Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Notes:

  1. Students & Instructors are encouraged to read & review our AFAQs.
  2. Please review student incentives available, upon successful Project completion.

Scope:


  1. Baselining current consumption of water in residential daily shower use
  2. Mapping sequential build up of carbon FootPrint with incoming and outgoing water
  3. Quantifying avoidable consumption of water (in all areas such as: Bathing, Cooking, Toilet (Temperature Sensor), Gardening & Washing)
  4. Animating (via Powerpoint) build up process of Carbon Footprint associated with residential Water consumption
  5. Animating the "Would-Be" process to demonstrate benefits of the new and improved system
  6. Designing and Developing an App to minimize water replenishment in domestic use as well as conserve natural resources
  7. Testing the App for efficiency and effectiveness
  8. Launching the App to achieve residential water consumption goals and objectives


End Game: Minimizing replenishment of water consumption leading to reduced Carbon Footprint and associated pollution

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

Tasks to be executed:


  1. Baseline current consumption of water in residential daily shower use

  4. Animate (via Powerpoint) build up process of Carbon Footprint associated with residential Water consumption
  5. Animate the "Would-Be" process to demonstrate benefits of the new and improved system
  6. Design and Develop an App to minimize water replenishment in domestic use as well as conserve natural resources
  7. Test the App for efficiency and effectiveness
  8. Launch the App to achieve residential water consumption goals and objectives
How will you support learners in completing the project?

Team members at MGBS as well as "C" level executive per need.

Team and MGBS Inc. will decide frequency of meeting, length of meetings, effectiveness of meetings and most importantly escalation protocol of any issues coming from either side on a proactive and a constructive basis. Goal is to reduce meeting frequency and time and focus on meetings to celebrate milestone completion and lessons learned.

Top contributing factor for success is ability to escalate and collaboratively resolve to success and operate harmoniously as a TEAM.

What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?
  1. Google Suite (Sheet, Document, Presentations) Analytics
  2. Process Task Mapping using visuals related actions and decisions.
  3. MS Excel - Database, Project Task, Time Monitoring, Basic Graphical Analyses.
  4. Powerpoint (or equivalent, Canvas)
  5. Animating Water Consumption Reduction
  6. Experimental Math Modeling Via Statistical Tools/Techniques (Via Minitab)

All tools and techniques will be supported by IP to engage student teams toward a value added journey.

About the company

As a business process improvement coach & consultant I worked with several corporations in different continents over 31 years. After a successful 6-year work experience at General Electric Corporation, I founded my company in 2000, and have been fortunate to successfully deliver in a variety of industries such as manufacturing, technology, transactional as well as service type environments. Having published scientific & technical articles, including authoring 5 US patents I released my book on Lean Six Sigma in 2011. I converse reasonably in Dutch, and Spanish, the skills of which I acquired during my consulting times. To date, the total annualized direct customer benefits have accrued to several hundreds of millions of dollars across the globe in more than 20 years. I enjoy outdoor activities, and meeting people. I am thankful to my mentor (s), past employers, and my professional network members without which most achievements would have been impossible.
