- Describe all above with a TQM and a Sustainable Green focus. You can find good ideas for these if you read the first two Chapters of the TQM eBook. There is a section on the dimensions / attributes of quality. Try to address each dimension of quality in your collaborative 4+1 company network. Done
- There is one more thing I would like to ask you to do for explaining your company's (i.e. the 5th company's) Sustainable Green focus. Please go on the web, Google YouTube, and then in the field at the top type in 'Paul Ranky' (this is a search field and you'll find it easily). It will show you over 120+ links to short video clips I put up on YouTube. The goal of this part of the assignment is for you to findany 6 short clips on Paul Ranky, YouTube that deal with marine life, (i.e. diving) and use those clips to convince your virtual board of directors and shareholders, that your 5th company MUST NOT POLLUTE the world, in ANY ways, ANY time... it MUST BE SUSTAINABLE AND GREEN; not just sustainable... but green too... these video clips show pristine marine eco-systems that must not be destroyed by greed, incompetence, or human error... Thanks; this will put your company on the map! Well done!To document this, please write a specific statement about your company, how you will prevent any toxic waste or pollution to be generated and released into any eco-system (land, sea, river, or air) in about 250 words. Please make sure you reference the 6 videos you have chosen from Paul Ranky, YouTube by putting in their individual filenames, and/or with hyperlinks to YouTube if you have a web-page at this stage already for your assignment. (If you don't have a web-page yet, please add the hyperlinks to the Paul Ranky, YouTube dive video clips you have selected later, but definitely in Assignment 5.) Thanks! Done
- Also address each of the eight ISO9001:2008 quality principles. These can trigger good ideas to innovate! You can read about all this in the TQM eBook. Take each principle from the eBook Chapter and address it explicitely how you will deal with it in your (i.e. in the 5th) company? Pls. don't try to write a novel. This is a technical document. Please follow this structure I give you in the syllabus. It makes it easier for everybody. Address each important aspect point-by-point. Don't forget the TQM focus! You have to spell out the TQM focus and Sustainable Green Quality aspects of your company! (Many students forget this !)

- Besides the business plan in this assignment, please see the videos in your eLearning Pack and write a short 200-250 word, or so long summary on each of the videos (in the 'V' marked DVD in your eLearning Packs), focusing on TQM and Sustainable Green aspects: For each video you should furthermore answer the following two questions in 3-4 sentences each: What TQM lessons have I learned from the video, that I could implement in my 5th company? and What Sustainable and Green Quality aspects did I find useful for my 5th company? Done
- Last, but not least do not forget your social networking content at the end of this assignment, as part of it. During the semester, I will email you several links to short technical articles, that are really important for you to follow and understand what is going on in the world in our subject area. This is particularly important to some foreign students who are not used to get their news via the Internet. You suppose to chose three of these articles (for every assignment, including this one, as well as the Midterm) and then discuss at least THREE (3) of them with at least one more member in your class, and then document your findings in your social networking part of EACH assignment. I would like to see that you are discussing the content of these articles. Usually in a semester I send out about 20-25 short and current articles to chose from. Through my editorial work with major journals I get hundreds of just published articles that I can choose from... I am looking for your executive summaries of the discussions you have documented with one or more of your classmates via tel., email, in-person, and/or video conferencing. These activities are all part of each assignment now and therefore should be documented in your web page as an executive summary, just as the rest of your assignments are. The detailed discussions of these articles could be saved on Moodle, or anywhere else (your choice), in a digital format. Your executive summaty in your assignment should hyperlink to the detailed discussions (where ever you have stored them). All in one; nice object-oriented principle; not zillions of separate files please! Done
- Please note, that if anything is missing of the above, I cannot accept it. As stated earlier, to make sure, that you won't miss anything, just copy and paste the above listed requirements into your assignment answer section and start to work on each aspect... really easy... like a checklist in TQM... Since this is your own project plan, you cannot submit any other assignments until you don't have a grade for Assignment 0. This might delay other assignments, and therefore you'll loose the rework option... Therefore PLEASE follow the above list carefully and contribute to each section as well as you can. Done
- In each assignment in this class please focus on What Problems You Want to Solve and How? This will make you a more efficient and better professional. Done
