1. Analyze the cost data in the Excel workbook Ch03Data.xlsx for the Costbusters Company. What percent of sales are represented by each category of cost for each product? What are the dollar costs for each cost of quality category, by product? How might this information be used to help define a Six Sigma project?

2. Prepare a pie chart showing the different quality cost categories and percentages for the Great Press Printing Company. See the data in the Excel workbook C03Data.xlsx. How might this information be used to help define a Six Sigma project?

4. Puragua Corporation makes water meters that are sold to contractors and municipal water departments. Analyze their quality costs, group them into the four standard quality cost categories, and prepare a Pareto chart showing the company’s quality costs that were incurred over the past year (use data

in the worksheet Prob03-04 in the Excel workbook Ch03Data.xlsx on the Student Companion website). How might this information be used to help define a Six Sigma project?

8. Cost of quality data are often expressed as indexes by dividing by some reference value, such as cost/sales dollar or cost/labor dollar. Compute a sales dollar base index for International Fabrica, Inc., to analyze the quality cost data in worksheet Prob.03-08 in the Excel workbook Ch03Data.xlsx on

the Student Companion website and prepare a memo to management.

9. Cost of quality data are often expressed as indexes by dividing by some reference value, such as cost/sales dollar or cost/labor dollar. Compute a labor cost base index for Loire Valley Wine Co. from data in the worksheet Prob03-09 in the Excel workbook Ch03Data.xlsx on the Student Companion website, and prepare a memo to management.

Problem 1 has two graphs “Percent of Quality by Product” and “Quality Costs by Cost Category”

Problem 2 has one graph (pie chart) “Great Press Printing Company % Quality Costs”

Problem 4 has two graphs ” Detail Pareto Chart” and “COQ – Pareto”

Problem 8 has one graph “Cost of Quality Index Graph”

Problem 9 has one graph “Cost of Quality”

Write a short paper identifying one or more of the leadership styles that most represent you that are listed in Section 3.4.5.1, PMBOK 6e.  Once you identify the leadership style that describes you, conduct some research into that style and write a post that properly paraphrases or summarizes one or two references.  This is not an exercise of writing what you think you know and understand about a leadership style, but rather conducting some research of existing literature (e.g., get copies of references found at the end of each chapter in CPM 4e) sources and presenting it using good grammar and coherent writing styleWrite a short paper identifying one or more of the leadership styles that most represent you that are listed in Section 3.4.5.1, PMBOK 6e.  Once you identify the leadership style that describes you, conduct some research into that style and write a post that properly paraphrases or summarizes one or two references.  This is not an exercise of writing what you think you know and understand about a leadership style, but rather conducting some research of existing literature (e.g., get copies of references found at the end of each chapter in CPM 4e) sources and presenting it using good grammar and coherent writing style

One. What is the primary purpose of PostAcute Care, and what are some common HCO examples? What is the definition of SubAcute Care? And, more vividly, what’s the Buxbaum (2009) conceptualization?

Two. Explain the emergence of SubAcute Care (from a care & cost-saving perspective). What influence has the desire to provide treatment and care in the “least restrictive environment” played in the expansion and diversification of subacute facility types? What are the four subacute care “types/categories,” and what do they consist of?

Three. How well has the regulation (industry, if you will…) of subacute care facilities responded to the diversification of service/HCO types under the subacute care umbrella? How does the progress/development of the accreditation realm of subacute care compare to the regulatory environment?

Four. What is an interdisciplinary team (IDT) and why must subacute long term care facilities embrace this model? Your text mentions that the administrator may or may not have a clinical background. Speculate how this would facilitate the coordination of the interdisciplinary team. What/who are the various members of the  IDT? What are some of the challenges that come with managing a subacute long term care facility?
