The recent advances in information and communication technology (ICT) has promoted the evolution of conventional computer-aided manufacturing industry to smart data-driven manufacturing. Data analytics in manufacturing data can provide insights into cost savings and efficiencies, but it can also result in research challenges due to many reasons.  You can address Big Data in support of manufacturing, but any use of data science is acceptable.  You will see the term “smart manufacturing” often applied to this area of research.

For this assignment, you are required to research the benefits as well as the challenges associated with Data Science in support of a manufacturing process.  You can choose any type of product, so please try to focus on a single type of product, not manufacturing in general.  Examples could be automobiles, aircraft, computers, smart phones, heavy equipment, ships.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately 3-5 pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

• Follow APA guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

• Support your response with the readings from the course and at least five peer-reviewed articles or scholarly journals to support your positions, claims, and observations. 

• Be clear with well-written, concise language, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Corporate Ethics Portfolio

Assignment Content

1.     The corporate Board of Directors has asked you to provide a portfolio of your research into the expansion of the company into the country you presented on in Wk 4.

   Include an overall corporate code of ethics based on your review of professional associations, such as IEEE, ACM, SANS, ISACA, ASIS, and ISC(2). Include the following in your portfolio:

   • Based on the ethical challenges identified in Week 4, choose and depict 2 risks to the corporation related to each challenge in a 1-page table using either Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel.
   • A 1- to 2-page corporate code of ethics using Microsoft Word based on your review of professional associations, such as IEEE, ACM, SANS, ISACA, ASIS, and ISC(2), and the ethical challenges identified
   • A 1- to 2-page concise synopsis of classical ethical theories
   • A 1- to 2-page process to logically evaluate ethical dilemmas as they arise with the expansion of the company into the country you have chosen. Ensure that the process reflects the code of ethics you provide; for example, your process could start with identifying which part of the code applies to a particular new dilemma and move through assessing the various choices you could make along with any resulting consequences. The end goal is to help your corporation manage complex ethical questions with a variety of stakeholders.
   • All references need to adhere to APA guidelines and images should not be copied unless you’ve obtained author permission or used copyright-free images.

Part 1 

Chapter 15 – According to Crocker and Smallwood, cloud computing represents one of the most significant paradigms shifts in information technology (IT) history, due to an extension of sharing an application-hosting provider that has been around for many years, and was common in highly regulated vertical industries like banks and health care institutions. The author’s knowledge from their research continue to assert that, the impetus behind cloud computing lies on the idea that it provides economies of scale by spreading costs across many client organizations and pooling computing resources while matching client computing needs to consumption in a flexible, real-time version. 

Q2: Even with this great news about the benefits of the cloud computing applications, the authors have warned the business user community regarding the dangers associated with cloud computing applications. Please identify and name these grave dangers/risks that pose as concerns, and briefly support your discussion.

Part 2 

2. Write on two topics 50 words discussing the above question (50 words x 2) 

Note: Create a new page other than paper in the same document for two topics

Now, it is time for you to discuss the project’s challenges (e.g., risks); performance management plan (e.g., earned value management); and proposed plan for closing the project when it is done.

Write a four to six page paper, in which you define the execution, control, and closure aspects of your chosen project. In your paper you must:

2. Identify and discuss your project’s greatest challenges (at least three) and provide a recommendation for addressing each of the challenges.
3. Examine how you manage your project performance via earned value management (EVM). Identify at least three key EVM metrics you will use for your project.
4. Discuss your plan to properly close the project when it is over.
5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
