...Activity 3 Section 2: Process design and productivity A transition from strategy to results means the organization stops planning and begins executing. In the 21st century, the planning-to-execution step means transitioning faster. Time spent on planning must be efficient with planning outputs easily converted into executable actions. Many examples can be used to indicate an emphasis on planning. These include Just-In-Time and Lean Management. The organizations that were successful with these planning initiatives maintained a view of the roadmap towards implementation. Planning must be optimized and not allowed to continue for an unending period; otherwise, a point is reached after which there are diminishing returns. Moving from strategy to results emphasizes anticipatory management or a forecasting style of leadership. Thinking about what may happen during implementation aids in the establishment of contingencies. Environmental monitoring or scanning is also needed. Feedback must be anticipated and planned for integration into the current strategy. Required Reading: Chiplunkar, C., Deshmukh, S. G., & Chattopadhyay, R. (2003). Goel, S., & Chen, V. (2008).

...The Paper-Free Process Revolution Handbook Automating your manual (and paper-centric) processes will revolutionize your business—making it faster, flexible, and more responsive Edited and written by Betsy Fanning and Bryant Duhon Introduction Let’s get this straight from the beginning; using less paper isn’t just about “going green” or saving the rain forest. Using less paper in your business processes will revolutionize your business—making it faster, flexible, and more responsive to the needs of your customers. At least since the Sumerians wrote down transactions on baked clay tablets, documents have been the foundation of business. And while we no longer need to lug around those heavy clay documents (and watch out for water); if you’re using paper to manage your business then you aren’t any more efficient—or faster—than a civilization that existed 4,000 years ago. It doesn’t have to be this way. The technology is available. More importantly, the technology works. We have been scanning documents and moving them around business electronically for over 25 years; and that’s a good start. But, to match the pace of business today; content must be mobilized and harnessed for business use as soon as possible. Advances in scanning speeds, declining prices, and imaging and recognition software have combined to dramatically improve the concept of the digital mailroom—converting those inbound paper documents to digital format to directly feed business process; accounts payable...

...Consultation Process Based on the relevant research presented briefly in this paper, as a consultant, the next step is figuring out who to interview, finding agencies that have already adopted a model addressing cultural and linguistic concerns to see how their progress is going. As well as agencies who have not adopted a model but may need help seeking one. Lastly, reaching out to local individuals in the communities to get feedback on their thoughts about mental health services available to their usage in addition to their perception of satisfaction with services provided. After all, the goal is to implement interventions that will help remove such disparities. Focusing primarily on the urban areas of New York, I interviewed 3 clinicians...

...Process of Orientation for Nurses in the Maternity Unit Introduction Employee orientation is critical to all new staff employed in a new facility. Whether the profession is in nursing, retail, or management, employee orientation is essential. Orientation plays a critical role in improving an employee’s confidence and competence. Through this orientation the employee is able to get acquainted with other staff and obtain new information and skills that are required for his/her job. Without these skills and knowledge the employee cannot perform the duties that are required. Nursing is a profession with numerous specialties. Although basic nursing skills are required for all units different nursing skills are needed for specific specialties. Therefore, all nurses unfamiliar with that particular specialty will need orientation. The maternity unit is one specialty that requires skills and knowledge that are not common in other nursing specialties. These skills include the use of fetal heart monitors, uterine contraction monitors, assessment of patients in labor and cervical dilation, assessment of postpartum patients, and assessment of newborns. In addition to the need for learning new skills, orientation is also a requirement of the Joint Commission. Ludlow (2006) states that “guidelines delineated by the Joint Commission (JCAHO, 2003) support the need for all nurses to participate in an orientation program specific to their unit; even more so for those in...

...Preparing a Horse to Ride (Informational) Why does it take so long to get a horse ready to ride? Grooming is an essential part of the process. The whole purpose of cleaning the horse off before it is ridden is to make sure there is no dirt, cuts, or injuries on the skin and to keep your tack clean and well maintained. It isn’t healthy to wash a horse off with soap and water all the time, as it dries out the skin and hair. If the dirt is allowed to stay on the skin it will begin to look bad and may also cause crud. It’s not just about the ride, it’s about the proper care and health of your animal. It takes time to groom a horse and adjust the tack correctly, so the horse is comfortable and willing to work. Tack that is not properly adjusted can cause injuries to the horse and rider. The steps one takes in the process of preparing the horse to ride needs to flow in a specific order to save time in the long run. Following the steps that are prepared below will also help to create an everlasting bond between horse and rider. Begin by gathering all the necessary supplies that are needed and bring them to the location where the horse will be stationed for the grooming and tacking process. It’s convenient to have all of the grooming supplies in one container, make making sure everything needed in is in the container to begin with so there won’t be a need to take the ever so annoying trip back to the tack room for forgotten items. The container should include: a hard...

...Reflection Paper Assignments Due Dates: March 20, April 3, May 1 Overview These reflection papers are the chance for you to review your recent journal entries (or the sum total, if that helps) and to synthesize some thread of thinking or learning that you find in there. You might build on a single entry or on something bridging multiple entries, but the point is to capture something that you are learning. We expect the paper to have some over-arching, coherent argument so that it is not simply a string of thoughts. A string of thoughts is fine for your journal entries, but here we do want some synthesis. You should not spend time summarizing your activities, unless that is essential for your argument. Grading Criteria The criteria we will use to evaluate the papers are listed below. Note that you do not have to address all of these criteria in one paper. We want you to address all of them over the course of the semester, but any single paper can focus on only one or two of these. Regardless of what you choose to write your reflection synthesis on, your paper must demonstrate clear, coherent argumentation. 1. Expression of Learning 2. Discussion and/or synthesis of course readings 3. Reflection on assumptions and cultural frames of reference 4. Connection to proposal process Word Count The reflection papers, except for the final one, should be at least 500 words, but not a lot longer than that. The final paper should be around...

...“The Effectiveness of Saccharum spontaneum (Kans Grass) for the Production of Paper” Chapter I The Problem and it’s Setting Introduction Paper is very important to every man’s life. It is used by all types of people mostly students for personal or general purposes. That is why production of paper increases dramatically every year. Paper is made from the cellulose fibres that are present in hard wood and softwood plants. Usually, paper trees are being processed to produce paper. However, due to the rapid increase of the demands in paper, the source of these is being lessen little by little. Paper trees which is the main source of paper were cut and almost extinct. These facts gave the researchers the idea of conducting a research study entitled “The Effectiveness of Saccharum spontaneum (Kans grass) for the Production of Paper” that will be an alternative source of paper. Kans grass are suitable for making paper because it’s structure is just the same with the fibres that is used to make paper. Statement of the Problem This study was conducted to find an alternative source of paper making. It also aims to answer the following specific questions: 1. Is there a significa1nt difference on commercial paper and the paper made from Kans grass? 2. How may the paper made from Kans grass be described in terms of: 2.1) Cost 2.2) Availability 2.3) Efficiency Hypotheses Based on the problems stated, the following hypotheses...

...Decision Making Process Jeffrey Wentland MGT230 March 5th, 2013 Decision Making Process Decisions are a daily thing in life. After receiving this assignment and using a decision making process was a big decision. Trying to decide on how to write this paper required me to go through steps of the process. The steps used were very much similar to the one six step process in the textbook. The decision made would not have been any different because of the steps used were the same. Using the six step decision making process can be used in any situation of life. Steps Used in Decision Thinking about steps used in writing the paper for this assignment was first identifying the problem. The problem was how to write the paper by APA standards with the University of Phoenix. APA standards that were taught was 3rd person, so with this assignment and the questions asked directly to the student on a personal life decision being made brought into my mind what about first person. According Bateman and Snell (2011), the problem is recognizing it exists. The second step used in writing this paper was to generate alternatives solutions, by asking should I write in first or third person, knowing the University standards I tried to write one in the third person and this paper in first person. After conversation with another classmate I was still exploring alternatives. There were many solutions going through my head. These alternatives were all based on past experiences. As...

...textbook (Paper Life Cycle, 2011) Step 1 (Forest) Firstly, the producer will seek materials for making papers, the woods is the main material of making papers. The manufacturers will purchase lots of woods from the supplier of trees to progress their papers. So that the, supplier will cut down the trees from the forest instead to supply to the producers. When these happened, if the landowners failed to practice sustainable, this will cause the failure of sustainability of managing forest and damaged to the environment heavily (Life Cycle, 2011). Step 2 (Transportation) Secondly, after harvested the trees and clean up and get the woods ready for deliver to the paper manufacturer. The woods would be store in an inventory before gather up and transfer to the manufacturers. This step requires the machine to arrange and pick to the transportation or inventory which is man power hardly to do. The woods will deliver to the manufacturer accordingly to the quantity of order. During this step, the social impact toward the society could be offered job opportunity and not much impact to the environment (Life Cycle, 2011).. Step 3(Paper Making) Thirdly, the process is to remove all of the bark from logs. Afterward chipping the logs, we cook the wood chips in a large vessel under pressure with heat and chemicals. When the cooking is complete, the pulp is washed to separate the fiber from the lignin and cooking chemicals. Then come to the paper making process. During these...
