Creating a flow chart

Assignment: Creating a Flowchart

Workflow analysis aims to determine workflow patterns that maximize the effective use of resources and minimize activities that do not add value. There are a variety of tools that can be used to analyze the workflow of processes and clarify potential avenues for eliminating waste. Flowcharts are a basic and commonly used workflow analysis method that can help highlight areas in need of streamlining.

In this Assignment, you select a common event that occurs regularly in your organization and create a flowchart representing the workflow. You analyze the process you have diagrammed and propose changes for improvement.

To prepare:

  • Identify a common, simple event that frequently occurs in your organization that you would like to evaluate.
  • Consider how you would design a flowchart to represent the current workflow.
  • Consider what metrics you would use to determine the effectiveness of the current workflow and identify areas of waste.

To complete:

Write a 3- to 5-page paper which includes the following:

  • Create a simple flowchart of the activity you selected. (Review the Sample Workflow of Answering a Telephone in an Office document found in this week’s Learning Resources for an example.)
  • Next, in your paper:
    • Explain the process you have diagrammed.
    • For each step or decision point in the process, identify the following:
      • Who does this step? (It can be several people.)
      • What technology is used?
      • What policies and rules are involved in determining how, when, why, or where the step is executed?
      • What information is needed for the execution of this step?
    • Describe the metric that is currently used to measure the soundness of the workflow. Is it effective?
    • Describe any areas where improvements could occur and propose changes that could bring about these improvements in the workflow.
    • Summarize why it is important to be aware of the flow of an activity.
  • Remember to include a cover page, introduction, and summary for your paper.

Scenario #2:

SUBJECT: Late Assignments

I am one of your students. We are nearing the end of week 2 and I have not yet week 1 assignments or work. Nor have I started on the lesson for week 2.

Although I know it seems as though I have blown off the class, I assure you that is not the case. There have been mitigating factors in the past two weeks.

I work a full shift tomorrow (actually today, Friday) but am off on Saturday and Sunday. With your okay I know I can be caught up by end of day on Sunday. I would need authorization from you to access week one’s assignments. I understand that, even if you grant permission, I would incur deductions for completing my work late.

If you do not grant authorization, I do not believe I will be able to pass the course. I’ve tried to run the numbers but I a bit unsure of where I would stand grade-wise. Because I would not be able to continue the program without at least a “C” in this course, I would request a drop for this class with the ability to continue with the next cohort. So, of course I have my fingers crossed for your authorization to get caught up this weekend.

Please let me know at your earliest convenience. I will not be able to check your response until I get home from work at this time tomorrow.

Evaluation (Excel)

/in /by

You manage Human Relations for your
company. One of your sales managers has retired, leaving an opening. You
are considering two different employees for the position. Both are
highly qualified so you have decided to evaluate their sales performance
for the past year.

Use the Week 4 Data Set to create and calculate the following in Excel®:

  1. Determine the range of values in which you would expect to find the
    average weekly sales for the entire sales force in your company 90% of
    the time.

    • Calculate the impact of increasing the confidence level to 95%?
    • Calculate the impact of increasing the sample size to 150, assuming
      the same mean and standard deviation, but allowing the confidence level
      to remain at 90%?
  2. Based on the calculated confidence interval for weekly sales on the sample of 50 reps at a 90% confidence level:
    • Calculate both Reps’ average weekly performance and highlight if it is greater than the population mean.
  3. You want to determine whether there is a statistically different average weekly sales between Sales Rep A and Sales Rep B.
    • Create Null and Alternative Hypothesis statements that would allow
      you to determine whether their sales performance is statistically
      different or not.
    • Use a significance level of .05 to conduct a t-test of independent
      samples to compare the average weekly sales of the two candidates.
    • Calculate the p-value?
  4. Considering that individual you did not promote:
    • Determine whether this person’s average weekly sales are greater
      than the average weekly sales for the 50 sales reps whose data you used
      to develop confidence intervals.
    • Create Null and Alternative Hypothesis statements that would allow
      you to determine whether the new Sales Manager’s weekly average sales
      are greater than the sample of Sales Reps.
    • Use a significance level of .05 to conduct a t-test of independent samples to compare the average weekly sales of both.
    • Calculate the p-value?

  • Chapter 9, “Master the Humble Art of Building Trust,” pages 120–135.
  • Chapter 7, “Managing Recipients of Change and Influencing Internal Stakeholders,” pages 215–255. This chapter discusses why change leaders need to understand how people react to change.
  • This video discusses a model for defining employee engagement.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Scenario

In Assessment 3 you wrote a memo that maps out how your recommended changes will impact other roles within the organization and how to manage potential points of resistance to change. After your supervisor’s boss championed your recommendations in a series of meetings with other upper management, they have requested that you attend an upcoming meeting to present on strategies for approaching change within small groups and teams that may be impacted by your change recommendations. How can a selected group or team be made more effective and ready to respond to the implementation of your ideas for organizational change? What models of group effectiveness might provide a solid framework for this important preparatory work?

Select a team or group that is in need of change in your selected organization. Then complete the following in a PowerPoint presentation (with speaker’s notes) for senior managers in the organization:

  • Explain a model of group effectiveness in relation to the selected team or group.
  • Assess the current state of the team or group using the team effectiveness model you have selected.
  • Develop a strategy for helping the selected team or group become more effective by strengthening aspects of their performance as a change team.
  • Describe specific practical and actionable activities for improving the team.

Your presentation should be developed to support a central idea, with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics as expected of a business professional.

Deliverable Format

Your supervisor’s boss requests that you keep your presentation to 7–10 slides. He has also asked that you include one strong academic reference to give your ideas research-based context and support, but keep it to just one—there is no need for a long references list in a quick presentation such as this. Since you are preparing your presentation for upper management and other interested stakeholders, you want this PowerPoint to be well organized and readable.

  • References: Support your analysis with one academic resource from the Capella University Library.
  • Length: Include 7–10 PowerPoint slides (with speaker’s notes), in addition to a references slide.
  • Written communication: Demonstrate graduate-level writing skills through accurate communication of thoughts that convey the overall goals of the presentation and do not detract from the message.
  • Correctness: Use correct grammar, usage, and mechanics as expected of a business professional.
  • APA Style: You must use proper APA style for in-text citations and to list your references.
