Background research

The current problem at the work place is related to printer facilities available to all members of the secretarial team. The problems currently being experienced is that of printer data capacity, availability, data storage, security, memory capacity and that of the printer needing repair frequently, These problems faced are probably due to the amount of jobs sent to the printer. The printer currently in place is not suitable for the amount of documents that are sent to it for printing. On some occasions data that has been sent to the printer has been lost for unknown reasons and the printer jams on several occasions therefore, the maintenance team of canon have to be called out to resolve these issues and this has a financial impact as there is a call out fee attached to this. Time is a big issue as there are increased queues of staff members waiting to print out from their inboxes. In respect of time staff members have strict deadlines which have to be followed to provide a service to the managers, the service users and external providers. Another issue is the amount of toner cartridges that have been used it has risen over the recent months due to another directorate joining the secretarial teams printer.

Currently at the workplace there are 20 secretaries connected to 1 printer. The current printer in place at the workplace is the Canon iR 3245N which the secretarial team feel is not suitable for the amount of documents and jobs sent to the printer on a working day. 4 specialities are connected to the printer and these specialities include 20 secretaries which are connected to the printer. Also 20 consultant surgeons are connected to the printer an external directorate which totals the number of users to 60 that are connected to this printer.

    "I don't know who designed our old network or what they were thinking. You see, my job is to support the faculty in the building and to fix minor network issues. Well, we often have major issues in our building, and I'm hoping that you can make things better. Printing is a really problematic area for us. You see, we have over 50 networked printers in this building. Although we do need the printers, we need some way to consolidate the management of print jobs, as the queues on these printers often are filled. We also need to navigate to each printer individually to clear them. There has to be a better way because this is ridiculous. Collisions have become a problem for us as well since we started to add new computers a few years ago.

    In order to calculate the yearly investment in DeskJet printers, we calculate the yearly investment of the printers separately and then add them together to get the total yearly cost. There are 6 versions of the printers, which are A, AA, AB, AQ, AU, AY. The total factory throughput time through the PCAT and FAT stages is about one week. The transportation time from Vancouver to the European DC is five weeks. The plant sends a weekly shipment of printers to Europe. Therefore, the lead time is L=1+5=6 weeks and review time T=1 week. Based on the data in Exhibit 13.14 in the textbook, we use Excel to calculate the average monthly demand (mean) and the standard deviation for each version of the printers (Exhibit 1).…

    Jack Nelson's Problem

    Assignment 1: Case Study, Jack Nelson’s Problem 1. a) What do you think is causing some of the problems in the bank’s home office? 1. Ruth Johnson who has been working at the bank’s head office for last two months did not know what the machine she is using is called or what is does. That shows that the bank did not give her sufficient training to familiarize herself with the name and the function of the machine. However, she did know how the machine works, but this doesn’t mean that she has been trained properly. A huge problem in the bank’s home office is the lack of a proper Training program. It can be an in-house training program especially designed for the new employees at the bank or a practical on-the-job training program. This will give new employees the change to practice, observe others, ask questions, learn from mistakes and familiarize themselves with the equipment that they are using. It is very important for the bank to utilize its available resources. In this case the supervisor could have given her proper, on-the-job training and informed and familiarized her with the name and function of the machine that she operates. 2. There is also mayor lack of communication in the bank’s home office. Ruth has been working there for almost two months and nobody has briefed or informed her on the name and function of the machine that she is using. The fact that Ruth’s supervisor or her colleagues did not notice that she does not know the function or name of the machine after she is has been using it for two months is worrying. It shows that there is very little interaction and communication between employees, supervisors and managers at the bank’s home office. Communication and interaction between employees are very important. It keep all employees informed, motivated and make them feel valued. In Ruth’s case communication and interaction between the supervisors and employees can be improved by starting a Trainee Performance Appraisal program. This would help…
