In this paper, you may develop a lean project for your current company. If you do not currently work your strategy could be something that is needed to achieve for professional or educational purposes. Example for finding a project is on page 238 in Six Sigma and Process Improvement, where the authors use ABC Hospital.
Development of a A3, Control Chart, Run Chart, Pareto Chart, Flow Chart, Cause and Effect Diagram, Histogram, and Scatter Diagram are required elements in the Lean Project.
Additionally, completion of Lean Project is based on the readings and understandings in Six Sigma, Lean QuickStart Guide. Focus on Adjust, Plan, Check, and Do.

It’s very important to determine how much cash your new business will need to open and operate smoothly. Therefore, you must know how much capital you will need in order to cover all business expenses until you will reach the break-even point.  Note that your business should have enough cash to cover all projected expenses for at least six months.

In this assignment, you will create a list of all your projected expenditures. The following steps can help you get started:

• First Step– List of all needed assets (equipment, furniture, fixtures, supplies, software) and people needed to start and operate your business
• Second Step– List startup costs for inventory, marketing, sales, permits, needed market research, licenses, certificates, initial investment, legal fees, or professional charges
• Third Step– Compute your monthly (min. 6 months) fixed expenses such as rent, insurance, utilities, phone, lease, health insurance, loan payments, taxes, Internet, shipping and other services,
• Last Step– Estimate your salary, employees or hired contractors

This assignment will also help you to develop some sections of your Business Plan (Start Up and Running Costs sections).

Please note, the startup costs will depend on the type of the business and industry that you are planning to enter.

Therefore, the amount of projected expenses in the various categories may also very across industries.

Submission Format

• Include a table with all projected monthly expenditures for at least 6 months.
• Briefly explain your Start Up Costs items to include at least one source.

Introduction The introduction is concerned with introducing the topic. Here an overview of the key concepts under discussion and definitions of terms must be provided. The introduction should be succinct and introduce the reader to the layout of the assignment, which should be presented in a logical and structured manner to ensure clarity and ease of reading.

Main Content Here factual data, points of view and statements concerning the topic are presented and discussed. Each aspect of the topic is critically discussed under an appropriate heading, demonstrating the capacity to engage in critical analysis, synthesis and evaluation of the reviewed literature and current research findings. This part of the assignment must have a logical structure which demonstrates clarity of thought. The student develops his/her arguments based upon factual data and statements about the topic. It should be clear to the reader how a particular conclusion was arrived at.

4 Conclusion The conclusion provides a summary of the discussion. Conclusions formulate key recommendations /observations. New information or ideas should not be contained in the conclusion.

Appetite. What are the molecules that control appetite? (hint: next sentence) How do the
orexins, leptin and ghrelin work together to control appetite? Which cells are responsible for
producing these molecules and what are the molecular pathways that are activated? Identify
the targets and how the signaling pathways are regulated. Which molecules oppose appetite
and how do they suppress the craving for food? You may need to consider not only the signaling
pathways but the neural pathways as well.
Creating a Discussion Outline
1. Once you have a list of facts, the next step is to put together an outline of your discussion.
2. Be sure to look at the question you are trying to answer. Frame your arguments (data/facts) in
an order that makes logical sense.
a. Look for holes and find more references
b. Move things around so that you tell an interesting story.
c. Check to see that you have a beginning, a middle, and an ending.
3. Once you are satisfied with the flow of the discussion, create an outline for submission and one
that you will actually use. See example:
a. Idea/assertion #1
i. Facts 1, 2, 3 etc. (list them though, I’m making this short)
1. Any sub-facts you already know you want to use., etc.
b. Idea/assertion #2
i. Facts 4, 5, 6 etc.
4. Create an outline for your discussion with the ideas and facts that you plan to use. Not only will
this speed up the process of writing the paper and help you organize and see your central thesis
and supporting evidence, it will also help you see the flow of your paper and help you see where
the strengths and weaknesses might be.
a. More detail is better, don’t just do the bare minimum. This is not busy work, but instead
trying to get you to think ahead to produce a strong paper.

Use the Patient information at the bottom and a Operative note for the case to do a “pretend history and physical for your patient”. Then Use that information and the care plan from the module handouts to create a care plan for an ASA level 3 patient with the problems identified in the patient information below.

1.Create a Sample Clearance preop chart history and physical including a nursing care plan:
2.Chose a case from the list below.
3.Next, discuss with your surgeon how the case would be different with a patient having that procedure who has an ASA level of 3 or higher.
4.Using the sample surgical clearance forms in the Module or you can use those from your hospital; complete a sample evaluation and assessment clearance process for the surgical case including the History and Physical/SOAP plan.
5.Next complete the surgical plan using the examples found within the module or the surgical care plans used at your hospital. Complete the nursing care plan using the examples found within the module. Using the chart, fill out the sample forms or you may use your own facility forms if they are more thorough than the ones provided. Use the guides found within each one to determine what special considerations need to be made for your patient. Create your own Nursing care plan using the PNDS and sample care plans.

Use the guides found within each one to determine what special considerations need to be made for your patient.

– What would be one way (for example, increase/decrease temperature,
pressure, or volume of the container in which the reaction takes place) to make
the reaction go faster? (1 pt.)
– What biological or non-biological catalyst(s) would make the reaction go
faster? (1 pt.)
– What engineering solutions (examples may include increasing reactant surface
area, agitating the reactants, or changing container shape) would make the
reaction go faster? (1 pt.)
-What would be one way to measure (for example, disappearance of products
and/or reactants being formed) how fast the reaction happens? (1 pt.)
– Would removing one or more of the products as they form cause more
products to form overall? Why? (1 pt.)
