Professor comments

Strengths: Your work was submitted on time. There was a meaningful effort to meet expectations for the draft of a grant proposal. There was a description of the technology program to improve upon manufacturing processes at an organization where you serve as an assistant product manager. The need for technology support was explained. You outlined some activities that were necessary. A grantor would be curious to know more.

Opportunities for improvement: What is the organization's name? Since the organization seems to be a for profit entity, will you be able to identify grant funding sources?

Additional comments: As was reviewed during Chats 4 and 5, the Unit 4 IP serves as a critical foundation for the final assignment related to the key assignment, the Unit 5 IP. Feedback from classmates and the instructor will continue to be helpful for guiding your efforts. The Unit 4 and Unit 5 IPs provide you with meaningful opportunities to apply lessons learned to an initiative of interest for you while creating meaningful information to guide your supervisor’s decision about a grant opportunity for the department.

I look forward to reviewing your update of this IP, learning about funding opportunities for your proposed initiative, and reviewing your completion of selected sections of a grant proposal for the Unit 5 IP. Be proud of your efforts to date!

Our company manufactures and sells a soap product named “skin soft”. As a result of my hard work in the marketing department, the organization has promoted me to be the Assistant Product Manager. My responsibilities include assessment of product quality, tasks allocation, coordination and monitoring of employees among other duties as assigned to me by the manager. My entry to the new job position has come with a request from the manager to give a grant proposal on how to improve performance in production department. In that case, I have identified the primary challenge in the department which hinders high performance which is lack of modern technology to perform tasks and enhance communication. Outline of the Grant Proposal Topic: New Technology Implementation Program Introduction The proposal begins with definition of the problem identified in the department. Comparing our organization with other companies in the industry, we are using outdated technology to manufacture our product. This has led to low quality of our commodity, high production cost as well as low rate of production (Antonelli, 2014). These problems can be addressed by advancement in technology that will bring about changes in the department. Goals and Objectives The objectives to achieve with this grant proposal include; GRANT PROPOSAL 3 1. Easier and faster accomplishment of tasks 2. Improved efficiency in the production department 3. Production of high quality products 4. Effective communication On the other hand, the company will boost its competitive advantage in the long-run. It will also create a good reputation in the industry leading to a high market share. Program Action Plan The program will begin with purchasing of technological equipment and software. The production department requires manufacturing machines and software to make up a production system. These machines will be used by employees as working tools to improve their performance. The department will also require communication devices such as computers and monitoring screens to improve communication. The second stage of the program is implementation of technological devices purchased. At this stage, a technical team has to be involved in order to ensure proper installation of hardware and software. Thirdly, the program will involve training of employees to enhance their skills and knowledge in using available technology. The last step will be monitoring and evaluation of the new system and how it improves employees’ performance. As the Assistant Product Manager, I will have the obligation to monitor employees and evaluate the benefits enjoyed in the department as a result of the new system. New technologies come with new challenges. Therefore, I will be keen to identify emerging faults and issues and the find solutions to the problems. Evaluation will also help me identify required skills GRANT PROPOSAL 4 in the department which need more attention. Feedback from the employees on the new technological system will be highly recommended and utilized in the decision making process. Conclusion Improving performance in the production department will have an impact in the whole organization. It is the most critical department in the organization that determines growth and development of the company (Shea et al., 2014). The grant proposal will first be implemented in the production section and later applied to other departments in the firm. I believe the proposal will help in achieving organizational goals and objectives. GRANT PROPOSAL 5 References Antonelli, C. (2014).
