Week 3 Current Issue/Event Article and Summary
(Please see the course syllabus for additional details on this; you must complete 2 out of 3 of these current issue/event submissions.)
During weeks 2, 3, and 4, one of the course requirements is that you find and summarize a current issue/event. Your source must be from a reputable source (e.g., peer-reviewed journal, respected business or industry journal, valid company web site, etc.). Find article about some current issue/event (article and/or event must be within the last 2 years) related to one or more of the topics covered that week, or as indicated in this assignment.
Submit to Discussion Board
- (2-3 sentences) Write a brief summary, and explain how it relates to the course content. Try to relate it to some of your work, education, or personal experiences.
- (1 question) Write a discussion question, as if you were going to use this article as the basis for a class discussion. The discussion should be open-ended and require thought and/or research to answer (not a yes/no, or just a factual response question from the article).
- Citation. Include the proper citation in APA format. See the APA Style Guide produced by the UNH Writing Center.
- If the article is in PDF or other downloadable format (rather than directly viewable on a web page), attach the file to your post.
Parameters
- Topics for Week 3: Spreadsheet Modeling & Analysis, and topics covered in Chapters 6, 6S, 7, and 7S.
- You must make your post to the discussion board before you will be able to see anyone else’s post. This is by design!
- Once you have made your post, browse through some of the other posts. You can respond to a few as well.
Chapter 6: Managing Quality
Chapter 6S: Statistical Process Control.
Chapter 7: Process Strategies
Chapter 7S: Capacity and Constraint Management
The current event must relate to these topics.
