A company that uses the lean system attempts to achieve the highest degree of customer value and satisfaction by focusing on the processes in the organization and continuously improving them. The end goal of the lean system is to deliver excellent value to the customer through a process that has no waste (Keyser, 2009). The goal of a lean system is to eliminate disruptions, such as equipment breakdowns, changes to schedule, poor quality, and avoid late deliveries. In addition, a lean system should be flexible, meaning that it should be able to handle a mix of products and operate with some ambiguity. Besides, lean systems should have minimal lead and setup times. A lean system should also attempt to reduce waste and excess inventory (Keyser, 2009). Respect is one of the most important pillars of a collaborative team. Respect for people implies that one needs to recognize and show appreciation for what each team member brings to the table. Respect also means that the work environment is safe for people to talk openly about their concerns, problems, and expectations while also listening to others. It is important to understand that in order to have a functioning team, respect for other people is paramount (Smith, 2014). It is essential to train all of the workers in the organization about expectations for acceptable behavior, effective interpersonal skills, and how to manage any conflict that may happen in an organization appropriately. This is something that should be encouraged consistently amongst organizational leaders, members, different stakeholders, and the customers of the organization. Besides, when an organization initiates training programs to educate employees, it can help the employees and managers become more aware of how to act respectfully and respond to signals that workplace abuse may be occurring in their organization. This also means that it can become easier to correct undesired behavior when people are educated when it comes to mutual respect in the workplace (Smith, 2014). Data has revealed that when an organization promotes respect in the workplace. It can have many desired benefits. Indeed, it can result in better organizational health, higher employee morale, less sick leave, make the workplace more attractive for potential employees, and increase the retention of employees. More respect may also lead to increased productivity, increased profitability. Data also shows that more respect can also lead to a more robust corporate culture and reputation (Smith, 2014).

As a manager myself, I know how important respect for people is. I've been a surgical office manager for over five years. Dealing with patients is not easy; we all have different personalities. At times, you want to say something rude back. But, you learn to bite your tongue! I have an issue where my front desk has an accent when she speaks English; often, patients complain about it. I can sit here and tell you guys stories!! The things I've been told, said, insulted!; For no reason. Respect is something we learn growing up; it's not taught in school. It has a different meaning to everyone; that's one thing I've learned throughout the years. Health care deals with inequalities daily. Cultural competency is misleading (Stone,2008). Understanding we all have different cultures is crucial in this field. We deal with all kinds of cultures daily, understanding and comprehending everyone with respect. This topic will be great to compare and contrast how hospitals had dealt with COVID-19 versus when they didn't have a pandemic. Also, discuss patients' beliefs and attitudes. Discuss different treatments along with their beliefs and how they can affect the outcome. Reference: Stone, J. R. (2008).

In the scenario listed below there are at least four alleged crimes and at least one possible civil action. Review the scenario and identify these crimes and civil action.  In a 3 – 4 page paper (excluding title and reference pages), apply principles of criminal law to criminal justice practice.  Show an understanding of the civil liabilities of criminal justice agencies and practitioners.  Cite case law regarding the possible civil action that could be taken against the police officer, the department, and the city. Scenario: Police Officer Jones, in full uniform, was walking the midnight shift in a high-crime area at approximately 2:00 AM and is approached by a civilian who told Officer Jones she had been robbed and beaten by someone wearing a red shirt and white pants. The victim’s shirt was blood soaked from a severe laceration to her head and lip. She said the perpetrator was wearing a ski mask so she was unable to determine the gender/sex of the individual, as well as the race/ethnicity. However, she was able to inform Officer Jones that the perpetrator was approximately 5’8” tall and had a gun. The perpetrator stole her wallet and was holding it when he/she fled the scene, which was only a minute or two earlier. Officer Jones called for medical assistance and for backup as well. While waiting with the victim for medical personnel to arrive, Officer Jones spotted an individual that partially fit the description about a block away from the scene. Though it was very dark, Officer Jones observed the white pants and dark shirt. Officer Jones walked toward the individual, leaving the victim unattended. Medical and backup had not arrived. When Officer Jones was approximately 20 feet away he identified himself as a police officer and told him in a loud, clear voice, “Stop, Police! However, the individual refused to comply with Officer Jones’s commands and continued to walk away from Officer Jones. Officer Jones again shouted. “Stop, Police,” and the individual stopped. As As the individual stopped, he turned and faced Officer Jones, at which point saw a large bulge in the subject’s right front pocket. The subject, who was now approximately 7 feet from Officer Jones, refused to keep hands where Officer Jones could see them. The subject reached into his right front pocket and began to draw his hand out of his right front pocket. Officer Jones drew his weapon and fired at the individual, hitting him in the left shoulder. The individual fell to the ground and Officer Jones approached him and called for additional medical personnel. Officer Jones located a baggie filled with smaller baggies each filled with what appeared to be Cocaine and a cell phone. The individual was taken to the hospital and was labeled as stable. Detectives investigating the incident discovered that the person shot was not the perpetrator in the alleged strong-armed robbery. They also discovered that the victim lied and was actually involved in a domestic violence incident and did not want her husband to be arrested.
