GC MGT655 Week 4 Assignment Latest 2017 February
Details:
Internal processes of a company contribute to the company’s
overall effectiveness. Identifying ways to improve internal processes helps
build a highly efficient organization. Root causes need to be identified.
Methods to identify root causes may require substantial analysis or be apparent
based on a major problem within the organization.
For example, review the assigned article, “Inside
Chipotle’s Contamination Crisis: Smugness and Happy Talk About Sustainability
Aren’t Working Anymore,” from Bloomberg Businessweek. Research several
other sources regarding Chipotle’s food contamination crisis. Create a
flowchart of the original supply chain and how Chipotle supplies each of the
restaurant chains. Provide your own commentary. Create another flowchart that suggests
a new way to supply the restaurant chains.
Review another restaurant chain that does not currently have
a major public problem but would benefit from evaluating its manufacturing
process to improve competitiveness. Specifically, provide recommendations on
how to improve the company’s current supply chain. Create a flowchart to
illustrate your recommendations. Provide a summary of how you came to your
recommendations. Include any formal strategies and informal thought processes
you used to reach your conclusions. Provide rationale for either using or not
using Six Sigma methodology, ISO quality benchmarking, lean supply chain
processes, or TQM.
Submit all three flowcharts and commentary for each
flowchart in a single document. Provide three to five resources to support your
response.
