...Refining Solutions Paper PHL/458 May 6, 2013 Dr. David Jung Refining Solutions Paper The original issue of my paper stems from all the turmoil the world has witnessed over the past few years. Public shootings and bombings have intensified the support of more stringent gun laws. The support of gun control is the problem I have chosen to rectify. Stringent gun laws and the public backing of gun control are a rising social problem in America. This is a problematic issue because the fundamental perception of the world each individual has affects the way he or she takes in empirical information. This is a sensitive issue with dire implications and the controversy is and always has been immense. My first solution to this problem was to have some sort of declaration to never be able to change the Second Amendment. A Gallup poll survey confirms that 73% of Americans believe the Second Amendment “guarantees” the right to keep guns and only a mere 20% believe it exists to enable state militias. If the First Amendment fails, the Second Amendment becomes a necessity. The Founding Fathers were clear when they declared, “a well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” If the Second Amendment is ever repealed it would be considered unconstitutional, taken away by a tyrannical government without the will of the people, there would be a revolution. The second solution...

...Refining ideas PHL/458 University of Phoenix Refining ideas When refining ideas, there are three steps to follow to produce a viable solution. The first step is to work out the details by determining exactly how a solution will be applied. The second step is to examine those details for imperfections and the third step is to make improvements that will eliminate imperfections (Ruggiero, 2009). The original issue seen on week two was a computer malfunction. The problem with this is that it prevents me from completing my work on time. Many possible reasons are possible for the malfunction: it can be overload, an out- of- date computer or a person deleted vital programs in error causing the malfunction. Some initial solutions: can be to consult with the competition, Google the challenge presented and follow instructions on how to fix problem, change computers every week to a new one, completely abolish deadlines and anticipate computer damage before it happens by auto-testing the computer every 15 minutes for potential malfunctions. While doing a critical examination of best solution, these questions are to be addressed and answered: What exactly is to be done? The answer is to anticipate computer damage. How is it to be done? A device that alerts the user that a computer malfunction is imminent, the user can immediately click on a defense software to rescue or fix the malfunction before the work is lost, preventing...

...Refining Solutions Travis Lara March 24, 2014 PHL-458 Carrie Woodhouse My issue happened about a year ago. I had to decide weather or not I should stay in the military or get out. This decision would change everything, not just in my life, but my families life. My first solution would be to stay in the military. With this solution came a lot of sacrifice. If I stayed in the military I would be receiving orders out of California, which is where home is, unaccompanied. Unaccompanied means that I would be moving without my family. I would be in a different state or country for two years without my family. The second solution would be to get out. The scary part about that is that I didn't have a job secured for when I got out as of yet. I had been applying through several law enforcement agencies and interviewing, but had not yet received a yes from any. I was given 24 hours to make the decision. I soon decided that the best solution for me was to get out. Although this is a decision left a lot to the unknown I just could not imagine being away from my wife and kids for two years. According to Ruggiero in Chapter 11 there are three steps to refining a solution. Step one is working out the details. In this step you need figure out exactly how your decision will be applied. Step two is finding imperfections and complications. In this step you check for common kinds of imperfections, compare the solution to competing ones, consider what changes your solution...

...Solve a Problem PHL/458 Determining Disciplinary Action for Employees in the Workplace My role as manager requires me to observe all loss prevention issues and perform the necessary disciplinary action associated with them. When observing employee issues and assessing the disciplinary action previously taken in the past, I noticed the course of action for offenders was limited. You simply were reprimanded once and fired if the problem persisted. I initially thought this was unfair to our employees because every problem did not warrant the same disciplinary action. After critical examination of possible solutions to the disciplinary process within our company, I concluded management should implement better training for its employees. This would help in our attempts to maximize production and minimize employee mistakes. After evaluating this argument and eliminating other possible solutions and assumptions, I decided this resolution would be best for our company as well as our employees. By providing extensive training to our employees, we would cut down on employee errors and correct mistakes that have been previously made in the past. While starting the process of implementing the new training for our employees, I realized the solution of providing training was a good idea for our company and its employees; however, this solution did not completely solve the original problem of the actual disciplinary action that would be used when an employee made a mistake...

...Refining Solutions Paper Rosalyn Darisse McGee PHL/458 August 5, 2013 David McCarthy Refining Solutions Paper According to Vincent R. Ruggiero” Refining your solutions means making good ideas even better-that is, making the results of your creative thinking more effective, more workable, more attractive” (Ruggiero, 2009 P. 189). The three steps to follow in refining your solutions are to working out the detail, finding imperfections and complications and making problems. Original Problem The original issue that I had a problem with was the ability to learn the new 787 Dreamliner in order to complete my statement of work in an efficient amount of time. The initial solution was to pair up with someone that was more knowledgeable in that particular area or system and learn it that way. Several reasons that I was not able to learn this airplane with the time frame given were not enough time, systems were more complex than what I was used to, and also there were too many mechanics that were picked over me to get that job to actually learn it. After looking at the solution that I had decided based upon my time frame, and talking it over with some co-workers I had to rethink my solutions to the problem. Initial Solutions Initial solutions that I seem fit that will benefit my time schedule would be to learn the airplane on my spare time. Playing with the airplane while no one was working was also an option, that way I can see which systems affects each other, and also how...
