Compose a 500 words assignment on applying people cmm to your organization-part 1. Needs to be plagiarism free! Applying People CMM to Your Organization-Part Toyota Toyota is a car manufacturing company known for its management philosophy and innovation. It has achieved success using its lean manufacturing process while other companies have tried the same process, but still fails. It is also known for its mass-market hybrids. Just like any other company, Toyota has its own practices, principles and problem solving techniques. In its quest for success and sustainability, the company has implemented a continuous improvement culture, which as described below, can benefit from the people CMM (Toyota, 2014).

The Organization’s need for people CMM

Toyota developed a lean manufacturing process, and has been using this process to achieve its competitive advantage. The company also recognized the need for a continuous improvement culture in order to sustain the process. Because of that, Toyota selects the brightest and best workers within the organization, from all levels, and challenges them to use their proposals and creativity to experiment and learn. This is a challenge that puts the workers through a constant problem solving state, and encourages them to grow in their jobs. Every specialty, for example. engineering, accounting, sales, service, and human resources, are equipped with skills which the company refines to achieve customer satisfaction. This continuous improvement culture could use people CMM for the company to achieve its targets (Toyota, 2014). Continuous improvement means the company will always have changing aims to meet. There should be a system of ensuring these aims are met, and this is where the people CMM come in. It provides staged improvements through which the organization’s culture can be changed. People CMM is a model of change that focuses on improving workforce practices. It has five levels of maturity, and these act as guidance through change. If Toyota, for example, wants to change the culture of the organization to a continuous improvement focused, it will make use of the maturity levels to meet its targets. The model describes an evolutionary process through which companies go through to achieve quality and effectiveness. Maturity levels determine the characteristics of the organization. Toyota, for example, already established a continuous improvement culture which it has to maintain. It means that the company has passed the initial level, the managed level, and the defined level. The initial level is all about the inconsistency of the practices. Toyota has a consistent practice of identifying the best skills, and guiding them through problem solving activities to develop new ideas and improve the company’s processes. At level two, critical skills are identified for each unit. Toyota already has a consistent practice of identifying the best, which the company uses to develop new ideas. This is well managed. Then there is level three of maturity where the organization implements the right infrastructure that will support the newly adopted practices, to ensure an alignment of the organization’s strategic objectives and the workforce capability. There is also the predictable level where the company can manage its performance and capability quantitatively, and the optimizing level where the company focuses on continual improvement (Curtis, Hefley & Miller, 2003).

Benefits that Toyota gets from People CMM

The People CMM will provide more than a human resource management framework. It will provide a framework for process management if based on competency processes. strategic planning. and measurement and analysis of performance at all levels ensuring an alignment of performance across the organization. The people CMM also ensures cultural changes that lead to long lasting improvements (Curtis, Hefley & Miller, 2003).

creating a thesis and an outline on The maypole. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide.

I need help creating a thesis and an outline on The maypole. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. To prove this statement I need do analyze The Maypole of Mary Mount by comparing contrary sides – early Americans of Marry Mount and the Puritans. Also, I have to mention, it is very important to pay attention to the author’s attitude to the “contenders” and to his feeling of close tragic during the story. Before I start the comparison, I have to tell briefly what this story is about. The main topic of the story is the confrontation between early Americans and newly coming Puritans, old and new values, old and new colonists. Nathaniel Hawthorne mentioned in the beginning very important statement that “jollity and gloom were contending for an empire [883]”. It was quarrel that has determined the “future complexion of New England [888]”. And the rate was high: “should the grizzly saints establish their jurisdiction over the gay sinners, then would their spirits darken all the clime…But should the banner staff of Merry Mount be fortunate, sunshine would break upon the hills, and flowers would beautify the forest [888]”. It is very interesting that author avoided describing the process of seizure power by Puritans. It is not interesting for him. In contrary, the place, time, circumstances, emotions, atmosphere of these shifts – do matter. There are two main heroes in this story: “Puritan of the Puritans” John Endicott and Edgar with Edith – the newly married couple. These heroes present the contend sides: Puritans and early Americans. To emphasize the significance of the Puritan coming author created the atmosphere that something important was just about to happen. The tragedy of situation was underlined in the beginning of the story: “midsummer eve had come, bringing deep verdure to the forest, and roses in her lap, of a more vivid hue than the tender buds of Spring…never had the Maypole been so gayly decked as at sunset on midsummer eve” [883]. In other part of the story there is very intriguing moment: “with the setting sun, the last day of mirth had passed from Merry Mount [888]”. Also I can remember the dialogue between Edith and Edgar, when Edgar was disturbed by the sadness of Edith during their wedding day: “Edith, sweet Lady of the May, is yon wreath of roses a garland to hang above our graves, that you look so sad? O, Edith, this is our golden time! [885]”. In other words, if you want to say that something really bad had happen you have to say how good it was before. And such literature trick indeed created the feeling that the big changes yet to come, the end is near. Indeed, early American days at Merry Mount in May were bright and the people of Merry Mount “who reared it, should their banner be triumphant, were to pour sunshine over New England’s rugged hills, and scatter flower seeds throughout the soil [883]”. Author called them “the crew of Comus” because of their life style. Comus was the Ancient Greek&nbsp.god&nbsp.of festivity and revels. Jollity was the main characteristic of early Americans from Merry Mount. Although, it is important to understand, Nathaniel Hawthorne didn’t idealize them. Instead, he made some contempt jokes of them. In description of the Merry Mount people he argued that “here might be seen the Savage Man, well known in heraldry, hairy as a baboon, and girdled with green leaves… Some youths and maidens were of soberer garb, yet well maintained their places in the irregular throng by the expression of wild revelry upon their features.

 

writing homework on Hurricane Katrina Disaster.

Need help with my writing homework on Hurricane Katrina Disaster. Write a 1500 word paper answering; If one analyzes the history of Katrina, it developed on August 23 during the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season and caused severe damage along the Gulf Coast of the United States. It was formed initially in the Bahamas on August 23, 2005, and crossed southern Florida as a moderate Category 1 hurricane, causing some deaths and flooding there, later consolidated rapidly in the Gulf of Mexico and became one of the strongest hurricanes on record while at sea. Gradually the storm reduced its intensity before making its second and third landfalls as a Category 3 storm on August 29, 2005. It affected the cities like St. Louis, Gulfport, Waveland, Ocean Springs, Biloxi, and Pascagoula.

As different types of views built up over a period of time like the poor government response and role of media, one has to thoroughly analyze the actual response of the government when this disaster happened and to review the role of media reports in terms of accuracy. Keeping this in view, the results of Katrina graffiti and media report have been analyzed with the following objectives:

The Katrina graffiti reflects the original status of hurricane Katrina and its severe effect that took several lives n 2005 in the United States of America. However, it has not been tackled or managed well by the government agencies according to several researchers. It is unfortunate to find the lukewarm response of the federal, state, and local governments as an immediate response to the storm which resulted in an investigation by the United States Congress.

It was also felt that some bias has been shown by the government as far as the protection of the people is concerned in terms of racial discrimination. Some reporters felt that it was not only a natural disaster rather it was a political disaster (Eric Klinenberg, 2002). Most notable in media coverage was the effect of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans due to the failure of the flood protection system and in coastal Mississippi.
