Advance
- PROCESS MODEL: Develop your own company’s modular, object-oriented TQM system model/ process model in CIMpgr. (Read the The main eTextbook of the course by Ranky, Paul, G.: An Introduction to Total Quality Management & Control and ... Use the process model templates in the eBook with your content and designs too; don't copy-paste only.... read the web article specified below). Visio 2003 version is compatible with the templates, and is available FREE from NJIT (as a free download for students), or for some days free from Microsoft over the web. Obviously you can use any other good 2D drawing tool too. (I use the best, OmniGraffle, but it works only on the Mac; sorry no MS version.) Done
- PROCESS MODEL: MAIN PROCESSES: Create and show your main processes that relate to total quality. Done
- COLLABORATION: Also show how your (real or made up) company can collaborate in terms of designing quality and Green Engineering into every product/ process / service. Done
- MORE COLLABORATION: Collaborate with companies given to you in your eLearning Pack (there are 4 companies you have to collaborate with; explain HOW you are planning to do this together with THEM. YOU MUST WORK WITH THEM; THEY should be able to help you... sorry; the boss insists...). Done
- Note, that system models in all cases should include the CIMpgr diagrams, 3 layers of object classes min. (e.g. A0, A1...Ai, and A1.1...A1.j), the Done
- PD: Process Descriptions (PDs) and the Done
- DD: Data Dictionaries (DDs); The new eBook version has a lot on DDs and PDs, please incorporate at least one of the listed methods and show me that you have read it... also, as further examples see the ADAM with IT Electronic Journal research articles. Please note, that if you just use plain English for PD and DD instead of the more structured and formal methods described in the eBook you'll loose a lot of grade points (at least 50%) in this assignment! Done
- PANORAMA NAVIGATION MAP: In the new TQM eBook please find the panoramic navigation map of a small USA town with 360 degree panoramas (very cool new technology I have created and programmed with my brother). Find this panorama set in the TQM eBook, review it and explain how you could use this technology for understanding processes, for modeling processes, and for improving processes. Write about 250 words on this after having reviewed the panoramic navigation objects, as well as the related links with more pictures, videos and other objects. Please do not ask me to find it for you in the eBook; IF you read it, you'll find it... but you have to read it... Done
- INVENT & MANAGE: Note, that this is an opportunity for you to INVENT a NEW TQM Process and then MANAGE this change, and show us how you would do this, by documenting this change process using our process modeling method, based on the formalism and spirit of international quality standards. Done
- Last, but not least do not forget your social networking content at the end of this assignment, as part of it (see above). Done
- Summary (i.e. what has been achieved) Done
- Further work needed / proposed Done
- References and Bibliography (including the CDs, Internet as a main source of information) Done
- Appendix (- if necessary, e.g. drawings, diagrams) Done
- Grade your own assignment and let me know why you have given yourself the particular grade. The reason why I am asking you to do this is because unfortunately some of you miss a lot in every assignment... by having to grade yourself, hopefully you'll recognize this issues, follow the syllabus and submit a proper assignment... Done
Typical Mistakes Checklists
- Typical Mistakes: Why am I loosing grade points in this assignment? Done
- The assignment's administrative section is missing, and/or is incomplete... Done
- The above outline is NOT followed, some aspects are missing Done
- The models / solutions are copied from the samples offered; Sorry, you must innovate and create your OWN designs, and models. Done
- The collaborative companies are not included and discussed properly. We do not understand how do they help you with your TQM efforts... Sorry, you MUST collaborate with them, and we want to see this documented! Done
- The system model in CIMpgr has notational (syntax) and / or logical (semantic) mistakes, and/or is incomplete. Note, that both syntax and semantics are important and reduce large number of points. You must understand my models first to avoid such mistakes. CIMpgr is a graphical language; like speaking with graphics versus words! Everything you draw has a meaning! (Like traffic signs when you drive... I hope this is clear.) Done
- The Process Descriptions (PD) are missing or very poorly described; the student doesn't even know what PD is standing for... Done
- The Data Dictionary (DD) is missing or very poorly described, does not foollow the methods explained in the eBook; the student doesn't even know what DD is standing for... Done
- The panorama process modeling / navigation is NOT addressed and discussed as required above Done
- CIMpgr diagrams are not annotated with text as shown inhttp://www.cimwareukandusa.com/CIMpgr1.html , but a look-up table is offered with parametric data (e.g. I1A0). (Note, that this is bad practice, since it kills team comms. opportunities) Done
- We don't see the TQM approach... with green focus. Done
- Social networking and discussions on the papers are missing... Done
