They represent company and are directly responsible to the investors, government and the general public on relevant matters pertaining to the organization. They will be the brains of the organization and will spend most of their time planning and building structure for the organization. Top level management will assign specific tasks to different individuals working in middle management and give them the responsibility for implementing the objectives and goals of the organization.
Middle level management will be used to make the connection and communication link with top level management and low level management. They make sure plans and policies outlined by top level management are communicated to low level management. Their role is to establishing and implementing the activities for their departments which report to the Vice President of each organization listed on the organization chart...

Our Low level management roles and responsibilities is to complete the daily activities of the department to achieve Company objectivities, identified by Top Management. Low level management authority will be is limited but they will be encourage to empower the worker to make their own decisions and take on responsibility for the success of their specific organizational tasks.

Supervision and management need to be trained in the interpersonal skills to understand their workforce, motivate and create an environment that our employees understand and believe that this is a great place to work!
Evaluate the relationship between the human resource planning activities and the overall organizational strategy.
At Sweeney’s Medical Device Inc. how we will incorporate the human resource planning and the overall organizational strategy is that we will take a 3 step concept for our success in this area.
We will utilize the best technology to create the best product, have the finance to support each department and hire the best skilled and talented in the industry. Our overall resource base will be the success of each and every organization of the company.
We at Sweeney’s Medial Device we will use the latest technology to meet our operational and Strategic objectives of the company. Technology if used correctly can enhance the ability of the company to perfume and more effective and efficient manner. Mistake that we cannot make is to have outdated systems, software and manufacturing process that impacts the resource base. This will create chance for more errors, time consuming and may not be able to track performance of the organization. Our technology strategic plan at Sweeney’s Medical Device Inc. will to have a plan will insure we procure the best Technology that meets our mission, vison, values and strategic objectives. When we have the correct technology identified we must work with our team to identify a plan on where to purchase them or build them. Once obtained, we will have the best IT department and resource base to maintain and provide optimum performance.
The next step at Sweeney’s Medical Device Inc. will be able to have the finance or money to meet all our operational, technology HR requirements, and each organization requirements being capital equipment, resources, etc. and have the quality of staff and employees that will allow us to meet these expectations and develop a best in class manufacturing company.
HR department will be able to develop a plan that meets the strategic objectives to have the world’s best employees in the industry. This department will have the resources to develop plans and procedures which will allow the company to requite and pay our employees competitive wages and bonus or incentive programs to keep the expert workforce for years to come. Sweeney’s Medical Device Inc. we do not want to fail in not keep our resources in which we have put time and money in developing these employees. We will create a cultural and environment of a great place to work.
Finally in our, strategic plan the management team will insures that we take care and develop and that we provide training and technology to meet the demands of each and every organization. In organization will work as a team and empower the workforce. We will understand that each resource or organization is independent of each other. The interdependence means that the result of whatever is planned for and acted upon with one resource will have an influence on the plans of another resource. We as a company will make sure we understand this and develop a plan that utilizes the three resources which will enable us to develop a good strategic plan that supports this. The figure below shows a pie chart of the three critical resources. This picture shows that each resource is equal in importance and is connected to each of the other. The outside circles demonstrate that each is driven by its own operational plan which in turn is driven by the organization’s strategic plan which is driven by the organization’s mission and vision.
It doesn’t matter which resource the management team begins to develop first. Each could be developed separately, but before a strategic plan is finalized there needs to be a matching of the requirements of each to the other. Organizational effectiveness is achieved when there is alignment between the technology, finance, and human resource strategic plans, and these plans are focused towards achieving the mission.
Compose the steps of control and types of controls included in the control process for the organization.
At Sweeney’s Medical Device Inc. it must know that when the strategies are set and the operational plans are made, the next task is the critical control function of management. These steps will insure or help that the plans are carried out and have the controls in place. The four-step process, known as control process, consists of developing and using a process that enables the company to document and track performance standards, measuring performance, comparing measured performance to creating values, and taking corrective action. Establishing performance standards, being the first step, is where an organization sets their standards (rules or basis’ of comparison used to measure capacity, quantity, content, value, cost, quality, or performance). The second step, measuring performance, is where managers measure actual performance after standards are established, to determine variations from the standard. Comparing measured performance to established values is the third step in the process, and is where managers compare operations to the standards for that performance, and if deviations exist, the evaluator must decide whether these deviations are significant and require corrective action. The final step, taking corrective action, is when an employee determines the cause(s) of a significant deviation from a standard, he/she must take corrective action to avoid repetition of the problem or defect (Plunkett, Allen, & Attner, 2013).
Discuss the philosophy of management that will be applied to the management of the organization and how the structure of the organization will foster a positive work environment where employees will be motivated and productive.
|
Here at Sweeney’s Medical Device Inc. we will hire and train effective leaders to ensure we have the process, procedures and skill set to motivate our employees. Good leaders have the ability to influence, inspire, motivate and direct their activities to help meet our company and organizational goals. Our effective leaders will increase the organizations ability to meet upcoming challenges, and also increase productivity and the ability to work successfully with a diverse workforce fairly and impartially. Our effective leader and managers will be able to develop and implement procedures and process in the organization that allow the employees to understand the expectations, objectives and goals of the group or organization. Our effective leaders will need to have the ability to develop strategic objectives and a road map of the organization, recruit, retain, motivate, inspire and develop relationships with employees based on trust and mutual respect. At Sweeney’s Medical Device Inc. our leadership will empower their subordinates by giving them the authority to make decisions and be responsible for their outcomes, improve quality and where possible cut costs. This often increases the workers involvement, motivation and dedication to the job. This can also help the manager team by providing more time to focus on more critical concerns of the organization rather than spending time on the day to day supervisory responsibilities. Our leaders needs to show consideration for the subordinates to indicate that they trust, respect and care about them. Good leaders should look out for the wellbeing of their subordinates and do what they can to help their subordinates feel good and enjoy their work. Good Leaders have a good process or structure in place which allows the work to get completed in an efficient and effective manner. If you have a good structure then the leader and subordinates know what needs to be accomplished and how to go about completing the work. Leaders or good managers must demonstrate a position of being fair and impartial with all employees and use their power to assist their subordinates and the employees need to respect the leader’s power to ensure success in the organizations. The leader must be able to provide a means for rewarding the subordinates for their hard work and performance. Effective managers can motivate their employees by rewarding them with pay raises, bonuses, etc., as recognition or respect for a job well done. Today’s manager/leader does not need to be the brightest or smartest in the organizations but needs to have some of these management traits which allows the company or organization to meet or exceed its operational commitments and have an inspired and high morale organization |
Summary
In Summary to really understand how a business will work and survive in this competitive global market we will have to clearly understand the operational plan and how it is critical that we have the skill set and resources available to meet the demands of the company. Every organization plays a key role in meeting the operational, tactical, and most of all the strategic plan. The operational plan should contain a description of the organizational structure, including an organization chart. Human resources are one of the most important resources of a business, and payroll and related costs account for a large part of operational expenditure. In the context of business modelling, the operational plan is a spreadsheet model which includes most operational and capital expenditure items and the quantification of physical items, such as office space, plant and machinery, etc. The operational plan is the main cost driver and must insure that it meets the Strategic plan of the company.
