Definition The Six Sigma is a methodology that is aimed at improving the effectiveness and efficacy of a variety of business and manufacturing processes (Drohomeretski et al. 805). When it comes to manufacturing, one of the ultimate goals of utilizing the Six Sigma methodologies consists in achieving the rate of defects occurrence in the products that is lower than 3.4 defects in one million opportunities (Rahman and Talapatra 1); that is, for every ten million items produced, not more than 34 items are allowed to have a defect. A part of the Six Sigma methodology is the DMAIC tool (Drohomeretski et al. 808), the repeated implementation of which may help an organization to more efficaciously progress towards the defect rate of 3.4 defects per million opportunities, as defined by Six Sigma. It is important to point out that DMAIC is an abbreviation that stands for the five steps which comprise the instrument itself, that is, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (Drohomeretski et al. 808). The definitions for these steps are provided below (Rahman and Talapatra 2). Analyze This is the third stage of the DMAIC instrument, at which the analysis of the causes of the defects in the production is conducted, and methods for addressing these causes are identified and prioritized in accordance with their perceived effectiveness. Improve This is the fourth stage of the DMAIC tool, which is aimed at testing the previously identified methods for addressing the reasons for the presence of the defects in the manufactured goods. These methods are tested using experiments and statistical tools, and then the best ones are utilized for improving the quality of goods. Implementation in General The implementation of the DMAIC method can be carried out in any manufacturing facility in which the rate of defects and/or the level of the effectiveness are suboptimal and, therefore, require improvements. Analyze After the goals of the improvement process are defined, and the factors which are to be enhanced are selected and measured so as to quantitatively identify the need for their improvement, these factors are further analyzed in order to reveal which causes result in the presence of defects in the products that are manufactured by the organization. It is possible for the improvement team to engage in brainstorming sessions so as to name the possible causes of such defects; these possible causes will then need to be confirmed as true reasons for defects or ruled out as false threats. After that, it is required to identify the possible ways for addressing the true causes of defects in the products, compare these ways, and prioritize the ones which appear to be most effective. Improve After the analysis of the causes of defects in the manufactured production and the selection and prioritization of methods for addressing them, it is needed to conduct a number of experiments and employ the instruments of statistical process control in order to confirm the effectiveness of the chosen methods and identify which ones of these methods work best. After the best ways for enhancing the quality of the produced goods and reducing the rate of defects in the
Security attacks have become more organized, sophisticated and very difficult to deal with. As a result, security officers must do a better job in responding to attacks. In order to effectively counter these attacks, a detailed intervention plan is needed. Responsibilities of a Security Officer The role of a security officer is a vital one. Among other tasks, a security officer is responsible for the implementation and maintenance of an organization’s security program. Duties may include inspecting people entering or leaving a facility and preparing clearances for those leaving the facility with items that belong to the organization. In addition, a security officer may be tasked with the responsibility of educating people in an institution about the importance of information as a corporate resource and why it is necessary to ensure that it is securely kept. Other responsibilities of a security officer include creating and implementing security policies, procedures, and practices aimed at ensuring that every person understands what is expected. Having a security policy is one way of avoiding controversies. Legal Authority of Security Officers in Criminal and Civil Cases By and large, security officers are expected to act reasonably when dealing with a suspected offender. Improper conduct by a security officer may land him or her in trouble in the event that the suspect is affected by the actions of the officer. The liability of a security officer may arise in a number of ways. An officer who assaults a suspect during arrest, for example, is answerable for his or her actions. In such situations, the court may be required to determine if excessive force was used by a security officer while attempting to take the suspect into custody. Another ground for the potential liability of a security officer is when the authority of the state is used to deprive an individual of his or her protected rights. This is tantamount to abuse of office, and the officer involved is liable. Types of Training Security Officers May Receive According to Dempsey (2016), one of the vital trainings that a security officer should receive is rapid response to the needs of citizens. Apparently, this involves officers being deployed within the shortest time possible to deal with an incident. It is also helpful for officers to receive training in effective patrol operations. Officers should be made fully aware of the activities involved in patrol operations. Risks Associated with the Role of the Security Officer in Regards to Incident Response In the process of carrying out their duties, security officers may be faced with a number of risks. Ordinarily, most offenders are individuals with a criminal record and are likely to be aggressive when approached by security officers. For this reason, security officers must be careful when dealing with suspects since it is impossible to know the nature of the suspect. As earlier explained, security officers also risk being accused if they do not exercise caution during arrests. In the event that a suspect is assaulted by an officer, the offi
Introduction Changes normally disrupt the normal work process of an organization. Such changes are likely to remain permanent. Changes result from both internal and external factors, which relate with an organization. Therefore, organizations must find ways of adapting to such changes. In most cases, we experience conflicts because of changes that occur from both internal and outside the organization. As a result, organizations must adjust their management and communication strategies in order to cope with changes. Conflicts and their challenges have become major sources of concerns in many organizations. Conflicts are responsible for massive wastage of resources within organizations. In most cases, people only focus on negative impacts of conflicts. However, we can rely on conflicts to achieve good results. Feedback from conflicts can be sources of opportunities to improve communication and relationships within the work team. Conflicts provide opportunities for organizations to formulate effective means of communications, address challenges within the group, and change workplace strategies. Specific conceptual frameworks and theoretical models can address conflicts with an organization. In this case, the organization must understand the concept of workplace dynamics. As a result, an organization can continue to work in an optimal manner and achieve best results. The purpose of this report is to address the issue of work team problems, perform group diagnostics, and analyze results relative to the ideal of conflict management and workplace dynamics.

A brief introduction of the article The article under review is titled “Nebraska Pollution Prevention Project: Engineering Education through Technical Assistance” written by Dvorak, Woldt, Hygnstrom, Dahab and Schulte (2003). The article is about Nebraska’s Partners in Pollution Prevention program and the benefits it has brought to the state in the reduction of pollution caused by small businesses. This program essentially recruits Engineering students who are trained in pollution prevention and work as interns in selected businesses and provide the businesses with technical assistance. Analysis of the key points in the article Nebraska’s Partners in Pollution Prevention (P3) program has had significant positive outcomes not only on environmental preservation in the state but also on the interns. To begin with, the program has enhanced its efforts in recommending cost-effective pollution prevention strategies to its clients. It has also broadened the range of technical assistance provided by the interns to the clients, for instance, through the inclusion of energy conservation strategies (Dvorak et al., 2003). Second, the P3 program has enhanced the level of awareness creation in the communities through public education. The interns educate the public on pollution prevention through workshops, presentations and media channels such as newspapers, television, and the radio. Third, the interns involved in the P3 program have gained valuable knowledge about pollution prevention and business communication through the hands-on experience made possible by the program. Fourth, the P3 program involves graduate students who not only assist the undergraduate interns in complex matters but also conduct their research on pollution issues. The research studies undertaken by graduate students are used as case studies and also help them in creating new modeling tools for life-cycle analysis (Dvorak et al., 2003). Application and comparison of some points in the article that might be applied to the company you work for, or have worked for Several points can be applied to the company I have worked for. The first is conducting a waste evaluation of the company’s operations to determine the chemical components of the waste and whether or not the waste can be utilized in further production. The second is identifying the technological innovations invented by the company and comparing them with the latest technologies in the market and recommending which latest technology the company should implement to minimize waste. Lastly, conducting an economic evaluation of the company’s current operations and the proposed operations to determine the cost-effectiveness of both operations and recommend which operation the company should adopt. Summary of the article’s conclusions Dvorak et al. (2003) conclude by arguing that the success of Nebraska’s P3 program is dependent on many factors which include the stipend provided to the interns, the mentoring opportunity, the technical nature of the tasks given, the logistical support granted. Another imp
Criminal psychology studies a criminal’s actions, intentions, and thoughts to investigate and develop a pattern that helps police hold criminals responsible for their deeds and make court investigations easier (Tshababa, 2020). The function of the criminal justice system (CJS) is to manage the criminals who have been convicted in a court of law. With the uncertainties in today’s policing environment, the system needs to develop advanced technologies and equip the available law agencies to ensure the achievement of a robust criminal investigation system. Criminal psychology has been used to investigate individual behavior and thoughts to provide effective justice delivery. Many cases could be wrongly investigated if the proper evaluation procedures are not used (Tshababa, 2020). Most criminal justice procedures such as; criminal profiling, expert witnesses, interviewing witnesses, interviewing suspects, and identification parades have utilized psychology research. Criminal profiling, also known as psychological profiling, is one of the significant areas in a criminal investigation that has adopted psychology research. It refers to the development of a criminal investigation from the information relating to the offense that can be obtained at the crime scene (Tshababa, 2020). A psychosomatic representation of the known elements of the crime is compiled through the received data. Offender profiling does not identify a specific offender; however, the technique can determine the probability of a person committing the crime based on individual characteristics. Criminal profiling is primarily utilized when a severe crime such as murder and rape has been committed, and the offender’s identity is unknown (Tshababa, 2020). Through the technique, profilers can investigate crime series, which are several offenses that are believed to have been committed by one offender. In addition, criminals are believed to have behavioral consistency when executing crimes; this allows criminal psychologists to use behavioral traits to identify offenders. Interviewing witnesses is another area in the CJS where psychology research has been utilized. In criminal justice, the outcome of any criminal investigation is highly dependent on the testimony offered by the witness; hence accuracy of the information is essential (Tshababa, 2020). During the investigation, investigators use critical approaches such as the Cognitive Interview (CI) technique that help the witnesses in their ability to recall events. CI is also referred to Innovative interview technique because it improves memory performance. It also utilizes two procedures to extract evidence from the witness; The Temporary Change Order (TCO), where the witness is required to retrieve information backward to help access the memories that were not accessible before. CI also utilizes the Mental Reinstatement Concept (MRC), which requires the interviewer to reconstruct the episodes of the crime from the witness. Interviewing witnesses is crucial because some crime memories could need psychological and emotional support to get through the exercise. The
Introduction and Explanation of the Issue While working in the primary classroom, teachers of Geography are expected to discuss contemporary geographical issues with a focus on the aspect of values. The issue selected for being taught and discussed in the class is the pollution of the Georges River because of Endeavour Coal’s activities (Appendix A). In October 2018, Endeavour Coal, a mining company, caused the overdose of ferric chloride in a sediment pond at Appin Colliery. Ferric chloride was used to clarify water resources, but water with a high dose of this substance was discharged into the Georges River, leading to its pollution and changing the color to orange-brown because of acidic reactions (“Endeavour Coal fined $30,000,” 2019). This local geographical issue and the solution to the problem need to be discussed in detail in the context of teaching Geography in primary school. The New South Wales Environment Protection Authority (NSW EPA) imposed a fine of $30,000 on Endeavour Coal because of the violation of the environment protection license issued by the EPA. Firstly, the ferric chloride dosing pump was not managed appropriately at Appin Colliery, and the replacement of the pump led to negative consequences for the environment. Secondly, the discharged water caused the pollution of the Georges River, resulting in the high turbidity and acidity of water associated with the increased levels of iron and zinc (“Endeavour Coal fined $30,000,” 2019). The situation became risky for animals and aquatic species because of the high toxicity of water in the river. It is possible to discuss and explain this issue as potentially threatening to fish in the Georges River, animals populating the nearby territories, and people living close to the river and using its water. The pollution could potentially cause the death of different organisms and living species because of changes in the quality of water (“Endeavour Coal fined $30,000,” 2019). Consequently, one inappropriate activity could lead to a range of negative effects on the environment in the region of the Georges River that mostly suffered from pollution. In the context of this situation, it is necessary to discuss specific values and positions held by the stakeholders involved in the issue. The NSW EPA is the key authority in the region responsible for protecting the environment, and its members share such values as responsibility, care, social justice, integrity, and excellence. The
Modern business environments demand for strategic business-decisions, that can assist the organization take advantage of business opportunities and mitigate against industrial risks and threats. The traditional business approach, which was directly inclined to profit making, has changed to focus on customer/organization relationship building. The new management approach aims at attaining the noble goal of business, which is making profits, indirectly. Care management business strategy ensures that organizations are strategically managed to facilitate the attainment of corporate goals and objectives; the management strategy enable organisations to steer their way ahead to adequately fulfil corporate goals and objectives (Bullen and Eyler, 2010). This paper discusses the care management strategy from different dimensions in an organisation. Managerial challenges, targets, and ethics in the context of care management Managers within organizations have the role of making strategic decisions to curve their organizations strategic directions; it is through the quality of decisions that firms address challenges within their industry. The competitiveness of an organization is dependent on the quality, timeliness, and acceptability of decisions made by its leaders; within the frameworks of decision making, managers in contemporary business environment have the challenge of making the right decisions to cut across the needs of all business outlets in different parts of the world. The responsiveness and applicability of decisions to address issues facing a business determines the effectiveness of business processes within an organization. In care management, organizations need to manage their human resources cultural diversity; managing cultural diversity has been a challenge to management. When adopting care management approach, managers have the challenge of managing change within the organization; care management calls upon strategic adjustments that might not be well embraced by human resources. Another challenge that managers face is how to develop an orchestrate workforce. Care management emphasizes on the need to have clear corporate objectives, goals, and targets; it is with the targets that the organization can develop the right pathways to their attainment. When making corporate targets, the management should ensure it
Introduction Architecture is probably one of those fields which cannot stop amazing people and improving their lives in accordance with the conditions settled. The peculiar feature of this form of art is the combination of a burning necessity and creativity. The work of architects is not easy, and what is more important these professionals have to face considerable challenges and difficulties in order to present worthwhile projects. One of the most important aspects in architects’ work is the possibility to create an ideal and reliable plan of the project and take into account all possible issues for building’s creation. The development of project scope management seems to be the most important combination of actions and ideas to create a product (project); this element plays a crucial role in understanding the subject and the peculiarities of the chosen sphere. According to the ideas offered by the Project Management Institute (2008), this process has to evaluate the required time, costs, quality of work, and other expectations which may influence the development of the project. To introduce a qualified project (a dining hall for 400 people), it is necessary to evaluate business needs, costs, and plans, consider such requirements as kitchen, reception, VIP-rooms, high-rank officers, and parking areas, pay enough attention to the changes which are caused by mistakes and delays of partners and suppliers, and define such sections like scope concept, goals, deliverable, and in (out of) scope. Discussion Scope concept The situation in Saudi Arabia proves that it is not always possible to present comfortable and up-to-date buildings and meet the demands of the government and citizens. Work for BAe Systems Company for several years provide people with the necessary experience that helps to define what kind of projects are of burning necessity for this country. In this paper, the development of the project of a dining hall more than 400 m 2 long will be evaluated considering all those aspects which are important for the project scope presentation. Due to a clear and brief definition, given by Ernest Burden (2002), a dining hall is “a large room is a school or other institution for group dining” (p. 103), the main idea of what is expected from this project. The representatives of the Project Management Institute (2008) define the scope of the project under discussion as all those actions and ideas which have to be analyzed to deliver and represent the work. In this case, the scope content has to be based on all those business needs, objectives, and requirements which help to ensure the quality and the necessity of this project. Goals and Objectives The development of the dining hall project is under consideration. To identify properly the scope of the project, it is necessary to clear up its objectives and goals (Richman 2006). Taking into consideration the conditions of the contract with the Ro
