Acme Manufacturing Company

Introduction:
The case of Acme Manufacturing Company is about a production manager who is basically lost his control over his time management. Because of that he did lots of mistakes in his daily professional life. Before we understand the whole case, we have to know all the character belongs to this case. So I tried to list out all the character below:

* Steve Arnold: Production Manager & theme person of the case. * George Summers: Steve Arnold’s Friend. * Ruth Sweeney: Steve Arnold’s Secretary. * Frank Jones: Vice President of Production & Steve Arnold’s Boss. * Sue Bradley: Vice President of Sales. * Lucy Adams: Production Supervisor. * Paul Chen: Production Supervisor. * Glenda Brown: Assistant Manager. * Mr. Ferris: Material Supplier of the Production.

Some Specific Things Steve did wrong:

* Spend too many times for the Monthly production Report in night. As a result, he has to oversleep. * It is important for any job to be present in office as early as possible. But Steve did the reverse. Every single minute has some value but he late 45 minutes. * As Steve is late, he has no time. But he stopped in the shipping area by seeing his friend George Summers. It is not the right time to ask about the friend’s family. * He misplaced the valuable memo which will be announced in the meeting. * Sue Bradley, the Vice President of Sales give some task to Steve of a rush order for one of the company’s important client. But he delegates that task to someone else. * He found the lost memo just before the meeting. As a result, he could not study enough about the agenda of the meeting. So, he failed to contribute to the meeting. * He failed to understand the priority of the task. That why, he was busy with the Monthly production Report. But he forgot to prepare the quality data which has been asked by the Frank Jones who is the Vice

    Baxter Manufacturing Company (BMC) is a family founded company. Started by Walter R. Baxter in 1978, the 140,000-square foot manufacturing facility is headquartered in the Midwest in the United States. Walter Baxter’s children work for BMC, Kyle Baxter is the President and his sister Sue Barkly is Vice President of customer relations. BMC is recognized as a world class supplier of tools, dies and deep-drawn stamping; serving customers such as: General Motors, Ford, Whirlpool, and General Electric. Baxter holds a strong market position and has maintained a 20% growth each of the nineteen years in business. In the 1980s business trends move to a Just-In-Time (JIT) system, this would streamline traditional business proving to be a faster more efficient way for customers to correspond with suppliers. BMC converted to electronic data interchange (EDI), which allows customers to place orders electronically. EDI works well for many companies; however, BMC has not upgraded their internal computer systems requiring personal to manually print out orders and re-key information. In the past BMC has turned away business because they met capacity limits therefore not able to retain more business. In 1989 BMC hired Nancy Shaw to lead and educate the IS department, as the manager of IS Shaw’s mission was to upgrade BMC’s hardware and software by outsourcing to vendors. After two failed attempts to upgrade the internal computer system Shaw resigned and was replaced by Don Collins. Collins has experience as being a manager of Information Systems, he quickly recognized that BMC’s computer system will become obsolete in a few years. By 1996 Collins proposed a plan to upgrade the system using the current MIS department to build and install a manufacturing system tailored to BMC’s needs in approximately two years. The same year Lucas Moore, Vice President of manufacturing, proposed a plan for BMC to purchase an integrated manufacturing software package. Moore is…

    Accounting Memo

    • 379 Words
    • 2 Pages

    A shorter memo should have been developed instead of providing defintions and examples of things that were needed. If a meeting was going to happen in regards to the memo, the task at hand is the only thing that should be discussed. Once the meeting occurred examples and other information could be provided to all those in attendance. As well the memo should not start off with “We need to get together later on this week” but instead it should be clear the date, time and location for the meeting. A brief description of what is needed and who needs it is necessary but the reason for the task is not needed; if the memo comes across the wrong hands unnecessary information can be passed on to staff that do not need to be aware of the situation at time. In this situation the company may be experiencing some financial issues and seeing this memo can cause unnecessary panic among staff if seen by the wrong individual. If a brief description is provided all addressees can work on getting the information together to present at the meeting.…
