...Business Decision Making Project, Part 2 Ashelik Bagley QNT/275 December 7, 2014 Professor Adkins Abstract Communication is an issue that plagues many businesses today. In an effort to confront this problem, we must collect and analyze data. There are two types of information, qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative data is information that cannot be measured with numbers as it is information about qualities. Information such as the hardness of the rock, how gracefully one walks and the color of one’s eyes are examples of qualitative data. Quantitative data is information that can be written down and measured using numbers. Examples of quantitative data are one’s weight, shirt size, and length of one’s hair. Quantitative data was collected in an attempt to find the core reason communication is an issue for First Service Residential, a small property management company. Quantitative research relies upon probability sampling in order to be able to generalize results to the wider population. Sample selection is based on participation to the relevance of the questions being asked. Quantitative data should be reliable and produce the same response and allow for replication. For part 2 of my collaboration of a business problem, I will explain how I obtained a suitable sample of quantitative data, review the data for validity and reliability while using descriptive statistics to summarize the data. Business Decision Making Project, Part 2 Business...

...Business Decision Making Final Deborah Barnett QNT/275 09/28/2015 Tracy Sipma Business Decision Making Final The company that our team decided to use was the Honeywell Company, which is an aerospace division for global aftermarket services. This division repairs jet engines and other parts and processes around 1000 orders per week. The problem that we have found with this company is that it has what is called a “Hold Shelf”. This is where orders, products and information is stored or removed from the process. It causes a problem in the inventory and can be very costly. It also causes problems in variation. When these items get placed on the hold shelf then they are considered to be out of the inventory. In order to try and solve the problem we need to consider why these things are happening and what needs to be done to prevent it from happening again. First, we need to find out who is responsible for putting the orders on hold and not putting them back into the inventory. Then we need to find out the reason they are being put on hold. When items get cancelled someone should be responsible for seeing that it gets put back into the inventory instead of put on a shelf and left out of the inventory. Someone else could be looking to order that particular item and if it is not in inventory and sitting on a shelf then the company would be losing money. The sales would increase and the cost would decrease. Last week the data was broke down and we looked at the amount of time...
