  • Module 4

    this assignment, you will apply what you have learned about key concepts regarding operations management. You are encouraged to leverage your work and instructor feedback on this assignment in your course project, which is due in Module Seven.

    Scenario

    You are the chief supply chain officer at NationaliTeas, a large international corporation that manufactures and sells tea worldwide. Its mission is to Make the world more awake through rejuvenating and refreshing beverages and sustainable practices that uplift workers, communities, and souls. You have recently hired the companys first project manager and assigned their first project: Revise workflows in use related to packaging at one of your tea factories to be more sustainable and leaner. As this is their first project, you will be helping them complete the task.

    Directions

    Read the Project Charter for Workflow Improvement, then review the Process Workflow for Tea Production graphic. These documents are linked below under Supporting Materials. A text-only version is available: Process Workflow for Tea Production Text-Only Version. Based on these documents, recommend removing a total of four steps from the process flowchart that can help make the process more efficient and sustainable. Explain the implications of the proposed changes and then help the NationaliTeas team address existing items in the Issue Log located in the project charter.

    Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

    • Lean Manufacturing: Evaluate the process flowchart to identify steps that do not add value based on the principles of lean manufacturing. Explain why you selected each step.
    • Sustainability: Evaluate the process flowchart and identify steps that should be removed or changed to improve environmental sustainability. Explain why you selected each step.
    • Process Changes: Explain the implications, both positive and negative, of removing or changing the steps from the process flowchart you identified in the previous two bullet points. Also, explain how those changes would help alignment to the triple bottom line (TBL).
    • Issue Log: Analyze all entries in the Issue Log from a project manager’s perspective. Explain the recommended course of action based on the project charter, noting the impact of the issue on scope, planning communications, and resourcing.
    • Operations Management Techniques: Discuss how operations management techniques, including project management and lean manufacturing, can add value to the organization, NationaliTeas.

    What to Submit

    Submit this assignment as a 350- to 500-word Microsoft Word document. Sources should be cited according to APA style.

    Supporting Materials

    The following resources support your work on the project:

  • Height data analysis

    Begin with the 10 heights provided to you by your instructor. To add 10 more values to your lab data, survey or measure 10 people to find their heights. Add these heights to the Week 5 Lab Template along with the 10 provided by your instructor. Determine the mean and standard deviation for the 20 values (your instructor’s 10 from Step 1A above plus your 10) by using the Week 3 Excel Spreadsheet. Post a screenshot of the portion of the spreadsheet that helped you determine these values. How does your height compare to the mean (average) height of the 20 values? Is your height taller, shorter, or the same as the mean of the sample? Give some background information on the group of people you used in your study. Use the following questions to guide your answers. How did you choose the participants for your study? What was the sampling method: systematic, convenience, cluster, stratified, simple random? What part of the country did your study take place in? What are the age ranges of your participants? How many of each gender did you have in your study? What are other interesting factors about your group? Use the Week 5 Excel Spreadsheet for the following: Use the Empirical Rule tab from the spreadsheet. Then, determine the 68%, 95%, and 99.7% values of the Empirical Rule in terms of the 20 heights in your height study. Post a screenshot of your work from the Week 5 Excel spreadsheet. What do these values tell you? Post another screenshot of your work from the Normal Probability tab from the Week 5 Excel spreadsheet. Based on your study results, what percent of the study participants are shorter than you? What percent are taller than you? (Example: If my height is 73 inches, then 20.86% of the relevant population is shorter. The other 79.14%, of course, is taller).

    Discussion 14 Discussion Prompt: Whats Fair and Whats Taxable? Fringe benefits like health insurance, gift cards, holiday parties, and even gym memberships can all have different tax treatments depending on how theyre structured. While some are fully tax-free, others (even small perks) may be subject to taxationespecially when they involve cash or cash equivalents. Prompt: Think about a benefit you’ve received in a job (or one youve heard about) that felt like a nice perk. Based on what youve learned, do you think it would be considered a taxable or nontaxable fringe benefit under IRS rules? Explain why, and identify what category (e.g., de minimis, working condition, qualified discount) it would fall into. Reply Requirements: Your original post should be at least 5 sentences long and apply at least one of the categories discussed in the reading or lecture. Respond to at least one classmate with a thoughtful comment (minimum 3 sentences) that builds on their example or offers another perspective. Make sure to use respectful, professional language. Bonus Thought: Do you think the IRS rules on fringe benefits are fair or confusing? Should small perks (like a $10 gift card) really be taxed?
