...1. Project management: Planning, directing, and controlling resources (people, equipment, material) to meet the technical, cost, and time constraints of a project. 2. Project Structures: a. Pure Project: A structure for organizing a project where a self-contained team works full time on the project. b. Functional Project: in this structure, team members are assigned from the functional units of the organization. The team members remain a part of their functional units and typically are not dedicated to the project. c. Matrix Project: a structure that blends the functional and pure project structures. Each project uses people from different functional areas. A dedicated project manager decides what tasks need to be performed and when, but the functional managers control which people to use. 3. Work Breakdown Structure: (WBS) The hierarchy of project tasks, subtasks, and work packages. 4. The project planning algorithm: CPM 5. Major Points: a. Virtually every major organization has numerous projects underway at all times. b. The work breakdown structure should display a logical division and hierarchy of the elements of a project c. Three alternative project organizations are pure project, functional, and matrix. d. The matrix organizational form offers advantages of functional division while maintaining benefits of project responsibility. e. Critical path scheduling focuses attention on those activities in a project network that are the most critical in completing a...

...employee turn-over rates and sub-par customer service. Senior Leadership at peak have are trying to figure out whether the evident lack of employee job satisfaction is affecting company growth to a level that would require radical changes to be implemented in the company’s structure, culture, and protocols. The research question that Peak’s senior executives want answered is; is there a relationship between the employee's job satisfaction (DV) and the growth of the company (IV)? The variables are job satisfaction and company growth. Ho is that there is no relationship between job satisfaction (DV) and company growth (IV), and H1is that there is a relationship between job satisfaction (DV) and company growth (IV). Sample Population Survey Peak Health Care has initiated surveys of a sample population of its employees in order to prove or disprove the initial hypothesis, that there is no relationship between job satisfaction and company growth. The sample size will have to be large enough to provide the Peak’s analysts with a 95% confidence interval to ensure that the data accurately represents the overall climate of the population. It is also recommended that Peak stratify the sample so that the categorical breakdown will allow for more in depth analysis if it is needed. There also stands the question of validity, reliability, and security which can be answered by using an online database with an encrypted server to survey the participants and store the data....

...eighteen inches of the ceiling”. The second way that this will help improve employee productivy is by reducing the amount of time it takes to retrieve needed supplies, by streamline the storage process it will remove wasted time that it takes for laboratory technicians to retrieve the supplies needed. Buissness case: The current case of affairs is for customers to enter the laboratory and retrieve a ticket number from the counter, when their ticket is called they are processed at the front desk then moved to another waiting area. Once they are next in line they are taken to an individual curtained off room and a technician finds out if they are there for a blood draw or a urine sample. The technician then retrieves the needed supplies and returns to the customer who then provides the needed sample. The technician then labels the specimen and takes it to the back of the laboratory for processing. The plan once the lean management program is implemented is for a customer to enter the laboratory and check in, at this time the customer will receive an electronic buzzer. When the customer’s electronic buzzer goes off it will inform them of the room number to head to where a technician will be waiting will the necessary supplies required for...

...WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE (WBS) Remote Control Rotary Mower YVONNE MILES 06-166 PROJECT MANAGEMENT 627-6 NOVEMBER 15, 2015 INTRODUCTION The WBS is a view into the project which shows what work the project encompasses. It is a tool which helps to easily communicate the work and processes involved to execute the project. The Project Manager and project team use the WBS to develop the project schedule, resource requirements and costs. There are many ways you can present the WBS for your project; this template provides many of the most popular layouts from which you can choose. Depending on where in the Project Plan you're putting the WBS a different layout may be more suitable for you. For instance many Project Managers include a high level WBS within the project plan, then a detailed version as an appendix to the plan. You may find that you prefer one layout for a high level WBS and a different one for a detailed WBS. In order to save space in this template we only developed the WBS examples down to the third level. In your project you will want to develop them down to a much more detailed level using the 8 to 80 rule (where the WBS is broken down to where a work package contains between 8 and 80 hours of work to complete). The Work Breakdown Structure presented here represents all the work required to complete this project. OUTLINE VIEW The outline view presents an easy to view and understand layout for the WBS. It is also a good layout...

...theory is a series of knowledge or concepts, which contains 4 main parts including philosophy, management, analysis and the idea of systematic. The initial aim of general systems theory was to solve a specific problem with a wide perspective and it also provided a unique language and a set of rules for many studies. The key principle of general theory in terms of philosophy could be summarized like that the whole and the parts are interrelated with each other. In another way, the whole cannot be hold if it's separated from the parts and the parts also cannot be explained if they are isolated from the whole. Besides, the relationship between the whole and the parts makes them indissoluble (Hamilton, 1997). General systems theory developed a structure to describe the general relationship of the complex world. A lot of models are developed in many areas of study such as social psychology, biochemistry, economic sociology and astrophysics. The goal of general systems theory is to construct a framework on combining all the parties together in a valuable relationship. The systems approach focus more on the interactions...
