Create a Current State Value Stream Map (VSM)
In this exercise, you will learn how to create a current state value stream map for CK&N, Inc., a peanut butter and jelly sandwich factory. Based on the Lean Enterprise Institutes philosophy, “Whenever there is a product for a customer, there is a value stream. The challenge lies in seeing it,” CK&N wanted to map their current value stream so that they could make improvements to it as necessary in the future. You and your team are tasked with following the steps below to create the CK&N peanut butter sandwhich process.
Step 1: Calculate takt time in seconds. Don’t proceed until this step is done. Use the following formula to calculate Takt time for your process:
(Available Minutes for Production – Minutes for breaks, meetings, etc./ Required Units of Production)*60 = Takt Time
In our example, we have a daily demand of 700 pieces with the following arrangement.
Hours per shift: 8
Break minutes per shift: 30
Shifts per day: 1
Days per week: 5
The takt time will tell you how many seconds it will take to produce a completed PB&J sandwhich. Takt Time = _________s.
Step 2: Have a big piece of paper, pencils and erasers ready. You can use software to draw your VSM, however, it is recommended that you always draw the map on paper first. An 11”x17” paper will work best for this exercise.

Write a 1000 word essay
*Details: It is not unusual for organizations to have several people in leadership roles who participate in collaborative decision making for the benefit of the entire organization. Leading teams of diverse individuals is a significant challenge and negotiating individual strengths, weaknesses, and personalities can be difficult. Nonetheless, as managers it is your responsibility to effectively lead teams through establishing expectations designed to motivate individuals, fostering critical decision-making skills, and improving communication and collaboration among teammates. For the assignments, as part of the management team at a successful, regional airline, West Coast Transit, you have been directed to form a team for a high-stakes, high-pressure project. Together, the management team will come to a consensus and a recommendation will be delivered to the director. In assigned teams, individuals should share their recommendations for a team of six people from the given teammate profiles. Begin by reading "West Coast Transit Company Profile" and "West Coast Transit Team Member Profiles." (ATTACHED) Based on your understanding of the company, the project, and the people involved propose your team selection. Your proposal should be accompanied by a 1,000 words explanation that addresses the following: 1.Why did you team select the six team members? Why did you decide against the others? 2.Considering the diverse factors that may influence the behavior of the selected team members, what specific strategies will the management team use to motivate this particular team of individuals? Why do you think they will work? What motivational strategies does the management team think would be ineffective for this team? Why? 3.What particular challenges or conflicts can the management team anticipate this team facing? What strategies might you apply to manage this team's potential conflicts? (You will learn more about conflict management in Topic 5. It is acceptable to make relevant speculations based on what you know about the team members and conflict management at this point. You will have the opportunity to solidify your conflict management strategies in your Topic 5.) 4.Finally, summarize management team's vision for the success of this team. Based on what you have identified as the selected team's particular strengths and weaknesses, which specific leadership strategies might you apply to ensure that the vision is ultimately successful? **The team that I would choose for this project is: William, Elizabeth, Katelyn, Doug, Natalie, and Bob. ***This assignment uses a Grading Scale checklist (attached). Please review the Grading Scale checklist prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. ****See Attached Documents to assist with this assignment. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style. An abstract and references are not required.

What Does a Change-Ready Organization Look Like?
Read the following scenario about Kaiser Permanente’s Innovations Consultancy section from Ch. 12, “The Effective Change Manager: What Does It Take?,” of Managing Organizational Change: A Multiple Perspectives Approach:Scenario: Kaiser Permanente’s Innovations ConsultancyLew McCreary (2010) describes how Kaiser Permanente, a managed care consortium based in Oakland, California, has developed a novel approach to innovation and improvement. The company set up its own internal Innovation Consultancy unit. This unit employs change experts to observe people, ask them how they feel about their work, take notes and photographs, make drawings, and identify better ways of doing things. This involves, McCreary (p. 92) suggests, “a combination of anthropology, journalism, and empathy,” exploring how staff and patients live, work, think, and feel before trying to solve a problem.A key part of the approach involves “uncovering the untold story”—finding out “what is really going on here?” For example, to prevent nurses being interrupted during medication rounds, and thus to reduce errors, a “deep dive” event was held, including nurses, doctors, pharmacists, and patients. The event generated around 400 ideas, some straightforward and some “outlandish.” This led to the design of a smock that said “leave me alone” on it (known as “no-interruption wear”) and a five-step process for ensuring the correct dispensing of medication.Another example concerned the exchange of patient information between nursing shifts. This used to take 45 minutes, and delayed the next shift’s contact with patients. In addition, nurses would compile and exchange information in idiosyncratic ways, potentially missing important details. The revised Nurse Knowledge Exchange is faster and more reliable, with new software and with information presented in standard formats.Members of the Information Consultancy unit do not dictate the changes that are to be made, but work with staff as “co-designers” on change projects. This approach allows Kaiser Permanente to achieve the aim of implementing innovation and change quickly and economically.Write a 525- to 700-word paper in which you:Identify processes, work units, interdepartmental committees, etc., within an organizational structure that are being evaluated by the Consultancy in order to promote a proactive approach toward change.Discuss what barriers you perceive existed within the segments of the consortium that hindered change prior to the innovative and improvement approach that was launched.Incorporate the underlying skill sets discussed in the case study. Draw upon your readings in Ch.12, “The Effective Change Manager: What Does It Take?”Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. Never use the first- or second- person perspective in APA style writing, including annotations (e.g., I, me, my, you, your, we, us, our).· Include the appropriate headings and subheadings.
