industry. Should technology be dealing with this issue or should credibility checks be increased? You can only provide so much limitation of access, the employees still need to work overall. Thoughts?

Response is based on.

Frank L., Greitzer R. & Hohimer, E.(2011). Modeling Human Behavior to Anticipate Insider Attacks. Journal of Strategic Security, Volume IV Issue 2 2011, pp. 25.

Modeling Human Behavior to Anticipate Insider Attacks.

And this post.

Insider threat has been a major issue facing various industries and organizations where it has rapidly grown in the recent years. The main challenge is the difficulty in preventing and detecting it and this article has provided important information that explains the scenario types and behaviors which lead to insider threat. Frank, Greitzer & Holimer (2011) makes arguments concerning the difficulties of picking up the trail which I agree with. It becomes hard to determine whether these threats are deceptive or whether one should take serious precautions. However, when a threat is evident, serious measures should be taken before this person is able to execute his plan. An individual cannot determine the state of mind of a person to know whether they have any mental issues but there are few reasons that explain why it becomes challenging with regard to picking up the trail before the fact such as Inadequate data in real-world situations which carries some truth so that there can be scientific validation and verification of the solutions proposed, challenges in determining malicious and legitimate behavior, and the presence of a large amount of data.

Occasionally, damage to organizations sites is carried out by people with a personal interest and those who might have worked in the company since they are aware of important systems present.

Insider threat has been a big threat as suggested by Hohimer, Frank, and Greitzer and I agree with them. There is inefficient data to be used so that patterns can be identified in order to recognize insider threat before damage occurs. However, I do not believe that the technological measures discussed in the article would completely eradicate this threat. People will still device new ways to carry out insider threat thus more research is still needed.

In the course scenario, it stated the following: CMA rebounded and continued to manufacture and sell its components to computer manufacturers worldwide. The company structure was divided into product divisions, with each division focused on specific components. For the company, this structure was meant to streamline sales and delivery worldwide.

As happens on occasion, there were some factors that had an effect on company profits, but the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Jared Smith, was in a position to focus on several internal strategic areas, including structure, work design, motivation, conflict, and company culture as a whole. To stay profitable, the company had to eliminate several management positions in an effort to flatten the organizational chart. Many of the responsibilities fell to the employees, and many people resisted the change.

The vice presidents (VPs) are reading the information about theories of motivation that you sent them. You know, because they have been asking questions, most of which revolve around expatriates. These questions from the VPs tell you that they are now ready to address cultural differences and how they relate to preparing staff for cross-cultural work environments.

Again, Jared, your CEO, states that “the presentation you will create will explain cultural differences, intercultural differences, and culture and diversity. I’ll also need you to include a slide about steps that managers at CMA should take to prepare expatriates for assignments overseas.”

PowerPoint Presentation: 8–10 slides (100 to 150 words per slide of speaker notes)
