In meeting with the process owner and sponsor, we immediately advised per our analysis, added in ‘white’ in the Flow Chart Diagram (Table D), further process to correct material issues and keep the project moving.
Evaluation
Note – We find in the map a significant drain on finance to labor and resources, due to incorrect material, prolonged project time, causing further overhead and loss in profit. We redirected our investigation to further questions to the key players in the ordering and estimating of materials. This accounts for a majority of the devastating overhead and lost time of the stakeholders. Further note – a bottleneck with the supplier and unskilled workforce are also evident. We will utilize the measurement phase to help

Pareto Chart Diagram (Table B) shows a strong correlation between incorrect materials and labor costs. The control chart below shows the process system in control and needing to change or the process would continue.
The overage in hours is staggering, at $130,000 per year (being $2,500 per week) or 5,200 hours on an average. A further overage of materials and direct labor cost totaling $120,000 per year in incorrect materials, for a total of $250,000 combined in reduction of costs, increasing resources of the company and client satisfaction. After we brain stormed on Supplies, process activities, output activities, and customer feedback (SIPOC) and developed further strategy for decision-making. According to Pyzdek,T., & Keller, (2010) “a (SIPOC) is a flowcharting technique that helps identify those processes that have the greatest impact on customer satisfaction” (p. 94). That drastically affects the project cost and impact of the (BVA) Business value analysis. Upper and lower control limits identified with an X-bar and R chart to validate the process capability with a process mean of 34.84Hr and standard deviation of 1.874Hr.
We concluded that the lack of a continuous process improvement(s) program (CPI) has directly related to outer influences crippled this organization. A Cause and Effect Diagram produced focus efforts that directly affected on the overage of hours. This focus of incorrect materials has an impact on the process as a whole and
These processes are not performed in isolation. The end result relies heavily on the satisfactory completion of all processes and the communication of all functional areas involved. By viewing these processes as a whole, management can identify process inefficiencies. These inefficiencies may include delays or queuing at process bottlenecks, lack of control or checking, or places responsibility for process activities is not clear.
The week four individual paper addresses the implementation of Activity Based Costing (ABC) by Super Bakery, Inc., a virtual corporation founded by Franco Harris. Specifically, management strategies, the reasoning behind an ABC system, and the alternatives of a job order cost system or a process order cost system are assessed for this enterprise.

* Scrap and Re-work - When organizations attempt to force more work through already constrained production processes, attention to detail tends to suffer. As a result, error rates typically rise.

Re-inventing the wheel? Research which duplicates other work unnecessarily or which is not of sufficient quality to contribute something useful to existing knowledge is in itself unethical.
One of the big operational inefficiencies is in material management large lead times of the principal and more expensive
6-15% of construction cost is found to be wasted due to rework of defective components detected late during construction and 5% of construction cost is wasted due to rework of defective components detected during maintenance.[i] Within the current drywall processes, we have found multiple operational issues which may be leading to increased quality problems and project costs. Some of the areas that need to be addressed are forecasting, process flow, and inventory management and supply chain problems.
Below is a summary of cost incurred by the XYZ Company through FY 1999. It should be noted that XYZ Company has generated hard copies of every proposal written for not only the clientele but also our Sales Executives, in order to keep them abreast of changes. This was to ensure that the Sales Executive could respond to all questions as concisely and efficiently as possible.
The process view of work, in chapter one of Statistical thinking: Improving business performance (2nd Ed. People are encouraged to “blame the process, not themselves” when working to improve. Joseph M. Juran pointed out that the source of most problems is in the process we use to do our work. He discovered the “85/15 rule,” which states that 85% of the problems are in the process and the remaining 15% are due to the people who operate the process. W. Edwards Deming states that the true figure is more like 96/4.We may debate the correct figure, but it is clear that the vast majority of problems are in the process. (Horel & Snee, 2012) To summarize what is stated that the error is the people in this case the pharmacist it is 85% to 96% the prescription filling process for HMO pharmacy. What is SIPOC? It is model process that’s identify critical measurements for improvement, resulting an improve business. SIPOC is an acronym that stands for Suppliers Inputs, Process, Outputs, and Customer. The supplier is a group or person that provides the input or output. Inputs is the materials or information that flows from the supplier to the process, to the output and then to the customer. The Process is a certain event of time turns the process input into output. Outputs are the product or service that is created by the process. The customer’s people or person that uses the process outputs.
Drives estimations on the basis of calculating average or better price from number of vendor bid.
One of the challenges that are experienced in the analysis of direct material costs and other direct cost is overestimation and especially on renovation projects. It has become a challenge in the sense that contractors submit their quotations without putting into consideration necessary some factors. These factors include visiting the site where the project is in order to know the exact materials that are required for the
The most important process is to Provide such a diagrammatic representation of processes and the procedures to be undertaken to the initiate, also implement and review effects of the changes within the whole project.
Time needs to be taken to gather several team members of each department and any department that may touch any business process and a structured flow diagram created that will show an analytical visualisation of the process and will allow the team members to pick apart the process and give a view point from several perspectives, with the idea being that by opening the review of the process to several skilled individuals, that a comprehensive representation of the process is
Pareto Diagram: aims at assessing and addressing the barriers that have the most significant potential for enhancement. It indicates the vulnerability frequency of the problems presented in a descending bar graph. Proven Pareto principle vindicates that 20% of sources of barriers are likely to incur 80% of production process hence this helps the company to ensure the causes of problems are below the 20% threshold. For instance, by using the Pareto data from Coursework 1 (Figure 1), the company can use the information below to enhance quality and productivity.
