I. Executive Summary
AFLAC, incorporated offers all different types of insurance including life, health, and accident insurance as being their top sellers. The insurance industry can often be a competitive one. There are many insurance companies, in the past few years, that have been greatly effected by the current recession in the United States. Some insurance companies needed government intervention to help them through this.
AFLAC, just like other big companies out there, have gone through many problems. Building the House of Quality and using Deming’s five points will help this company succeed and train their employees better.

One of the difficulties in this section of the DMAIC phase is the natural instinct to prejudge ideas before thoroughly evaluating them in full detail. “Effective problem solvers must learn to defer judgment and develop the ability to generate a large number of ideas at this stage of the process, whether they are practical ideas or not (Evans, 266).” AFLAC needs to improve their customer service and paying their claims in a timely fashion. One idea that needs to be implemented is to have an online website to file the claims to AFLAC. This would be a big convenience to all AFLAC’s clients. On the website, it should also have a spot where you can track the status of

    We all know Costco as the mega-store that carries products of all sorts, has a cheap food court, and provides a diverse amount of services to their customers. Costco even offers their own line of products, Kirkland, which offers even lower prices compared to their complete store inventory. These attractive features and amenities has increased an overall membership, which in turn increases a volume of foot traffic throughout every square-inch of their warehouse. Due to a high demand, the problem of long wait lines persist. Often, the wait lines create a delay in the customer’s day as the lines extend to over 40 ft from the cashier.

    An individual could not travel far without meeting a stranger who could easily identify the duck icon and mimicking its tagline, “Aflac!” The market tagline was created in 2000 by the Kaplan Thaler Advertising Agency Group and recognized by nearly 90% of Americans; the pekin duck is an international icon and has done wonders for the organization (Best Review, 2003). For Example, after airing Aflac’s first duck commercial in January 2000, the organization rose practically overnight and became one of the most recognized brands of insurance in the market (AFLAC, 2008). The company advertised for six days and received more hits on their website for all 1999 and sales increased by more than 29% that is more sales increase during the first two weeks of the year than two previous years combined (Best Review, 2003). Aflac would never have experienced such success without the demands granted by innovation. Able to differentiate their competitor’s products, Aflac enforced an important marketing strategy in 1986, when the company expanded from rural to the metropolitan areas (AFLAC, 2008). The company used more independent insurance brokers rather than exclusive producers to sell their insurance and they recognize that brokers had already directed major medical coverage, other financial services, and could represent the organization with an excellent distribution channel (McCoy,…

    During the spring of 2005, the Operations Department of ABC, Inc. increased its staffing by adding 15 trainee positions. The company filled the positions in April with the expectation that the trainees would be able to complete orientation and begin work by July 1, 2005.

    In April 30, 1999, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation(Amtrak) will review a leveraged-lease proposal from BNY Capital Funding LLC(BNYCF) along with other financing options. The government will eliminate federal funding for any of Amtrak's operating expenses by 2002 . Therefore, Amtrak has developed a new high speed train line called Acela, which will bring in net annual revenues of $180 million by 2002. Amtrak needs to raise $267.9 million to purchase six locomotives and seven train sets. Assuming that Amtrak will have a tax rate of 0%, it has three options to gain use of the equipment: 1) borrow money to finance the purchase, 2) lease the equipment using a leveraged-lease proposal from BNYCF, or 3) use federal funding. A discounted cash flow(DCF) analysis will be used to find the most appropriate method.…
