The Use of a SWOT Analysis to Evaluate a COVID-19 Mitigation Project in the Paso del Norte Region.

A SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis is a strategic planning and management technique used for project planning. It is sometimes called situational assessment or situational analysis. We applied this tool (with some adaptations) effectively in a health promotion/public health education intervention project in the Paso del Norte region. This region is composed of a predominantly Hispanic population and is marked by a dynamic flow of residents across the border. In this milieu, COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted communities of color and individuals who are economically and socially marginalized. The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) has partnered with the National COVID-19 Resilience Network (NCRN) to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 among farm and food production workers (i.e., farmworkers, dairy, and meat packing workers) in El Paso, Doña Ana, and Moore counties. Intervention strategies include: (1) providing culturally and linguistically appropriate COVID-19 information, (2) disseminating protective equipment, and (3) ensuring access to COVID-19 vaccines. After completing year 1 of the project, we conducted a multiple-level SWOT analysis to evaluate, gather insights, and develop actionable strategies that would allow better service delivery to our priority population. We provide this case study to illustrate how a SWOT analysis can be a useful tool for practitioners engaged in the practice of evaluating health promotion and disease prevention programs. Even when attention and energy is absorbed in the immediate course of action, a SWOT analysis can help to achieve positive and effective collaborations resulting in strong service levels.

Nanotechnology Practices and Cost Restructure for Effective Cost Management under Industry 4.0 Based Manufacturing Systems

This study offers a theoretical foundation for how nanotechnology impacts most commodities and materials in many ways, given high-tech production processes that increase goods' functional, chemical, and physical qualities. This influenced the cost structure of production and strategic cost management's efforts to adjust for the change. The study employed descriptive-analytic methods to investigate nanotechnology's impact on cost management. The study was based on a comprehensive review of previous studies on nanotechnology and Industry 4.0. The results imply strategic cost management as a vital management and accounting strategy for reallocating indirect costs based on specifications to produce items that meet consumer needs. With rising fixed costs, this study links nanotechnology and cost structure. Strategic cost management techniques minimize costs while preserving product quality, enabling organizations to stay competitive.

The Role of the Robotics Coordinator: Improving Efficiency in a Robotic Surgery Program.

An increase in the number of surgical robots from four to nine at a large academic medical center in the northeastern United States created several challenges for personnel to keep up with the increased robotic surgical volume and remain efficient. To facilitate improvements, the robotic steering committee at the facility created a full-time robotics coordinator position. After joining the steering committee, the new coordinator performed a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis to identify specific goals for process improvement; these included improvements to procedure scheduling, OR layouts, surgeon preference cards, point-of-care supply storage, team communication, and new hire orientation and competency. This article discusses the role of a robotics program coordinator and how this coordinator used strategic management tools and techniques, including lean principles, to streamline processes, maximize efficiency, and decrease operational variances across the robotic surgery program at this institution.

Strateška analiza eksternog okruženja

The starting point from which we began our research was that many companies around the world could not predict and adapt to the new changes taking place in the environment (closure due to the corona virus pandemic, war in Ukraine, sanctions against Russia). Through strategic analysis, companies were able to gather information about planned scenarios and based on them, quality decisions could be made. The goal of the research is to point out the importance of strategic analysis, as an important phase in strategic planning, in order to avoid or mitigate all threats that have arisen in the external environment. The paper will present methods and techniques, with which management will collect data, all with the aim of making timely decisions. The methods we used for the work are: analysis and synthesis. The results of the research show us that if companies master these methods and techniques of strategic management on the one hand and have quality management on the other hand, they can largely predict the emergence of potential threats from the external environment. To avoid crisis situations, it is necessary for every company to incorporate crisis management within its organization.
