The President Ralph Larsen has realized that Wengart has some major problems with the quality however he is focusing on the profitability instead of the longevity of the company. He needs to have the team focus on improving the quality problem or the company’s profits will continue to decrease. Larsen in the effort to improve the quality has decided to seek out help from an OD practitioner who suggests to Ralph to implement Top Quality Management (TQM). Larsen feels that this should be easy to implement and hands it off to Kent Kelly the Vice President. He feels that the TQM program was a matter of common sense (Brown, 2011, p. 365).

As I seek to enter the workforce/company, one of the first things that I wish to remember is the importance the company has placed on their strategic planning and goals. How decisions made by this team will directly affect the operations, finance, accounting, purchasing and administrative departments. The things that help to make any organization successful, are the value the organization places on their strategic, and operational goals. Therefore, before taking a position with a company I hope to learn as much as I can about the various functions of the company, and how each department works with the next in order to achieve these goals. Thus, I hope to use the knowledge I have gained in this class in operations management to access the company’s operational strategies. This should be reflective in their mission and vision statements as well as their financial reports. I would also look for the value they place on ethics, corporate responsibility and giving back to the community. I feel a company’s success will be directly tied to how effective they are in meeting the daily challenges of processes/production/service, operations, and sales. The value placed on these specific areas will be evident by their success and reflective in both their short and long term goals, in their financial statements.
