...Discuss the difference between a product and a system Directly from the text; System is a composite consist of people, procedures, and facilities and/or hardware working in a given environment to perform specific task. (Stephans, 60) Product is; not so well explained in the text; the hardware can be most easily said to be two things the tools used to produce an item and the item produced itself. This is seen in the text when it both describes a screwdrivers purpose and the output at a facility being a weapon system. 4. List the three general steps involved in initiating the planning and development of a system safety program. Developing the best plan for any organization will start with the most basic of steps: Determine where you want to go. Examine the generic model. Modify it as necessary to meet the needs of your organization. Determine where you are. Compare your existing system safety program with the model and systematically list all differences. Develop a detailed plan to close the gap. Tailor and edit the procedures given here, if necessary, to produce a systematic plan for transforming your present program into the ideal program. (Stephans, 61) 1. What are the three broad categories of system safety tasks? Who is generally responsible for each task? • Hazard identification [identifying]– includes determining what parts of the project constitue a hazard and determininig the location of these hazards.

...more active role in the organization and its strategy. I continuously strive for my own personal development, including going back to school as an adult to achieve my bachelor’s degree. I understand the importance of continuous development and work to instill that passion in my work and across my teams. Companies to work for The top three companies that I am interested in working for are Locke Martin, Raytheon, and Boeing. Each of these companies, are involved in the aerospace industry and hold government contracts. This line of work related to the IT development for aerospace has always fascinated me. I truly enjoy investigating the electronics division, along with the radar technology is amazing works of science. Lockeed Martin Lockeed Martin is the number one IT provider for the Federal Government (lockeedmartin.com, 2015). For an organization to win government contracts they must meet a very high standard of process flow. “Lockeed Martin does so much more than just planes they work on space, aerospace, defense, air traffic, predict cyber-attacks, personal/financial data security, and much more” (lockeedmartin.com, 2015). Working for Lockeed Martin would allow me to bring some of what I already do know in the IT field and apply it to what I want to do in my dream job. Raytheon Raytheon does much of the same thing that Lockeed...

...Management Planning – Boeing Boeing is the world’s leading aerospace company and the largest manufacture of commercial jetliners and military aircraft combined (Boeing, 1995-2010). To maintain their success of the industry’s leader, one must look at the function of management planning along with the organizations levels of planning and how they are aligned to help the company maintain the leading position within the aerospace industry. First we must look at the function and focus of management within the organization. According to Splinder (2008), “the management model used to direct the company’s planning focus is simple but an effective method for planning, acting, analyzing, and reinforcing methods that produce results. These are driven by Boeings aptitude to encourage growth and leadership from within the organization.” Boeing’s management established goals and objectives focused on financial performance, quality, customer satisfaction and growth, and growth in productivity (Splinder, 2008). The company would need to deliver results with performance and stock prices and hold employees accountable to achieve their goals and objectives. The company would also need to consider the impact legal issues, ethics, and corporate social responsibility would have on their success in achieving their plan. In 1996 as the company was merging with McDonnell Douglas Corporation, the company would go through a legal issue and experience the impact this issue would have on their...

...Q1.How has Embraer managed to succeed as a global competitor from within the confines of an emerging economy? Advantages and disadvantages Embraer has derived from the Brazilian context. Strong government support created competitive advantages in the aircraft industry and led Embraer to become a global player. As a factor condition in the determination of national competitive advantage by Porter (Exhibit 1), the government established an environment where Embraer was able to procure raw materials easily through no tax or duty on imports. To support Embraer’s business, related and supporting industries were developed by the Brazilian government setting aeronautics as a priority to grow the nation’s economy. The government tried to develop this industry not only for military needs but also for the civilian sector, so the company enjoyed special privileges such as being the supplier of choice for Federal agencies. These led to the successful entry into the U.S. market through certification from the U.S. FAA, resulting in Embraer capturing a major share of the commuter turboprop market. Advantages: • Embraer’s most profitable years came after the company was privatized with approval from the government in December 1994. In addition to increased flexibility, the privatization allowed Embraer to reduce the workforce and introduce organizational changes such as revamped incentive structures. • The Brazilian economy provided Embraer with lower labour costs (e.g. $10/hour lower...

...is to describe how ethical principles can address organizational issues. The organization that I have chosen to explore is the Boeing Company specifically and the aerospace manufacturing industry as a whole, more generally. I will cover the role that external social pressures play in influencing the industry in both their compliance with government and professional ethics. I will also endeavor to highlight how the pressures brought to bear on the industry by the public and the government is relevant to their decisions both corporately and individually by their employees. Finally, I will share my thoughts on the relationship between legal and ethical issues with regard to the industry. To begin then, let’s explore what role external social pressures have in influencing the Boeing Company and by extension, the aerospace industry’s organizational ethics. The level of trust that must be present by the public in the company that builds the airplane they fly in is best described in the words of the Boeing employee code of conduct “…must not engage in conduct or activity that may raise questions as to the company's honesty, impartiality, or reputation or otherwise cause embarrassment to the company.” (Boeing, 2014) Boeing and the entire aerospace industry are hyper aware of their image and the perceptions of the flying public. When social pressure is brought to bear the entire industry takes notice...

The US is right next to Australia and followed by Canada when it comes to cereal. I think we can attribute this to the natural resource we harvest which is grain. The US seems to have a great opportunity because we have such fertile land to plant and grow grain for cereal. The US is at the top of the Aerospace market when it comes to comparative advantage This may change in the near future since the government has cut spending in Aerospace technology unless private companies decide to embark on this endeavor.

...Boeing versus Airbus: The End Results becomes an Air Force Debacle Jason Bourne Park University November 17, 2009 Abstract This paper explores the highly controversial bid process and subsequently protest for the Air Force’s KC-X refueling tanker. The main participants for the new refueling tanker contract were Boeing and Northrop Grumman (NGC) as prime contractor through a joint venture with the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (EADS). The Boeing Corporation has been the standard in the aerial defense industry. Their challengers, NGC and EADS, the owner of the Airbus, comprised of two very formable entities capable of taking on the aerospace giant Boeing. There were a lot at stake. Boeing has considered in being the “pride of American aerospace” unseated from the top perch of the aerospace industry by losing military contract potentially worth about $100 billion dollars. (Herszenhorn and Bailey, 2008) Overall, Boeing was a heavy favorite to win the contract being that it has manufactured tankers in the past for the Air Force. Two weeks later after the announcement, Boeing filed an appeal through the General Accountability Office (GAO) to protest the Air Force’s decision. This paper will discuss the Boeing’s basis of appeal and contrast them with the GAO’s findings in their protest. The source selection of the aerial refueling tanker contract became one of the most controversial procurement process in the history of the United States. Boeing versus...
