Lab 13: Home Waste Inventory
Objective:
This exercise will help familiarize you with the data collection and evaluation of data you collect over the period of several days.
Instructions:
There are two parts to this lab, both of which include some data analysis. Answers to written questions should be presented as complete sentences and
points will be deducted for spelling and grammar mistakes.
Part 1 – Home Waste Analysis
Use the table provided on the following page to analyze your personal waste stream over the period of three days. You will be analyzing both the number of items disposed of in each category, as well as estimating the weight and volume of waste you generate.
Based upon the data you collect, answer the following questions.
1.
How much of this waste could have been avoided by reducing reliance on disposable materials? Consider items that are disposable for which reusable alterna-
tives exist.
When looking at my household waste summary, one way that we reduce our reliance on disposable materials is by buying our milk and creamer products from the Holiday market. These milk containers are glass so while they do make up a lot of weight and recyclable class, we saved them and returned them directly to the store for recycling to get a credit on our grocery bill. This eliminates the need for waste management to pick up more weight in glass recyclables.
We also usually have a lot of paper and paper board waste, usually these are big boxes from Costco purchased items or the large boxes that they have you take all
your things home in. I do have reusable large, insulated grocery bags from Costco that would be a better option to use rather than using Costco’s large leftover boxes. However, I have a very imaginative daughter who loves making crafts out of every single large box that comes home from Costco, so we do utilize them to their maximum ability and capacity before tossing them.
2.
How much of this waste could have been avoided by reusing some of these materials?
I think some ways can be avoided by reusing the cardboard boxes or bringing my own reusable bags. I have a lot of food waste that added up quite a bit since I had to clean out my refrigerator, and I think a lot of that waste could’ve been reduced by composting it into my green can however I don’t think that Redding waste management allows us to do that yet.
3.
Do you compost food and yard waste? How much difference would removing these items from your waste stream make?
I currently do not compost my food waste because the city doesn’t allow us to put that in our green bins yet, but I am open to it in the future whenever we can do that. My daughter explained to me how her class did an assignment with worms and composting, and I think that might be a reasonable option that I could con-
sider reducing how much food waste I have. I also do not compost my yard waste because I have a Gardener who throws everything away in the green bin. Currently I don’t think that I have an ideal location on my property to compost yard waste, so I don’t believe that composting yard waste would be beneficial in my neighborhood. The biggest difference that could happen from removing food waste from my waste stream is likely because we are fortunate to have many different food options in my home, and that can be taken advantage of when there are too many choices like single serving snacks for my children.

Case Part B: Patient Satisfaction
Thirty patients who check out of the Metropolitan General
Hospital each week are asked to complete a questionnaire
about hospital service. Since patients do not feel well when
they are in the hospital, they typically are very critical of
the service. Management recorded the number of patients
who indicated dissatisfaction of any kind with the service
for each 30-patient sample for a 16-week period (see Excel
file, Hospital Case Part B spreadsheet).
Perform a data analysis for the Hospital. Prepare a report
that summarizes your findings and recommendations.
Include the following:
Questions for Part B:
1. What type of control chart would you use to monitor
customer satisfaction at the hospital?
2. Construct the appropriate three-sigma control chart.
3. What comments can you make about the results of the
questionnaire? Does the current process appear to be
in control? Explain.

Theories and concepts: Cause of the difficulties
In this section, I will explain the causes of the difficulties which I have explained above. The reason for the missing cages uses to be that the cage is still being picked or not and if the picker is still using the cage to pick the items then request the picker to drop the cage off to the packing department so that the items can be packed and sent out the shipping department for the delivery. Also, if the cage is not in the picking department buffer or pack buffer and is not being picked then as a process guide it was my duty to search for the cage at the packing stations first, and if not found then to escalate to the management so that relevant department can be contacted for the action.
During the critical pool time, there were a few shipments IDs use to get sent down from the picking department which they couldn’t send into the picker’s scanners as either the batch assigned for the item by the stowing department would be wrong or…

Background: Data about the frequency of adverse events related to inappropriate care in hospitals come from studies of medical records as if they represented a true record of adverse events. In a prospective, observational design we analyzed discussion of adverse events during the care of all patients admitted to three units of a large, urban teaching hospital affiliated to a university medical school. Discussion took place during routine clinical meetings. We undertook the study to enhance understanding of the incidence and scope of adverse events as a basis for preventing them
Methods: Ethnographers trained in qualitative observational research attended dayshift, weekday, regularly scheduled attending rounds, residents' work rounds, nursing shift changes, case conferences, and other scheduled meetings in three study units as well as various departmental and section meetings. They recorded all adverse events during patient care discussed at these meetings and developed a…
