Aluminum is abundant metal in the Earth and has many features such as, corrosion resistant, lightweight, excellent electrical conductors, and easily tailored. Aluminum trade depends on international official prices in the global metal exchange. Realizing the golden features in the aluminum industry, AlEsra was founded in 1990 in AlMadinah, Saudi Arabia as a private limited company (Ltd). AlEsra is an aluminum manufacturing and casting company; was established with a 500 square meter factory, with 22 working staff, led by its founder, Mr. Ayman Samaren. In 2007 AEF launched a new line of hydraulic press sheet door systems. It provides the availability of variety in designs and colors. In 2010 AEF received a certification from The …show more content…
AEF has been a pioneer in making Aluminum Mashrabiyas. AEF has executed more than three hundred and fifty great projects in the AlMadinah area and in Saudi Arabia. The main client was identified to be Mr. Samaren, the owner and the general manger of AEF. Since the communication during the OD process will be web-based and not a face-to-face process, the direct clients were kept limited. During the initial interview, via Skype, with the owner, he exposed that AEF has been working on a strategic plan with Dr. Ali, a professional consultant and the director of M&DC. Although the outcome of this project may impact the whole organization if decisions were made accordingly, the relevant clients were identified as the three members who are the key holders of knowledge about the new strategic plan: the owner, Dr. Ali, and the deputy general manager, Mr. Akber Ahmad. Hence, a project work plan was emailed to the clients to keep them on track with the OD process as well as set clear expectations about the study. (Exhibit 1). Later on, a form of initial diagnosis questions has been sent to Dr. Ali to identify the main organizational issues (Exhibit 2). Dr. Ali explained that AEF needs planning and a coordination system between all subsystems because the factory involves two different kinds of tasks: manufacturing and contracting. Additionally, AEF expands and

Conclusively ‘Reynolds X100’ is more expensive than steel, due to its large percentage of aluminium, yet still not greatly expensive. In an ethical sense, the production of these bikes will not be wasteful, as aluminium is recyclable. It has great weight, very resistant to forms of decay and resistance to fatigue. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to repair, as the joining methods take large amounts of time and are very costly.
“The outcome of the research phase is not only consensus about the facts of the organization and its environment; it also gives focus to the next step, that of formulating the organization’s vision for itself” (Berman, 2006, p. 70). Organizational mandates and the type of stakeholders that need to be engaged are often identified prior to developing mission, vision and values. Once an understanding of mandates and stakeholders are clear, then the design phase can continue. The MDHHS strategic planning team and its designated stakeholders develop statements to describe what the department does and why it exists, decides upon principles and beliefs that will guide the continued work of the department, and a statement of the ideal future state based on the work the department intends to do (mission, vision, values, respectively). In addition, the information collected in the research phase is compiled and assessed and any additional data needs are identified and summarized. Organizational strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats (SWOT) or challenges (SWOC) are identified in this phase (Berman, 2006, p. 71).
Alcoa created its aluminum using a process called Hall-Herould through electrolysis since aluminum is highly reactive, as I have mentioned before, and for this requires a high amount of energy. A single aluminum plant uses as much electricity as the city of Tacoma. The company is spending millions of dollars researching ways to use less power. It, however, still takes an average of 16,232 kilowatt hours to turn out a ton of aluminum, if we are to compare to another product, for instance steel would only need 77 for a ton. However, there is a reason to why Alcoa Intalco Works stays purely with aluminum as Isaac Bonell, a writer for The Bellingham Business Journal pointed out that “Aluminum is needed to build infrastructure, to manufacture cars and airplanes, to make high-tech medical equipment and to package your favorite chilled beverage. In the smelting industry, there is no shortage of customers.” Last year, on August 2016, the facility celebrated its 50th birthday in operation which was bittersweet because they were discussing shutting down some of their potlines again which mean layoff of over 400 employees as well. Unfortunately, energy crisis was not the only problem here but had to do with the global market prices of aluminum which makes Intalco unprofitable.
This paper seeks to review the five phases and other key elements and outcome expectations with the purpose of providing clarity to the organizational focus. It then demonstrates some of the implications and accomplishments
Every organization should have a strategic plan to achieve its goals in a limited time period, the strategic plan has many variable models. The strategic planning process that we studied needs a collaboration between the organization’s staff, board members, and strategic plan committee. This strategic planning process has ten guide steps.
This strategic plan will be the key reference document for APHNICF accessible to our existing and new staff and Board members, key stakeholders, partners and over the next five years. True to our core value of transparency and accountability, it will be donors. The strategic plan document will be part of the induction pack of new staff and Board members and interns. The organization’s operations will be guided by it and annual operational plans and reports benchmarked on it. Accordingly, our annual reports to the Board and other key stakeholders shall include sections that analyse progress against the strategic plan goal and objectives.
This business Service Operation project consist of establishing a strategic plan for The Olmen Insurance Agency and providing them with ideas on how to improve their target market. To initiate this process we conducted several research methods to determine the best strategic plan for Olmen.
Firstly, it is necessary for the Inaash to develop a systematic strategic plan (Alternative #1)—in response to the organization’s lack of coherent developmental strategy. Although this may consume time and energy as a result of deliberation among the board and members, a well-written and consistent mission, vision, and goals can provide a clear road map to the organization. Also, it can establish the organization’s culture and make the board—as well as the members—arrive to the same decision, actions, and objectives.
Besides, regarding to the clients, the JVI had never build up a connection with the client until the surprisingly got the contract, the existence of hierarchy and non-trust between client and project team lead to the inefficiency of obtaining client information, later resulted in Jack’s misleading proposal for market research. Also, because in the concept of high power distance, decision making process is limited one-way participation and communication (In the Eye of the Beholder, cross cultural lessons in leadership from project GLOBE, Mansour Javidan, Peter W. Dorfma, etc), Jack’s own lack of experience on project management made it is possible for the project to diverge from previous direction under one person’s leadership.
The agenda, beginning with day one will include introduction of all members to include the facilitator of our meeting. We will use a facilitator who is not a stakeholder so all participants are on a level playing ground with each other. Next we will confirm the objective of the project which is to draft an action plan to restore the reputation of BP Oil Company as a responsible world leader in the exploration and production of oil and oil products. We will then confirm the scope of the risk process of this work shop to include discussion of the risk management plan to include managing internal and external risk factors. At this point, the project manager will also provide the vision statement to the group to include expectations and anticipated results from the group.
In phases 2, we conduct a simple research to obtain the information though online internet. Our group uses the sources to gain the knowledge and understand what kind of strategy that HupSengcame out and understand the management teams even the financial performance.
The company I’ve selected for this article is AFS Fuels from Britain. My original thought was Raytheon Industries however after further research I found it more difficult to find a specific product and enough information to utilize it for the purposes of this paper. In addition, I found this company far more interesting as they are attempting to create a product that I believe in and feel may help to solve a world crisis that I find very real and urgent.
The first problem observed in the case study was the stakeholder’s mentality towards the product. Early in the reading, it is stated that Mike was concerned about the scope of the project based upon having prior experience with this type of work and the knowledge that the lack of a final formula could
The applied strategic plan lays the five year framework for the new hired employees to become productive and successful. The ministry has developed its strategic plan from operational applications and previous data. There are four aspects of ASP that will be examined:
