Milestone Project: Sample Project Brief
Established in 2010, Jimmy Jonas Famous Sandwiches (JJFS) is a new, yet fast growing, sandwich
shop. They established an early reputation for the best bread west of the Mississippi with quality
ingredients and friendly, efficient service. Recently, however, efficiency has slipped. JJFS cannot
keep up with the increase in sales, especially in their catering orders. Although new employees have
been added, the demand for their services is greater than their ability to handle it. As a result, some
customers have deflected to other sandwich shops and catering orders have greatly declined. At this
rate, JJFS will develop a poor reputation, which could ultimately mean the end of their business.
JJFS specializes in exceptional service and delivery. Along with their hundreds of stores, they are
also known for delivering at supersonic speed. JJFS caters all types of business luncheons, birthday
parties and other celebrations. JJFS has a comprehensive training program for all employees
including sandwich making, bread making and customer service.
Catering orders are on a first-come basis. In other words, customers are prioritized in the order in
which they call. The orders are dispatched to the various locations based on delivery location.
Inventory, driving routes, staffing, and the scheduling of orders are completed at a centralized office
by the office manager. Orders are received at the various locations with follow-up with the customer
for additional order or delivery details as necessary. Sometimes the store locations will borrow
inventory from other locations in order to complete the order. All catering orders are delivered by
JJFS staff using personal vehicles for delivery.
Currently, JJFS has over 300 store locations in six states with one central office that manually
processes all catering orders. Catering orders are emailed to the store manager as soon as they are
received. The office handles all accounting, inventory orders, and completes all new employee
paperwork and training. Unfortunately, the catering orders portion of their business has dropped by
20% in the last 6 months. JJFS has 12 team leaders (2 per state) that travel from location to location
to train employees, a manager at each location, and multiple sandwich makers.
As a result of the decreased efficiency, costs have risen and profits have dropped. Good service
sandwich makers are hard to find, thus, it is difficult to hire quality people. As a result, the team
leaders are overworked and far behind in their training. Subsequent problems of lagging service
include such disastrous outcomes as: (1) a customer not receiving their catering order for their
daughter’s 8
th birthday party; (2) a customer receiving a catering order for someone in another state;
(3) a customer not receiving an order at all due to an employee’s vehicle malfunction. Overall,
morale is slipping among employees and customers are increasingly becoming more dissatisfied with
the service.
Obviously, JJFS will need to do something soon to recover from their problems, otherwise the
company will cease to exist. The owner, Stephanie Horine, thinks a computer system could help the
company. She is not sure how it could help but is confident that you will come up with something.
