...evaluate each bid was needed. A Weighted Evaluation System was chosen. Four factors were used to evaluate the bids. They are: Performance & Quality, Service, Price (total cost of purchase determines the pricing factor) and Financing. By applying a value to each, a better evaluation of the bids can be made. Performance & Quality was perceived to be of utmost importance to the point where the success of the project depended on it. This was given a high value of 40 with the other three taking 20 each for a total of 100. The Merakuri bid scored the highest with 85 followed by Pnutype with 70 and Jabaking with 60. Jabaking is the current supplier of our presses which came about as a result of a favour from the owners. Platinum Box has always felt indebted to Jabaking and may feel some loyalty as a result but the inability of their current presses to meet the quality specification put forward has dismissed them as supplier at this time. Also the union presence is strong at Jabaking which could result in a union push towards Platinum Box if they were chosen as the supplier. The new technology used by Pnutype has a high risk attached. It has a very short track record and the technology should be better proven before it can be adopted by Platinum Box. This leaves Merakuri as the preferred vendor with its acceptable product quality, highest production...

...know the current culture of the company as well as some semblance of the company’s current power structure. The conversation will also touch base with the current status of the company profitability wise. There will be no comments towards any existing practices during the first meeting so as to not put any of the three VPs in a defensive mood. * An introductory of who I am and my credentials (as per CV). I would tell them that I have read their respective CVs as well and that from my understanding they are highly capable individuals for their respective tasks. This should set the tone of the meeting at equal footing, letting them feel that I have taken the time to know who they are as professionals. * I would then continue by asking them about what type of culture will I expect to find within the organization, highlighting the fact that this is what was built by the former CEO. The aim here is to make them feel proud talking about the existing culture so as to draw as much information as possible. This should also draw out any routines or work activities that they used to do with the former CEO. I will be anticipating that they will give good points and comments regarding what culture they have for they were part of the management that built it. * I will move forward from here by asking them if they think the current culture is consistent with company long term goals. This should get me a background on what their understanding of the company’s current strategy...

...Recommend and Implement a New Maintenance Ticketing Process Comcast South Florida has recently launched its new Customer Guarantee program that guarantees the work and services performed for 30 days or the consumer is able to receive several different packages as compensation. Recently the organization has changed its ticketing process when referring jobs to the Maintenance / Engineering Department and has asked my local leadership team to review and revamp the new process. This proposal provides a brief overview of the current process including its intricacies and outlines how we will perform our research and testing in preparation for our full report. Problem The newly revised Maintenance / Engineering ticketing system (also known as the - refer to maintenance) was intended to streamline the process and reduce downtime. Unfortunately, this revised ticketing process resides within its own system (TTS and Watchtower) and does not communicate with the current billing system (CSG), work order system or the call center. This has caused unnecessary additional down time for customers if their issues were not resolved the 1st time, financial loss from the company’s perspective and an inconvenienced customer. We need to identify a methodology that will allow the new ticketing system to communicate to the traditional billing system and all cross-functional areas. Justification/Feasibility With the new addition of Watchtower and TTS maintaining and issuing maintenance ticket numbers...

...Shuttle GPS APP System currently being used. 2) Symptoms of Problems: As of right now, the GPS system takes a while to update itself and students are often confused the exact location of Shuttle. This often causes students to be delay to class or meeting. 3) Current Practice and Supporting Systems The current shuttle system obtains a certain route for the AM and PM shift. Students often check an App on their cell phones and online called Transloc transit visualization. This app is supposed to allow students to view the Stevens Shuttle on real time location. The location of shuttle often freezes on map location and it can take up to 10 minutes to show real time vehicle location. With the rate of location delay, students can’t really tell the shuttle’s current location once the location of vehicle is moved on the map. The Shuttle does not normally wait more than one minute after arrival on each destination. Once everyone is dropped off the shuttle normally takes off if they see no one around. If the App decides to freeze at that moment, students might just have to walk to their destination or wait for another Shuttle which can take up to 15-20 minutes. 4) Summary of Deficiencies with Current Practice and Products Systems a) Students are often confused to how long the shuttle will take to arrive at their pick up location. b) Students often leave campus on foot very late at night due to organization planning or meetings and it can get dangerous...
