Pwc Awareness Case

iii. Processing merchandise while leaving and entering the warehouses was In itself a very inefficient and unfruitful task because of the bad state of inventory management in the warehouse. This contributed to frequent stock outs in the stores because of the lack of proper inventory processing.

In a hurry to bring new products they are forced to sell off old products at discount. They are in a way cannibalizing their own products.

Secondly, the company's growing complexity was choking it and was a big cause of concern. Adding more bricks made products harder to assemble, forecasts harder to determine, and inventory harder to manage. The complexity had a multiplier effect that went through the entire supply chain

were left over from last year, thus we stocked out. We lost critical sales to the other companies within our

Some necessary paperwork such as what was picked and what was backordered is important for the foreman to keep track of. This paperwork is taken to a secretary who is told the bins are full and need to be shipped. The pickers take another pick list from the secretary and get back to

If the operation have not reordered all the goods they need, this can lead to irritated customers and lower revenue for the operation.

While the purchasing department is busy working on the inventory other departments are using the sales projections to work on their staffing needs. They have done time studies to determine how many “pickers, and packers” are needed for their peak season. Their customer service department is also using these same sales projections to determine how many phone calls they will receive along with how many representatives they need. They are also meeting with shipping companies to negotiate cost and packing volumes. The shipments begin coming in June, and brought to their receiving area. Once everything is checked and made sure they have received what they should have received it in put into their warehouse. The warehouse is set up from slower movers to faster movers. The faster movers are set up closer to the conveyer lines to minimize the travel time for the pickers. In August they start staffing of the warehouse. While all departments are filling their staffing needs and beginning their training, the purchasing department is watching what costumes are selling early to see if there is

High employee turnover, where workers frequently leave and must be replaced, leads to increased spending on recruitment and training and can indicate management problems. Employees often have good reasons for moving on but if too many are leaving an organisation, can be very disruptive.

Mr. Daniel Enrique Torres is asking for TWC to purchase him a laptop to complete his classes from the Associates of Applied Science Degree in Information Systems Security and Assurance.

With the attention and support that the trio received regarding sustainability, writing the PwC values was first on the agenda after the merger.

High employee turnover. The business suffers from high employee turnover that increases firm’s costs, as it has to train new employees more often. The main reason for high employee turnover is low skilled, poorly paid jobs.

We used up about one-fifth of it last year. Dyer’s figure of $178,360 for materials probably includes about $51,000 for GHL. But it’ll be tricky stuff to handle if we don’t use it up. We bought it for $1,275 a ton, and you couldn’t buy it today for less than $1,450 a ton. But if you sold it, you’d only get around $1,200 a ton, but then there would be all the handling expenses-probably about $100 a ton.” Walsh thought that Dyer ought to be present during this discussion. He called her in and put Duffy’s points to her. “I don’t much like all the conjecture,” Dyer said. “I think my figures are pretty conclusive. Besides, if we are going to have all this talk about ‘what will happen if,’ don’t forget the problem of space we’re faced with. We’re paying $21,840 a year in rent for warehouse space a couple of miles away. If we closed Duffy’s department, we’d have all the storage space we need without renting.” “That’s a good point,” said Walsh, “but I’m a bit worried about the workers if we close the department. I don’t think we can find room for any of them elsewhere in the firm. I could see whether Packages can take any of them. But some of them are getting on. There are Walters and Hines, for example. They’ve been with us since they left school 40 years ago. I’d feel bound to give them a small pension - $4,000 a year each, say.” Duffy showed some relief at this. “But I still don’t like Dyer’s figures,” he said.
