Question
Instructions Part A: Initial Post You are to role-play an independent consultant for this assignment. Research artificial intelligence (AI) and how it can be implemented into Kibby and Strand's operational processes and products. Prepare your submission as a combination impact study and recommendation paper. This paper should be prepared as a Microsoft™ Word document, and then attached to the unit discussion thread. There is no minimum or maximum in terms of the word count; however, the response should explicitly address all required components of this discussion assignment. The document should be prepared consistent with the APA writing style and reflect higher-level cognitive processing (analysis, synthesis, and or evaluation). Need to Do in 500 Words double spaced/nDiscussion Guidance Class, This week you are writing an impact study to inform senior management of Kibby and Strand how the organization can leverage Al in its operational processes and the textile products it sells. I recommend you create the following sections: Purpose, Background, Analysis, Impacts, and Recommendations. The Background is where you look at how manufacturing and marketing uses Al, as well as how Al is being integrated into textiles products, The Background is based on research and you will need several sources to cover manufacturing, marketing, and customer support of textile products. The Analysis section is where you analyze the research in the Background, and Impacts is where you state the impacts you identified in your analysis. Number your impacts and there should be a clear linkage between analysis, impacts, and recommendations. By that I mean is every impact needs to be supported in the analysis section, and each impact needs to be addressed in recommendations. Going backwards, if I look at a recommendation it should state which impact it is addressing, and I should able to take that impact and see how you arrived at it in your analysis. There is not a simulation assigned this week in Connect for the discussion so you will use the information in the discussion scenario provided above. Let me know if you have questions. Bill Week 3 Layout of Impact Study for Artificial Intelligence on Kibby and Strand Operations.docx/nImpact Study of Artificial Intelligence on Kibby and Strand Operations Background and Purpose of Study - Summary of Kibby and Strand operations -- included mission statement, goals, and objectives (this you did in week 1) -Purpose of study is to identify operational functions of Kibby and Strand where Al can help achieve goals and objectives Research and Analysis -write down research questions - review textbook (probably will not be much help for this study) - look for 3-5 peer reviewed journal articles on using Al in marketing, production, and customer support - analyze the research and look for ways Kibby and Strand might utilize Al List Impacts - using the analysis list possible impacts to Kibby and Strand operations if they ignore or implement Al. These can be positive and negative impacts. List Recommendations - Every impact should be addressed in Recommendations, even if the recommendation is to do nothing. -Any negative impacts should be addressed in recommendations to include the risk if Kibby and Strand does not use Al in an operational task, e.g. what happens if Al is not integrated into marketing or manufacturing? When you finish, every recommendation needs to address a specific impact and each impact is supported in the Research and Analysis section.
