Lean Sigma Methods and Tools for Service Organizations
Every business aspires to be competitive and profitable in its market. To do this, an organization needs to offer customers value propositions, which may be manifest in the product it produces or the service it provides. This in turn will create customer loyalty and growth. There are a number of organizational philosophies and strategies used by businesses to help accomplish this goal, among which are the concepts of Six Sigma and Lean. This book proposes to integrate the best practices from each of these philosophies and apply them to a customer-focused organization—a cruise ship—whose overriding mission is to deliver superior service to its customers. The authors demonstrate in this book how key components of both Six Sigma and Lean—such as identifying and removing defects, elimination of waste, metrics, speed of delivery, and the seamless integration of these concepts and practices throughout the operation—serve to enhance the kind of value propositions that customers recognize and that allow an organization to be successful.

Reinvent Your Waste
Reinvent Your Waste is a book about the history of waste, or garbage, and the progression of waste management and recycling in the United States, with some special emphasis on the state of Michigan. The book highlights four themes – respect, recover, reinvent, and restore, with each section offering insights and inspiration for those who want to be better stewards for Earth. In plain language, the author answers questions such as: • What is the growing waste doing to our natural ecosystems and to Earth’s ancient systems? • Can the negative impact of waste somehow be reversed? • Is waste – particularly material solid waste and products – being properly valued and used? Every year, millions of tons of waste go to landfills across the country and are considered safely buried to decompose. Are there more innovative ways to recover waste and create greater value, economically speaking? This study hits on many topics, but all are aligned to handle waste in a more sustainable and steward-like way. The major theme of the book is to inspire all people in society to reinvent waste.

Inclusive Hospitality in Online Learning
Online learning is often criticized for being impersonal and distant; inclusive hospitality is intended to counter these arguments by creating a learning environment that is welcoming, safe, and engaging. This begins with using course design principles that provide a course that is easy to navigate, and provides opportunities for interaction, relationship building, and active learning. Faculty, however, also play a key role in creating this platform for learning. Faculty teaching in an inclusive and hospitable manner are themselves teachable, empathetic, available, and consistent. This book provides a path and set of tools for faculty to welcome, encourage, and instruct their students in a powerful and transformative manner. It encourages them to consider how they might provide their students with the opportunity to be valued as individuals, as well as masters the content of their academic disciplines.
