...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...

Identify if the topic you chose, as presented by both articles, is a problem or an issue and explain what makes it a problem or an issue. If you believe the articles present both problems and issues, identify and explain what the problems are and what the issues are. The problem is, in order to have medication which is safe for human consumption, it needs to be tested. When the testing needed is based on the use of animals, it becomes an issue because many individuals believe that the research is implacable, barbarous, expensive, and erroneous. It is also argued that it is not necessary and that more emphasis should be put on medical prevention. Supporters of animal research believe that we would not have the medical advances in treatment and medication that we do, were it not for the experiments done on animals and that it is key to preventing disease, . 2. Were the problems or issues expressed effectively? Describe how the problems or issues were or were not best expressed. I believe that both articles effectively...

...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...

...daily schedule evenly. Now that I have established the main problem and gave the initial solution it is time to refine and give the final solution to managing my time evenly. This paper will look at the procedure in refining the problem to the main issue of poor management. As established in chapter 10 and 11 in, The art of thinking : A guide to critical and creative thought textbook, there are three solutions that were discussed in solving the issue of not managing time effectively. The first solution was creating a schedule using your phone such as a note pad or calendar to put all the events, assignments and responsibilities that need to be accomplished for the month. The second initial solution was to put together a plan to establish certain time needed to finish these tasks in the schedule. “The third and final step in refining the solution is to make improvements that will eliminate imperfections”(Ruggiero, 2009). This initial solution comes into play when you push yourself to actually accomplish your to do list. Now that the solutions to solve the issue have been established it is now time to look deeper and clarify what the best conclusion will be. As states above the critical examination has been determined to the solution of managing time wisely. The three initial solutions are somewhat fair but there are a couple of flaws that need to be pointed out. For starters, in the first solution when making a schedule there is plenty...

...Refining Solutions Refining your solutions means making god ideas even better – that is, making the results of your creative thinking more effective, more workable, more attractive (Ruggiero, V. R. 2009, Ch. 10). In this paper I will address how I will refine some solutions in regards to the issue at my workplace. The issue at work is majority of my subordinate are assuming they have plenty of free time to talk to each other, vice getting work done. I am constantly reminding them to keep it down or be quite. I have also observed that with this issue work productivity is decreasing dramatically. I have addressed my concern to management about this issue but with no resolution. Some initial solutions I have come up with include. One, omitting my subordinate’s lunch break and smoking breaks. Two, having them report to me on an hourly basis with what they have accomplished during that hour. Three, having them stay overtime for every minute I observe them absent from their desk. Four, having management assume full responsibility. Once you have decided on a solution, you can just implement it. Most of the important problems and issue you will encounter, however, are more demanding (Ruggiero, V. R. 2009, Ch. 10). The best solution I choose in order to resolve this issue was to hold management responsible. Management should know the where about and productive of every employee that is under their supervision.

...Week Three Refining Resolutions PHL/458 University of Phoenix Refining Solutions It is essential to refine ideas and solutions to find the highest quality solution to a problem. The creative thinking process is used to produce ideas but the critical thinking process is used to evaluate and refine ideas and solutions. Applying criticism to ideas and solutions reduces the risk for error and makes good ideas even better (Ruggiero, 2009). In this paper Arguments will be evaluated and revised resulting in a refined and final solution to the problem. Original Issue How do I find more personal time for myself without neglecting my friends and family? Or simply just taking a day to rest, relax or do something fun. Through close observation of my family, friends and myself, I discovered some unhidden feelings of frustration. These feelings originated because of the lack of communication from me to my friends and family. Everyone that I care about are unaware of their demands on my time or how they made me feel when I was deployed and was unable to be there for birthdays, holidays or special occasions. I would get emails and letters in the mail when I was deployed and it was depressing see how much everyone depended on me to keep the family together and plan all the functions. Initial Solutions With the importance of having free time and being able to balance my time with family and friends, I dove into my imagination and brainstormed for solutions. Initial solutions...

...Why Gas Prices are higher in California than in other Parts of US English 123 James L Hicks Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract The rising gasoline and oil prices have become a global concern since petroleum has many uses around the world and yet its prices have continued rising for the last sixty years. This paper sought to find out why gas prices are higher in California than in other parts of America. The literature reviewed showed that West gasoline market dominated by California is defined by tight balance between supply and demand. Other factors found to be contributing the escalating gas price in California include isolation of the state from other refining centers, market conditions including international demand, Wall Street speculation, poor policies leading to uncontrolled oil cartels, decline of oil production during technical failure, political interferences, and increasing prices of crude oil due to demand forces. Despite there being no quick solution to the challenge, temporary measures such as efficient use of the available resource while looking for alternative cheaper source of energy could alleviate the challenge. Why Gas Prices are Higher in California than in Other Parts of US The Rising gasoline and oil prices have today become a world concern (Garrington, 2012). More concerns are raised considering that petroleum is an important product whose price continues escalating for the last sixty...
