7-1 Final Project Submission

You are the Human Resource Director for a premier supplier of rubber floor mats and matting that is expanding its production operations to Rock ville, MD. The organization is headquartered in San Antonio, TX. Based on the organization’s mission statement, the company’s goal is to provide top-quality products with customer service that well exceeds expectations and with a strong commitment to continuous improvement. The following personnel are required to start the Rock ville operation (the numbers in parentheses indicate the number of positions):
• Director of regional operations
• Assistant to the director of operations
• Operations analyst (2)
• HR director (this is you)
• HR administrative assistant
• Benefits manager
• Lead production worker (3)
• Production worker (10)
• Production manager
• HR generalist
• Front desk receptionist

In your final project you will be designing a pay structure based on the final project case study you have been reviewing throughout the course and utilizing with your milestone activities.
Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below.

I. Internal Consistency:
A. Create complete job descriptions for the benefits manager and production worker position using O*NET (see Module Three Reading and Resources area). Note: There may be several versions of these positions on O*NET. You should create personalized job descriptions that are tailored to the company.
B. Calculate the job evaluation points for the administrative assistant, operations analyst, production worker, and benefits manager jobs. Provide a rationale for assigning specific weights and degrees to the various jobs. Use the job descriptions you created in section one, as well as the job descriptions in Appendix A of the final project case study, as a reference.
C. Create job families for all the roles at the Rock ville location. The families may be illustrated in a table or bullet format. List positions within each family based on the difficulty level. Provide a rationale for why jobs were assigned to the various families.

II. External Competitiveness:
A. Calculate the weighted means of base pay for each of the benchmark jobs (administrative assistant, operations analyst, production worker, and benefits manager) from the six companies listed in Appendix B of the final project case study.
B. Calculate the predicted base pay for each of the following benchmark jobs: administrative assistant, operations analyst, production worker, and benefits manager.
C. Create a market pay line using the following benchmark jobs: administrative assistant, operations analyst, production worker, and benefits manager. Clearly label your job evaluation points and salaries.
D. Calculate the adjusted pay rates for each benchmark job based on your company’s decision to lead in base pay by 3%.
E. Create pay grades by combining benchmark jobs that are substantially comparable for pay purposes. Clearly label your pay grades and explain why you combined any benchmark jobs to form a grade.
F. Create pay ranges including minimum and maximum for each of the pay grades based on pay grades created in item E above.

Excel assignment

This assignment is for an excel workbook (that needs to be submitted as an excel file) and a report- please see below for specific details –

Overview
Data measurement is an important aspect of data analytics. Identifying trends in key attributes of data is a fundamental measurement for various aspects in business data and an important skill for business professionals.

Scenario
You have been hired as a consultant by a large hospital chain. As part of its expansion plan, the organization wants to open a new hospital in a small- to medium-sized town (with a population of 10,000–50,000). Previously, senior management hired a market research firm to do an initial feasibility analysis. The firm presented the management team with two options:

Option A: Open a small facility of 90–100 beds.
Option B: Open a medium-sized facility of 300–350 beds.

The hospital’s vice president of operations and finance has tasked you with doing an in-depth analysis to determine which of the two options will be the most profitable, given the expense range of $55–$75 million. The hospital has provided you with a data set that contains data about admissions, personnel, and hospital beds, and attributes of the data such as outpatient visits, births, total expense, and census information.

Your work here in Phase One is to do a current trend analysis, which will help you test your initial hypothesis as to which size facility is most profitable. You will use the work here as a foundation for Phase Two (in Milestone Two).

Prompt
For this assignment, you will analyze the data from the Hospital Data Set and identify trends and patterns in the current operations. You will submit a written current state analysis report. You will also create multiple charts to present the descriptive analysis you performed. To organize this information, you will create and submit a Data Analysis Workbook in Excel. For this milestone, you will add three sheets to the workbook, and you’ll add more as you complete your Milestone Two assignment.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

Descriptive Statistics: Create an Excel file and title it Data Analysis Workbook. Within your workbook, create a sheet titled P1_Descriptive Analysis. Present descriptive statistics (mean, median, standard deviation, and range) in a table for four attributes from the data set.
Analyze the current hospital data to identify trends and patterns in hospital admissions and costs.

Admission Trends and Charts: Create a sheet titled P1_Admission Trends in your Data Analysis Workbook. Then, create two pie charts and two column/bar charts.
For Pie Chart #1: One slice should be labeled Admissions. Choose another attribute for the second slice. For Pie Chart #2, both slices can be attributes of your choice.
For the two column/bar charts: Ensure that one column is titled Admissions for both charts. Choose a different attribute for the other column.
Expense Trends and Charts: Create a sheet titled P1_Expense Trends in your Data Analysis Workbook. Then, create two column charts and two line charts.
For the two column/bar charts: Ensure that one column is titled Expense for both charts. Choose a different attribute for the other column.
For Line Chart #1, one of the lines should represent Expense; choose another attribute for the second line. For Line Chart #2, both lines can represent attributes of your choice.

Outliers: Identify any outliers that you see and explain how they have an impact on the overall admission and expense trends. Outliers are the data points that can have an impact on your averages and basic descriptive analysis.

Analysis: Form and explain your initial hypothesis based on your analysis of the charts and trends in Excel.
Which option (Option A or Option B) would you choose at this point in your analysis, given the expense range of $55–$75 million?
Why did you choose your selected attributes?
Describe any relationships or trends you observed while conducting your analysis.

Subscription-Based Delivery: Blue Apron

  • In September of this year, Blue Apron, a meal kit subscription service, celebrated its 10th anniversary. While today there are a plethora of meal kit subscription services, Blue Apron was a pioneer in this industry. To date, Blue Apron has served over 480 million meals!
  • Blue Apron boxes are filled with pre-measured (often pre-chopped) ingredients and the accompanying recipes. The company has expanded to include some oven-ready meals as well. Customers are given options for each week, and they can choose which meals they would like. Deliveries can be made each week or paused when customers choose to skip a week.
  • In 2015, Blue Apron began offering a wine service, providing direct-to-consumer wines. Recipes from Blue Apron highlight which bottle of wine a customer may want to select. Another new tactic is offering 4-serving meal kits at Costco.
  • Today, the subscription meal kit space is flooded with competitors. For example, NBC highlighted several “winners” in a recent article–the list included Blue Apron, Hungryroot, Home Chef, Sunbasket, Factor, Freshly, Bistro MD, and Splendid Spoon. However, there are many others.

Questions:

1) Clearly, competition in subscription-based meal services is growing rapidly. Using the ideas from Chapter 16, how should Blue Apron respond to these competitive threats? Make sure to use chapter links here!

2) While Blue Apron only operates in the U.S., its competitor HelloFresh (founded in Germany) operates in many countries. Chapter 14 outlines four conditions that lead to success when expanding the global footprint of a company. Based on these conditions, should Blue Apron expand internationally? Be sure to provide your rationale.Strategic Market Management
