Homework help News PIP QUESTION
NEWS understands the issues that they must overcome in terms of quality, speed, and controlling costs.
NEWS believes that the analysis that your team has provided in the last three Excel modules has led to successful strategic plans.
The NEWS BOD would like to understand the probability of this success before granting permission for the CEO to execute the plan.
Data has been gathered on the last 50 process improvement program (PIP) projects that the NEWS BOD had approved.
The BLUE columns describe whether the PIP was initially approved as a quality, speed, or cost control project, or combination. (1 = Yes)
The GREEN columns describe the quality, speed, and $ results from each project. Regardless of how the PIP was initially chosen,
the positive or negative results were gathered in terms of quality, speed, and $ at the end of the project.
The RED column describes the BOD final determination of whether the PIP was successful or not; old BOD criteria was confidential. (1 = Yes)
Question 1: Using the data given below, complete Task 1. The BOD would like to know the percentage of PIP projects completed per each category, since their short-term memory
has hindered their ability to remember the percentage that began as an effort to overcome quality, speed, and cost issues.
Also, briefly discuss the PIP success rate attributable to each type of PIP effort based on the BOD's confidential criteria shown only as success or failure Results.
ANSWER: Quality received a 58%, Speed-58%, Costs 52%, Q&S-24%, Q&C22%, S&C 32%, Q,S,C-10%
The PIP success rate is dependent on whether the project was approved for each category.
Question 2: Using the data given below, complete Task 2. NEWS is very proud of their PIP initiative and has briefed the press that their success rate is greater than 50%.
Is this true? Explain.
The BOD is very concerned about this next process improvement project decision. It is truly a make or break initiative for the company, and therefore a more conservative set of
success criteria has been provided. Does the new criteria change the rate of success of past PIP initiatives? Given this probability of success, what recommendation would you make to the BOD?
ANSWER: No, It is not true. The NEW PIP success rate is at 22%, which is less than the <50% that they told the press.
Yes, the new criteria changes the rate of success. NEWS had a higher percentage of PIP success at 46% with the old criteria, compared to lesser PIP success of
22% with the new criteria. I would suggest they keep the OLD PIP success criteria since it yielded NEWS a higher rate of success with their PIP initiatives.
