The owner of a company wants to understand the issues faced at every level of the organization and is accepting creative ideas from all employees in order to improve overall operations. As an employee, this is your chance to demonstrate your understanding of various factors affecting operations management. Apply at least one of the concepts covered in this course that is of particular interest to you by creating a well-supported recommendation to improve operations. All changes to operations have an impact on the product, or the humans involved, or the culture of the company, or environmental and sustainability factors. In some cases, the change will affect more than one aspect of the company. As you write your recommendations for the company, recall the readings in Unit 2 (Chapter 4). Consider the ethical impacts or the corporate social responsibility factors that your process change will affect. You will be assessed on the Institutional Learning Outcome of Ethical Reasoning.

Use at least one source to show statistical data, facts, or other verified and relevant data/information to add credibility to your recommendation. Cite information used from your source with APA Style citations and include a reference listing of your source. If you use graphs and diagrams in any section ensure they are clear and easy to understand. There are many ways to format a proposal, but the owner has requested the following format be observed with the following headings (delete content in parentheses):
