    Week Two Assignment 3 – Final Project Milestone

    By the end of Week Two, you must provide your instructor with a status report on your Final Project.  send a detailed report on your progress-to-date and your plans to complete a quality project on-time!

    DO NOT proceed with your project without feedback and approval from your instructor!

    Week Four Assignment 1 – Final Project

    Instructions

    And the corresponding Data Sheets in Excel format.

    The purpose of the project is to demonstrate your depth of understanding of the course concepts. This applications project will also help you to retain the key material of this course for years to come.

    This is an individual project.

    Option #1:

    Find a business who would like your help! This may be the company that you work for or a company where you know a senior manager. Offer to conduct a Supply Chain Management process assessment! The process is shown on Figure 13-3 in our textbook – your responsibility will be to get through the Gap Analysis with recommendations for improvements (note – there will not be time in this course to actually implement your recommendations nor validate their successes!).  See also Figure 10-3 for details to prioritize your findings. For step #1, “Select Process”, the suggestion is to start with CRM or SRM with a customer or supplier with whom the company is having problems or is expanding business. Any other process would work well if there is a “burning bridge” problem that Supply Chain Management could support. Note – you will need to start early on this! By the end of Week One, you’ll need firm commitment from the company’s leadership, or you’ll have to default to Option #2 below. Should you gain approval, the sponsor will need to quickly assign a team of experts and schedule two meetings below:

    1- Review sub-processes (where you give a short training session on the process selected), EXTRA CREDIT.

    2- Assess performance (this can be done individually in a virtual survey–see the appendices in your textbook).  

    NOTE:  You will NOT have time for a consensus building session to discuss scores and implementation ideas.  Therefore, just present your average scores and ranges with your recommendations to your sponsor.

    Option #2

    If you do not have access to a sponsor for data collection, contact your instructor with the following:

    1- Select your ideal company:  provide name and product lines

    2- Identify the supply chain process of greatest importance to your company

    Your instructor will provide you a data set to analyze! You will also need to add your own “estimated assessment” as one additional participant in the assessment.

    Your report will consist of:

    1- All the materials you provided to the company,

    2- All of the resulting assessments (should the sponsor allow confidential viewing by your instructor, or a summary of the results, or a signed memo from your sponsor stating what you accomplished),

    3- A statement from your sponsor stating his/her impressions of your efforts, and

    4- A formal report:  

    1.      

        1.  Executive Summary (in lieu of Abstract)
        2.  Introduction of your project, company and SCM process (1-2 pages)
        3.  Summary of your actions with the client (minimum 1 page) – NOT applicable for Option #2 (simulated data)
        4.  Your analysis to include Prioritized assessment results (minimum 2 pages with tables/charts)
        5.  Recommendations to the company with supporting details (minimum 2 pages)
        6.  Lessons that you learned through the project
        7. Conclusion (summary of key findings for action)
        8. References

    Topic: Body positivity and diet culture

    Instructions: each five of those sources must be used at least once in the essay. Your document must include a works cited page containing the correct citations for the sources

    The specific goal of this assignment is for you to summarize, evaluate, and analyze secondary sources in relation to one specific theme or topic. You should include specific details on the works you’ve read in a concise format—so that the annotated bibliography will be useful to you as you write the Argument Essay. To successfully summarize and evaluate a source, you should know its thesis, argument, and evidence—in other words, what’s the point of the article, and how does the writer communicate this? Your annotations—the paragraphs following the MLA citations—should be descriptive and critical.

     

    Argumentative essay: Once you have chosen your topic, decide on a question about the topic that your argument can answer. Use your sources from the Annotated Bibliography to guide your discussion of the topic and support your claims.

    Use the same sources from the bibliography

    Question for the essay: Should social media influencers be held responsible for promoting unrealistic body standards?

    To get started, read your chosen text carefully. Make note of the author’s intended audience, purposes, strategies, and use of evidence. Consider what elements make the article effective (or not). Take careful notes. When you begin to write about this article, you’ll need to explain it carefully using support from the article itself.

    Decide whether you think the author is effective in presenting the article’s argument. Once you’ve decided whether the article is effective or not, your task is to prove it. You will need to explain the article’s claim briefly in the introduction, and then have a thesis in which you explain its effectiveness.

    Once you’ve stated your thesis, use your body paragraphs to discuss how the author presents the argument. For example, to discuss the intended audience, consider: which strategies does the author use to attract the audience? What kind of knowledge does the author expect the audience to have already? Who needs this information? To discuss the situation, you might ask what question the author is trying to answer, or what problem the author is trying to solve by writing this article.

    Use one additional source that you find on your own to demonstrate a supporting viewpoint that backs up your analysis of the article. Overall, you should be sure to explain how the author did or did not fulfill the article’s purpose in reaching the audience, or in supporting a claim, which you will have to clearly identify.

  • OHSA 4 Unit VII Scholarly Activity In your current place of employment, your company has a good safety record. The daily work activities in the plant fall under OSHA’s general industry (1910) standards.

    OHSA 4 Unit VII Scholarly Activity

    In your current place of employment, your company has a good safety record. The daily work activities in the plant fall under OSHA’s general industry (1910) standards.

    With the success of the company and increased sales, the company has had to hire more workers and convert existing areas of the plant to enable more production. This means the areas formerly used for other purposes not related to production will be unavailable.

    Realizing the need, the owners and senior leadership provided the resources to build a new, state-of-the-art multi-purpose building for events, meetings, and training. When it is finished, it will be an impressive sight when visitors or workers arrive at the site.

    The new multi-purpose building is 5 (five) stories high, and will contain meeting rooms, training facilities, and a kitchen/dining area on the first floor. The upper floors will host additional meeting rooms and offices for executives and visiting staff, as well as spaces planned for future use.

    CSU Construction, Inc., has been contracted to perform this work. However, your company has a team overseeing the work. They have been onsite for approximately 6 months and have completed a considerable amount of work. However, they are still about a year from completion.

    All contractors on site have been through your orientation program and are expected to follow your safety rules, which only cover the general industry (1910) standards.

    Due to a worker complaint regarding inadequate access and egress at the construction site, the local OSHA Area Office visited the construction site and found several violations, the most serious being the lack of an Emergency Action Plan that does not take the current construction activities into consideration.

    Your current EAP only covers the standards (1910) for the existing facility and does not address the construction activities under 29CFR 1926 or the current conditions of the site.

    Under the multi-employer policy, your company, as the “controlling” or “host” employer, received the OSHA citation for not having an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place that included contracting firms and addressed the current conditions during construction. Therefore, as your company is overseeing the work, as the controlling contractor, you have also been cited and must respond.

    You have been brought in to assist the host company in developing and implementing the program required by OSHA under the construction standards (29CFR 1926), which includes all contractors on site and reflects the actual conditions happening at the time.

    The ongoing construction activities include concrete masonry units (CMU) block exterior walls and a sloped standing seam metal roof on the exterior, along with underground utility installation requiring excavations. The masons work from scaffolding, and the roofers are tied off to anchor points. They access the roof area using aerial lifts or the exterior stair tower on the south end.

     

    In the interior of the building, framing and drywall are being installed, the electricians are working to install permanent power, and the plumbers and HVAC trades are working from ladders to install their work. Lighting is temporary string lights. The elevator has not been installed yet. However, there is an exterior material lift that also carries the workers to their respective floors where they are working. The stairs have not been installed on the upper floors, and access is gained by using ladders in floor openings that will eventually be covered.

    Prepare a written EAP using the template attached here. It must contain all the information required by 29 C.F.R. 1926.34 and 1926.35. Your plan must address how you will specifically address the requirement for medical services and first aid, means of egress and accountability, and how to notify workers of an emergency and employee training. Additionally, include a section that addresses how you will reduce the risk of and respond to acts of violence at the worksite.

     

    You must include at least two academic references. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment.
