MGMT 415 UNCG Management Postal Services Organization Discussion

SOURCE:Kiran, D.R. (2016). Total Quality Management: Key Concepts and Case Studies, 1st Edition, Butterworth-heinemann, 2016. ISBN-13: 978-0128110355Part 1 and 2 are discussions.PART 1respond:After many conversations your organization has decided that there is a need for internal testing in the organization.  They feel this may help provide efficiencies they have long sense desired.  The hiring process as you know takes too long so leadership has asked you to identify individuals internally that should be recruited as inspectors.  Chapter 19 explains requirements for Inspectors but of course no one fits all of the requirements in your organization. Therefore, you need to decide which of the requirements are most important to select individuals in your organization to be inspectors based on the nature of your organization’s business. Please explain which requirements you feel are necessary if inspectors were going to be recruited internally to help increase your organization’s efficiencies operations/products/services/etc. PART 2RESPOND:My organization provides services to students and our community, so some of the most important skills for an Inspector hired to conduct internal testing, such as auditing of those services, would be 1) Knowledge and skill, 2) General knowledge, 3) Technical skills, 4) Responsibility, and 5) Cost-consciousness. In Chapter 19, our textbook describes the types of skills that are required of an inspector. It seems obvious that an Inspector of the professional services provided by an educational institution, in both the areas of teaching and in providing student services, which involves financial services and registration services, would need to have a full working knowledge of the quality standards so that they could thoroughly and completely audit those services for accuracy and ethical standards. Inspecting the areas of instruction, financial aid to students, financial statements, and admissions would require technical skills to ensure that the institution was complying with requirements of auditors, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) accreditation requirements, and the Federal financial aid requirements. Our institution must also meet the requirements of other educational institutions in complying with the articulation agreement between the two colleges to accept the credits earned by students enrolled in our institution when they transfer to a Bachelor program at another institution Part 3Think about a problem in your organization(loss of packages at post office). Create a fish bone diagram to help determine how you might get to the root of that problem. Make sure you use multiple branches and sub branches to help you fully investigate the issue. I will be looking specifically at how you choose to investigate the problem.  You can use PowerPoint to create your diagram but if there is another application you want to use, that is fine just as long as I can open it and review your work.  No write up is needed but if you want to utilize the notes section or add audio to your slide to help me understand your thinking it is fine but not required.

Computer Science Defending Data Cloud Computing Services Presentation

Around the world, large organizations have lead the way in the adoption of cloud-based services. The reason for this movement has been a cross between cost savings and improved services and functionality. As with any change, there is a degree of risk that is accepted in exchange for the new benefit. With that is the concern related to data security. Data takes 2 forms. Data in motion is data that is vulnerable as it moves across a computer network. Data at rest is data that is kept in storage. With respect to cloud computing, concerns exist for the security of data as it moves across the corporate network and the internet to the cloud, as the data is processed in RAM memory on the cloud server and finally as it is stored on a cloud data storage server. Assignment GuidelinesImagine for a moment that you are examining the vulnerabilities of data moving in the cloud and will examine these vulnerabilities from the perspective of a computer hacker. Research and explain the points of vulnerabilities with data in motion and data at rest. The results of your research will be presented to your organizations leadership team to foster their understanding of the risks related to cloud computing and what the leadership team should do to reduce the risks. With that you have been asked to present your research in a power point presentation.Congratulations, your prior success with troubleshooting and resolving both network-based and cloud-based performance issues has gotten you noticed. The CIO now has the confidence in you to have you help with one remaining issue that is keeping him awake at night. The CIO would like to understand the process for how Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) communication works, the most common issues that cause problems with it, and how to proactively address those issues. You will discuss four software or hardware problems that will render two hosts unable to use the TCP/IP to communicate. Discuss the following:
