A strategic performance management framework is very essential for the success of our client, Bradley Stonefield of Landslide Limousine. It is imperative to explore the characteristics for a performance management framework. For us to create an efficient, successful performance management framework, we must incorporate the four levels of training assessment in developing a comprehensive job analysis. The recommendations for a performance management framework are also aligned to the organizational business strategy as identified by Mr. Stonefield.

The Kansas Food Bank in its mission statement promises to provide a comprehensive and compassionate Hunger Care whenever and wherever it is needed to families in Kansas. As a result of their mission statement, their operations have improved over the years and have grown tremendously to now serving over 85 counties within the state of Kansas, which includes over 530 hunger relief partners. Over 11 millions pounds of food was distributed just this past year. Deliveries are made to the different schools and agencies based on needs and the delivery schedule is clearly planned out by KFB administration. There’s no sign of stopping as they currently have a five-year plan that includes five more counties. This plan will be rolled out on a yearly basis for the next five years. This will add to the current distribution of 11 million pounds of food on a yearly basis. One would imagine that an operation of this magnitude and being done on a weekly basis would require more labor hours and truck space to carry out this massive scale of operations. To our surprise, they only have one truck and one driver that delivers all this amount of food. So there lies the bottleneck of this operation: they have enough food to deliver to the clients and enough clients to receive the food, but not enough manpower hours and truck space to do all the deliveries within a decent amount of time. Some of the delivery routes can take up to three days to complete. What if the truck breaks down and repair takes more time to fix than what was anticipated? What if the driver falls sick and is off for days? What would happen to the delivery operation? It was clear to us that they were putting all their eggs in one basket, in this case, one truck and one man. We were told that the driver is on the verge of a burnout since he’s been doing the deliveries all by himself for such a long time. Having to do all the deliveries by himself in a short amount of time, one can imagine the stress…
These demographic changes can be taken under consideration for the recruitment strategies, because Landslide Limousine Service can make a change in the city demographic by creating a diverse group of the minor’s ethnicities group. This can make a difference in how a Limousine company can be highlighted among others. With these factors, we suggest that Mr. Stonefield can plan to hire a new driver for every 5 client that repeat service in the company and it can possible that a 5% growth or higher over the next 5 years.…
I have identified a basic contract that is used when a provider and client have agreed to a specific service and payment for service (Savetz, 2012). The contract is at the end of this paper. In my scenario, the Client has requested the Provider to complete a concrete pad in the back yard of his new home. I will analyze this contract and identify the type of contract used, whether the contract is fair, if the contract is integrated or not, if the contract allows for the assignability of rights, and if the obligator can appoint another party to perform the contractual duties. I have identified the Client as McVay, and the Provider as Thomas. Thomas is the sole owner and employee of the company Concrete 123, in Sacramento California.…
As one of a Build a Better System’s lead analysts on the Hoosier Burger project, you have spent significant time discussing the current and future needs of the restaurant with Bob and Thelma. In one of these conversations, Bob and Thelma mentioned that they were in the process of purchasing the empty lot next to Hoosier Burger. In the future, they would like to expand the business to include a drive- through, build a larger seating area in the restaurant, include more items on the Hoosier Burger menu, and provide delivery service to the customers. After several discussions and much thought, the decision was made to implement the drive-through and delivery service and wait on the activities requiring physical expansion.
