Analytical Tools for Six Sigma

In a Word document, answer the questions below in APA paper format (double space, 11 or 12 pt font, title page, references, headers).  These questions require extensive research. You may use graphic and charts to assist in explaining the answer.  Each question should be about a full page double spaced.

1. [Source: Chapter 10]: Explain how the analytical tools for Six Sigma and continuous improvement can be applied to assure the dimensions of design quality are achieved relative to supply chain management. Link this concept to supply chain risk mapping and to service fail-safing. Use a specific example to support your answer to this question.
2. [Source: Chapter 12]: Explain the concept of a value stream map, the value provided by utilizing a value stream map, and how statistical process control can be applied to the value stream map to help improve a supply chain process.
3. [Source: Chapter 11]: Explain the concept of inventory turns and link this to concepts of make-to-stock and forecasting theory.
4. [Source: Chapter 13]: Explain the concept of the bullwhip effect. What is some way to anticipate, mitigate, and prevent a bullwhip effect? If a bullwhip effect happens, what is the impact on the supply chain management process?
5. [Source: Chapter 14]: Explain what mode of transportation is involved in the movement of the greatest number of products; and what mode of transportation is limited to specialized products such as liquids and gases?
