The products limited company does not understand the importance of goal oriented production. Each employee has a different goal in mind and in return none are getting reached. The president wants a quality product with efficient production; while the managers want mass production in a short amount of time. The laborer’s are getting over worked because they try and produce a quality product, but is impossible with the push they receive. In return the president is angry at the managers for the poor quality, while the managers are angry with laborers. It is a big circle of arguments that does not get solved.

It is a company that deals with the production of all types of tires for all the model of vehicles. The company has employed approximately two hundred employees. These employees deal with running of the machines, packing the finished products and assist in distribution. An internal scan of the business shows that the employees of this company have a relationship that is not close. Everyone has his or her own assigned job and to not get enough time to interact.

The activities in the organization run smoothly though there is a gap between the employees relationship.

Today’s companies are challenged by frequent changes in market demands and consumers’ desires for new products and services. Companies which fail to adapt to these changing conditions often find themselves struggling to survive. This is the situation for the Texas Plant, as described in the case study by Pryor, Humphreys, and Taneja (2011). The Vice President, Human Resources Director, and Organizational Development Manager find themselves not only facing the struggles of transforming the Texas Plant, but also the difficulties of working together to achieve it. The following paper describes these difficulties and examines how the actions of the leaders impacted the change process. Recommendations to assist the plant’s leadership in moving forward will be offered.

The old crew began to hate the new supervisors. The supervisor’s attitude towards the employees were close monitoring, giving orders, and yelling. This caused stress and frustrations among employees, reducing their job performance. The supervisors made changes from the previous year that resulted in job satisfaction. The supervisors decided when to eat, how they wanted to do the job, and always drove the truck. They didn’t allow employees to talk to each other or to the customers on the job. This negatively affected customer service and customer relations.

One of the valued but demanding customer, who had considered Engstrom as a certified supplier, was requesting a large order but Engstrom was unable to deliver on time due to the low productivity problem. The plant manager along with his assistant were already dealing with the troubling numbers when this happened. While the task was a tough bone and not easy to tackle, and there were a lot of factors needed to be taken in to consideration. The leadership started to analyze and break down the main causations other than the overall economic trend that dragged the company into the turmoil, as it turned out, it was the low, frustrated employee morale and diminished work satisfaction.

In this case study, a manager named Abdul has to deal with one of his subordinate named Hahn Chen who problem working along with another colleague has named Amie Lee. Chen wishes to be transfer and report directly to Abdul instead of Ms. Lee because Ms. Lee is not a technical supervisor. This is typical problem between employees that happens often in a working environment. A problem like this often helps demonstrate conflict managing and how good a manager is. The problem Abdul face covers many areas of organizational behavior such as conflict and negotiation, organizational change and stress management, communication, personality and values.

Due to this culture, the work unit climate is affected as well. It can be seen that there is a weak cross-functional collaboration among the departments since Jack’s leadership. This is demonstrated by Jack, who goes directly to R&D department for new projects without considering any discussion with other departments. Therefore, other departments do not functioning at their optimal level hence, it affects the organization effectiveness. Besides that, it is clear that Innostat employees only working within their own departments, and prefer to work on their achievements, hence prove that there is no common goal among them. Apart from that, Jack’s opinion on “Good ideas don’t need incentives, they need passion” (Beer, 2006) is one of the factors that affect the individual and organizational performance. Jack as a leader does not put much attention on the rewards, hence it

His job performance is hindered by constraints such as his work environment, his home environment, stressors, mood, and the management style of his superior.

From Figure 1, we know that the critical path is Activity 1-2-5-7-10-13-15. It is because if there is any change of time in the Activities on the critical path, the whole progress time of the project will change. Therefore, we choose to crash the activities on the critical path with the lowest crash cost in order to lower the time used with minimum additional cost. Activity 7 has the lowest crash cost within the Activities on the critical path. So, we choose to crash Activity 7 first.
