...Problem Statement for Kudler Fine Foods Kudler Fine Foods, a gourmet food grocery store locted in California is expereincing expansion within the company. Although Kudler Fine Foods has had success within the company, there are several issues that need be addressed before they become problems that could affect the companies future growth. This paper is inteded to present several problem statements covering who the problem will affect, what boundaries are involved concerning the present problems, when these issues have surfaced and what steps have to occur to fix these issues, where these issues are present, and why these problems need to be addressed. The first issue present at Kudler Fine Foods involves the inabillity to improve customer interaction due to lack of time available. Having to spend so much time visiting each location, determining what new items need be ordered to ensure proper stock of inventory is availble, and ordering the needed material has become quite time consuming. Because of this, time needed to spend interacting with customers has been drastically limited. To address this issue, a new inventory program will be developed. This will give managers of the stores the ability to keep records of what inventory needs to be ordered throughout the week. The new system will maintain records of what products are being sold, as they are being sold. By having this system implemented, needed inventory will be recorded at time of purchase, and a report...

Although the negative outcomes for fatherless children are pervasive and impact all ethnicities, the focus of this qualitative research is on understanding the lived experiences of a particular family that has suffered through the pain of three generations of father absence. The literature regarding father absence is reviewed, and the negative outcomes associated with fatherless children are explored. The father absence literature categorically concludes that the father’s role is essential in child development. This problem statement project aims to develop a program from a Christian perspective that can be implemented in churches or faith-based groups to address the issue of father absence. The ultimate goal of this project is to reconnect fathers in a research demonstrating that children from single parent homes experience disadvantages when compared to their peers. In addition, the pain and emotional longing for the absentee...

...MGMT521 Create a Problem Statement Kathy Kudler established Kudler Fine Foods in 1998 when she decided to follow her dream of having a gourmet food store. She did not have any experience operating a gourmet food store. She has 3 stores. The La Jolla, CA store is doing well. Del Mar store is struggling. Encinitas store just opened and it is doing okay. Kathy oversees each store 7 days a week. Kathy does all operations of the stores Kathy is stretching her herself though all stores. Weakness KFF has managers but managers have many responsibilities. Kathy takes on most of responsibilities at the stores. She does the ordering for all stores, inventory, and financial records. She drives to and from each store daily to do this work. Even though she has management team she does all the work. I feel she should train managers to do their jobs function the way that she does them to ensure someone is always there to run the stores. It is not good for her to do all functions of the store and not let managers do their job. Kathy should think long term. If she was to get sick and have to b off for a week or more, who will know how to run the store with it’s many operations. If no one knows the operations of the store and she is sick the store will have some problems. There would be no one to order inventory, do the business statements, and help rotate out bad foods. Kathy needs to train others to do her job so that everyone knows the job if someone had to be off and next...

...Problem Statement: Kudler Fine Foods MGT/521 Management Vicki Silvers October 11, 2010 Problem Statement: Kudler Fine Foods Kudler Fine Foods (KFF) is recognized as a foremost gourmet grocery by providing premium baked goods, produce, meats, cheeses, and wines. After KFF’s grand opening 1998 of their first California store in La Jolla, KFF has tripled in size by expanding the business to both Encinitas and Del Mar California. Through outstanding success and growth, KFF’s owner Kathy Kudler has put the company in the situation in which the need for new business strategies is needed by management to ensure the continuing success of KFF’s. As KFF continues its growth and expansion in the next five years, the need to invest in new technology is evident. The investment of technology will increase the efficiency of management, thus allowing management time to focus on the company core values. The reason KFF’s success and growth is because their strong core organizational values set forth by Kathy Kudler the owner. These values include the mindset of a small business culture, a customer oriented focus, and to provide quality gourmet foods for the customers’ greatest dining experience. Employing the invested technology will computerize the inventory and ordering system within KFF. This technology will save time, organize inventory, and reduce waste. The first option KFF is considering is hiring to help with purchasing and inventory control. The second option...

...HOW TO WRITE A STATEMENT PROBLEM YOUR PROPOSAL WRITING COMPANION Compiled by Henry M. Bwisa Professor of Entrepreneurship Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology E-mail bwihem@yahoo.com Website www.professorbwisa.com November 2008 INTRODUCTION It is a constant complaint among those who evaluate proposals that the most frequent deficiency noted by them is the lack of a clear problem 1 statement to define and guide the inquiry. The issue of how to write a problem statement becomes important. WHAT IS A RESEARCH PROBLEM? Generally speaking a research problem is a situation that needs a solution and for which there are possible solutions. If a situation has no possible solutions then it makes little or no sense expending resources researching it. Take this statement, “everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die”. Dying looks like a problem that needs a solution yet there is no possible solution to it. People must die. A research on how people can live forever makes little or no sense. A research problem may be described as an incongruence; a discrepancy between what is and what ought to be. It may be also described as the gap in knowledge that needs to be filled. WHAT IS A PROBLEM STATEMENT? A problem statement is the description of an issue currently existing which needs to be addressed. It provides the context for the research study and generates the questions which the research aims to answer. The statement of the problem is the focal point of...

...and Who. Who - Who does the problem affect? Specific groups, organizations, customers, etc. What - What are the boundaries of the problem, e.g. organizational, work flow, geographic, customer, segments, etc. - What is the issue? - What is the impact of the issue? - What impact is the issue causing? - What will happen when it is fixed? - What would happen if we didn’t solve the problem? When - When does the issue occur? - When does it need to be fixed? Where - Where is the issue occurring? Only in certain locations, processes, products, etc. Why - Why is it important that we fix the problem? - What impact does it have on the business or customer? - What impact does it have on all stakeholders, e.g. employees, suppliers, customers, shareholders, etc. Each of the answers will help to zero in on the specific issue(s) and frame the Issue Statement. Your problem statement should be solveable. That is, it should take a reasonable amount of time to formulate, try and deploy a potential solution. Example Consider a software development and hosted data services company that supplies products and services to wireless carriers. They had issues deploying new software releases into the production environment. Deployment in this case is the work necessary for taking a production ready binary and installing, testing and releasing it into the production environment. The company failed to deploy the releases on-schedule over 50% of the time. Problem Statement: We want all of our software...

...Problem statements Qualitative problem statement Next to quality instruction, school leadership is the most significant factor in how much and what students learn at their school. Hiring administrators is not something that is taken lightly by district superintendents and school boards. It is a task that has become more daunting due to current expectations of todays administrator. Furthermore, hiring committees do not have the tools or strategies for hiring administrators that are a good fit for their district or schools. Therefore, more time and money is spent on continuing the hiring process. Frequent turnover of administration at a school site reduces consistency and direction for the staff and students and ultimately affects student learning. Current testing instruments such as the Praxis Educational Leadership: Administration and Supervision Examination are effective as summative assessment of the candidate’s attainment of certain skills but an ineffective detector of how the candidate will perform as a leader (Clifford, 2012). This qualitative study will compare and contrast the hiring practices of elementary school districts. This study aims to identify common strengths effective school administrators possess as well as current tools and strategies used by effective hiring committees. This study will focus on the hiring process of elementary principals within school districts located in central California. The data, tools and strategies gathered in this...

...Problem Statement for Kudler Fine Foods MGT 521 January 3, 2011 Problem Statement for Kudler Fine Foods Kudler Fine Foods was established in 1998 by Kathy Kudler (Kudler, 2003). “Kudler’s vision was a premiere gourmet grocery store for savvy shoppers who are searching for the finest meats, produce, cheeses, and wine” (Kudler, 2003, p. 3). Kudler Fine Foods, like many other organizations today is facing challenges because of an increase in competition and an unstable economy. After reviewing Kudler’s strategic plan, several issues were identified regarding the organization’s business practices. I will address one issue and identify alternative solutions. I will also provide a vision for Kudler by describing where the organization could be if management realize the opportunity. Problem Statement As Kudler Fine Foods expands in an ever-changing business world, its management structure is not transforming. Kudler Fine Foods shall create a well-define management team to work together effectively to achieve the organization’s mission. “One function of management is to give direction to their organizations, provide leadership, and decide how to use organizational resources to accomplish goals” (Nickels, McHugh and McHugh, 2008, p. 182). One major issue this organization face is a small management team. According to Kudler’s strategic plan, the risk of possessing a small management team is considered a weakness (Kudler, 2003). Kathy Kudler is...

...Problem Statement By: Diana Cohen Motivation and getting things done is a problem that presents in a workplace. Therefore, my goal is to reveal what it is that motivates employees to perform at their best and achieve optimal business results at all times. I have identified that many employers have attempted several different incentive programs to motivate their employees, yet they have not worked. This is a major problem faced by companies these days because each employer’s company is founded on the strengths of its employee’s performance. Lack of motivation occurs when the baseline benefits offered by a company is not being met. What do I mean by baseline? I mean Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Are we taking care of our employees physiologically? Are we making sure that they feel safe? Do they have a sense of belonging? How is their esteem? Do we give them self-actualization? Employees who are not motivated perform at a lower level than other workers. When one employee lacks motivation, it can bring down the morale of the entire office. Unmotivated employees may not have the energy or patience to deal with customers. If your employees handle sales, order fulfillment, returns or handling complaints, they may not adequately represent your company to the public. Employees should add value to your business, whether through increasing revenues or supporting staff that produces sales. When an employee is not motivated to do the job properly, it can impact your bottom line...

...Problem Statement Paper We want our Quality Group and our Operations Group to work collectively and collaboratively, with as little inconsistencies as possible. Currently our two groups have various understandings of current policy and procedure. The operations group is responsible to manage the agents on the phones speaking to our customers, whereas the quality group is responsible to evaluate the calls made by those analysts to ensure they are adhering to policy and procedure. There is a lot of validity to this survey on an internal level. This survey will help both departments understand where they are missing the mark. The policies and procedures impact a variety of internal sectors, which in turn impacts the overall business. For example, at the collector level, the agent needs to understand how to do their current job functions. They should be taught those skills by their supervisor. If their supervisor does not have a clear understanding of the current policies in place, when the quality group listens to, and evaluates the calls made by the collector, the collector is apt to fail. On a wider spectrum, the managers dictate to the Quality Group what they want to hear in the phone calls made with customers. If the Quality Analyst hears something that is against policy or procedure they will notify the management team. Once the management team reviews the call they will determine whether or not the current policies in place are in line with the specific needs of the business...
