Q$-$Sort Exercise Q$-$Sort Sidewalks Our company has six projects. We don't have the resources to complete all of the projects at one time. We are going to use the O sort method to prioritize our projects so we can accomplish the work over a period of time Our company was recently notified that we failed an EPA inspection on our ar fitration system We discovered that the system is irreperable so we must replace it If we do not meet the deadline the EPA set our compeny could face major fines or worse it could be shut down indefinitely in addition, we were recently notified of a change in city ordinance requiring al businesses within the city limits to have sidewalks. We were told that if we do not have sidewales in place with $8$ weaks we wil befined. Smoking Area High Priority Low Priority Our CEO Just came back from a technology conference in Las Veges. He was so excited to come back and tell us that he has placed a priority on solar panel instalation. While the solar panels are not a necessty the boss wants them and as he put it the sooner the better Resurface Parking Lot Air Filtration System High Priority Medium Priority Low Priority We have always wanted a lunch area for all workers so they can go outside and enjoy their lunch break under the beautiful blue skies. When our workers that smoke found out that we may install an outside lunch are they requested a smoking area as well We have employees that have been complaining about the roughness of the surface in the employee parking area. We decided to inspect the parking lot and found several potholes in this scenario we have discovered several projects. We know that we have limited resources so we need to prioritize the projects based on categories. We can do this using a g$-$sort methodology Solar Panels The projects that we identified are as follow Lunch Area Highest Priority High Priority Medium Priority Low Priority Lowest Priority $1$ Sidewalks $2)$ Smoking area for workers al Resurfacing the parking lot $4$ Air filtration system $5)$ Solar panels $6)$ Lunch area for workers Sort the six project cards into two project piles $-$ High Priority and Low Priority $2$ Divide the High Priority Projects into High Priority and Medium Priority Projects $3$ Dvide the Low Priority Projects into Medium Priority and Low Priority Projects $3$ Note: You should have three piles now Low, Modum ard High Priority Projects $,4.$ Divide the High Priority ple into Highest Priority and High Priority projects $5$ Dvide the Low Priority Ple into the Low Priority and Lowest Priority Ples
