A company's inventory is a vital part towards its success. A company must have enough products in the inventory, to provide their customers with product in order to be successful. This affects a company's OMM operations because without the proper amount and type of inventory they will be unable to service their customers. The same goes for having too much inventory, when a company has too much inventory on hand it ties up its capital that could be spent on other things that would increase
Human error is the one of the greater risk and threats in most organizations. No one group can completely control a person’s behavior. For this reason it is important to be prepared to mitigate behaviors of malicious users, untrained users, and careless users. The number one way to reduce user errors is to train users. Once a month, Richman Investments will have a required featured training meeting with our company users to ensure the security of Richman Investments network.
We will gain significant operational efficiencies in this manner. Attempting to staff all these positions as employees would require significant resources to provided services that are not core to our business. These services, because we do not consume these services consistently or in large quantities, are significantly more costly than if we procure the services from a company that specializes in the required services as the services are needed. Specializing on the company's "core competencies" has provided cost savings and other operational efficiencies for both us and our business
If the company has low skilled employees than they will not be making the most out of their assets because there will be more wastage in production, this can result in an increase in the amount being able to provide to the public. If production levels fall then the company will make less money because they will not be able to see as much to the public as they could if they did have highly skilled workers. Therefore it is important to review the workforce plan constantly to understand when more highly skilled workers will be needed. External The fact that the current market has a global shortage of mining professionals does cause a problem to the company’s long term projects. This is because the company will need highly skilled workers to maximise production without a large range to choose from.
Exercise 15.2: Leadership Style Analysis In this exercise, there are three cases that require a leadership diagnosis using the Vroon-Jago model. After I’ve read the cases, these were my conclusions: In Case 1, I diagnosed this situation with the Autocratic and Consultative style because while I’m the vice president and I do have the final decision, the sales managers do have some input regarding certain situations. In Case 2, I chose the Delegative style because this is a huge manufacturing company and it would be impossible to be the sole decision maker in every single department. This is where the responsibilities would be delegated to the department managers and their subordinates. In Case 3, I chose the Consultative and Group style because while I do have the final decision in the changes to the different accounts, I was once part of the group of subordinates where it was difficult to get everyone committed to the same

While Human Capital and Oil might seem more important than replacement parts; should Huffman’s access to such parts be limited or eliminated, the wear and tear of their assets will eventually catch up to them and keep them from operating. Thus, these three resources are fundamental for Huffman’s success and all three are vulnerable to a disaster whether natural or manmade. The limitations attached to these three resources are complex. Human Capital for instance is limited to the number of employees that Huffman can keep in their payroll; while payroll is directly associated
PURPOSE OF A SWOT ANALYSIS 1 The Purpose of a SWOT Analysis Charles Anderson Joyner III Grantham University PURPOSE OF A SWOT ANALYSIS 2 Abstract Every business to include the largest ones that control their areas of industry--has a limited supply of manpower, production capacity and capital. Evaluating the company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats helps it determine how to allocate these resources in a manner that will result in the highest possible potential for revenue growth and profitability. The management team examines where the company can compete most effectively. The company more times than not discovers competitive strengths that have not been fully utilized in the past in addition to critical areas that needs to be improved in order for the business to more effectively compete. A realistic assessment also prevents strategic blunders like entering a market with products that are clearly inferior to what well-entrenched competitors are offering.
* Global strategy tries to sell a product in most markets with hardly any modification * Transnational Strategy aims to reach maximum local responsiveness when at the same time achieving worldwide economies of scale. * Groups of companies that pool their resources are called ‘Networks’. They do so in various ways. Resources are pooled from interlinked suppliers, which each are individually specialized in a particular component. These particular networks can be split into three individual forms: * One dominant company that ‘leads’ the other subcontractors * In a ‘Cluster’ there is no dominant company as every process of manufacturing is so complicated.
Dispersed teams can actually outperform groups that are colocated. To succeed, however, virtual collaboration must be managed in specific ways. TEAMS ARE THE typical building blocks of an organization: They provide companies with the means to combine the various skills, talents and perspectives of a group of individuals to achieve corporate goals. In the past, managers used to colocate team members because of the high levels of interdependencies that are inherent in group work. Recently, though, more and more companies are beginning to organize projects over distance, with teams increasingly consisting of people who are based in dispersed geographical locations, come from different cultural backgrounds, speak different languages and were raised in different countries with different value systems.
