As you have learned throughout your course of study, leading businesses requires flexibility, insight, and perseverance. The same is true in the not-for-profit business sector. Learning more about this sector and how it differs from the for-profit sector will hone your skills and set you up for success in the remainder of the course.

For the Module One discussion, please address the following:

• Based on the Module One readings and your personal experience, identify two similarities and two differences between the for-profit business sector and the not-for-profit business sector.
• Support your responses with examples, and cite your sources when necessary.

* Chapter summaries attached for brief reference*

Develop a Memo directed to the Supervising Manager (your faculty) informing about the population status assessment at the time and the identifiers of the needs. Provide the sources this information was pulled. This is not your job role related assignment, but rather a general topic important for all the managers to understand. Make sure to chose correctly identified risk population and appropriate identifiers.  

CasCase study to use is attached*

*List vital statistics of the involved population (read about the vital statistics at www.med.mcgill.ca/epidemiology/hanley/c609/material/VitalStatisticsEoB.pdf ). Chose minimum 2 vital statistics markers and explain their significance in this situation. Make sure to provide the calculations and justification for the marker choice. 

*Chose 2 specific groups and list minimum 1 need per group to address based on your population status assessment.

• Assignment Creating a Budget
• In this assignment you will create a spreadsheet and a chart to help a hypothetical couple work out their budget. You will submit a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet following the directions below to the appropriate submission folder by the due date. You will name this file W4P_LastName.xlsx.
  Please Note:Information to help you with this project is available in the Week 4 online lectures, your textbook, as well as Microsoft Excel Help (F1). Your professor is also a great resource. If you work ahead, you can post questions about this assignment on the Questions for the Professor discussion board and still submit your assignment on time.
• Scenario:
• Tom and Sally were trying to get a handle on their budget. They heard that MS Excel could help them with that.  Tom is going to school and has cut back on his hours. Sally has finished her associate’s degree and is working full time. They want to look at the last three months of their income and expenses to see where they can make changes.
• Part I – The Spreadsheet
• First, in an Excel Spreadsheet, create a budget to show Tom and Sally’s income, expenses, and money leftover each month (Net). Create formulas in your spreadsheet for your calculations using the following data:
  
  • Tom brought home $1,000 a month for January, February, and March.
  • Sally brought home $1,900, $2,000, and $1,975 respectively for those three months.
  • They paid $1,000 for rent and utilities each month.
  • They paid $88 for insurance each month.
  • They paid $60 for cell phones and $60 for Internet/TV each month.
  • They spent $600, $750 (due to a big birthday bash), and $500 on food respectively.
  • Their car payment and gas came to $225, $250, and $300 respectively.
  • Entertainment and gifts were $75, $100, and $45 respectively.
  • They paid a little extra on their credit card $150, $125, and $100 respectively.
  • They allocated $200 each month for personal grooming and health care.
  • They put $100 each month into savings.
  • Miscellaneous Expenses came to $200, $100, and $400 respectively.
  • A sample budget layout is included below as an example of one way to lay out a budget.
    
  • Part II – The Chart
  • Once you have worked out the budget spreadsheet, use the tabs at the bottom of the page to open another sheet. Here you will create a chart similar to the example below using the tools you learned about in the lectures and the textbook. On the new sheet:
  1. Create a column chart to visually represent their monthly expenses. If you have a challenge getting the chart on this sheet, research how to move your chart using your reading or Help (F1). You might also try right clicking on the chart.
  2. Add a descriptive title to the chart.
  3. 
  4. Part III – Changing Values
  5. Copy everything from Sheet 1 (the budget calculations) and paste it into a new worksheet.
  6. Change values for Sally’s March income to $200 more. Let’s say that they didn’t use as much heat in March and their utilities were $75 less (you could use a formula to figure out $75 less but you don’t have to). See how the totals change automatically if you used formulas correctly. If the values did not change, check your formulas and try them again. Seek help if you can’t figure this out.
  7. Rename each of your three spreadsheets with descriptive names.

 

Prevalence and incidence measures are often used in epidemiology and biostatistics. The measures are used to provide information regarding the total number of cases of a disease and the likelihood of a disease affecting a particular population. “Prevalence refers to the proportion of participants with a disease at a particular point in time” (Sullivan, 2012).

In contrast, “incidence reflects the likelihood of developing a disease among a group of participants free of the disease who are considered at risk of developing the disease over a specified observation period” (Sullivan, 2012). Combined, this information provides public health officials, such as epidemiologists, with cohesive information of the risk and impact of a disease.

Based on the module readings, respond to the following:

• Explain the difference between prevalence and incidence measures.
• Illustrate the difference between the prevalence, cumulative incidence, and incidence rate using an example or scholarly references.
• What are some problems with estimating the cumulative incidence rate?

Write your initial response in 3–4 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Lean manufacturing is a philosophy of production that focuses on the minimization of resources used throughout the organization in the production of goods and services. Lean manufacturing involves identifying and eliminating non-value adding activities in design, production, supply-chain management, and in dealing with the customers.

Select a manufacturing business in Saudi Arabia and discuss the following:

• What the company does.
• Its value adding and non-value adding activities, including tools for Lean Six Sigma such as just-in-time manufacturing.
• Any rapid change-over activities the company uses or could use.
• The company’s employee empowerment opportunities.

Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories, which require supporting citations along with at least two scholarly, peer-reviewed references in supporting your answer.
