    Kudler Fine Foods Organizational Structure

    Kudler Fine Foods has a fairly flat organization structure. Each area of the store has employees who specialize in their area; additionally there is support staff for stocking, checking, and customer service. The flat structure simply allows for communication continuity. The communication of sales, trends or lack of sales and trends help guides the firm’s strategic planning initiatives. The less management structure nurtures an environment that promotes an organizational culture of creativeness and ideas for the specialty foods within the firm. Direct contact from the specialist to the owner cuts out the extra layer of people, whom could decrease the differentiation via lack of specialty knowledge of the products. The owner has a small high level management team; the owner depends on the area specialist to be constructively involved with the success of the…

    Wal-Mart's Smart Inventory System

    After extensive last minute digging, I finally found a manager who trusted me enough to supply me with the name of the inventory system that is used. Unfortunately for me this is all I could uncover from my employer, but it is a start. Wal-Mart uses the SMART system. Because of the way it is spelled I can only assume that it is an acronym. I have been searching for over an hour on Google.com and finally produced some meager results, but here they are.…

    Kudler Fine Foods - Accounting System

    In businesses today, it is imperative that the accounting system be tied into every aspect of a business and integrated within all of the information systems in use. Therefore, before any system is updated or changed, the accounting system must be considered and analyzed for compatibility and integration. Kudler Fine Foods hired a consulting firm to “assist in the selection and installation of a comprehensive Retail Enterprise Management System (REMS)”, according to the Kudler Fine Foods intranet. REMS is a modular system which contains a General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Point of Sale, Bank Reconciliation, and Asset Management and Accounting modules. To save money, the Asset Management and Accounting module was not purchased since the stores are all on long term leases and the remaining assets can be “controlled and amortized” by using spreadsheets.…

    It510 Final Project

    There are several techniques used in the documentation process. As a system analyst I would propose to the members of this group a straightforward standardized approach. A reasonable suggestion for this project would be to use the Procedure Manual technique for documenting this system. The Procedure Manuals will provide instructions on how to operate and understand how the system works. These manuals are also used as a guide that can be updated at different intervals for future users. Procedure Manuals are also made available to users via the Web. This new approach has made it convenient for users to seek support in a much faster way by offering a FAQ page, and online chat (Kendall & Kendall, 2011). In addition it is also a great tool for future analyst.…
