Case Study: Ancol Corporation
Identify problems The problem before Sim joined this company * The relationship between management and employee was strained. The problems after Sim joined this company (After the removal of time clocks) * A selected group of employees ( approximately around 5 %), started showing up late, leaving early or taking extended lunch breaks. * Due to the above mentioned problem, discontent crept into the remaining 95% of employee. * The increased absenteeism levels caused a noticeable impact on plant productivity. * Due to the lack of inter personal skills of the supervisors, the relationship between supervisors and the employees deteriorated. * The additional burden set on the supervisors made it difficult to complete their main duties. * The lack of time keeping affected the financial department negatively to penalize employees for reduced work hours. * Due to the continuous stacking of reprimand letters, the number of grievances doubled over six months in the labor union. * Additional financial burden of hiring new employment. * Owing to supervisors being overworked with administrative workloads, efficiency and productivity decreased.

Analyze the root causes
In our opinion, the root of all problems is the lack of imagination on Sim’s part. Due to the gap in his solution; removal of all time clocks from the plant, led to a lot of trouble such as the increased absenteeism level, less productivity, payroll’s problem, etc, as mentioned in the previous answers (Identify Problems). Consequently, it is not the proper way out in this case.
Propose & Evaluate some solutions
