Project Management Strategies – nursing homework essays

Scenario

You work as the chief supply chain officer at NationaliTeas,
a large international corporation that manufacturers and sells tea worldwide.
Its mission is to “Make the world more awake through rejuvenating and
refreshing beverages and sustainable practices that uplift workers,
communities, and souls.” You have recently hired the company’s first project
manager and have given them their first project: Revise current workflows
related to packaging at one of your tea factories to be more sustainable and
more lean. As this is their first project, you will be helping them complete
their task.

Prompt

Read through the Project Charter for Workflow Improvement, then review
the Process Workflow for Tea Production graphic that have
both been provided. Based on these documents, recommend removing a total
of four steps from the process flowchart that can
help make the process more efficient and sustainable. Explain the implications
of the proposed changes, and then help the NationaliTeas team address current
items in the Issue Log located in the project charter.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric
criteria:

Lean Manufacturing: Evaluate
the process flowchart to identify steps that do not add value based on the
principles of lean manufacturing. Explain why you selected each step.

Sustainability: Evaluate
the process flowchart and identify steps that should be removed or changed
to improve environmental sustainability. Explain why you selected each
step.

Process Changes: Explain the
implications, both positive and negative, of removing or changing the
steps from the process flowchart you identified in the previous two bullet
points. Also explain how those changes would help alignment to the triple
bottom line (TBL).

Issue Log: Analyze all entries in the
Issue Log from the perspective of a project manager and explain the
recommended course of action based on the project charter, noting the
impact of the issue on scope, planning communications, and resourcing.

Operations Management Techniques: Discuss how
operations management techniques, including project management and lean
manufacturing, can add value to NationaliTeas.
