Project that will use data included. I have also attached an example of this project that may be used as a guide for mine. EXAMPLE can be used but info needs to be changed to MY PERSONAL INFO that is included in my projects. Assignment details below: 1.Improvement Project (Kaizen Event) – This kaizen event or improvement project does not need to address all issues found in Assignment 2, but students are expected to coordinate and implement at least one kaizen or improvement to this process to tackle some of issues analyzed in Assignment 2. Follow this template to document this mini-kaizen event (Improvement Project (Kaizen Event) Template). This template includes some example entries to help students understand how to use it, as well as state a kaizen objective, ideal conditions, brainstorming potential actions (apply the lessons to this project), and prepare an implementation plan for this mini-kaizen event. Students should follow the steps on this template and edit the entries to support their own improvement project using this template (the action items from the course lessons provide further information to support this assignment).·Students will develop a master improvement plan in Assignment 4 for additional improvements (beyond the scope of this class). While brainstorming improvement alternatives now some options may not fit this time period, but be good considerations for Assignment 4.2.Review Impact – Students need to plan enough time to complete this kaizen event or improvement project in order to have time to measure the impact the improvement(s) had on the 3 process measures defined in Assignment 1. These 3 future metrics or measures should clearly show the impact these changes or improvements had on the performance of this process. Students need to structure 3 impact statements supporting these measures (see example on the template). 3. Identify Lessons Learned – Include challenges and experiences while doing this assignment. Generalize what you learned for use in later process improvement projects.Submit Assignment 3 on Sunday at end of Week 6 by 11:30 PM (EST). This submission should use the template provided (if students need to change the format to fit the organization, you are free to use a different format as long as similar steps as on the template are included).Please watch video for info – assignment 3 r1 – YouTubeI will include my project 1 and 2 so you will know what info to use in the attached example.

Journal topic:
In our reading from the Brookings Institution, “the COVID-19 pandemic brought increasing attention to our federalist form of government. The traditional story of federalism recognizes that the national government can make policy in some areas, while the states reserve the right to regulate in other areas. However, as the pandemic has highlighted, things are not always that clear-cut. The constitutional boundaries between state and federal authority are increasingly difficult to ascertain.” Specifically, do you believe that President Biden’s vaccine mandate in the “Path Out of the Pandemic” is constitutional? There are differing schools of thought on this and I’m looking for a brief analysis and conclusion.

The topic for your research paper will be:  The Pandemic and Lessons Learned.  For the paper, I want you to select a specific aspect of the U.S. government response to the pandemic for your analysis.  It has to be a narrow enough topic to be able to do a focused review.  I’ll work with each of you on your proposed topic to ensure that it’s manageable within the guidelines outlined below.  Throughout the semester, we’ve looked at the U.S. government response to the pandemic and we’ve done a careful analysis of actions taken, including executive orders and legislation.  We’ve drawn on the theories of political science to do a critical review of what worked and what didn’t and this is now an opportunity for us to learn from this health and economic crisis.This is an important assignment, worth 15% of your final grade.  It will be due no later than the start of class on Wednesday, December 1, 2021 at 8:00AM and I’ll be looking for a file upload in Canvas.  My grading guidelines for our research paper will be the same as what I’ve used for our policy analysis paper, our weekly journal assignments (and what I’ll expect for our final exam).  Here’s what I’m looking for:To help you properly prepare, by Wednesday, November 10 I’d like you to submit (via Canvas) your proposed topic and a draft outline of your paper.  This is a requirement and this submission will be factored into your overall grade on the paper.  I’m available to help you develop your papers before this deadline.  While it’s certainly possible that some of you may pick the same topic (and that’s fine), I’d like to ensure that we cover a range of issues to provide a comprehensive set of lessons learned for the pandemic.

The Customer Relationship Management PlanIntroduction: In the increasingly crowded global online marketplace, distinguishing one product from another helps the product become more competitive. One critical factor that distinguishes one brand from another is customer communications and customer relationships a company is able to build to promote and grow their brand.

IW especially caters to the business customer and stressed out adults who need time away to relax and recuperate.

In this assignment you will create an image with good bokeh—using Photoshop—that allows the subject in the foreground to be more prominent.To begin, find a subject with interesting foreground, midground, and background elements, contrasts, or colors. Use what you’ve learned about composition, lighting, and points of view.There is a substantial creative component, as well. Be sure to photograph with a wide depth of field so everything in your image is sharp.You may attempt to photograph multiple subjects, but shoot a minimum of 24 and a maximum of 36 images. Shoot during the day or in well-lit conditions, which will prevent the natural bokeh most often seen from out-of-focus lights in dark or night scenes.Review your photographs and select your best composition for editing. Open it in Photoshop, duplicate the Background layer, so your faculty member can see the image you started with, then mask your subject and apply a blur filter to the background. (Three different methods were discussed in this module. You may use which ever method you choose.)Here is a step-by-step PDF tutorial you can download to help you review the steps of the Lens Blur filter. Take your time and be accurate. If necessary, review the videos, especially the explanation of masking—not only with a feathered area around the foreground subject, but finessing the mask layer itself.Bokeh Photoshop TutorialRemember, highlights in backgrounds are amplified in the process—especially sharp points of light—so backgrounds with contrast may help to make an interesting and good Bokeh. Examples include specks of bright sky coming through trees, holiday tree lights, street lights, reflections off water or other objects.Flat backgrounds with no contrast will offer few or no highlights to create bokeh from.Do not delete any of your photos, whether they are good or bad. (Observing your mistakes and learning from them is the best way to improve as a graphic designer.)Once you have created the Bokeh, change the layer name to the type of blur you used.Save the image as a PSD (Photoshop document.) Do NOT save as a compressed JPG or PNG.You MUST save the multi-layered document as a PSD, so your faculty member can see your original image, the mask and the type of blur. Include the type of blur in the filename. (e.g., Salt_and_Pepper_FieldBlur.psd)Include the Bokeh PSD in the folder with all of your other (un-edited) images, ZIP it, and submit the ZIPPED file to the drop box.
