1. The Case - Need a cure

Operations manager of the Cure Lanka Hospital (CLH) K.P John stood up after a long discussion with the HR manger Dayan Randeniya. “Well Dayan we will have to take this matter up seriously in the next management meeting. I need a solution, a permanent solution” Dayan agreed with waving the head from left to right with thin smile drawn across the face.

It was the weekly operational review meeting of CLH, meeting was preceded by the CEO, Sampath Devadithi. He is an ex-Air force officer. At the beginning of the meeting John requested permission to table a serious of issue. Mr. Deva, Kithsiri, the maintenance in-charge, is not controlling the maintenance staff. He pets the people; people do not come to work as arranged for shifts. They take leave change shifts as they wish. When I call explanation from the guy, he protects the people. What I see is we are not getting the work done, paying extra overtime to people. We need a solution to this problem.

Deva turned to the HR manager and looked at him. Dayan started. Well Deva, I and John had a chat on this issue. People are not complying with the new working arrangements. They are used to relax working pattern of previous management. They are practicing the same thing. However, this maintenance guy was recruited overriding my decision, and as per my opinion, he does not fit role. “Why do you say that Dayan?” asked the CEO. It’s my gut feeling Deva, I know that. I gained that out

Initially, David and his team proposed a new service focus that entailed being the first within the industry to expand their cleaning company by introducing an all-inclusive service. While this is a great opportunity for growth, a huge concern is that the current sales team at InterClean is not knowledgeable on the current sanitation regulations, based on legal and environmental requirements.

    Wengart Aircraft

    • 881 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The one of the macro problems Wengart Aircraft is having is that they are the second largest company in the industry but are only ranked sixth in profitability (Brown, 2011). Wengart gets a large amount of contracts but they are spending a lot of money reworking most of the aircrafts after they come off of the production line. Another problem is the quality of their aircrafts is in question with the Secretary of Defense and other private customers. The Secretary of Defense has gone as far to say if there is not an improvement in quality they will start holding portions of their payments as penalties. This would not be good because Wengart is already struggling to make profits due to the poor quality of work. In order to fix these problems Ralph Larsen the president of Wengart has brought in an organization development practitioner to help him understand the TQM that the Department of Defense wants him to implement. This leads to the biggest problem Wengart is facing because after the practitioner makes his points, Larsen thinks that the TQM is common sense and that Wengart is already doing most of the points. Larsen than calls a meeting of his vice presidents and put Kent Kelly in charge of the program, even after one of the vice presidents suggested Larsen be in charge of the program because the TQM should be a joint project meaning the human resources and production departments work together. Larsen however did not feel that he had the time to be in charge of the program because he wanted to concentrate his efforts to increasing profits. After the meeting Kelly sends a memo to Allan Yoshida explaining the TQM program, with that information Yoshida calls a meeting of manager and line supervisors to give them the details of the TQM program. Yoshida than went and email all employees an outline of the TQM plan and told them to ask their managers or supervisor for more details if they had questions. After that rumors began to…

    Problem management is the process of addressing potential problem and at the same time solving the problem when it is necessary (Rouse, p.1, 2008). The CFO of Interwest’s Sing did address the problem, but he actually does not know how to solve the problem. Another major problem of Interwest is lack of a good relationship between employees from top to lower levels. It seems all employees are hardly meeting with the CEO and CFO when only the problem arises. Moreover, Organizational managers are the responsible for attaining all organizational goals; but, when they abstain from doing their tasks, company’s productivity goes down. The main product of healthcare institute is service; but, Mr. Sing is never dedicated to providing better service to patients (Brickley, Smith, & Zimmerman, p. 38, 2009). As a result, employees get demotivated from the high officials and did careless work on their work. Furthermore, the absence of proper planning with respect to implement accurate information system is another source of the problem. Interwest might have faced out of…

    This assignment is based on a previous organisation where I worked in a large National healthcare Organisation in the UK which was on the verge of closing down after many years of over-spending, weak performance and quality. A turnaround team was sent in, along with a range of consultants and advisers to try and improved the situation. A number of Chief Executive officers (CEO) were brought in one after the other, by the Department of Health but leaving only after a few months in post, of which performance get even worst and finances only a little better.

Staffs complained that there was an over-focus on finances; the blame culture was getting worse. Staff and patient surveys showed major problems with moral and communication. A new, female CEO was brought in and she began implementing a change management and cultural changes.…

    The problem stems from issues of competency and communication. Essentially, there should have been an open solution from the beginning. Simard did not have the insight to understand the situation he was placed in. The new manager should have tried to understand why relations between employees and management were strained in the first place. He then could move to understand the needs of the management and workers to develop a solution that would benefit the whole factory. Rather than instantly implementing the removal of time clocks that he had learnt from the seminar, Simard should have carefully analyzed the situation and what consequences this policy could have on the factory. Simard could have researched and inquired about such methods and perhaps learnt the consequences from the instance at the B.C. factory.…
