Introduction

The MOTORBUS Company: Que Sera Sera is a route of bus from Manila via
Isabela. Que Sera Sera means What will be, will be. Engineer Hermogenes Ancheta
has just received his appointment papers from his new immediate superior, the
Vice-President for Operations; he has been promoted from Assistant Manager to
Manager

of

the

Maintenance

Department.

After

his department and make and make it work in the most effective and efficient
manner as possible without incertitude.

that

he has

at 62 years old. After the approval from VP for operations, the next day after the
approval

of Engineer

Inductivo

retirement, Engineer Ancheta

received an

appointment papers promoting him to be a manager.

By the time on his duty as a manager he inspects the storage room and he
found the uneven supply of parts. Some parts were in excessive quantities and some
important ones were inadequately stocked and the corner room contains a big volume
of obsolete parts. The problem now is that how he handle the operation most
effectively when hes just new to his job, while there are 50 more buses
added in the route for 100 buses will servicing the various routes assigned
to Motorbus Company.

Body

According to Engr. Laila Contreras, for Engineer Ancheta since hes just
new on the job as appointed Manager, he must think carefully on focusing in the
operations of the Motorbus Company to be good enough to work with it efficient and
more effective bus servicing through the Philippines. As a manager he must
need to know the employee under his supervision like mechanic, assistant
that they might work with no other reasons for them to give their support to the
company. This is just giving him the idea that he needs a better employee which
has no other alternatives just to work with the company with their full time
basis. For that reason they may work efficiently if they work together in helping
each other in the company to support their needs to have a better foundation of
Motorbus business infrastructure.
While according to Ms. Jhen Gatdula, the company must conduct an
additional training for the new employees that they may hire,
just to make sure that the bus route will do a better service
in travelling back to back to its destinations. The mechanic
should have their support as maintenance that every unit must
be checked before they move on to their destinations. Once the
unit

CONCLUSION
According to Engr. Contreras, , when Engineer Ancheta is appointed as a new
Manager, hes now on his way to make a decision like a real boss of the company,
for that case his order is the way that the President of Operations will be
respected. For the President knew that he is an honest manager to be appointed to
handle the operations pertaining with the Maintenance Department. Furthermore, I
recommend that they must need another hired of new employee since the addition of
a 40 new buses to be added on the route assigned to Motorbus Company. No one
should be able to quit, that he must need to convince his employee under his
supervision as a result of a good performance in the part of a workforce. Since
the company will be fielding an additional 50 new buses in the month, there is a
need of additional employee in his department like what Ms. Gatdula said.
Additional employee must be sufficient to what is needed by the new buses. As soon
as it is settled, there is no need for another additional employee because if they
only work efficiently and effectively and plan ahead of time, the work in the
motorbus company will operate smoothly.
