Advance
- CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS: Identify critical requirements, as they related to TQM, and greening. Done
- CORA: Develop your own company’s CORA sustainable green TQM requirements model using the CORA Excel Template in the TQM 3DeBook. You can use this template as is, nevertheless populate it with your own data. Add at least 15 customer requirements and engineering solutions. Done
- MAIN TQM REQUIREMENTS: Show your main TQM requirements, and solution processes in this spreadsheet, that you have to customize, based on the CORA template spreadsheet and the examples given in the eBook. Focus on explaining the results in detail: Done
- ANALYSIS OF THE CORA RESULTS: Answer these questions: What do you do with the calculated AIR numbers in the CORA spreadsheet and why? Please explain these in detail. Point out and explain in detail how you interpret the correlation values, the engineering solutions and the customer ratings for the top 3 AIR values (pls. read the eBook it is explained there in detail.). Note, that if you do not analyse the results professionally you'll be loosing many grade points (typically as much as 50%! Again this is IMPORTANT). Done
- YOUR EM DECISIONS: What are your decisions as an Engineering Manager and why? Again, explain these with a few sentences pls. Just developing the CORA spreadsheet is NOT the ANALYSIS of the results. You should be able to explain the results to your team. I need to see evidence of this process. AGAIN: this analysis of the results is VERY important! Just creating a CORA spreadsheet is NOT the analysis... sorry. You must spell out for the top three AIR results as follows: what do these results mean and what will your instructions be to your engineering management team? (Unfortunately you won't be able to avoid to read Chapters 6, 7 and 8 to get a good grade for this assignment...) Done
- COLLABORATION: Also show how your (real, or made up) company can collaborate in designing TQM into every product, process, service with the collaborative companies given 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; sorry; the boss says so...). 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 customer needs / requirements and related 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
- 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
- New feature of this course: 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...
