Production Planning and Quality Management: MGMT430

Deliverable Length: 3 - 5 paragraphs

Assignment Type: Discussion Board

The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.

Using the library and Web resources, complete the following:

• Select 4 types of quality management tools or methods. These could include control charts, diagrams, flow charts, consensus building, calculations, histograms, checklists, and so forth.
• Contrast and compare these tools or methods, identifying their purpose and relationship.
• Which ones would be most useful for the company?
• Comment on at least 2 other postings related to Question 1.

In your own words, please post a response to the Discussion Board and comment on 2 other postings. You will be graded on the quality of your postings.

MGMT 430 unit 5 Individual project

Production Planning and Quality Management: MGMT430

Deliverable Length:  5 - 6 pages

After all your production planning analysis, you have been asked to prepare a Quality Management Planning Strategy for management and employees.

Using course materials and other resources, develop a strategy document with the following action items:

• Identify the overall Quality Management Process (TQM, ISO 9000, Six Sigma) the company will use, and explain the rationale for such change. Be aware of industry requirements (i.e. service operations are different from manufacturing, and each process may offer specific advantages for a specific industry). Describe how you will implement the process in the company (make any necessary reasonable assumptions you need with the scenario, such as company organization or structure).
• Once you identify and explain the process, outline the specific tools and techniques the company will use for quality management. Consider the usefulness of all the charting and statistical quality metric techniques and identify which ones it should use.
• Develop a communications memorandum to the factory workers announcing these changes and explaining the value of them. Remember, quality management principles all focus on employee involvement and continuous improvement.

Please submit your assignment.
