Project Instruction
Students must work in a group from 2 to 4 students to conduct a complete research proposal on a topic of their choice, or one
proposed by the professor of the course. The project should include the following components and should be at least 10 pages
in length (excluding the title page and the references page).

  • Introduction: The student will need to introduce what the research proposal topic is about. (Estimated length – one page)
  • Problem Statement: You need to identify a very specific problem within the stated topic. Do not let that problem be too broad. It should be narrowed down to a specific problem that is researchable. Present that problem in a general thesis statement stating why the problem is important enough to study. (Estimated length – one paragraph)
  • Rationale for the Research: You will need to explain what the study intends to accomplish. What rationale was used to determine the importance for this study? How does your study relate to larger issues? Make a persuasive statement to justify the reason for the study. Why is the study important? To whom is it important? What benefits will occur if this particular study is done? (Estimated length – half a page)
  • Statement of the Research Objectives: Identify the objectives and the purpose for the study. Example: The purpose and the objectives for this study are to … Identify/understand/determine…. (Estimated length – half a page)
  • Hypothesis: A hypothesis is really an educated guess. A hypothesis results when the questions are transformed into statements that express the relationships between the variables within the proposed study. It is sometimes referred to as an “if/then” statement. (Estimated length – half a page)
  • Definition of Terms: Define a minimum of five terms used throughout the proposal so that readers can be sure to understand the meaning of the terminology used. (Estimated length – half a page)
  • Summary: Include a restatement of the problem and a summary of the proposal. (Estimated length – one paragraph)
  • Review of the Relevant Literature/Related Research/Literature Review: Provide a minimum of five research studies that address the same topic chosen for the proposal.
  • Method/Research Procedure/Methodology: Determine the method of research for the proposal. Examples could be: qualitative, quantitative, and case study (Estimated length – two paragraphs)
  • Participants: Provide specific identification for the proposed participants for the study. Include a description, the possible number within the population, the proposed location, and the selection procedure. Be specific when identifying the selection process. Then identify how a representative sample will be drawn from the population. (Estimated length – half a page)
  • Research Design: Determine how to conduct the data collection and the proposed analysis.. (Estimated length – half a page)
  • Instrumentation and Data Collection Plans: State the sources and/or instrument(s) proposed to be used to record the data (surveys, interview protocols). Identify the procedure. For a mailed survey, identify steps to be taken in administering and following up the survey to obtain a high response rate. Determine how to specifically conduct the research based on the proposed sample (Estimated length – half a page)
  • Proposed Analysis of the Data: Identify what results are expected from the sample. Identify how the categories of responses will be determined and analyzed. Address specifically what the proposed results could infer back to the population.
  • Implications and limitations: Identify and label a minimum of two (2) implications and a minimum of two (2) limitations for the proposed study.

You’ve been hired to help sort out a mess. Safety has taken a turn for the worse at Spacely Sprockets. The company president wants to know where the focus should be on safety and health in the new year. You’ve been assured that money will be invested but only for the right things. Your job? Identify the right things, i.e., problem locations, equipment, etc.
Analyze the data provided and identify the ‘critical few’ using the Pareto Principle. You may wish to google search ‘excel pivot tables’ for this one. I bet there are useful videos posted.
Note that each column of the spreadsheet represents a category with one or more sub-variables. The data in any column may or may not be significant.
1. Build a ppt.
2. One chart per slide. Each slide to include an explanation of the data and any conclusion(s) it affords. Be concise (no lengthy paragraphs). Describe to Spacely Sprocket’s President ‘what’ (s)he is looking at and ‘what’ (s)he should understand from it.
3. The company president has a short attention span. Don’t worry about the trivial many, but focus upon the critical few.

Operations Management, by William J Stevenson (Twelfth Edition)

/0 Comments/in /by
This week you will study two important areas that drive the success of any business: scheduling (chapter 16) and Project Management (Chapter 17) of Operations Management, by William J. Stevenson (Twelfth Edition). Find one online resources in each of these areas (for a total of two resources). The resources you choose are to be authoritative, relevant to the subject matter you studied this week, and provide insights beyond what you learned from your textbook readings. Please, no software or Ad-based resources in this Discussion Forum.
These two resources can be either:
(a) a “short” YouTube video that provides an authoritative view of some aspect affecting business (not personal) scheduling or project management. This video can explain concepts, describe tools, cover methods, or introduce systems or
(b) an authoritative Website dedicated to informing and educating readers on scheduling or project management tools, methods, or systems.
Once you have found two authoritative resources, provide for the following in your discussion forum:
The presenters bona fides (creds) that caused you to believe the individual or organization is an authority on the subject (you will need to do some research on the individual or organization that provided the resource)
A hyperlink (not just a URL) to the resource
An overview of what this resource added to your learning that may not have been covered in your textbook.
