Hi all,

I’m working on a paper and need help.  Below is the Prompt–

 Prompt: To complete this milestone, you will submit a case analysis of your selected organization or company. In your submission, assess and describe your  organization’s or company’s internal organization capabilities and recommend strategies for optimizing production based on a detailed analysis of existing  processes, resources (facilities, human resources, equipment/machines, supply chain/inventory), sustainability, and strategic business planning (SBP) goals. In this analysis, you will need to identify and recommend TQM and ISO 9000 principles and methods that utilize best business practices to ensure that the  company is consistently meeting the customers’ cost, quality, performance, and overall satisfaction expectations. 

This analysis will necessarily include the use of  global benchmarks to determine opportunities for competitive advantage. Additionally, assess the company’s current capacity and constraints in meeting  production goals or delivery of service. How does it manage its restraints? To begin this process, you will need to gather information about the organization’s or company’s current initiatives and processes, general policies, and stated  goals. Information can generally be found on the organization’s main website, in the annual report and mission statement, and in articles authored by the  company or outside analysts, such as ThomasNet.com, buy/sell sites (e.g., Jim Cramer), and investment companies (e.g., Fidelity, TD Ameritrade, or Vanguard). As operations management students and professionals, you are encouraged to use your own experience, understanding, and knowledge of business and  industry structure to drive your analysis.  Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: 

I. Aligning Resources to Market Opportunities

 A. Assess your company’s or organization’s internal capabilities and limitations with respect to its current operations. In your assessment, include  human, organizational, and infrastructure factors. B. Based on the company’s or organization’s internal capabilities and limitations, what expansion or business development opportunities can you  identify? How will these opportunities align to the current domestic and global markets? Your response should consider the political, economic,  social, and technical factors that affect the company. C. Based on the company’s or organization’s internal capabilities and limitations, what cost-savings opportunities can you identify? How will these  opportunities align to the current domestic and global markets? Your response should consider the political, economic, social, and technical  factors that affect the company. D. Describe the external threat factors in the domestic and global markets that the company or organization should consider when developing  these business development and cost-savings opportunities. Your response should consider the political, economic, social, and technical factors  that affect the company. 

II. Managing the Quality Imperative for Global Competition A. Based on your assessment of the company’s or organization’s internal capabilities and limitations and the opportunities you identified, select  total quality management (TQM) means that the company or organization could employ to strengthen organizational performance. Justify your selection. B. Based on your assessment of the company’s or organization’s internal capabilities and limitations and the opportunities you identified, select an  appropriate series from an ISO 9000 family of standards that the company or organization could employ to strengthen organizational  performance. Justify your selection. C. Based on the TQM and ISO 9000 benchmarks that you selected, recommend global best practices that strengthen organizational performance by  ensuring quality, cost containment, and customer satisfaction for the company or organization. Justify your recommendations. 

This analysis will be incorporated into the final project submission.  Guidelines for Submission: This assignment should be submitted as a 5- to 7-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman  font, and one-inch margins. You should use current APA style guidelines for your citations and reference list,

Thanks for your help; have a great week!

PS, the company subject is 3M, FYI.

Reply to:The beginning of life is all about developing and expanding and getting older in many regards is the opposite as it begins to see the decline in certain things with aging people. As people get older, disorders like anxiety, depression, delirium, and psychotic disorders such as Alzheimer’s are more likely to form (Comer & Comer, 2021). This can be a result of older people having fewer social interactions and that is where the possibility of depression and anxiety form. Another thing more common in aging adults is memory loss which can range from mild to severe, which can then be an early sign of dementia or Alzheimer’s. in order to help the aging population is to take advantage of facilities that specialize in cognitive behavioral enhancement is beneficial to keep them active and socialize (Comer & Comer, 2021). Promoting healthy eating and exercising is also another way to help with an aging mind.

Week 5 Assignment: Course Project Milestone: Annotated BibliographySubmit AssignmentDue Feb 7 by 11:59pmPoints 100Submitting a file uploadRequired ResourcesRead/review the following resources for this activity:Textbook: Chapters 9, 10LessonMinimum of 5 scholarly source (in addition to the textbook)InstructionsFirst, return to your topic chosen in the week three assignment.Answer this question: What are the personal and/or communal ethical factors that may be involved in determining the moral position of either side in that debate?Next, articulate and then evaluate the ethical positions  using Kantian ethics (that is, the categorical imperative) relative to the long standing debate (that is your topic chosen in the week three assignment).Finally, create a complete annotated bibliography for 5 academic scholarly sources. You will annotate each source. The sources should be relevant to your topic chosen in the week three assignment.Include the following:Publication detailsAnnotation (a detailed reading of the source)Each annotation section should include the following:Summarize key points and identify key terms (using quotation marks, and citing a page in parentheses).Describe the controversies or “problems” raised by the articles.State whether you agree or disagree and give reasons.Locate one or two quotations to be used in the final research project.Evaluate the ways in which this article is important and has helped you focus your understanding.Use the following as a model:APA ReferenceMezirow, J. (2003). Transformative learning as discourse. Journal of Transformative Education, 1(1), 58-63.Annotation ExampleIn this article, Mezirow (2003) makes a distinction between “instrumental” and “communicative” learning. “Instrumental learning” refers to those processes which measure and gauge learning, such as tests, grades, comments, quizzes, attendance records and the like. “Communicative learning,” on the other hand, refers to understanding created over time between individuals in what Mezirow calls “critical-dialectical-discourse,” (p. 59) which is a fancy way of saying, important conversation between 2 or more speakers. Another key idea Mezirow discusses is “transformative learning,” (p. 61) which changes the mind, the heart, the values and beliefs of people so that they may act better in the world. Mezirow argues that “hungry, desperate, homeless, sick, destitute, and intimidated people obviously cannot participate fully and freely in discourse” (p. 59). On the one hand, he is right: there are some people who cannot fully engage because their crisis is so long and deep, they are prevented. But, I don’t think Mezirow should make the blanket assumption that everyone in unfortunate circumstances is incapable of entering the discourse meaningfully. One thing is certain: if we gave as much attention to the non-instrumental forms of intelligence–like goodness, compassion, forgiveness, wonder, self-motivation, creativity, humor, love, and other non-measured forms of intelligence in our school curriculums, we’d see better people, actors in the world, and interested investigators than we currently have graduating high school.Writing Requirements (APA format)Length: 4-7 pages (not including title page or references page)1-inch marginsDouble spaced12-point Times New Roman fontTitle pageReferenceRachels, S., & Rachels, J.
