IntroductionFlowcharts can be used to delineate a certain process. Specifically, an organizational flowchart displays the individuals or teams that constitute the entity and the manner in which they interact. They can augment communication through the distribution of knowledge regarding who to speak to. Furthermore, they can be employed to reorganize the prevailing entity. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the flowchart of a particular activity within an organization.Flowchart AnalysisSign off on inventory listDamaged?In stock?Order New ItemCheck inventory list for product locationLog Request on computerWaitCustomer RequestThe flowchart illustrated above encompasses the activity of a consumer requesting for a product within the organization.

Hybrid Organizations blur the boundary between for profit and non-profit: they serve a social or environmental purpose yet utilized for-profit business model in order to sustain their mission. Examples include Ten Thousand Villages, which is a non-profit that acts as a retailer for artisans around the world seeking to sell their products and earn a living. Or there is Seventh Generation, a for-profit that sells environmentally-safe products and makes this the basis of its brand. Common commercial functions of this type of organization include selling a product that is environmentally safe or that helps achieve a social good -- such as the livelihood of a minority group (Haigh, Hoffman, 2012).
Service organizations provide a service for customers and can include anything from Midas, which provides car service, to Uber which provides a pick-up service. These companies do not produce anything but do provide a service. Common commercial functions of these types….

Workflow Analysis
Workflow is a term that is utilized to refer to processes or steps undertaken to complete a specific task (Mastrian & McGonigle, 2015). In a healthcare organization, this concept refers to initiatives undertaken to provide patient care services. This essentially means that workflow is crucial towards the achievement of organizational goals since it plays a critical role in the accomplishment of desired tasks/activities. Given its significance to realization of organizational objectives, organizations conduct workflow analysis to help identify workflow patterns that maximize effective resource utilization and reduce those that do not add value. Workflow analysis process is carried out using several tools to examine workflow processes and shed light on potential areas for removing waste. This paper provides a workflow analysis through flowcharts of medication administration in a community health center.

Janson Medical Clinic
Construct a Pareto diagram for dissatisfaction. What conclusions do you reach?

Creating a Pareto diagram of dissatisfaction shows how poor the overall patient experience is in the Janson Medical Clinic from a care and treatment perspective. As the case indicates that the process for making an appointment is streamlined and easily accomplished, it is not surprising that this aspect of the dissatisfaction metric scores the least. The top three areas that generate the highest levels of patient satisfaction include the ease of getting through on the phone, ease of getting a convenient appointment, and the length of time patients wait to see a physician. The following Pareto analysis illustrates the results.

What is alarming about the performance of the Jansen Medical Clinic from a patient satisfaction perspective is how low seven of the 14 attributes track score. The attributes so critical to delivering an excellent patient experience are ranking….

For example, the step at the beginning where the amount of fuel is checked is a short step itself, but if there is insufficient fuel then the step becomes long because the gas station stop must be added to the total commuting time. A process improvement would be to move this step entirely to the commute home. Such a move is logical, because coming home there is less time pressure (i.e. there is no "late" coming home whereas there is a "late" time for arriving to work). Another step where adjustments could be made is at the coffee acquisition part of the process. The independent coffee shop is the preferred choice, but it has no drive-through so it takes longer to acquire coffee than if the Starbucks with the drive-through was selected. Coffee could also be made at home, allowing for further reduction in commuting time.
The process could also….

Kudler offers a wide variety of baked goods, fresh produce, meat, seafood, condiments, packaged foods, cheese, specialty dairy products, and fine wines.

Kathy Kudler, the owner of Kudler Fine Foods has requested that we create a frequent shopper program to reward customer loyalty.

Description of the Frequent Shopper Program

The main objective of the frequent shopper program is to track purchasing behavior at the customer level and provide customer incentives….

Furthermore, run charts can be quite labor intensive to produce, which means they may not be appropriate QC / QA tools for every it project scenario.
Control Chart: Used to grahically display resultive data gleaned from process analytics, a control chart is one of the primary it project management techniques used to ensure that the triple constraint of scope, schedule, and budget are strictly controlled throughout the duration of the project life. At the heart of QC / QA methodology lies the conviction that proper "quality planning identifies which quality standards are relevant to the project and how to satisfy them, (while) quality assurance involves evaluating overall project performance to ensure that the project will satisfy the relevant quality standards" (Schwalbe, 2011), and without the use of control charts to quantify and interpret process data, this crucial it project management task would border on the unfeasible. Control charts enable it….

Bottleneck Issues at Work
PAGES 4 WORDS 928

Flowchart MemoA bottleneck occurs in the cinema auditorium when multiple films let out all at the same time. As there is only about 20 to 25 minute gap between the end of the film and the start of the next showing, ushers have a limited amount of time to get into each auditorium following the end of the film to clean it so as to allow patrons to be seated. When several films let out all at once, ushers do not have sufficient time to clean out each auditorium so that it is ready for the next set of patrons. They will focus on cleaning 1 or 2 auditoriums, but meanwhile a large group of patrons will be forced to wait in the lobby, causing a bottleneck in the lobby area, where it becomes difficult for other customers to get where they are going, whether it is to an auditorium….

Teaching is in many ways a solitary profession: A teacher in his or her own classroom spends hours in contact with students but often relatively little time talking to other teachers and educators. Administrators are also in many ways isolated from the teachers. Perhaps because of this fact, the administrators interviewed for this project emphasized the personal importance of collaboration with other members of the professional and the necessity of providing support for each other. This section summarizes the findings of this research concerning how education professionals defined and evaluated different aspects of cooperation within the profession.

This study was conducted at a kindergarten through eighth grade school in the district where I am employed. I conducted six interviews with administrators who ranged in experience (in administration) from one to eight years. Five were women and five were former teachers in the district. The….

Improvement
A process is the steps to accomplish a given task. A process improvement is also strategy to make an operation of an organization to become better. In other words, a process improvement is the strategy of setting a program to make a work better. The process improvement model is better than the problem-solving model because the problem-solving model simply fixes the problem without investigating the root cause of the problem. However, a true process improvement approach investigates the root cause of the problem, and provides solutions to the problems.

Decision
As the general contractor of a medium size, one of the most important decision points in construction is a go no-go decision. Go no-go decisions have become common in the modern construction industry because of the changing marketplace that has in turn generated complex procurement choices. In light of the changing marketplace in the construction industry, construction companies face new challenges in identifying the most suitable project proposals to adopt and develop vetting measures that help in making the appropriate go no-go decision (Illia & ubin, 2014). Despite the complexities of such decisions, go no-go decisions remain very crucial choices in this sector because of their significance in weighing costs for the most appropriate project fit.

Contractors need to conduct a go no-go analysis in order to determine the best project fit depending on project specifications and needs. The analysis helps in several aspects including serving as a process of….
