Manufacturing History

The impact of globalization in relation the manufacturing companies have continued to widen across the globe. Raw materials are available all over the world. Innovations and technology have continued to impact the growth of small SMEs organizations due to the availability of raw materials (KURSAD OZEKIN, 2019). However, the need for knowledge of developing long-lasting organizations is still lacking in the manufacturing industry. Most organizations are starting up and closing within a few years. However, this blog aims at providing a platform that guides organizations on how to establish long-lasting organizations about the Quantigration Inc. manufacturing company.

The world categorizes its population into two. Those who live in the industrialized world depend on manufactured products. The evolution of manufacturing has evolved since 1790. Technology and innovations have promoted the globalization of products and cultural diversity among our manufacturer’s plants. The United States, over the years, has acquired the title of being a superpower due to the numerous products it produces and exports around the world. Thus, the manufacturing era has given organizations the opportunities to produce products and sell them globally.

However, due to globalization, and the numerous vast innovations in the world, start-up organizations, may lack the ability to establish the foundations of starting an organization (KURSAD OZEKIN, 2019). Writing blogs about historical organizations that have stood the test of time will give organizations the approaches and strategies that help organizations manage risks, threats, and opportunities in the manufacturing industry.

Another reference for the manufacturing history would be the Ford Company. The Ford Company, since its establishment, has continued to manufacture automobiles and earned a household name in the automotive industry (González-Crespo & Vazquez, 2017). The manufactures blog can highlight the organization’s growth process to inspire upcoming companies. Despite being an organization founded in the 1990s has developed to be an outstanding organization due to the leadership skills and the management strategies and approaches applied by Henry Ford in the establishment of the organization. When reflecting on the approaches to adapt in establishing an organization, manufacturers should evaluate the Quantigration Inc. organization and the Henry Ford. Both organizations were established before the innovations era but in a world that was in constant change, both established structures, and systems that allowed them to become part and parcel of the innovative world. An organization must be aware of the developing world and establish itself through online platforms.

Manufacturing History

You work for Quantigration, Inc., a semiconductor manufacturing plant headquartered in the United States. Capitalizing on advancements in its product, Quantigration has aggressively expanded and acquired fabrication plants and workers around the world.

In an effort to be more of a thought leader (an organization that is viewed as authoritative and influential in its industry), the company is starting a new public blog, and the organizers are currently taking proposals for regular columns.

Your manager, Gregory Russo, wants to propose a regular history column that focuses specifically on manufacturing. As a bit of a history buff, he wants to share his passion with others and thinks it could distinguish the company’s voice from that of its peers.

Gregory has already started a proposal and gathered lots of research on some potential topics for an accompanying sample article. Unfortunately, he just got assigned to an important project with a tight deadline and doesn’t have time to put it all together. He’s given you access to his notes and asked you to finish his proposal and write a sample article to be submitted to the organizers.

Directions

Part 1: Column Proposal

Gregory has already started a proposal but has asked you to finish it because he doesn’t have enough time. Using the partially completed draft in the Deliverables section, fill out the areas that he has marked. He’s specifically asked you to:

Using your understanding of historiography, explain how a company perspective like Quantigration’s can affect the study of the history of manufacturing. In other words, how might historians examine these blog posts in 20-30 years?
Outline a research process for future bloggers to follow

Part 2: Sample Article

In addition to the proposal, Gregory wants to submit a sample article to the company blog to be used as the first in a series. He’s already gathered some research on two topics and would like you to write a sample article on one of the topics he’s chosen.

Start by looking over Gregory’s research and choosing the topic that interests you most. You can review the primary and secondary sources he has gathered in the Gregory’s Research document in the Deliverables section. He has gathered information on:
- The Triangle Shirtwaist Company
- The Ford Assembly Line
Read through all of the sources on your chosen topic and start to consider information or ideas that stand out to you so that you can develop a research question. Gregory has asked you to develop a research question that is “appropriately sized,” meaning:
- It is more complex than a yes-or-no question, or something that can be answered with a fact (For example, “Who founded the Ford Motor Company” would be too small. “What was the impact of [factor] on [outcome]” would require further interpretation of the evidence.)
- It provokes discussion and leads to more questions
- It can be explored using the sources he’s provided
Choose at least four sources from your chosen topic to support your article. Gregory has asked you to include authoritative sources of information, and to use a balance of primary and secondary sources.
Write a 4- to 6-page (1,000- to 1,500-word) article on your chosen topic. Your article should synthesize perspectives from your sources, both primary and secondary, to form a cohesive historical narrative. It should also effectively communicate this narrative in a way that is supported by evidence from your research. Gregory recommended using the following outline to structure your article:
- State your research question.
- Write a brief description of each source and its author, identifying it as primary or secondary.
- Write a narrative description of the events supported by evidence from your research. (This will be the largest part of your article.)
- Finish with a conclusion in which you restate your research question and offer a tentative answer.

What to Submit

Every project has a deliverable or deliverables, which are the files that must be submitted before your project can be assessed. For this project, you must submit the following:

Part 1: Column Proposal Word Document (Short responses, based on Gregory’s draft)Finish Gregory’s email to the blog organizer using his draft letter as a basis.
