...Centralized Planning in Cruise Industry Abstract This paper identifies the conventional supply chain planning system MRP (materials resource planning) and the complexity of global cruise supply chain management and suggests a contemporary centralized ERP (enterprise resource planning) to solve supply chain issues. Introduction and background The ever-expanding cruise ship industry seems to have no end to its own growth. In the 1980s the growth beat every expectation and since then, the sustained growth has repeatedly given the cruise sector the title of the fastest growing segment in the tourism industry with an 8.4% average annual growth from 1980 to 2003 and a projected similar pattern for the coming years. Another sign of booming business is the fact that every cruise company is ordering 1–2 ships per year to increase their capacity. With these increasing size and capacity expansions, the problem of supply chain and logistics management is also compounded. The ships benefit from very tiny time windows to re-supply and these are not increasing proportionally with size. Therefore, these bigger ships will create new challenges on an operational level. To worsen the problem, cruise ships are committed to the supplies present onboard once leaving the port. Therefore, demand forecasting must be very precise if the safety stock is to be reduced in this space-starved environment, while preventing costly stock outs. Overall planning of supply chain Cruise industry consists of...

...INTRODUCTION The theory of organisations attempt in providing Realistic Job Previews (RJPs) has drawn extensive consideration for both educational scholars and practitioners concerned with human resource (HR) recruitment and selection. Organisations use RJPs before a candidate has accepted a job offer, it is used in order to provide job applicants information on both negative and positive aspects of the job (Breaugh 1983). For the rationale of this literature review, we uphold Schreurs’ and Syed’s (2011) explanation of RJP seeing that demonstrates the important position of recruitment practices in enhancing to achieve an organisation’s strategic objectives. This literature review aims to address this through the research conducted by various authors. This review will begin with emphasizing on the purposes of all the findings, subsequently, investigating the current theories in the literature on RJPs by communicating how they are conventionally treated as divergent proportions of the recruitment process. Following the methodological study, outcomes will be discussed, with explicit consideration of RJPs limitations and recommendation to expand on a more effective realistic recruitment processes. PURPOSE Considerable amount of research has been performed on the impact RJPs have on job applicants’ expectations, satisfaction and employee turnover. Schreurs and Syed (2011) show the importance of RJPs in the recruitment function. RJPs meet the expectations of job applicants (Breaugh...

...Executive Summary In this project, we have tried to understand the HR development policies that are being followed at Tata Motors Ltd. We explore the various facets of the policies by studying the literature of the HR policies, by discussing about these policies with the HR of the company and also speaking to the employees of the company. First of all we look at the Organization as a whole, what it stands for, what are its core values, vision and mission and then delve into the HRM practices, mainly with respect to its Human Resource development. We zero in to four categories to which these policies can be broken down to: * Assessment & Feedback * Career Progression & Job Rotation * Training & Development * Performance Awards For the purpose of evaluation of these policies, we conduct our primary research in the RECON department of Lucknow Works of Tata Motors Ltd. The research consists of an online survey and a few in depth interviews. From the responses we have tried to objectively assess the perception of these policies and tried to indentify the areas where there is a mismatch between employee expectation and HR objective. Towards the end, we have come up with some recommendations that could be looked at as possible options to further improve the policy framework. Introduction Vision: To be a world class corporate furthering the interest of all its stakeholders Mission: * Shareholders * To consistently create shareholder...

...tracking, skills development and tracking, benefits administration and compliance with associated government regulations. (Entrepreneur.com) The human resources (HR) role is becoming increasingly important in the business world. Human resources includes the combination of traditionally administrative personnel functions with performance management, employee relations, and resource planning. The field draws upon concepts developed in industrial/organizational psychology. In the past, HR personnel did a lot of administrative work. This is changing with the global shift to service-based industries. As the role evolved, HR practitioners wanted to become business partners and actually engage more in the organization’s core business. At present, we see the function of HR going beyond being that of just a business partner to being at the forefront and, in some instances, heading business initiatives (Jones, 2012). We became interested in the field of HR for several reasons. One, it offers an attractive area of employment for business students. Also, it requires a good mix of interpersonal and analytical skills, rather than just number-crunching abilities like in more quantitative areas. And it is an area with promising growth for the future, especially for people interested in international careers. Furthermore, HR is especially important in Singapore, which is small and lacks natural resources. It has based its economic growth of providing superior human skills and...

...Air Charter Business Proposal i Air Charter Business Proposal from an Information Technology Perspective. Steven R. Marcum, Steven Cross and Jeffery Prendergrast Introduction to Management Information Systems MGMT 221 Professor Ira Strauss January 15, 2011 Air Charter Business Proposal ii Abstract The objective of this project is to develop a business proposal for an air charter company that caters to the tourism trade from an information technology standpoint operating in the Hawaiian Islands. The technologies that will be discussed will range from hardware and software requirements for weather, flight planning, crew scheduling and maintenance operations. To begin we will examine the flight planning system known as Jeppesen Flite Star IFR which is considered one of the world's leading desktop flight planning technologies. It includes advanced features and innovations such as Vector Plus mapping technology and vector chart themes, which offer low and high altitude en-route chart emulations as well as user-customizable charts which includes all of the complexities involved in the planning of a typical commercial airline flight from the aspect of the flight operations dispatcher. Next as we continue we will turn the discussion to crew scheduling which will lead us to Flight Pak which provides management with aircrew scheduling in both local and ZULU times. The discussion will point to how the system will provide more accuracy in the scheduling...

...Refuelling Schedule for Airports By Kiran R K Jitha Babu Shyam S Sreeraj S CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 REFUELLING Refuelling is an important aspect with respect to the airports since it determines the ground time of an aero plane. Aircraft fuelling can take up to 90 minutes of ground time. Hence, precise planning and allocation is absolutely essential. Once a flight lands in an airport it has to be refueled for the next flight. The quantity of fuel required depends on the distance it has to travel to reach the next station and type of flight. Aviation fuel is a specialized type of petroleum-based fuel used to power aircraft. It is generally of a higher quality than fuels used in less critical applications such as heating or road transport, and often contains additives to reduce the risk of icing or explosion due to high temperatures, amongst other properties. Aviation fuels consist of blends of over a thousand chemicals, primarily Hydrocarbons (paraffins, olefins, naphthenes, and aromatics) as well as additives such as antioxidants and metal deactivators, and impurities. Principal components include n-octane and isooctane. Like other fuels, blends of Aviation fuel are often described by their...
