The primary objective of this course is to enable you to apply the theories and frameworks that we cover in class to ethical dilemmas you may encounter in your everyday life. To encourage you to view the world through an ethical lens, you will be required to submit two application papers. For each paper, you will identify an ethical dilemma—either something that you have recently faced in your life (at work, in school, etc.), or something that you read or hear about on the news. You will then write one/two paragraph in which you briefly describe the event and all relevant ethical issues, and the rest of your paper you will apply one or more of the theories from class to analyze the dilemma and form a recommendation for how the dilemma should be resolved. You will need to turn in both of these short papers (2-3 pages, DOUBLE spaced)   No late papers will be accepted.  Any student who uses a student’s paper from a previous semester will be automatically failed from the course.  Week%204.0_Justice%20and%20fairness.pptx Week%203.0_Values%20and%20theories.pptx

But I have found this class very informative and look forward to using what I learn.One of my favorite tools was learning how to screen for a Six Sigma project (1). At my previous employer, I've noticed that leaders focused on issues that were not really issues at all. This seems to be very common for the Director of Nursing who operates off of emotion rather than focusing on aligning with the company's goals. She chooses to focus on issues that have upset her at that moment rather than on issues that adversely affect the facility. From this course, I learned the importance of identifying a recurring issue, ensure that it is specific and measurable, has a significant operational or financial impact, and aligns with the goals of the facility (1). Unfortunately, implementing anything new to Administration is not easily received. Fear of having the Director of Nursing quit takes precedent over handling any issues. The Administrator will not prioritize projects to launch (1), rather allow the Director of Nursing to handle things that are have not been properly screened. A second tool I liked was the Triple E model (2). The facility does not enable, empower, or encourage its employees. They do not remove obstacles that prevent the staff from doing their job (1). If they have an employee that everyone complains about, they do nothing to help make the situation better. We have an outside company that does surveys and one particular employee repeatedly received bad reviews. They have had family members complain about her in person. They have had staff complain about her. But because she is an RN and reports to work every day, they keep her on, despite the number of complaints. Residents have to be reassigned because they do not want her to care for them. Aides hate to work with her. How is this enabling the staff. It's causing more confusion. They do not empower or encourage staff. Instead, they are disciplined for every little thing. They do not have the support of the Administrator, because he will never go against his Department Heads. If they complain, they are seen as a bad employee and basically have a target on their back until they either get fired or so fed up that they quit. The complete opposite of what Triple E means. I think that when I re-enter the workforce, I will be able to apply many of the OE tools. I have learned the importance of DMAIC (1): 1. Defining the problem and developing the goal statements. What should the outcome of the project be and what is the timeframe for accomplishing the goal?2. Measuring the size and scope of the problem or performance gap. How big, bad, or widespread is the problem?3. Analyzing why there is a problem.4. Improving the problem by addressing it and then finding a solution. 5. Controlling the key factors to ensure that goal is sustainable. "Kaizen is really about improve, sustain...forever" (3). And that's what I want to carry forward into my professional performance. To constantly improve and sustain both myself and the company I work for, always grow in my career, always strive for operational excellence.Crystal Source1. LinkedIn Video. 2020.

PI in Your Organization. 2.Nichola Camacho RE: Week 10 DiscussionCOLLAPSEHi Dr. Bateh and ClassmatesLessons Learned in Operational ExcellenceWhat are your key takeaways from this course?There were a lot of takeaways that I learned from this course. The key takeaways from this course that I will briefly discuss are first and foremost, learning how to do a value stream map. This was extremely important to me because it allowed me to see the process flow of how long the work gets done from beginning to end. How to do the work, eliminate waste time from the work, why the quality of work, and the importance of inventory and customers. Also, continuously finding ways to improve my organization (1).What are your favorite tools that you studied in this course? What do you like most about them?I have many favorite tools that I studied in this course. However, I will briefly discuss Kaizen, FMEA, and Process Flow Diagram. To simply put it, Kaizen is a just do it mentality. It is mainly all about improving and sustaining forever. FMEA is one of my favorites because it allows me to identify the root cause of a problem. It is a structured approach that begins by identifying all possible things that can go wrong or the failure modes of your process or product or even service. And Process flow Diagram because it is about continuous improvement. It represents everything that happens in a proceeding and must be completed before embarking on process improvement (2). This explains what is being done and provide a document that can be used to communicate process changes.How have you applied, or how will you apply, these tools? If applicable, what results were achieved?I was able to map out a value stream map of my department and how we conduct our investigation from start to finish and it time frame it takes to get it done as demonstrated in my assignment “Part A, B, and C”. My colleagues were impressed and we began conducting phone and web interviews to speed up our process and eliminate waste time. I am truly excited about this. This is exactly how I have applied what I have learned! We are no longer sitting around waiting for days for the legal and union representative to find time to come into our office to represent their clients. What impact has this operational Management course had on your professional performance?The impact that this course had on my professional performance is that it allowed me to apply some of what I learned as well as sharing what I learned. For example, I began to take the opportunity and step up to the plate and take ownership of my duties. I began to take a good handle on what I was responsible for. I began to take a closer look at the employees who are filing the complaints and map out the quickest ways to respond to them. I began to look at why quality matters and the effect it would have on our department. I am so impacted by this course that I am always looking at every organization I am somehow associated with to see if they were operating in operational excellence/management and then telling myself what they should be doing better. I truly appreciate this course.ReferenceJWMI 550. Week 10, Lesson.

Competency 1: Using Visuals to Enhance Viewer PerceptionAnalyze and interpret perceptual elements of visual media communication to identify effective visual messages.InstructionsYou have been hired by a large law enforcement agency to analyze the images used on advertising billboards in both urban and suburban regions. The billboards visually display a new campaign message to improve neighborhood safety.During your analysis, you find that the images used on billboards in the urban areas are exactly the same as the images used in the suburban areas. Both images show parents happily talking with law enforcement officers while children run over green lawns having a fun balloon fight. You decide that these images are not sending proper perceptual messages. You decide to create a visual analysis video for the law enforcement agency to share with the administration.For the video visual analysis, you realize you will need to find two new images that are quite different from one another. One image will be used on the urban billboard, and the other image will be used on the suburban billboard. In your video presentation, you will compare and contrast how each image utilizes the following:Compare and contrast the visual elements of cultural familiarity. Explain why it is important to use culturally familiar visuals that are quite different in the urban and suburban billboard images. Include specific visuals in your visual analysis.Identify specific visual examples of the following cognitive elements: memories, experiences, and expectation. Compare and contrast how urban and suburban viewers may be affected differently by those specific cognitive visual elements.Explain the difference between urban and suburban viewers' emotionally engagement with each of the billboard images.Identify visual semiotic codes in both images: metonymic, analogical, displaced, and condensed. Discuss the importance of using these codes. Include specific visuals in each part of your visual analysis.Note: You may use any visual and audio screen sharing tool to make the videos; if you do not have a preferred tool, an Internet search will provide a number of free versions to choose from.As you outline your ideas for the video, you decide to record your verbal analysis while analyzing the two visuals in less than seven minutes for added clarity. Also, in order to send it to diverse users, you decide to upload your video presentation to YouTube and submit the link for everyone in the agency to have easy access for review.IMPORTANT NOTE: FOR THIS COMPETENCIES NOT NEED THE VIDEO, THE WRITTEN PART TO INSERT IN THE VIDEO ONLY. THE VIDEO I WILL CREAT IT. JUST NEED THE IMAGES AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS IN WRITTEN COMMUNICATION AND I WILL USE YOUR WORDS TO MAKE A VIDEO AS COMPETENCY REQUIRED. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE A VIDEO!! WRITE THE PROPER COMPARISON TO BE CREATE AFTER BY MY VOICE ON IT. UNDERSTAND? THANKS-********* CRUCIAL INFORMATION*******Thoroughly compares and contrasts the cultural familiarity elements in both urban and suburban images using specific visual examples. Accurately analyzes the cognitive elements and viewer effects in both urban and suburban images using specific visual examples. Thoroughly analyzes the emotional engagement of urban and suburban viewers using specific visual examples. Accurately analyzes the semiotic codes in both urban and suburban images using specific visual examples.Competency 2: Enhancing Messages with VisualsInvestigate and modify workplace visual media communication to enhance efficiency in completing tasks.InstructionsYou work for a marketing organization that has taken on a new client. The new client is originally an American company which targets American clients. However, with the current trends, this company realizes it needs to extend into global operations.Your task is to create two logos for this new client and submit a video presentation for the marketing team to review. Create an original, American-style logo, and then create a more globalized version of that logo. Since most of the company's global clients come from India, design the global logo to reflect the visual preferences that might appeal to that specific global audience. When designing the logos, utilize the following visual communication elements:Logo sizeLogo color schemeLogo symbols/symbolismLogo iconic meaningThe marketing team has specified that the video presentation should be less than three minutes in length, and be created using a screen share to show both your visuals and audio analysis, and that it be uploaded to YouTube for easy accessibility. They have also sent an email stating the following items need to be addressed:The main objective is to present your two logos and address how they strategically and effectively use the visual communication elements itemized.Be sure to compare and contrast how differently American and Indian target audiences may respond to these logos.Discuss why your marketing organization should consider the importance of using the visual elements you visually designed for these logos.Note: You may use any visual and audio screen sharing tool to make the videos; if you do not have a preferred tool, an Internet search will provide a number of free versions to choose from.IMPORTANT NOTE: FOR THIS COMPETENCIES NOT NEED THE VIDEO, THE WRITTEN PART TO INSERT IN THE VIDEO ONLY.
