Proposed Employer Based Project
Describe the business problem you propose to address
The Torrens University is one of the biggest universities in the country with a wide variety
of students flocking to the university every year to pursue a career. They opt for different
courses and diplomas to get a good name and credit in their career resumes. However,
recently with the advent of modern technology, all other universities have upgraded
themselves to use the modern day teaching systems whereby the students are given
electronic notes and the method of teaching is very easy. The Torrens university has been
unable to do so due to lack of association sponsors and funds. This has made the students
extremely dissatisfied as they are not used to the old school methods of teaching and are
hence facing problems while learning. The main issue in Torrens University is related to
change management wherein the university is not being able to enable different
strategies that will help in solving these issues and handle them effectively.
Secondly, the students have also been complaining that the university is charging
higher fees and this has caused havoc amongst the students with regard to the fees and
they have lodged various complaints against the university.

I have taken this particular issue to address because student is the main reason
behind the running of the university. If the students are not satisfied then they tend to
influence the other population and can bring a bad name for the university. Hence, if this
problem is solved, the university will be in a favorable position.
Describe the current impact of the business problem to your employer
The primary problem is the student dissatisfaction. The students often complain that they
are being over charged and that they are not being provided with adequate facilities. This
leads to the following impacts on my employer`s business:
Reduction in annual admissions- As the students perceive that the courses that are being
offered are overpriced, they tend not to enroll to various courses. This has witnessed a
dip in the earnings and enrollment of the university.
Wasted effort- The professors do put in a lot of effort behind teaching the courses but
unfortunately, their efforts are being wasted and they are unable to convert their efforts
to success.
Hampering university name- Due to the conception of increase in the fees and no usage
of modern teaching materials and technology, the name of the university in the country is
being hampered and this spoils the goodwill of the organization. When the goodwill of
the organization is spoilt, it tends to bring a bad name for the organization.
Describe how the employer will benefit from your proposed project
The proposed project is to satisfy the different needs of the students by organizing the
different implementation of study programs with the guest lecturers in the college. The
main aim of implementation of six sigma was to understand the difficulties faced by the
students as this would help in improving the quality, productivity, growth and cost of the

techniques and the software that will be implemented by the Torrens University in an
effective manner.
Positive effects of Six sigma
The six sigma is the management methodology that will help the university in
incorporating the change management in an effective manner. DMAIC will help in using
the different processes that will provide a proper view on the different benefits that can
be gained by the business effectively. Torrens University can apply the six sigma with the
help of increasing the productivity and the quality of the studying techniques in college
and this will help in managing the time effectively as well. The strategic planning is the
other advantages that can be gained by the company as this will help them in planning
few strategies that will help them in understanding requirements of students by sending
them feedback forms and remove their grievances in an effective manner.
Describe the key deliverables you will be accountable for
With the help of the study programs organized by the college with the different guest
lecturers along with implementation of six sigma that has been done by the Torrens
University has to be properly implemented by them in an effective manner. Torrens
University needs to implement the study program by offering different kind of services to
the customers and this will effectively increase quality by providing three facilities that
include:
The key deliverables of implementation of agile method of six sigma includes:
 Reputable certification and training is required to be provided to the students
wherein the education training will be provided through modern techniques such
as computerized or digital methods
 Secondly, international recognized training is required to be provided wherein
the students will get proper training to the students in an effectual manner
 Easy access to different websites and portals as this will help the students in
understanding the different digital techniques of studying in an effectual manner
 Blended e-learning techniques along with training is available in order to analyze
the different experiments of design in an effectual manner
