Truck Allocation Dilemma 1.
Who is your client and what do they say they want? What do they need?
My client is Jennifer of Crisp Electric and Line (CEL). She wants to be able to identify the need of her employees so she can pick the best suited person to get the new truck. She needs to hear everyone out on why they believe they should get the truck but also other concerns and improvements that they want to see within the company. 2.
How does Jeannette’s relationship with Sam impact your relationship with Jennifer?
Jeannette’s relationship with Sam should have no impact on my relationship with Jennifer. Jennifer is the boss running Crisp Electric and Line, so she is the one I am working with. Sam stated that he has all the faith in the world in her to run the company and will not undercut any of her decisions. I am working for Jennifer, not Sam, as she is the operations manager. Jeannette has faith in me, and Sam has faith in Jennifer, so this will be a good relationship to help Jennifer with her upcoming decisions.
3.
What industry is your client in? What are the factors that play in and around your client's industry? (Open Systems View)
When looking into what industry my client is in, I went to her top employees to get the run down on their daily job functions. Jennifer runs a lot of the office and behind the senses work, so I wanted insight from CEL’s employees who have eyes on the daily job. I consulted Biff and Tom to get more insight into this. I wanted to know what their daily itinerary looks like, who takes on what roles and positions, how they like things ran, etc. Some factors that play within my client’s industry are experience within the job, different specialties per person when completing tasks, and the equipment. Some factors that play outside my client's industry are who needs contacts, weather conditions, and the public and private sector.

Wheelco, Inc. manufactures automobile and truck wheels. The company produces four basic, high-volume wheels used by each of the large automobile and pickup truck manufacturers. Wheelco also has two specialty wheel lines. These are fancy,
complicated wheels used in expensive sports cars.
Lately, Wheelco's profits have been declining. Foreign competitors have been undercutting Wheelco's prices in three of its bread-and-butter product lines, and Wheelco's sales volume and market share have declined. In contrast, Wheelco's specialty
wheels have been selling steadily, although in relatively small numbers, in spite of three recent price increases. At a recent staff meeting, Wheelco's president made the following remarks: "Our profits are going down the tubes, folks. It cost us 29
dollars to manufacture our A22 wheel... That's our best seller, with a volume last year of 17,000 units. But our chief…

Insurance Ltd. accepts payments on various insurance policies from employees of businesses across the island.

During the construction of the first building, the Project Manager formed an auditing team to audit the construction process for each building. He asked the team to develop a list of minimum requirements for the projects and use this as a baseline in the audit. While reviewing the contract documents, one of the audit team members found a discrepancy between the contract minimum requirements and the City’s minimum requirements. Based on his findings, he has told the project manager that he has decided to contact the city administrator and discuss the problem. Question: If you were the project manager, how would you handle this situation? How can a customer be assured of satisfactory project completion?
