...Hells Kitchen Application Describe the communication environment for each team below: The red team displays hostile environment with a lack of communications in different aspects. There is a lack of trust and it shows by members commanding them to do something. If a member does try to communicate they get put down or yelled at. It is a blame game on the red team and they all act as individuals rather than a team. If a team member makes a mistake, then the team goes into attack mode on that individual and takes over that job. Blue team has a much more positive environment. They trust one another to do the job at hand and make sure that they are keeping up on information by giving updates regularly. If a member throws out a time to do something, they either agree or suggest a new one and the team jumps on board. There are mistakes on blue team, but they put their best effort into helping that individual do better. Which team, would you argue is more cohesive at this point in the game? What are the indications of the group’s cohesiveness? Provide examples of confirming and disconfirming responses as one way to support your argument. The blue team is much more cohesive by this point in the game. You can tell they are cohesive just by the volume of their interactions. There is never yelling or shouting to another team member. They speak to one another as equals and don’t show signs of superiority. The confirming response I remember is when blue team was...

...From 1998 until 2007, save for a brief hiatus (I temporarily left the company in search of greener pastures), I worked for a software/technology firm. I was a dedicated employee with a strong work ethic and committed my time, appropriately, to my responsibilities. I was both well known and well respected. Being the only employee in the company history to ever be rehired after a short hiatus definitely supported this claim. In 2005, a new manager was hired to oversee our team. At first, everybody seemed to like him real well. He was charismatic, approachable, knowledgeable, and, above all, willing to jump in and get his hands dirty, a trait that no previous manager had ever possessed! He seemed to be really interested in each of us, regularly engaging us in conversation and, seemingly, expressing a real interest in both our personal and professional lives. One thing in particular that he did really well was to boost team morale. He accomplished this in many different ways, but one of the more effective ways he did this was through developing these contests that had dual functions: (1) increase revenue, and (2) provide additional sources of income for the winning team member. As is to be expected, everyone was on board and it did indeed significantly increase morale on the sales floor. That is, until that fateful day in December of 2005, when he introduced the mother of all contests: Sell the most Upgrade Insurance (UI) and win a 42” Plasma TV, and—the real clincher—just in...

...Memo To: Michael Sachse From: Maya Staniucha Subject: Upgrading our Inventory System software Our inventory system has been an issue for several years, it seems to affect our job and puts a damper on our sales. I would like to bring to your attention that our warehouse runs on the same software as the inventory and we had to face some issues with the system we have today. Because of the computer system we have we could not account for all the inventory that is available on daily bases. It causes conflict with actual inventory is available in the warehouse versus what the inventory system actual states that inventory on hand and causes difficulty to sell the merchandise if unable to confirm its availability. By updating software we can better account for inventory that are incoming versus the one we have on hand. Due to the lack of communication our production is not at 100%. Investing in this software could bring up productivity of inventory , and aid our sales department with accurate information of the inventory. Further more, this software might cost the company money that is not in the budget but it will be retrieved by cutting down cost on hiring temporary warehouse employees to help us maintain the warehouse each time we get in house shipment. It also will help ship out merchandise faster to clients and cut cost in returned item that were sent out wrong. The program also lets us do a better job on making orders correct without having any issues in between. As I stated...

...Foods Services Distribution Center. One of the leading retail supply chain operation business in the United States. During my tour, directed by Mr. McCollum, the operation manager for the distribution center; I was able to see how products are received, stored, and built onto pallets that are shipped to grocery shops and restaurants. Since most of the questions could not be answered, I focused my information based on observation. The strength of this paper is based on the organization’s operation process and the quality. The Process The first thing I noticed when arriving at the site was, a numerous amount of machinery moving from different directions each carrying well-wrapped pallets of products. Our first stop was the inbound dock, the area where the company receives all new products for the dry department before they are placed into storage sections. The company also has a freezer, produce, and perishable departments. The process in the dry department seems to move faster because, this section of the warehouse is equipped with a witron’s OrderPicking Machinery; a highly automated system for selecting and palletizing cartons. Once products arrive, the receiving clerks process each product by comparing the quantity received versus the amount requested, register the expiration date for each case, assign a storage location, then assign barcode numbers to help track products once in the storage area. There is a large variety of products such as soft drinks, napkins...

Warehouse receipt (Warehousing is a regulated activity under APMC Laws and for commencement of warehousing activity in any location within a notified area, it is essential to obtain licenses from the APMC having jurisdiction over the respective market area.

He inspects the received stock, notes the details of products in the ledger. He...

...supplier with 20 distribution centers, 12 retailers and two paper merchant businesses. The items in the warehouse vary in shape, size and weight in order to manage the merchandise efficiently the company needs to come up with strategies to manage their inventory better as their current warehouses don’t have sufficient space to store all the merchandize efficiently. Their current warehouses are incompetent and have scarce resources such as lower ceilings, fewer docks, few elevators and the warehouses are not well equipped with technology. They have been unable to accommodate 21st century supply chain function due to obsolete warehousing operations and space constraints that could potentially obstruct their future sales growth. Supporting Evidence: The division faced inadequacies in serving $33 million in sales from this warehouse. The main warehouse was built in 1950’s before establishment of trailers and trucks. It had weak ceiling and no mechanized material handling equipment. According to surveys service was the second most important in deciding upon an office supply vendor, defined by most as 24- hour delivery and at least a 90% fill rate. This warehouse was not only facing challenges to meet the present customer needs alone, but also warehouse capacity constraints. Warehouse at Carpenter Street had only two docks, two forklifts and weak floors. It was shedding layers of paint, plaster and dirt on workers. The warehouses had weak floors due to which handling and stocking of...
