Write an Introduction paragraph.The Introduction paragraph is the first paragraph of the paper and will be used to describe to the reader the intent of the paper explaining the main points covered in the paper.This intent should be understood prior to reading the remainder of the paper so the reader knows exactly what is being covered in the paper.
Write the introduction last to ensure that all of the main points are covered.
Explain what control means in a business setting
Explain why GoFast needs to be concerned with the results for the mini-car.
Compare the actual performance with the standards for the mini-car drawing conclusions from what is evident from the data in the table. Make sure to discuss each standard and explain the results from each branch.
Analyze the deviations.Although you do not know why results are different than the standards, determine whether more control is necessary or if the standard should be changed.
Explain how implementing Total Quality Management can develop solutions to resolve GoFast’s issues with meeting the standards and/or make changes to processes or behaviors.
In this project, you will gain an understanding of the control function in a business setting. You will compare actual performance with standards, and measure the progress toward the organizational goals, addressing any deviations through corrective action. Scenario The following chart displays the results of the first year’s production of a new mini-car produced by GoFast Autos.
The table was created from data supplied by the company’s entire production department managed by George Reeves, as a means of controlling production output. You recently joined the production department as a quality assurance associate after grading with a degree in business.
Your manager, George has asked you to do an analysis on the first year's production results. George indicated that this information will be used by the Vice President in his evaluation of areas of improvement, change, or processes used by the production department in the production of the mini-car. The company aims for the highest possible quality products for consumers. The chart attached describes the standard goal (identified as standard) set by the department and the results for each branch of GoFast Autos.
A comparison of the standard to the results allows the reader to form conclusions about the success or failure of the production department to meet the goals envisioned by the company. It also allows the reader to recognize patterns from the data from which conclusions can be drawn as to the relationship between elements (e.g. cost expended vs time expended; those who spent more time had a higher cost).
