...qualified for the tasks they entail hence making their workforce more efficient and supplying outstanding service. The purpose of this assessment is to investigate the weaknesses that are presented in the operations of Aircraft Solutions (AS). While conducting this assessment, we will expose vulnerabilities; give an analysis of any relative threats, risks that will be addressed and a comprehensive analysis of the relative threats and consequences pertaining to this mission. Assessment and Investigation After carefully examining the three sections pertaining to Aircraft Solutions, we found that policy and hardware related issues require special attention. We found that Aircraft Solutions does not utilize any firewall between the commercial division and the Internet Gateway. In fact, we exhibited that the Department Defense routes their traffic through their Headquarters, while the Commercial Department directly connects to the Internet. This is considered as a red flag that MUST be addressed. A vulnerability in the security policy, that we considered as a red flag is that the routers and firewall rule-sets are assessed and audited once every couple of years.

...INTRODUCTION This section explains why risks exist and highlights the purpose and importance of the risk management plan. It provides a general description of why risk management is essential to effectively managing a project and describes what is needed before risk management can begin. As organizations begin new projects they begin operating in an area of uncertainty that comes along with developing new and unique products or services. By doing so, these organizations take chances which results in risk playing a significant part in any project. The purpose of the risk management plan is to establish the framework in which the project team will identify risks and develop strategies to mitigate or avoid those risks. However, before risks can be identified and managed, there are preliminary project elements which must be completed. These elements are outlined in the risk management approach. This project is considered a medium risk project as it has an overall risk score of 24 on a scale from 0 to 100. The project risk score is the average of the risk scores of the most significant risks to this project. A risk score below 16 is low risk project, a score between 16 and 45 is a medium risk project and a score above 45 is a high risk project. Before risk management begins it is imperative that a foundation is established for providing structured project information, thus, the following project elements were completed and defined prior to developing this Risk Management...

Among other definition strategy is a long term direction for any organization and to achieve a competitive advantage. We need a strategic management plan to implement any strategy. The strategic process is guided as below: Determining the vision and mission of the firm Vision and mission provide direction and scope for the firm’s activities.

...Risk Management Student Name Institution Risk Management for a Satellite Development Project When a project manager talks about a project risk management plan, what comes in the participant mind? The list and document that have a number of foreseeable risk, estimated level of impacts as well as the established responses to issues. This establish the risk assessment matrix which help to assess the level of impact as it occur. The risk is an event that has a positive or negative impact to a project and is inherent to any project. The plan contains analysis of risk as a high or low impact as well as the mitigating strategies that aid in meeting the schedule of the project. The mitigating strategies may involve one or more of the following strategies; risk avoidance by change of plan, risk control or mitigation which is taking chance of the impact as well as likelihood of occurrence, risk acceptance or risk transfer to a third party through sub-contracting. However, after development, the plan should be reviewed from time to time to avoid the change of risk without knowledge. Issue that may arise due to lack of a risk management plan Lack of a contingent plan to avert risk in a project can have adverse effect. The project team may be faced with the challenge of analysis by paralysis. Due to lack of prier knowhow of any risk inherent to the project, the team may be lost in the process of analysis of data when risk avails. This put them in a compromising situation...

The scenario also wants me to make use of the Triz contradiction matrix to identify suggested principles to resolve the contradictions. As stated by economists, the desires of man are unlimited while the resources or means to satisfy these desires are limited in supply. This has been so since creation and it has never changed. Even though the world has advance nowadays through information technology and other new inventions, the desires of man keep advancing and complicating far above these inventions. The big companies are doing everything to satisfy the need of human beings but because of the complex nature of these needs they cannot be satisfied. The need to solve these ever ending problems of human beings have drive people to form organizations where people can come together with a common purpose to look at a specific problem and try to find solutions to them. For instance if we think about the common problems we face in our offices and our everyday life and how we strive to solve these problems, we will realize that life itself is about constantly finding solutions to ever ending problems. The important economic concepts of scarcity come into play here. By scarcity economics mean that the wants and desires of human beings are unlimited and the means to satisfy them...

...countries and servicing 286 million customers a year”(Moon, 2004). Despite the fact that IKEA has acted upon several smart actions in the past, there are certain factors that can account for their success today. These include their unique Scandinavian design, their low cost products or mentality, their broad segmented market, and their product strategy. As IKEA was founded in Scandinavia, the inspiration for design comes from their heritage comes through among IKEAs products. The designs are simple, yet unique, which allows IKEA to keep their promise to bring forth low priced, yet functional furniture. “Many competitors try to copy one or two of these things”(Moon, 2004), but “the difficulty is when you try to create the totality of what we have”(Moon, 2004). Not being able to imitate IKEA, makes its unique design and economies of scale a core competency that puts their company at a competitive advantage, stealing market share from their competitors. Another factor that has contributed to IKEAS success is their low pricing strategy by being cost efficient. The two major players that help maintain expenses down for IKEA is the self-service component and “flat packaging”. Customers pick up and assemble their own furniture, because IKEA “doesn’t charge you for things you can do on your own”(Moon, 2004). For self serve to work, the concept of “flat packaging” was introduced to assist with easier transportation. This saves 6 times more volume space on shipping. In addition, it leads...

Next, would be the process to meet to discuss the risks attributed with the management areas. The risks to scope, schedule, and cost. Considering the past project as a lessons learned, there were benefits that could be utilized that can limit the risks. The risks particularly associated with the second Oresund Bridge project is in its infrastructure. There are presently 4 lanes roadway and a two way railway with tunnels connected. With the current infrastructure, design, strategy, and logistics are all sure to be risks laden. We would need to have worked through all alternatives in this process to the strategy of adding to an already stellar structure. These risks would be associated with the scope of the project.
