Reflect on the Final Project Using the Hansei Process
Reflect on the Final Project Using the Hansei Process
The Hansei process occurs constantly and consistently. At Toyota, for example, even if a project is successful, there is still a hansei-kai (reflection meeting) to review what went wrong. According to Jeffrey Liker, author of The Toyota Way, if a manager or engineer claims that there were not any problems with the project, he or she will be reminded that there is always room for improvement. In other words, they have not objectively and critically evaluated the project to find opportunities for improvement, or they did not stretch to meet (or exceed) their expected capacity.
The concept on the use of Hansei is not a required component of the final project, but rather an opportunity for you to step back and reflect on the project in regards to the knowledge you have gained.
Reflect on the final project you submitted this week, using the Hansei process. Identify three things you would do differently if you were involved in a similar situation at Netflix in the future. Explain your rationale for the items you have identified and what your different approach would be. This will help you to create clear plans for ensuring that it does not reoccur.
Explain two suggestions for avoiding this situation in the future.

Step One (20 points): Select and identify a topic that we will have covered in class/the reading prior to the assignment deadline. (Hint: The first sentence of your short paper should identify the topic you selected.)
Step Two (20 points): Briefly summarize what you already know from class/the reading about the topic. (Hint: After the first sentence that identifies the topic you selected, the rest of your first paragraph can focus on this brief summary.)
(The great majority of your paper should focus on Steps 3-6.)
Step Three (20 points): Identify questions you still have about the topic. (Hint: Don’t pick a topic about which you have no additional questions.)
Step Four: Consult the available research (from reputable sources) on the topic to see if the questions you identified in Step Three have already been answered. (Hint: You might need to visit the library to help you find any relevant research.)
Step Five (50 points): Describe what you learned from consulting the available research.
Step Six (50 points): If you were to conduct your own research on the topic, what would you do? Perhaps you might design an experiment or develop a survey. Describe in detail the research you would conduct and what you would hope to learn from the research. Note: I am not asking you to actually conduct any research; I am just asking you to propose it.
Step Seven (20 points): Cite any references you used in the creation of your paper. Your textbook counts as a reference.
Step Eight (20 points): Edit your paper for spelling and grammar. Make sure your writing is clear and organized.
Additional Guidelines:
This is a short paper. It should be 3-5 pages long (not including references). You can use 12-point Times New Roman font, and the paper can be double-spaced. Do not include a heading; just write your name at the very top of your paper.
The paper is due by the scheduled end of class on Thursday, December 6. See the syllabus for the policy regarding late papers.
I am here to help if you get stuck. That said, if you wait until the last minute, I probably won’t be able to help you very much because there won’t be time for me to help you.
The paper is worth 200 points. See the total possible points for each step (except for Step Four) noted above. Step Four is worth 0 points because the quality of your work for that step should be reflected in Step Five.

Contains an argument
Paper Contents/Structure:
The introductory paragraph must contain an argument (thesis). Although this seems to be an informative paper, it still must have a point. For instance, “The life of a typical Mexican woman during the colonial period in America was exceptionally challenging. Through the scrutiny of the concept of the cult of domesticity, Manifest Destiny, and the Greaser Law it becomes apparent that Mexican women faced a multitude of oppression much like her African American counterpart that still intimately defines her position in society today.”
Next, you would begin to construct your “colonial identity” in first person. You would introduce yourself, how you came to the colonies (this is what we call “historical fiction,” of course I am not expecting you to know that you came on the Mayflower and landed on Plymouth, but rather, based on your racial/ethnic identity, what would have your point of entry have been?) I understand that some groups will have a challenge finding a point of entry, for instance, in my case, very few Vietnamese would have been in colonial America. I would use as a reference point the entry of the Chinese. In my research I found that in 1834 the first Chinese woman Julia Foochee ching-chang king (Afong Moy) came to the United States. I would then use the Chinese experience to inform how a person like myself would experience life in the US. It might help to write your paper as a series of letters or journal entries.
What do you do for a living? What challenges do you face in the colonies? What advantages if any? How are you treated?
Third, I want you to then befriend another person that differs from your racial identity and explain their situation and life in the colonies. You would then research 3-5 laws, court cases, customs, and social practices that apply to your friend. They cannot be the same laws that you have used for yourself. Fourth, I want you to situate yourself in a major historical event and explain your perspective or role. For instance, if you are Native, how would you have reacted to the Indian Removal Act of 1830?
Last, I want you to reflect on your current identity and your life in the United States? How has the legacy of the experience of a person like yourself in colonial America impact your experiences today? What have you learned from your research?
Remember, I want you to be creative, but I need to see that you have done your research. You need to identify and explain laws, court cases, and social customs. Your historical event should also explain the significance and impact it had in history. Although you are making up the story, the facts are real. I need you to include at least 3 sources and a works cited or bibliography. Please use academic sources, Wikipedia, info please, and similar sites or blogs are not academic. You can use your text book, but they will not be counted towards the three sources. You need to cite within the body of your paper whenever you mention information that the average person does not commonly known. A good rule of thumb is whenever you cite a law, court cases, or custom, there should be a citation that follows. This also applies to details of your historical event. Be mindful: a paper without in-text citation will be given a zero with no opportunity to rewrite for a higher grade. When in doubt, ask.

Kozol (2005) concludes his book with a clear call to action. Which priorities does he exhort
readers to act upon? What do you think of his arguments that these are critical junctures to
intercede in and sustain efforts? What do you think you and other educators who persevere,
care, hope and risk could do to sustain students -and teachers- who struggle -and triumph daily
in distressing conditions?
