...1.0 Introduction Armco Inc. is a steel manufacturer that used to be the sixth largest in its industry in US (in 1990). The Kansas City Works within its Midwestern Steel Division was hit by the decline in the business in the US steel industry despite its good performance in the past. Consequently, it downsized and incurred significant losses in most of the 1980s. This entity produces two primary products including grinding media and carbon wire rod, one being recognized in the industry for its durability while the later being non profitable and only covering some of its fixed costs through volume. 2.0 What’s wrong with the old system? (a) Inconsistency with organization’s strategy The Objective of Armco Inc. is maximizing profits and sustaining its position among the leaders in the US manufacturing steel industry. To achieve this objective, Armco has adopted a cost leadership strategy with a broad appeal and has managed to grow bigger through joint ventures and expansion of its product lines in implementing its strategy. However, the strategy adopted by the Kansas City Works is based on differentiation due to its cost disadvantages such as union labor costs and inefficient plant infrastructure.Union labor costs in Kansas City were higher than those of some of its nonunion competitors, particularly those located in the Southeastern U.S. and non-U.S. locations. The Works had an inefficient plant infrastructure because the plant was designed to accommodate five times as many employees...

...financial, at each business unit so that: a) Each business unit's goal will be more congruent with the company's goal b) Top management will be able to make more sound decisions if corporate staff will have access to unbiased information c) Corporate will have better control of the information reported to top management in order to avoid sugar coating of the financial information and operating statistics d) Corporate will have better and quicker response on red flag information on each business unit (for example, a business unit that overspent on marketing expenses instead of previsional budget) We believe that this philosophy can be a real strong asset for the company because it enables producing reliable reports for each division and data statistical budget. We believe that the organizational philosophy used by Martex is a key effective factor for the company as it enables to produce fair and objective reports on division budgets, financial statements and operating statistics. We think that it would be difficult and costly for Rendell to implement this philosophy because workers are accustomed to work another way. They might feel over watched and decrease the level of trust even within a team. It could lead to a bad working...

...grinding media department. Kansas City Works was however not a low cost manufacturer. Each center consisted on one or more cost centers. The cost performance measurement used mainly was a summary measure called “Cost Above”. By using Cost Above measurement, manufacturing managers received an Operating Statistics Report. The Operating Statistics Report’s out gave managers five-year history, monthly and year-to-date actuals, monthly and year-to-date objectives, and variances. This report provided the same information that was used for financial reporting and inventory valuations purposes so when the manager’s familiar report was eliminated they became upset. The Director of Finance, Bob Nenni, implemented a new system in 1991 which he believed would create two major improvements. He believed the new system would help the managers focus to be on few key objectives and improve the basis for evaluation of managers. One of the main change for managers was the elimination of the Cost Above measure, this meant that the production managers were no longer accountable for the costs incurred in their areas. With the new system, the Operating Statistics Report was eliminated. The new reports that were...

...Defects Failed to be Reported by Honda Honda failed to report 1,729 incidents where the deployment of an air bag in one of its vehicles caused an injury or death. Honda blames the failure on “inadvertent” data entry and computer programming errors. Too, Honda said an independent audit of its records between 2003 and 2014 discovered and failure to provide an accurate incident reports to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The issue at hand is the Takata air bag that NHTSA says has been installed in at least 5 million Hondas, as well as millions of vehicles made by other major auto manufacturers worldwide. Statistic reports at least five people have died and many were injured when Takata air bags sprayed them with shrapnel when they deployed during crashes. Honda, Takata’s biggest customer, has recalled 6.2 million cars with Takata air bags worldwide, and 4.1 million in humid regions of the United States. Instead of reporting all 2,873 claims of air-bag malfunctions over the 11-year period, the audit found that Honda told NHTSA only about claims that had been denied. The 1,729 it failed to report were those it paid and counted as warranty claims. One of the incidents involved a death. Takata has resisted the call for a nationwide recall, suggesting it should focus on more humid regions where replacement air bags are most needed. If the recall goes nationwide, it will be one of the largest in U.S. automotive history. Takata air bags are installed in 1...

...incidents not consistent with the routine operations of the hospital or the routine care of a particular patient are reported to the quality management department so that immediate attention and responses can be given to individual occurrences. Statistics can then be derived from the collective number of incidents reported and will serve as a basis for adverse patient trends, patient safety issues, or other risks and hazards to be identified, and risk reduction programs implemented. In order to promote a culture that promotes patient safety, the hospital’s Incident Reporting Policy is based upon a foundation of nonpunitive approach to incident/occurrence reporting. The hospital leadership will encourage open and honest reporting of injuries and hazards to patients, visitors and staff, this process will be nonpunitive in nature for all persons reporting incidents throughout the organization. Incidence/occurrence investigations will be viewed as an opportunity for education/process improvement, and will focus on processes and systems, rather than human error. Disciplinary action will be limited to only those employees who engage in willful or malicious misconduct, or those occurrences in which the employee failed to report an incident or hazard to patients in a timely manner. II. Responsibility A. All hospital employees, medical staff members, volunteers, and contract service members will participate in the hospital-wide incident...

...9 Formal Reports and Proposals he distinctions between formal and informal reports are often blurred. Nevertheless, a formal report is usually written to someone in another company or organization. Occasionally it is written for a senior manager in the same company, or for someone with whom the writer has little regular contact. Usually it is longer than an informal report and requires more extensive research. Unless you are a consultant, you are unlikely to be asked to write a formal report often. When you are, there may be a lot riding on it— including your reputation. The purpose of this chapter is to show you how to write a formal report and how to put together the kind of proposal that often precedes it. As Figure 9-1 shows, many of the elements of formal reports are the same as those for informal ones.You need to pay the same attention to headings, lists, and illustrations, for example. Although much of the advice in the previous chapter could be duplicated in this one, the emphasis here will be on those areas where there’s a difference.
