If you have you been involved with a company doing a redesign of business processes, discuss what went right during the redesign and what went wrong from your perspective. Additionally, provide a discussion on what could have been done better to minimize the risk of failure. If you have not yet been involved with a business process redesign, research a company that has recently completed one and discuss what went wrong, what went right, and how the company could have done a better job minimizing the risk of failure.

Transport Canada collects aviation occurrence information through CADORS. The purpose of the system is to provide initial information on occurrences involving any Canadian-registered aircraft as well as events which occur at Canadian airports, in Canadian sovereign airspace, or international airspace for which Canada has accepted responsibility that includes events involving foreign registered aircraft. This assignment consists of developing and executing a sampling plan to determine if Civil Aviation Daily Occurrence Reporting System (CADORS) reports conform to the audit criteria (requirements) listed below. For this assignment you will be required to include the following information with your submission:• Sampling Plan• Sampling Results• FindingsThe sampling plan must clearly identify the lot size, sample size, and the reports to be sampled. Evidence of how the sampling plan was created must be provided (i.e., list of random numbers).The sampling result are to be recorded on a spreadsheet.The findings are to be recorded in Table 1 (below).Audit Criteria (requirements): The audit criteria (or requirement) that you will use for this assignment is simply that Transport Canada has filled-in each “field” in the Aircraft Information section of the CADORS report form. Audit Scope (period under review): Each student will be provided with a Month-Year. This will consist of your audit scope (period under review) for your individual audit. The entire month is to be included (first to last day). Your audit scope can be found on blackboard.Assignment 2 (15 Marks) SMS 421 AUDIT EXECUTIONPage 2 of 4The Population (lot size) To determine your lot size, you are expected to use the CADORS query tool at https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/2/cadors-screaq/q.aspx. You MUST apply the following filters:• Occurrence Date Range: Provided• TSB Class of Investigation: Class 5 For all other fields, use the default values – see below.https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/2/cadors-screaq/q.aspxAssignment 2 (15 Marks) SMS 421 AUDIT EXECUTIONPage 3 of 4Sample Size To obtain your sample size, use the sampling plan chart found in Transport Canada AC SUR-004 Simple Random Sampling Simple random sampling shall be used for this assignment. To obtain the list of CADORS (reports) for your population go to the CADORS download page and select occurrence date. From this list you can create a sampling plan by highlighting the reports that you randomly selected.Assignment 2 (15 Marks) SMS 421 AUDIT EXECUTIONPage 4 of 4Sampling Results Execute the sampling plan and record your results on a spreadsheet. Include a copy of the spreadsheet with your submission. Findings Answer the questions in table 1 below. NOTE: The term findings is being used loosely, for the purpose of table 1 below, whenever the auditcriteria have not been met, consider it a finding. Table 1: Findings# Item Answer1 Number of CADORS reports with one or more findings2 Number of CADORS reports with no findings3 The CADORS report field with the most findings4 The CADORS report field with the least findings5Fill in the blanks (boxes):? of ?reports sampled had one or more field(s) with information missing. For example: (list the names of each field with information missing – ranked them from most to least)

Sources must be cited in APA format. Your response should be four (4) pages in length; refer to the “Assignment Format” page for specific format requirements.Use your own words to write a short compare-and-contrast essay that defines and explains three distinct perspectives on the evolution of technology. As you write, imagine you are talking to a friend who has no knowledge of this topic. In short, write the way you speak, using a conversational tone. Also, try to alternate short sentences and longer sentences to make your writing more readable.Be sure to create a title and cite yourself as the author.

After selecting your own resource (the UN, Brookings Institute, or another reputable site), choose two international issues, and discuss ways you would address them if you were a world leader.  Reference your sources (make sure it is clear which sources you used).  It’s a brainstorming session, you are not expected to solve the world’s problems.  300-400 words excluding references, APA format, and a minimum of 3 references.

Part II:  Organizational Classifications Chapters 1 and 2 provide some introductory concepts about the importance of health care finance. As you know, health care organizations can be classified into ONE of three categories: proprietary (profit-oriented; pays taxes)voluntary (non-profit; do not pay taxes)government-owned Identify one health care organization from your state (NEW YORK) that fall into EACH of these three categories. Be sure to (1) Name the organization, (2) Determine the organization’s category, and (3) Explain how you determined or where you found this information.  Just to clarify…Your post should include the names of three organizations — one from each of the three categories.CAUTION: Do not use http://www.hospitalinspections.org/ (Links to an external site.) as your information source.  It is outdated! If you use a data source other than a primary data source, it’s important to confirm your findings with the organization’s website.

Read the following case first; then proceed to the next steps. You work at a research lab and are 1 of the 6 researchers. Philip, a well-known and highly respected scientist in the lab has offered a theory that the cholesterol in eggs can have serious negative health effects on children. He cites 5 case studies done in different regions of the country over a two-year period and all studies suggest that negative health issues can be linked to egg consumption. His presentation is very compelling and the research lab has been offered significant amounts of government grant money to promote the findings of the cholesterol study. The lab goes forward with the cholesterol research and assigns the other 5 researchers the task of furthering the study. After one year of research and much economic success for everyone at the research lab, a meeting is convened to assess the progress of the program. At this meeting, Rose, a second scientist with a long history of field research experience offers the theory that while there could be a relational effect of the cholesterol in eggs to children, she argues that there is no causal relationship and these findings should be published. The group is stunned as no one has ever challenged Philip’s work and his previous studies on other areas have all been accepted by the scientific community. Rose is excoriated by the group and is told by the research lab that Philip’s reputation speaks for itself and her study is not credible and will not be pursued. Two years later, a rival lab proves Rose’s theory and Philp’s research lab loses all government funding.Step 2: Reflection Part Ask yourself: How can it be that a group of intelligent, experienced researchers would not explore the possibility of another theory in their study? What is the importance of dissenting opinions? Do I listen to and fully understand the point of view of the person expressing a dissenting opinion, especially if that person is the sole voice in the room.Do I arrive at my opinion without sufficient critical analysis? Am I basing my position on assumptions that I presume to be true, but that perhaps are not sufficiently tested or researched?After you have thought through your position on this scenario, apply your thinking to this week’s philosophers and complete Step 3 – the writing part of this assignment.Step 3: Writing PartIn 2-3 pages, explain how Locke and Rousseau might respond to this case of the research lab and groupthink if they were confronted with this situation. How might they explain the majority rule and the social contract to illustrate their philosophy in dealing with groupthink? Support your analysis with quotes or paraphrases from the philosophers. Use APA format and citation when writing your assignment. For more information read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_as_food

 Explain one way you anticipate using what you have learned from this course in your current or future career. Provide one specific example to support your response. Also, what content do you still have a question about? What is your recommendation to obtain an answer? 

Identify one key concept that you learned in chapters covered through week 3 that you think is important for your professional career.  Write a 2 page paper on the concept you chose.  In your paper, cover these key points: Full describe the concept you identified from what you learned so far.  Be very detailed and pretend you are explaining the concept to someone who knows very little about it.  Be sure to include citations to sources from the library and textbook.  You will need to use APA format. Identify how you will apply the concept to the job you have or that you aspire to achieve.  Be very specific about the job role and tasksTell why you think knowledge of this concept is important. Reflect deeply when you write this paper as this a personal reflection and not just a research paper on the topic.   Think about how you will apply what you learned and your writing will be evaluated on the quality of your reflection on your chosen topic.   Describing how you will apply what you learned is a very important part of this assignment. 

The Manchester United Soccer Tournament project team (refer to the Manchester United Soccer club case study in chapter 4 of the text) has identified the following potential risks to their project: Referees failing to show up at designated games Fighting between teams Pivotal error committed by a referee that determines the outcome of a game Abusive behavior along the sidelines by parents inadequate parking Not enough teams sign up for different age bracketsSerious injuryHow would you recommend that they respond (i.e., avoid, accept) to these risks and why? Support your response with evidence from the readings or other materials. 

Post an analysis of the dimensions of oppression and marginalization that might impact your future clients. Be specific in identifying the types of clients with whom you might work. In your analysis, explain how the concepts of multiculturalism, power, and privilege are relevant to social work practice.
