Question

Your Job You have been selected to be part of a problem-solving team that will make recommendations to management on a variety of problems and issues. The team must (1) consider a variety of potential solutions and the potential negative response to each alternative, (2) reach consensus on recommendations, and, (3) present specific details to management. B. Case The Parking Situation The company is anticipating hiring 60 new employees, 20 on each of three shifts. At this time, the space allotted to parking will accommodate only an additional 4 cars on the day and afternoon shifts, and 10 cars on the midnight shift. The reason less space is available during the two day shifts is that from 7:30 A.M. to 6:30 P.M. 6 spaces are reserved for visitors. Currently, there is construction going on at the company that makes expansion of the existing lot impossible. Construction will be completed approximately 12 months from now. At that time the parking lot will be expanded by an additional 30 regular parking spaces. The additional space will be sufficient for all anticipated growth at this site. Currently, there is also a problem when the midnight shift works overtime. Workers on this shift often park in the visitor spaces; their cars may be in reserved spaces after 7:30 A.M. When visitors arrive early in the morning, all visitor spaces may be filled. Because customers are very important to the company, convenient spaces must be available for them. Sometimes people have been asked to move their cars to make adequate parking available for visitors. In a related problem, it has been brought to the attention of management that two people who work the afternoon shift park in the visitor spaces. They park there when arriving only a minute or two before they are to start their shift and when the only available spaces are at the far end of the parking lot. C. Two questions to respond to: 1. What are the specific problems? 2. What would you be your reccomendations and what would be the positive and negative consequences of these reccomendations?

Answer 1

1. In this senario the specific problem is related to car parking in company premises. Because company is hired new 60 peoples 20 in each of three different shift timings. For this reason the space already company having subject to parking is very less.

2. My recommendation is that those employee who come early for their shift. When their shift over they will leave the parking space. So, that those who are coming in different shift they will have proper space to park their cars. If both the people's of different shifts whould cooperate. So, the problem can be solved easily.
