...how these suggestions could be implemented. You should identify any barriers to the implementation, such as the culture in place, and propose possible ways to overcome them, in the light of earlier finding. Lean Operations When the customers have to wait between different stages of the operation, this holds up the following stages of the process. Waiting itself causes waste in manufacturing as when the business orders inventory, if the waiting time increases this means less of the product can be manufactured. Less end product means perishable inventory will be wasted and cast off as an expense. At the moment Subway only has one till at the end of the manufacturing process. I recommend that the company should invest in more tills at the payment stage or a self-service checkout. This would improve the process flow and thus create a leaner operation, especially in larger branches or branches in more crowded areas. Location Decision The Subway situated on campus is ideally located as it’s in close proximity to its customers and it also has little competition. However, the Subway in town has a greater amount of competing food chains food chains located nearby therefore loses more custom. To maximise its custom it could offer some deals to entice people to make purchases. Subway could also offer a student discount as many of its main competitors (McDonalds) already offer additional items free of charge if you are a student and you buy a certain amount.

Sign up to View Full Document CASE: PR MOTORCYCLES: Till We Meet Again 1. What, if any, did the president fail to do? This is an issue of ethical management. Managing employees can be a daunting prospect. Many business owners started their businesses because they wanted to be their own boss, but what happens when there is a conflict of your interest versus the company policy – what kind of leader will you be, how will you juggle your business and the regulatory requirements of being the boss? While great leadership is often measured by your ability to lead and mentor your employees, it’s also important to remember that as an employer and manager you are required to treat all employees equally and fairly. This is something that Mr. Pedro Reyes failed to do when he took the responsibility that Ms. Amelia Rivera should have done as the head of the HR department. It was a gross disrespect on the part of Ms. Rivera. Mr. Reyes could have allowed Ms. Rivera to take action on the matter as it was the latter’s responsibility. https://www.coursehero.com/file/12214602/MBAcasetillwemeetagain/ 1/7 12/13/2015 MBA case till we mee...

...with my high school sweetheart “A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person” A happy marriage is one where you both work on issues to solve them, you both respect, and love each other, and want to be with your spouse like it was the first day you met, it’s when you know there may be bumps in the road, but together you will ride them out and emerge with them even stronger and have a stronger bond it’s when you know someone and that someone will always have your back and vise versa, it’s when you see each other after being apart even for a couple of hours and smile in a genuine way and having that happiness of being reunited. I would always not expect perfection to me a happy marriage means good communication skills both talking and listening, respect and responsibility for oneself. You should be able to be happy for each other when things are tough. You can be down on your luck, but a happy marriage means that at the end of the day you are happy to be with you your partner no matter what the circumstances may be. When you signed that paper, you made a promise to be with that person till death till you part. Falling in love with your partner many times might mean you should try different things. I fell in love with my boyfriend many times all over again like it was the first time I met him. I met him when I was in high school I was in ninth grade and...

...used for companies to make sure that they are trading financially fairly and also that the accounts they are presenting to the general public or shareholders are true and justified. These financial auditing results can be presented to shareholders, banks and anyone else with an interest in the company. One of the main reasons for a financial audit is to ensure that the company is not making any fraud. This is why the financial auditing body should be an independent third party. AR = Audit risk: is the risk that the auditor will incorrectly issue an unqualified opinion. IR = Inherent risk: is the risk of material misstatements absent any internal controls or testing. CR = Control risk: is the risk that internal controls will fail to prevent or detect material misstatement. DR = Detection risk: is the risk that audit tests will fail to detect material misstatement. i) In this planning of the audit, the three audit areas which appear to have high inherent risk in my opinion are: 1. Sales system: Gala restaurant is owned by husband and wife, and each of them has a 50% of the company share and they are both directors of the company, Gala has been making good sales and there usually done by cash but it also accepts card payment and cheque. However, at the end of each day there is different between amount in the till and the one showing on the till roll. And again they use the money from till to pay for some small item, and also the company pay some wages from the till by cash...

...to build the company, and then (3) once the company is clearly succeeding, raise one or more later rounds to accelerate growth. Reality can be messier. Some companies raise money twice in phase 2. Others skip phase 1 and go straight to phase 2. And at Y Combinator we get an increasing number of companies that have already raised amounts in the hundreds of thousands. But the three phase path is at least the one about which individual startups' paths oscillate. This essay focuses on phase 2 fundraising. That's the type the startups we fund are doing on Demo Day, and this essay is the advice we give them. Forces Fundraising is hard in both senses: hard like lifting a heavy weight, and hard like solving a puzzle. It's hard like lifting a weight because it's intrinsically hard to convince people to part with large sums of money. That problem is irreducible; it should be hard. But much of the other kind of difficulty can be eliminated. Fundraising only seems a puzzle because it's an alien world to most founders, and I hope to fix that by supplying a map through it. To founders, the behavior of investors is often opaque—partly because their motivations are obscure, but partly because they deliberately mislead you. And the misleading ways of investors combine horribly with the wishful thinking of inexperienced founders. At YC we're always warning founders about this danger, and investors are probably more circumspect with YC startups than with other companies they talk to...

...addresses ethics and morality as well as a personal experience to explain the relationship between moral concepts, values, and virtue will included as well (Manias, Monroe, & Till, 2013). The virtue theory deals with character traits as the most important part. Moral character is most emphasized element in ethical thinking. This is placed above ones actions in order to bring good consequences to the situation. Virtue theory also has to do with integrity to the highest order over the behavior and decisions (“Ethical Theories Compared”, 2001). Virtuous people are kind above all else. They are kind because of their character and do not concern themselves with receiving favors or thinking about how the situation can benefit them. Theories of virtue do not identify characteristics principles that can use in any moral situation (“Ethical Theories Compared”, 2001). Morality has to do with your actions when other people are directly affected. It is important for you to take people for who they are and not look for things inside of situations that may benefit you. Virtue ethics are self-centered because is specifically deals with your own well-being and character. Without being self-centered, virtue ethics brings together what is required by self-interest as well as morality (Manias, Monroe, & Till, 2013)....

...Transcript of Project Management-A&D Conclusion Resource Analysis Thank You for Your Attention Recommendations Cost Analysis CIO Matt Webb had to decide on whether to buy an off the shelf software, or customize and build one. After conducting a cost benefit analysis, and much deliberation, Webb decided that building one would be more efficient. To start off, a cross functional team of 6 people was created to plan the project based on the “build” decision. After defining the teams planning components and requirements, the following resources and tools were required to complete the project. A&D’s Methodology The stores sales reach a peak during the holiday season and the CEO wanted to know if the project could be done in time to jump on the holiday sales.

How does Tesco use market research? They do market research all the time - they can see exactly what is selling through their tills every hour of every day due to all that barcode scanning. They can then make future purchasing decisions on this information - and know just how much stock to carry in any particular supermarket to reflect local preferences. They know who is buying what by collecting demographics of their customers in reward schemes. They monitor what their rivals are doing and at what price they are selling comparable brand items. They also employ focus groups and panels to test new products to see if they will sell, to ensure that recipes are acceptable and that packaging has the right sort of appeal. Their budget for market research is eye-wateringly large - but the dividends they produce make or break their profit margins.
