...KFF Problem Statement Kudler Fine Foods (KFF) was established in 1998 when Kathy Kudler fulfilled her vision of establishing her own gourmet food store. Her passion for gourmet food enabled her to research the neighborhood as well as the product assortment mix that should be offered. Since 1998, Kathy has expanded KFF from one store to three stores and has plans to continue with expansion efforts throughout California as well as outside of California. The long-term vision of KFF is to become the premier gourmet grocery store for shoppers interested in purchasing the finest imported and domestic bakery, meats, produce, cheeses, and wines (University of Phoenix, 2008). Kathy has several opportunities that needs to be addressed within her organization before this goal may be realized. She must hire more personnel; empower the people currently in position to do their jobs, and she must remain relevant to the customers. As identified within the Strength Weakness Opportunity and Threat (SWOT) Analysis performed on the company, there are several opportunities that Kathy is currently facings, one of which is operations management within the stores (University of Phoenix, 2003, p. 8). Initially, Kathy took responsibility for majority of the operations management decisions within the La Jolla store. As she has expanded to the Del Mar and Encinitas store locations, not much has changed. Although she has a larger staff and more stores, Kathy has not delegated effectively the tasks that...
