2. Using the material regarding a “good” problem statement, select ONLY three of the
following problem statements and state why they need to be rewritten then rewrite
them to meet the approved practices as stated in the handout OR if they meet the
approved practices, explain why. For your responses, YOU MUST USE THE
TABLE BELOW THE PROBLEM STATEMENTS
a) Most agencies are adhering to handling the interview and selection process with
in-house staff who have been trained and educated to handle those duties and
tasks. However, some agencies are making the transition to hiring independent
agencies and contractors to handle the interview and selection process. The
reason for this trend is clearly to avoid the litigation that has been brought against
numerous agencies for discrimination in hiring practices and to establish
affirmative action (Allen, 2003).
b) The purpose of this study is to design a HACCP plan for a packaging company
that manufactures non food contact water bottle labels. The model is identified
from several generic HACCP models. The researcher worked in the plant in the
capacity of a quality engineer and as part of the HACCP team and worked with
the production manager, Safety and Compliance Officer and Process
Development Manager in order to develop the HACCP model.
c) Over the past few years, XYZ Company has experienced multiple injuries of
overexertion costing the company several thousands of dollars, as a result of
manually handling 50 pound (lb) bags of sugar. Due to a change in the sugar
regulations the 50 lb bags will become obsolete and will be replaced by 100 lb bags of sugar. This 100% increase in weight of the sugar bags has a potential to
increase the significance of this loss source.
d) How can the quality of reading and detecting defects of the lasers at the laser
inspection system, by using process capability, and gage reproducibility and
repeatability studies, for Company XYZ be analyzed?
e) The objective of this study was to investigate the concept of an exam week
oriented chocolate bar and its acceptance by students at University of WisconsinStout. This study was designed to help develop a chocolate bar for use by
college students during final exam week. In hopes of providing a nutritional and
energizing snack food to relieve stress and to increase enthusiasm in exam
week. The main goal of this project was to determine the relative acceptance of
this chocolate bar concept.
