Discussion – Control Systems

Due Saturday

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Discuss some control systems that help organizations manage performance, productivity, and quality.

example:
When managing the control process of performance, one can utilize the four control process steps, which are (1) establish standards; (2) measure performance; (3) compare performance to standards; and (4) take corrective action, if necessary (Kinicki, Williams p.515) This tool gives the manager spelled out data to train the employee with and use when coaching an employee that needs to improve their performance. It removes any personal issues that might arise because it is based on facts.

    To set controls for quality, the PDCA cycle can be very effective. This is something I have experience with at my former job. The operations director would use this cycle with the different departments to create better efficiencies. The shipping department made many quality improvements due to using the PDCA cycle.

    Also, at my previous job, we had an ERP system that we used as a central hub for all departments. All of our reports were generated from the ERP. We could use the system to monitor sales and track inventory. One of my duties was managing the repair parts department. I would use the ERP to forecast sales of parts and time my orders to the factory so I had the right parts in stock at the right times of the year.

Malware

Installing malicious software, or malware, is a method a hacker might to gain access to personal information or access to a victim’s computer.

For this discussion, pick a specific malware, explain what type of malware it is, and how it might be used to compromise a victim. For example, i love you is a worm and it was able to self replicate. This allowed it to clog up systems and prevent users from working.

Then discuss if you have ever been a victim or know someone who was and how they recovered, if they did.

Google Cloud-Systems Analysis and Design

INSTRUCTIONS:

You have been contacted by a CEO of a mid-sized 200 user family owned business to research options for cloud computing. They understand that the cloud isnt going anywhere anytime soon and feel its time to make the jump. They manage their firewall and have an on-prem server environment with AD, DC, DNS, and Exchange. They only use local backup for their server. There is no DR beyond that. They have a 50/10 coax pipe for internet. All computers were recently upgraded to Windows 10.

Your task is to research the following: Google Cloud. The CEO would like to know what would work best for them from an efficiency, security, and DR standpoint. The CEO is also interested in something he just learned about, an intranet!

You will provide an architecture checklist–SEE ATTACHMENT BECAUSE I HAVE COMPLETED THIS BUT THIS ATTACHMENT IS WHERE YOU WILL FIND THE TOPICS THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED IN THIS PAPER. You will write a minimum of three pages citing AT LEAST 5 SOURCES, not including the book. Please use APA format.

Dont just sell the CEO on what you think he should do, make him aware of both sides of the coin. If you think on-prem is the way to stay, make it known. If cloud is the way, be convincing. However, try to think of other scenarios or what-ifs that may come up. Keep in mind the users experience, i.e. learning curve. The CEO has no set budget so dont let that be a factor but also remain reasonable.

END OF INSTRUCTIONS–

COMMENTS: I believe that the way to go for this scenario is the cloud.

Concept Map of the various benefits and other motivational factors that are provided to employees/members

sing MS PowerPoint to create your Concept Map.

Using your current organization (or an organization you are familiar with), design a Concept Map of the various benefits and other motivational factors that are provided to employees/members.  Be sure to include as much research as possible and thoroughly consider all experiences that could be used as motivators for employees/members.  You’ll need to link the components of your Concept Map to Maslow’s theory to illustrate how your organization meets the various levels of needs. 

Healthcare Operations Management

Option #1:  Failure Mode Effects Analysis
The deliverable for this assignment is a paper and a completed Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA). First, identify a common operational challenge (such as emergency room waiting time, operating room turn-over, timely patient discharge) in healthcare organizations and use the FMECA tool to identify potential failure modes. Then, for the top three modes, develop 2-3 tactics to prevent the failure. To assist you, here is a brief video on how to use a FMEA (Links to an external site.).

Your paper must meet the following requirements:

4-5 pages in length, not including the cover page and reference page.
Follow the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements (Links to an external site.). Each paper should include an introduction, a body with at least two fully developed paragraphs, and a conclusion.
