Operations Management Assignment 6

Operations Improvement Plan
Objectives
This assignment helps you develop the skills to master the following course competencies:
· Develop innovative and sustainable solutions to strategic and global operations management challenges.
· Apply theories, models, and practices of global operations management to address business problems.
· Integrate operations management analyses into general business management planning and decision making.
· Communicate in a manner that is professional and consistent with expectations for members of the business professions.
Instructions
In this assignment, you will submit your completed operations improvement plan. Your final OIP should be divided into five basic components:
· Process identification.
· Process improvement.
· Definition of the problem statement.
· Measurement strategy.
· Data collection and evaluation tools.
  
You have developed each of these components as individual assignments and you have updated them as your OIP has developed. Take into consideration all of the research and groundwork you have completed thus far. Incorporate feedback from previous assignments as well as the tools, techniques, and methodologies you have examined throughout the course. Finalize your comprehensive OIP as if you were to present it as a formal recommendation to the organizational leaders at your client company. Focus your writing appropriately for that audience.
As you complete this last assignment of the course, you are encouraged to review your own discussion board posts and previous assignments for material you might incorporate here. Also, as always, please consider the scoring guide.
Your completed OIP should include the following elements: 
  
1. A problem statement, including an overview of the challenge that your client company is facing, with a brief history and description of the situation.
2. A description of the key challenge or problem you have chosen to address in your client company’s organizational processes, and an analysis of its organizational impact, based on theories and models of global operations management.
3. An executive summary of the collected and processed data, including actual data, if possible, or assumed data, if necessary.
4. A cost-benefit analysis based on your data.
