Measurement StrategyAs part of your OIP, you will need to propose a measurement
strategy. This strategy will be used to measure the effectiveness of the
new process you are proposing for use in the Toyota Motor Company circa
2010. Different measurement strategies will define and quantify
outcomes in different ways, so you want to be intentional about
selecting the right way to measure the efficiencies gained through your
improvements.PreparationBegin your work by researching potential ways to measure the specific
process that is the focus of your OIP. Consult the Resources and
conduct your own research in the Capella University Library and online.
Be sure to consider both qualitative and quantitative measurements. As
you do so, consider the following about the measurement strategies you
review:What are they measuring?What does improvement look like according to that measurement?What kind of information and data is needed to effectively employ that measurement?InstructionsCraft a report detailing the measures you will use to gage the
effectiveness of your OIP and your overall strategy for implementing
those measures. Your report should include the following:An explanation of two quantitative and/or qualitative measures you
will employ in your measurement strategy and why you selected them for
your particular OIP.A brief description of how each measurement will define and quantify the outcomes of your proposed improvements.An outline of your proposed measurement strategy for gaging the
effectiveness of your OIP. Be sure to include how and when you will
gather the data necessary for making these measures. Your measurement
strategy should combine and order your selected measures in a meaningful
way in order to help you understand the impact of your OIP. In your
overall strategy, be sure to address how your measurement strategy will
help you determine if the results of your OIP are positive, help you
ensure that your process does not have an unanticipated negative impact
elsewhere, and help you assess if further process change is needed.Note: Please review and update cause-and-effect diagram and process flowchart in each assessment.The work you do for this report should inform your work in future
assessments. You will also draw on it for the final, comprehensive OIP
that you will submit in Assessment 6.Additional RequirementsLength of report: 2–3 typed, double-spaced pages.APA formatting: Format resources and citations according to APA style and formatting.Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.Toyota Specific ResourcesGerondeau (2015).
