notapprehend his situation and pushed through with his plan to hire more employees#then
soon he may have been overwhelmed by duties he cannot handle alone. &ehas
two choices: either he learn more about management or hire someone that canhelp him

Case -: Motorbus Company

The ob of Engr. Ancheta as the new manager is to ma'e the operations in themaintenance department as
effecient and effective as possible. The old method of purchasing which causes delays in the delivery of needed
parts is the root cause of their problem. The previous manager# Engr. Inductivo# was not able to provide a
solution so he resigned. Now# I think what Engr. Ancheta must do is to make achange in their purchasing and
delivery method. Saving the information regarding the parts used and the frequency of its replacement he should
make a list of theseparts and estimate the minimum number to be purchased so that parts would be ust enough
and not over stocked. So when a part needs replacement it can be taken from the storage room without waiting
for the approval of the purchase request. Also within a month# the number of buses will be doubled. Maintenance
units should also be increased proportional to the number of buses available
