Case Study Analysis Paper

Carl Robins the new campus recruiter for ABC has one month to coordinate a training schedule. He hired 15 new employees that should be trained by June 15. In order for the training to take place Carl has to coordinate the orientation, have all the policy booklets, training schedule, and drug test ready for all the new employees. Everything has to be finalized by June 15. After May 25 Carl realize that some of the new employees had incomplete applications on file, none of them had been sent for a drug screen, he did not have enough orientation manuals for all the trainees and the room he was planning to use for the training has been taken by Joe to conduct computer training seminars. With only one month to complete the training he panicked and didn't know what to do.

He also needs to find an available room to conduct the training. The one he was planning to use will be taken by one of his co-workers for the entire month of June. All of these key problems may seem overwhelming. Carl needs to calm down and starting acting fast.

ALTERNATIVES There are several alternatives for each key problem that can be considered. The following are some ideas that can be done to solve the key problems. Carl should consider taking some training classes himself. He is a
