The use of Information systems in manufacturing

Project Requirements Project Requirements . Content The capstone project for this class is a research paper on an Information System. Many different types of Information Systems are studied during the course such as Decision Support Systems, Transaction Support Systems, Data Base Systems, ERP, CRM, HRM, WMS, etc… You need to pick a particular application that falls into one of these categories. The general idea is that you explore and research an Information System and determine its impact on a particular company or industry incorporating the chosen IS. Look for an IS that integrates business processes with technology for competitive advantage. Look locally for a company…no Walmart, Amazon, UPS. The research paper must strictly use MLA format. MLA Source: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_style_introduction.html The use of the library databases are strongly recommended to include at least one or two cited sources from peer reviewed journals. Here are a few topics you may want to explore this semester: 1. The impact of data privacy on patient care using EMRs at hospitals. 2. Search Engines: The impact of data sharing and data privacy on online consumers in the U.S. 3. The effect of Social Media on online sales within the retail industry. 4. The impact of green computing on data center efficiency to promote customer relations within eCommerce in the US. 5. The use of Information systems in manufacturing. Pick an Information System then research a local company that uses it or pick a company and investigate an information system that they are using to automate operations or business processes, harness business intelligence, manage knowledge or provide a competitive advantage. Try to use a LOCAL COMPANY!! For example there are more than 3500 local manufacturing companies here on Long Island. 1.Submit a PROPOSAL in one page for me to approve. Your proposal will get you thinking about your research and reserve the company for you. Do some preliminary research on the company and the information system they use prior to submitting the proposal! YOU MUST GET APPROVAL so submit the one paragraph by the deadline since there will be no duplicates allowed. Discuss your findings and anticipated direction of your research in your proposal. See calendar for due dates for the following: 2.Create an OUTLINE of your paper and identify additional sources. Continue your research and include concepts from every chapter of our textbook that relates to how your chosen company uses the information system you have identified. For example, are there ethical issues at hand? How has this company used IS to be more efficient and effective? 3.Final DELIVERABLES are a power point (approximately 10 slides) and paper (approximately 7-10 pages) documenting all sources and data. Both must be submitted together. Elaborate in your paper and highlight the most important features, findings and uses for your presentation.

Business Ethics

Description

YOU HAVE TWO PAPER TOPIC CHOICE

S Background for paper topic one: In reading 10.2, George Brenkert analyses a challenging and timely social issue to argue that our current doctrine of strict product liability is inadequate. The issue is harm caused by guns being used in ways that were not intended by the manufacturers (namely to kill or harm innocent people). Here are three facts that make strict product liability rules inadequate in the case of gun deaths, according to Brenkert: 1) The product is not defective 2) It does what it was designed to do 3) It seems unreasonable to blame the harm on any direct negligence on the part of the manufacturers Brenkert outlines a new kind of product liability, which he calls “Social products liability”, to argue that gun makers share some of the moral responsibility or burden for harm caused by guns. Guns are just the product Brenkert examines to justify a theory he feels should apply to a broad group of products. Brenkert is not a lawyer, and he is not sketching out a legal doctrine, but a MORAL one. Nonetheless, were society to adopt his proposal, laws regarding product liability would have to change or expand. Paper topic One Brenkert presents four conditions which he feels are individually necessary and collectively sufficient to assign partial responsibility to gun manufacturers for the unintended harm caused by guns. Pick one or two of these conditions and explore in depth Brenkert’s reasoning behind including them in determining “social product liability.” In your analysis, raise at least one potential complication or objection to the condition(s) you are examining in Brenkert’s argument. Conclude your essay by giving at least one substantial paragraph of your own critique of his overall proposal for expanding our notion of liability to include “social products liability”.

Background for paper topic two: Playgrounds across America have undergone a massive change in the last several decades in response to lawsuits and liability challenges regarding old fashioned playground equipment deemed hazardous. On the surface, this seems like a success story of liability laws leading to the creation of safer products. But what has been lost in the trade-off? Are there some situations or behaviors (in this case, risk-taking behavior by children) we should tolerate, even encourage, as a society, because they lead to other benefits? Can product safety standards come at the expense of other social goods? Paper topic two Base your paper on a discussion of some of the arguments against making playgrounds ever safer, as raised by Hanna Rosin’s article, “The Overprotected Kid” (available online here (Links to an external site.). Also available for download in the files folder of our course). There are a number of directions you could take this, and I am giving you free reign to decide. Reading the article will generate a lot of ideas. Since your paper is only 3-4 pages, do not attempt to cover to much ground. I will reward depth over breadth. Whatever way you choose to approach this topic, you must relate it to the discussion of product liability in your textbook.

What are the best practices of a sustainable company

Need a paper on the following using only scholarly sources The SWOT and competive analysis, and recommendations of the company I selected is attached PART I: For this part of your strategic analysis, you will first need to pull up the history of your organization(APPLE) , your SWOT analysis, your competitive analysis, and your recommendation of whether or not the sustainable initiative is feasible. After assembling these documents you will complete a systems analysis. Your systems analysis should include the following: Determine an activity that will impact the successful implementation of the sustainable initiative. Define the functions of that activity and the sub-activities involved in completing it. For example, if your activity is manufacturing clothes, your sub-activities would be buying materials, hiring employees, and finding buyers. Determine what can be changed in order to more effectively complete the activity, such as cutting down the number of suppliers by buying multiple items from one supplier. Argue how the proposed change will improve workflow and increase the chances of successfully implementing the sustainable initiative. This analysis should be 3 to 4 pages in length and formatted according to APA guidelines. PART II: For this part of the strategic analysis you will be providing recommendations based on theory. For this part of the assignment, choose a business management theory. Apply that theory to one of the following options: If your recommendation was that the initiative is feasible, describe how your theory will help you successfully implement the initiative in your business. To demonstrate this you will need to state how the theory will help provide minimal interruptions to business productivity, increase profits after the initiative is implemented, and benefit the organization as a whole. If your recommendation was that the initiative is not feasible, discuss how that theory can be used to overcome any challenges you have. For example, you may find that business is not organized enough to shift from using manufactured and heavily altered materials to undyed and unmodified materials. You might notice there are broken channels of communication between offices; sometimes managers of different factories do things their own way. Using the bureaucratic management theory and the systems management theory could come up with a solution to this problem and make the initiative feasible. This section should be a minimum of 3 to 4 pages in length and in APA format. PART III: This section will deal with solutions founded on evidence-based research. Consider the following when developing your solution: What are the best practices of a sustainable company? Consider the solutions you found in the two scenarios you completed in the simulation. How do these apply? What were some of their best practices? Consider looking into the companies Eco-fi, Patagonia, and REKIXX. These companies have implemented this sustainable initiative. What are their best practices? You have developed solutions to your problems using theories, now you will need to use evidence-based best practices in the industry to come up with alternative solutions to these problems. If you found there would be no issues making the change, then you should be using evidence-based best practices to provide suggestions on how the transition can go as smoothly as possible. In this assignment be sure to describe: An evidence-based solution. Best practices for the solution implementation. This section should be a minimum of 3 to 4 pages in length and in APA format.
