QMS Interview Assignment: Final Paper
Part 3: QMS Interview Assignment: Final Paper (Due in Module 8)
The final paper of the interview and organization’s QMS will be due in our last module topic. Your paper should describe the organization’s management system and what you learned from the site visit and our books and articles read on these topics. The questions asked in the interview should be included in an appendix and properly presented in the document.
Your paper will be in APA Style format. When presenting a theory or research and content from our articles or books, use APA format with appropriate in-text citations and references (utilize APA resources provided). This will be written in 3rd person, past tense as the research and books have been written. When you relay your site information, person to be interviewed, questions, etc. that will be in 1st person, personal. That would not be APA but it is appropriate for what we are doing for the proposal paper. The document itself will be formatted per APA (margins, headings, page numbers, title page, etc.).
