We will use our knowledge and experience to provide suggestions for improvement that will have a positive impact not only on CanGo’s bottom line but also on the morale of all those who are employed by the organizations. Elizabeth (Liz), who is the owner of CanGo, first conceived the idea of the company in 2006. Since then, the company has grown exponentially. According to the company’s intranet “Liz’s experience and

Let me say first thank you for giving us the opportunity to evaluate your company’s operational process. It has been a tremendous experience to be in a company that started out small and grew to one of the leading businesses in the industry. CanGo does have a promising future ahead. During our evaluation over the past two weeks, we have noticed a few things that will be a problem in the future if not resolved. It seems that the company has been profitable by chance not because of planning. At this point we feel the need to work on the planning aspect and all that it entails. There are six key issues and recommendations that we have made that we know

CanGo is considering making investments in the technology in order to improve process flow. In order to better understand the investments they are considering, it is important to fully understand the process choices and the differences between them.

For video 1, I was not very comfortable. It was hard for me to imagine that my classmate is a real client. I felt better, after a while.

CanGo Inc exhibits a poor company culture that is disorganized, very casual and to an extent unethical. CanGo employees have adopted a casual approach when addressing matters that are integral to the success of the company. Warren as the leader of the organization has condoned and facilitated the prevalence of this poor company culture. He makes a joke on how to approach Liz with modifying the process layout and his team (Debbie and Jack) laugh and brush of the process layout as an easy task. The overly casual and careless approach is also displayed at CanGo as Maria casually interrupts Warren during a team briefing to carelessly finish his sentence for him that the volunteer in their warehouse was wearing a tattered Burberry.

The lack of interest is displayed as Andrew is oblivious to the fact of increased shipping to Japan when asked by Andrew if he has noticed the changes. The planning process at CanGo is adversely affected by the poor company culture.
