Recommendations for Improvement

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, please review the related grading rubric.

For this assignment, you will complete the Chapter 8 Case: Control of thresholds for evaluation (TFEs) at Hallenvale Hospital and Chapter 9 Discussion Question 7, parts b, c, and g.

Control of TFEs at Hallenvale Hospital Case

This case requires you to assess the infection rate at the hospital and do the following:

Calculate the average percent of infections.
Create an appropriate control chart with upper and lower control limits, plot the data in a Control Chart (using Excel), and determine if the process is in control.
Determine what actions management should take.
Determine an appropriate TFE for management to use to monitor future data.
Question 7

These questions require that you evaluate different approaches to improving process performance and develop a recommendation on how to proceed. The question and its parts are listed below. Identify and discuss what would be the most appropriate tool (e.g., 7 QC Tools used for kaizen or others) to use to attack each of these problems:

B. The publication team for an engineering department wants to improve the accuracy of its user documentation but is unsure of why documents are not error free.

C. A rental car agency is getting numerous complaints about the length of time that customers have to wait to obtain a car. They need to get a better handle on the factors that relate to the wait time.

G. A travel agency is interested in gaining a better understanding of how call volume varies by time of year in order to adjust staffing schedules.

In your recommendations for each scenario, examine techniques (e.g., a Six Sigma technique, lean strategies, etc.) to improve input and supplier quality, and incorporate a customer-focused approach to Quality Management concepts.

Each conclusion should incorporate at least one scholarly reference supporting the recommendations made. Across the three recommendations, use at least three scholarly sources in addition to the text.

The Recommendations for Improvement paper

Must be two to four double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Centers APA Style (Links to an external site.)

Radixsort linked list

Your application should be able to sort a list of strings from an input file using Radix Sort.
Assume the maximum length of the input string is 15 characters; the input file would contain an unspecified number of strings. The input file should contain one string in each line. Having read the strings successfully, your application should then sort the input strings using the Radix Sort algorithm.
The user should be displayed a menu with the options necessary to run the functionalities of the program (i.e., read the input file, print the strings before sorting, sort the strings, print the sorted strings, and exit).

Any Hempel Exercise First/Last Line

Generate an interesting first and last line that do not (at least at first glance) appear to be connected. Then, using these lines draft a flash fictional story bringing the two lines together.

Sort of mirror the attachments in Amy Hempel’s Weekend or Pretty Story for writing fiction, for which she first writes a story’s opening and closing line by beginning your story by typing out the first and last line. Then, follow with the full text of the flash story.
