In this course, you will study production management. As part of the course, you will analyze an aviation or aerospace industrial management issue related to production/operations management and write a research paper PAPER TOPIC: Alaska Airlines flight 1282's Plug door departure during the flight. The title will be "Alaska Airlines Flight 1282: A Failure of Operations to Get It Right." This was a failure of many parts of the Boeing production line and delivery center but in different ways and should have been captured prior to delivery but was not. Additionally, not following known processes and procedures in many ways leads to this; an operations manager at some level should have seen this type of issue coming if they were in touch with their personnel. The previous work culture and allowance of out-of-position work in order to meet the schedule was no excuse for it being missed. Considering the 10 OM decisions, your paper will be a review of issues that were caused by a failure in the production/operations management process. You will compare and contrast the current research findings with the principles and concepts presented in your Heizer, et al. textbook. All reference sources should be from academic journals, professional trade publications, and respected business or industry magazines. Limit the use of books as sources. Do NOT use articles or sources from Wikipedia! Use references published within the past six years. The basic rules for your research paper include: Follow the current Writing Style Guide for manuscripts closely. The paper should be 10 pages at a minimum. Use one-inch margins on all sides. Left justify all narrative. Use Times New Roman font, 12-point. Indent the first line of each paragraph one-half inch. Double-space everything in the paper. Do not add extra lines or spacing between paragraphs or sections of the paper.
