...of gas such as pipes, meters, and fittings as well as other various materials. The supply organization falls directly under the vice-president for operations. II. Major Problem Fauquier Gas Company is slated to begin a new project to turn an area once used for agricultural work into a residential and commercial property. This means that new gas lines must be installed. In January, Mr. Murphy overheard Mr. Byers, the project manager, discussing the requirement to add 3.5 miles of new gas lines slated to begin in June with an estimated completion date of September (3 Months). Having worked with the procurement of gas lines before, Mr. Murphy knew that the mills needed substantial lead times in order to accommodate Fauquier Gas Company's timeline. Mr. Byers advised Mr. Murphy the purchase request would be sent as soon as the design engineer was finished with the specifications and the project engineer approved it, both work areas fall under the vice-president of operations. When Mr. Murphy contacted Pat Wilson, the design engineer, he learned that the specifications of the pipes being ordered were changing from past orders. Instead of 3/8" wall thickness they were drawn at 3/4". This was done because the operation of the line would be governed by less stringent specification. The length of the pipes was also extended from 40'(+/-5') to 57' in order to reduce cost of welding. Lastly, the wrapping has yet to be determined which is supplied by the mill. As of April 14th, the purchase...

...Setting a few short-term goals helps one to successfully achieve a long-term goal. A person aligning his or her long-term goals to their personal values will possess the fortitude and yearning to reach those goals. If one considers their personal values when establishing long-term goals, they are more inclined to be self-motivated in reaching that goal. Someone striving to fulfill their long-term ambition will do so with immense willpower and constant effort. Some strategies used to help one prioritize short-term goals include: values, personal situation, and time commitments (Keys to College Studying: Becoming an Active Thinker). When establishing the goals that should take top priority, one’s values are a key factor. Including one’s current personal situation and previously established time commitments will also help to prioritize which goals should take precedence. In order to maintain the focus necessary to achieve goals, one should take several steps. The first step is to devise and plan out various strategies that will help achieve the goal. The second step is to create a sensible timeline that clearly defines deadlines for each component of the goal. Third, keeping track of the progress and comparing that with the timeline will help determine if the goal is realistic and on schedule. The fourth step includes holding...

...implementation phase, monitoring and controlling phase, and the termination or closing phase. In the initiation phase the project is scrutinized and a decision is made on which project to pursue. We have completed this phase and after doing a cost analysis, feasibility study, and ROI we have decided that the Palomino project is the most efficient project to pursue. The estimated timeline for this particular project is 9 months to completion and a cost factor of $655,000.00. The cost is higher than the Juniper and Stargazer project but the lifespan of the product is longer than the Juniper project and the same as the Stargazer. The Stargazer project has the greatest potential for ROI but when compared over a three year period the Palomino gives the largest ROI. The next problem with the Stargazer is the risk factor for project completion which is too high to consider. The second phase of the project is the planning phase where jobs are decided and a timeline is established. The plan is the roadmap for the project while the actual project timelines may vary from the plan as problems arise. By establishing clearly communicated...

He was especially interested in conveying the hints of seasons and times of day in his paintings. In this particular painting Old Trees, Level Distance, it looks as if the painting was done for a fellow government official the night before he retires.

To accomplish the above listed objectives, they strategies the students have chosen are: 1) Establishing a Joint Venture 2) Current profit maximisation 3) Market-Share Leadership To choose Market Skimming Pricing or Price skimming, for current profit maximisation, Houzit Home wares is in a position to ‘skim’ revenues layer by layer from the market. In order to achieve the sales of an extra $5 million from the market, Howzat Home wares can use this strategy to achieve its goals of maximising profit. For example, by discounting a particular products price-instead of advertising outside and lose money, by marketing to the loyalty program customers (txt, e-mail, snail mail etc.), Howzat Home wares can get these customers to come into the store and probably make another purchase, not just the discounted product. This strategy could in-turn increase the customer loyalty program and bring more customers...

...creating a realistic, detailed plan of action for meeting those goals. It is kind of like writing a business plan, a management plan takes into consideration short and long term corporate strategies. Some basic steps in the management planning process involves creating a road map that outlines each task the company must accomplish to meet its overall objectives. There are seven very important management planning process steps I am going to talk a little bit in depth about. The first step in the management planning process is establishing goals. In planning you have to identify specific company goals. The part of the planning process should include a detail overview of each goal, including the reason for its selection and the anticipated outcomes of goal related projects. Anywhere there are possible objectives should be described in quantitative or qualitative terms. For example, a goal is to raise profits by ten percent over a four month period. Establishing goals is a good way to help any organization see their hard pay off. The second step is to identify organizational resources that will be beneficial to them for help and advice. Each goal should have financial and human resources projection associated with its completion. For example, a management plan may identify how many sales people it will require and how much it will cost to meet the goal of increasing their sales by ten percent in over a four month time period. The third step is to establish goal related tasks. Each...

...believe there are certain aspects of Eric’s actions that directly affected the progress of the team. In addition, we recommend a series of steps that Eric should take to improve their progress. To give a little background information, Fire Art Inc. is in trouble and the CEO, Jack Derry, has hired Eric Holt with the solitary task of “strategic repositioning”. Eric Holt goes full speed ahead with this directive and forms a team. This, as the reader can identify, is where the first issue arises. To begin with, as the team began working, there was no clear goal(s) set for them. Instead of clearly defining the actions that the team must take to reach success, a vague task of “strategic repositioning” is identified as the plan. Furthermore, no timeline for intermediate deliverables seems to have been set. Setting a clear schedule of what the team must accomplish would have helped with timely decision making. The first problem we identified is the lack of clear group identity, definition and accountability. A team that doesn’t live by a sense of collective accountability in actively solving problems is only a group of individuals, not a team. One can draw an analogy to a football team or an ox-drawn plow when defining the characteristics of a team. A team is like the ox or football players. They are equally yoked toward one goal and must perform their function correctly in order to make progress. An important criteria that distinguishes strong teams from their inferiors is the ability...

...they will accept for their academic success. Although academic success may come easily to some students, each student is responsible for their level of success because we each own the choices we make and the consequences of every action we take. As we set out into the realm of academia, we first have to establish our goals. These goals will be a measure of how we perceive our progress and success. From the time we were young, our parent had aspirations of what they felt we could do or accomplish in our lives. Often times, these imposed goals were met by resistance from us as we had other desires. This is where we started taking the reins to our personal goals. We were also accepting the responsibility for the goals we set. When establishing these goals many subscribe to the acronym SMART. Meaning these goals are specific, measurable, achievable, results-focused, and time bound. Goals should be taken a step further. Make your goals emotionally connected and sensory dependent. When you visualize your goals, include as much of all five senses as possible to make the visualization as real as possible. (Hume, 2011) To achieve academic success requires us to first envision our long term goals. These will be our measure of success in academics. Some feel that they will have succeeded in academics by achieving an Associate’s degree while others will aspire to a Doctorate. It is important to be able to envision what that end goal...
