Executive Summary­­­­­­­­

This report will provide an analysis of Bayonne Packaging, Inc and its involvement in the paper packaging industry. The three most important issues facing this company are analyzed which include (i) how can Bayonne strengthen communication among departments and improve overall company culture, (ii) how will Bayonne be able to develop or improve their computerized scheduling system (iii) given Bayonne’s poor delivery performance, how can operational efficiencies be improved in terms of capacity utilization of the machines. In addition to analysis of these current issues, alternative solutions have been developed for each. The alternative that holds the strongest presence is for Bayonne to instill a strong corporate culture and ultimately strengthen communication that will allow for the company to excel in its key performance measures of cost, quality, dependability and speed.
Introduction

Bayonne Packaging, Inc. is currently involved in the paper packaging industry. Currently a 43 million dollar company, Bayonne has grown from 1982 when sales were just 10 million. Bayonne differentiates themselves in being a “specialty packaging” paper converter that produces customized, complex-design packaging that is used by industrial customers for promotional materials, software, luxury beverages, and gift food and candy. By diversifying into new markets Bayonne applied its strength in innovative and difficult packaging design and their ability to fold and glue complex blanks. The main issues facing the company are the following: (i) how can Bayonne strengthen communication among departments and improve overall company culture, (ii) how will Bayonne be able to develop or improve their computerized scheduling system

    Usps Synthesis Paper

    If I were the current CEO for the United States Postal Service, I would be gravely concerned about the future of my business, as it has recently taken a steep plummet from its success and popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries. The USPS is now faced with the decision to renovate itself due to the extreme loss of business as technology takes over the 21st Century. Some say that the USPS should be entirely reconstructed because the business is only headed further downhill, while others say that paper mail is still very practical, more so than e-mail, and we must each write more letters to do our part in reviving the business to profitability again. Because the USPS has been such a vital part of our country through its contribution to communication and employment, the organization needs to stay afloat by cutting back on delivery days, strategically rebranching throughout the country, and recapturing the importance of itself through advertising, in order to adapt to the new technology-based era.…

    Sealed Air

    A secondary problem that Sealed Air faced is that they were selling to select distribution networks so they could adhere to Sealed Air’s suggested prices. These networks were not the influencers in packaging products, and Sealed Air was directly selling to the wrong people. They should have been selling to packaging engineers. The case study mentions that Sealed Air is known for its technologically advanced problem-solving sales force. If the sales force was using problem solving or value selling methodologies they should have known that consumers were looking at a lower cost product and should have communicated that back to business leaders. Because Sealed Air was too product focused and neglected to accurately monitor what was going on in the market place with competitors and what consumers needs and wants were, they lost market share.…

    Abuse is everywhere. Behind closed doors are some of the worse things known to mankind. David James Pelzer was just a normal child, who lived in a normal neighborhood, but not a so normal house.

    Internalism Vs Real World Analysis

    Jim Pryor states, according to his explanations, that the argument against philosophies that encourage immediate justification go on to say that justifiers need to be wholly made up of propositional content. This becomes ‘The puzzle of the Given’, according to BonJour and Davidson, and states that this becomes a dilemma in how the foundationalists attempt to use this to account and understand for how basic beliefs can solve the other problem of infinite regress. Firstly, I will attempt to negotiate Pryor’s foundationalist’s defense of immediate justification and its justifiers, while applying Davidson and Bonjour’s rebuttals against…

    Riordan Manufacturing Executive Summary

    As a Fortune 1000 enterprise, and an industry leader in the field of plastic injection molding, Riordan Manufacturing, offers state-of-the art plastics design capabilities through its facilities in San Jose, California; Albany, Georgia; Pontiac, Michigan; and Hang Zhou, China. Currently, Riordan's COO, Hugh McCauley, and the executive team have requested changes to the current information system used to maintain inventory and manufacturing processes. Evaluation of current Sales, Inventory, and Manufacturing processes will be required as well as the evaluation of current hardware and software. The present networking system requires improvements and, thanks to today's technology can easily be upgraded. The outdated information system and methods could potentially place Riordan Enterprises at a competitive disadvantage in the near future. The present computing process is a time consuming, labor intense process of consolidating the General Ledger in order to produce monthly income statements and balance sheets. Riordan Enterprises currently spends fifteen to twenty days to generate and deliver these reports to the corporate office, which causes an overall inefficiency. Because there have been major developments in information systems technology that Riordan Enterprises has yet to utilize, the corporate headquarters in San Jose, California, Finance, and Accounting have authorized improvements to the existing information system for all Riordan Enterprise locations. New and improved hardware and software networking solutions will be required for this company to move into the 21st century as an industry leader. In addition, while looking for an effective and efficient database application and database use, a Windows based application would be preferable for use by all areas of the…

    Insider And Outsider Analysis

    Crocker 's accounts of "insiders" and "outsiders" do answer some of the concerns raised by ethnocentrism. Not one, nor the other is predominantly to blame for ethnocentrism, rather both "insiders" and "outsiders" demonstrate these negative aspects. "Insiders" can reject any advice from an outsider with the existence of an a priori that gives the "insider" the notion that "nothing can be learned from an outsider". Outsiders exhibit ethnocentrism in the way they give more credit to the ideas of their own culture because it is often socio-economically more…

    Root Cause

    The second root cause is the lack of supervisor. Since the packaging department was located far from other departments, the supervisor from other departments was not easy to take care of the packing department. Additionally, the negative norms in the packaging department have increased due to the lack of supervisor been present to enforce policy. Their bad behaviour directly affected the productivity in packaging department. Furthermore, their quality and productivity used to win them awards; it meant their function in packaging department was quiet well as a self-managing group. However, when the planning and sawmilling departments had increased their productivity, packaging department couldn’t catch up with this productivity. It also causes increased inventory cost due to the backlog.…
