...conversation he just had with Walter Jackson, an employee in the company's distribution warehouse. Jackson had complained that black employees were being passed over for promotions in favor of white employees who had less experience and seniority. Jackson had gone on to explain that he had resigned his position in the meat department of the warehouse because, despite his experience and job performance, he felt he would not get promoted. He explained that he had been passed over for promotion three times since he started work with Food Chain. After Jackson left his office, Rutherford immediately began to investigate his claims. He called in Mark Walters, his personnel assistant, and explained to him the conversation he'd just had with Jackson. "The last thing I want on my hands is a discrimination suit," Rutherford told Mark. "I want you to get some data on promotions that have occurred in the last couple of years in our warehouse operations. Also, while you're at it, get the same information for our stores. Also, here are the names of three black employees given to me by Jackson. Pull their files and try to get any facts on what happened with their promotion requests." Mark replied, "I don't think it will be too difficult to pull together the information, Tom, now that we have finally gotten our personnel records centralized. But I'll probably have to talk with some of the department managers and supervisors also." Rutherford suggested that he also interview the three black employees...

The first tool of the functions in the management process is planning. It is the logical thinking through goals and making the decision as to what needs to be accomplished in order to reach the organizations' objectives. In a warehouse setting, planning begins with goal-setting, which means setting goals of the numbers trucks that are schedule to come in house and the number of trucks to go out. Each week planning the weight count so as to how many people would be use to load and unload trucks for each day is planned.

...been paid on previous jobs. George, after a brief visit with the HR director, was assigned to work the night shift. The night shift was from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM six nights a week (Sunday through Friday); the regular wages were paid, supplemented by 8 hours of guaranteed overtime each week. This implied that George would be able to save up a tidy sum of money during the summer. Eastern Diary manufactured milkshake and ice cream mix for a number of customers in the metropolitan area. The ice cream mix was sold in 5- and 10-gallon containers to other firms, which then added the flavoring ingredients, packaged and sold the ice cream under their own brand names. Their milkshake mix was sold in 5-gallon cardboard cartons, which contained plastic liner. Eastern Diary delivered these packages to various restaurants in the area. The design of the packaging enabled it to fit into automatic milkshake machines, used in many types of restaurants and drive-ins. The night shift consisted of a six-person crew of operators. Paul Burnham, a member of this crew, received each night`s production orders from the day shift superintendent as the superintendent left for the day. Paul`s status was no different from that of his five colleauges, but the other crew members looked to him for direction. Paul passed the production orders to the mixer and kept the production records for the shift. The production process at Eastern Diary was fairly simple. Mixes moved between various pieces of...

...Chapter 1 Inroduction Paint History Chapter 1 1.1 Paint History: Paint is one of the oldest synthetic substances known, with a history stretching back into prehistoric times. Prehistoric man made it more than 35,000 years ago as they mixed clays and chalks with animal fats and used these paints to depict their hunts on cave walls. By 2500BC, Egyptians had improved the technology by developing a clear blue pigment by grinding azurite, gums, wax and egg white as binders and solvents for their paints. Greeks learnt to blend paints with hot wax, rather than water, making paint both thicker and easier to spread. By this time, colours were available from natural and synthetic sources, one of the most interesting being a purple pigment made from heating yellow earth till it turned red and then plunging it into vinegar. In the eighteenth century, paint factories began to open in Europe and America, and by the nineteenth century, mass production had brought prices down where houses began to be painted. In the twentieth century, paint manufacturing and its function is widely understood especially from chemical point of view, meaning that paint manufacture has finally moved from being an art to being a science. 1.2 Paint Importance and Its Production: Paints are used for the protection and appearance enhancement of houses, buildings, cars, ships and many more. They are used as a safety feature to grab person attention like in lane markings on road and...

...Unit 1: Unit 1: Scientific Questions: Inquiry and Methods - Discussion What’s in the can? One afternoon, while finishing up your shift as the stock manager at Circus Supermarket, the store manager tells you that he desperately needs some help with an inventory problem. In the back of the store, he shows you an unmarked, unopened tin can and explains that the owners of the store are threatening to fire him and all his staff if they cannot keep track of the items that they sell. There are no inventory records to trace the origin of the can, so he asks you, the stock manager, to help him figure out what is inside. Unit 1: Unit 1: Scientific Questions: Inquiry and Methods - Discussion What’s in the can? My First question would be what type of warehouse was it, in what isle of the warehouse was the can found, what other cans surrounded the can if any. Were any of the cans in the isle similar looking to the one in question, if not what objects or labeling, or postings were found on the shelf surrounding the can in question. What is the shape of the can, is it in the shape of a cylinder, round, or square etc. etc. Even though there are no shipping documents of the origin of the can in question I would ask the manager for whatever shipping documents he has to see if something was missed and maybe trace what records there are and maybe see if this can came through with another shipment. I would ask my staff if they might remember anything though minute that might...
