Quality and productivity management
Guidelines for Final Project
The final project is an opportunity to apply course concepts and to perform an in-depth analysis of operations strategy.
The project is an operations strategy “comparison study.”
Identify a pair of companies in the same (or similar) industry and compare their operations strategies. The paper will:
Assess the current strengths and weaknesses of each company.
Evaluate each company’s external environments (opportunities and threats)
Contrast the operations strategies of the two companies, and examine the role that the implementation of lean principles might have played in defining these strategies.
Discuss the long-term competitive strengths of each company and the role that operations play.
The paper should be 14-15 pages in length (double-spaced, 12-point font with one-inch margins on each side). Examples of company pairs might be: HP/Dell, Toyota/Honda, Starbucks/Peet’s Coffee , Fedex/ UPS, Fidelity/Vanguard, General Motors/Ford, etc.
In Milestone Two, you will subsequently develop a go-to-market strategy. For your project in Module Nine, you will compile your work from Milestones One and Two, and include a proposed organizational structure to best integrate, produce, and market the new technology.
Prompt Create a PowerPoint presentation to make a recommendation for how the company should pursue the loT technology to remain competitive: either by discontinuous or incremental innovation.
To make your recommendation, you will need to identify how the evolving loT (sensor) technology fits into the company’s products and services and determine potential risks and benefits. You will also need to look at your competitors to see what they are doing. Finally, you need to analyze the company’s capability (resources) for pursuing the innovation. Use the information and data from the CTO Brief. Comparative Growth Data Comparative Operating Statistics, and Comparative Product Plans to complete this milestone.

How is the technology currently being used in today’s products and services?
What type of technology is available to purchase?
Recommend the innovation approach your company should pursue.
Innovation approach (2 slides): Explain which innovation approach you are recommending and why.
Consider the different stakeholders—research and development (R&D), marketing, finance—when communicating your recommendations.
Comparative Product Plans to complete this milestone.

Overview (1 slide): Present the business problem and options A and B. o Option A (1-2 slides):
Explain at least two potential risks and benefits for option
Option B (1-2 slides): Explain at least two potential risks and benefits for option B.
2. Compare your competition’s products and services.
Competitors (3-4 slides): Evaluate the competitors’ current products and services.
What are your competitors’ current products and services?
Are your competitors expanding in the current market?Explain how this impacts their market strength.
