The idea now to write a report of how to reduce the lead time using six sigma and drew charts using (Minitab). In addition, if we could add survey to the report of how the stakeholder helps us to improve the process.

I prefer to focus on SIX-SIGMA implementation part and divided it into phases and write 2-pages each:

A. Define Phase

B. Measure Phase

C. Analyze Phase

D. Improve Phase

E. Control Phase

Techniques such as Pareto Chart, Fish bone Diagram, 5 Whys, welding defects in SPARTAN Fabrication Section, Control charts could be very helpful if we could add them in the previous section."

The paper includes the requisite number of pages for each of the five phases of Six Sigma. Both Minitab and drew charts are discussed at length in this paper according to the part of the message stating “The idea now to write a report of how to reduce the lead time using six sigma and drew charts using (Minitab).” Minitab charts are included with the paper, as is a process map, and the report explains in great detail how Minitab can reduce the lead time for AADC.

However, the information in this message about “Techniques such as Pareto Chart, Fish bone Diagram, 5 Whys, welding defects in SPARTAN Fabrication Section, Control charts COULD be very helpful”. Stating these techniques COULD be helpful in a message (not in the instructions) does not mean it is a requirement to utilize each and every one of them.

It means they COULD be used, or they COULD not.

Therefore, the writer included the 5 Whys technique to improve the paper. There are statistical calculations within the paper as well as the aforementioned Six Sigma processes and Minitab methods discussed at length and their statistics

Type A Project Proposal

Introduction

The company that is the focus of this proposal is Al Ain Distribution Company (AADC), which is headquartered in Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates. AADC is a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA). The former company was incorporated in 1999 in the United Arab Emirates in accordance with Law No. 2 of 1998 (AADC). AADC is the lone purveyor and distributor of water and electricity in Al Ain and its surrounding, rural territories, which encompasses the Eastern Region of the Abu Dhabi Emirate. A large part of its efforts include owning, maintaining, and operating the myriad of network assets for the electricity and water supply industry, including the meters and select aspects of the infrastructure necessary to supply these services. AADC furnishes water and electricity services to approximately 500,000 people; it employs roughly 2,000 employees (AADC) to do so.

It is important to realize that as a utility company servicing the general public in the aforementioned region, AADC is a governmental entity and extension of ADWEA. As such, the latter has mandated a number of strict standards for the governance and performance of the former. Specifically, ADWEA is directly accountable for multiple aspects of the policies underpinning the operations of AADC, including policies for procurement, finances, and personnel (AADC). ADWEA is also influential in pinpointing the corporate objectives of its AADC, which span a couple of different areas.

AADC is attempting to upgrade the infrastructure for this utility to assist in the improvement of customer service. In financial terms, the company seeks to decrease the amount (and need for) its governmental subsidy, while decreasing its OPEX and CAPEX expenditures (AADC). Implicit to this objective is the goal of bettering the return on financial investments. The company is also trying to meet its obligations according to regulatory entities and its operating license.

Additionally, AADC has numerous core business areas upon which it is focused. The primary goal is to sate the water and electricity needs of a diverse customer base including agricultural, residential, government and commercial users. There are several different aspects of this goal that the company must account for, including regularly testing and ensuring water quality via its laboratory services, operating and maintaining its decentralized assets network, and maintaining the implementation of customer interfaces for billing, call center, and revenue purposes. The complexity of this undertaking is aggrandized by the need to fulfill these objectives for both current and future clients. The latter involves “extension and augmentation projects” that “will satisfy the demand from new residential, agricultural and commercial customers including major developments in the Region” (AADC).

Obviously, the principal stakeholder for AADC is ADWEA, which owns it. However, the company is responsible for a host of other stakeholders, which include both its burgeoning customer base as well as regulatory…Type A Project:

Introduction

The company that is the focus of this proposal is Al Ain Distribution Company (AADC), which is headquartered in Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates. AADC is a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA). The former company was incorporated in 1999 in the United Arab Emirates in accordance with Law No. 2 of 1998 (AADC).

A large part of its efforts include owning, maintaining, and operating the myriad of network assets for the electricity and water supply industry, including the meters and select aspects of the infrastructure necessary to supply these services. AADC furnishes water and electricity services to approximately 500,000 people; it employs roughly 2,000 employees (AADC) to do so.

It is important to realize that as a utility company servicing the general public in the aforementioned region, AADC is a governmental entity and extension of ADWEA. As such, the latter has mandated a number of strict standards for the governance and performance of the former. Specifically, ADWEA is directly accountable for multiple aspects of the policies underpinning the operations of AADC, including policies for procurement, finances, and personnel (AADC). ADWEA is also influential in pinpointing the corporate objectives of its AADC, which span a couple of different areas.

AADC is attempting to upgrade the infrastructure for this utility to assist in the improvement of customer service. In financial terms, the company seeks to decrease the amount (and need for) its governmental subsidy, while decreasing its OPEX and CAPEX expenditures (AADC). Implicit to this objective is the goal of bettering the return on financial investments. The company is also trying to meet its obligations according to regulatory entities and its operating license.

Additionally, AADC has numerous core business areas upon which it is focused. The primary goal is to sate the water and electricity needs of a diverse customer base including agricultural, residential, government and commercial users. There are several different aspects of this goal that the company must account for, including regularly testing and ensuring water quality via its laboratory services, operating and maintaining its decentralized assets network, and maintaining the implementation of customer interfaces for billing, call center, and revenue purposes. The complexity of this undertaking is aggrandized by the need to fulfill these objectives for both current and future clients. The latter involves “extension and augmentation projects” that “will satisfy the demand from new residential, agricultural and commercial customers including major developments in the Region” (AADC).

Obviously, the principal stakeholder for AADC is ADWEA, which owns it. However, the company is responsible for a host of other stakeholders, which include both its burgeoning customer base as well as regulatory entities. Specifically, the Regulation & Supervision Bureau has a superintendent and regulatory role in the prosperity of AADC, as does Transco, the entity tasked with the “the planning, construction, and operation of the Abu Dhabi water and electricity transmission network” (AADC). AADC also has several influential relationships with its suppliers for the various necessities required to keep water and electricity going in this part of the world. Additional stakeholders include both capital works developers and The Abu Dhabi Executive Council. The ability of AADC to furnish electricity and water is a pivotal element of the council’s Plan Abu Dhabi 2030 (AADC).

All of these stakeholders have a vested interest in the quality assurance and quality improvement measures that can assist AADC in better servicing its customer base. It is critical to understand, however, that despite the many pieces of equipment pertaining to infrastructure and monitoring capabilities for individual customers provided by AADC, this company does not provide products—it provides services. As such, this fact intrinsically affects the complexity of the quality improvement measures AADC must consider in order to meet its organizational objectives. Instead of having to deal with a finite number of products or even a single one, the company must account for the many numerous parts and components required to implement electricity and water services systemically through an entire region.

Therefore, the chief issue of quality improvement AADC is concerned with is facilitating electricity and water to the array of customers outlined above. Moreover, it should ideally perform this task while accounting for regulatory issues and the financial expectations previously denoted for reducing costs while bettering its services. AADC needs to achieve these objectives for the core business areas it focuses on while remaining a commercially viable and profitable subsidiary of ADWEA.

Even a perfunctory analysis of AADC’s quality management systems r
