...ISSUES ON HIGH ABSEENTEISM AND DRIVER SHORTAGE Problem Statement The next problem that PHSB was faced is the high abseenteism and driver shortage. This is greatest challenge facing PHSB and not merely limited to smaller transport companies. With greater attention to operate closer to just-in time, the transport companies were pressured to deliver CPO to the refineries on time. Just-in-time operate under the concept of receiving raw materials, products and parts as they are needed, rather than days or even weeks before. This allows businesses to significantly cut inventory costs by having fewer unnecessary supplies on hand and far less material to store. As effective as just-in-time delivery is, it can be difficult to coordinate large amounts of shipments efficiently, especially when dealing with shipments that vary in size and destination. In using just-in-time delivery, the fact that most companies require drivers to be on the road for days at a time. And of course they will be tired after their stint. The irregular routes and the days away from home are difficult for many drivers. This leads to the high abseenteism and driver shortage because they need to be ready at all time regardless what they are doing. Other than that, the problem is the matter of remuneration package that these drivers are getting from PHSB. Since PHSB was a small family-owned company, it was unable to provide an attractive remuneration package to the drivers. The hardwork of PHSB’s drivers were...

...Introduction AT&T is one of the largest telecommunications carriers in the United States it is head quartered in downtown Dallas. As of 2012 it is the 7th largest company by total revenue, and 5th non-oil company behind Apple, Wal-Mart, GE and Bank of America. AT&T started as South Western Bell one of the seven Regional Bell Operating Companies created 1983 before they were ordered to break up due to the United States v. AT&T Anitrust lawsuit. Southwestern Bell changed there to SBC which also almost caused me my job because I was not expecting a call from “SBC” but rather South Western Bell. I remember answering the phone and asking the young lady to please hold while I was trying to figure out who she was with. Fast forward twelve years later and we have gone through several mergers and acquisitions and we currently have over 200,000 employees around the world. For many years AT&T has been ahead of their competitors. The innovation of their products and services assisted them in increasing their market share within the industry. Over the last couple of years, the competition has introduced several products and services that have challenged AT&T’s market share. And as we look towards the future we willingly accept that there is always room for improvement. Problem Statement We are focused on being the number one carrier in the United States and as we expand our 4g network we have discovered an issue in our quality measurements. We do not have an automated...

...What are today’s hot topics in procurement that are mostly shared/discussed on the Internet and on social media sites like Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, etc.? Introduction “The procurement function is constantly evolving, with many organisations going through significant transformations over the past decade. Now more than ever, there is a considerable emphasis on the integration phase and the focus has shifted to delivering the value proposition through collaboration and partnerships.” (http://www.procurementleaders.com/forum-zurich) Financial crises have been troubling our economies and it seems that every new crisis has a bigger impact than the one before. As a result, top management is looking more and more towards procurement with the goal to improve their bottom line. But lately procurement has shifted from strictly operational to a more strategic function. Hot topics are not only low cost sourcing, but also supplier integration to become more innovative, procurement technology’s contribution towards profitability and growth, and how social media affects talent management (http://spendmatters.com/uk/procurement-hot-topics-agenda-2014-part-2/). However, the measurement of procurement contribution is often a very sensitive subject. There are no clear boundaries between the various functions involved and thus tensions are bound to occur when it comes to target savings per function at the end of the year. Among today’s hot topics is also the identification...
