Peak Garage Door Inc. has set a goal to increase their sales for 2004. Garage door industry is expecting a growth of 2.4% while the management of Peak is looking to increase company’s sales 26.4%. The company currently has 50 exclusive dealers and 300 non-exclusive dealers. Management has three proposals in front of them. The first suggestion is to increase the number dealers in their existing markets. The second recommendation is to develop an exclusive franchise agreement with existing non-exclusive dealers. The third recommendation is to decrease the number of dealers and focus company’s resources on increasing support for the existing dealers. Of course there is an option for them to leave everything as it is. My suggestion is to go with the second recommendation due to the fact that exclusive dealers produced 70% of company’s sales and non-exclusive dealers contributed only 30%. In order for Peak Garage Doors Inc. to reach their sales goal for ‘04 they will have to gain more exclusive dealers since they contribute much more profit to the company.

It will help increase productivity, product quality and work performance while saving inventory costs for the company. (Curtin, 2008). Kuiper Leda also needs to keep in mind that they will still have to fill orders from other clients that have previously placed orders or even new customers.
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a member of the family Togaviridae and genus Alphavirus that have been associated with large sporadic epidemics (Schwartz & Albert, 2010) (Suhrbier, Jaffar-Bandjee, & Gasque, 2012).

In total, the company used $2,059,000 to increase its inventory levels.

Transport is a political factor as it is controlled and affected by legislation. This will impact on the staff and opponents (travelling to the stadium) as the accessibility of transport will impact on travelling times – both positively (may avoid traffic on a train e.g.) and negatively (trains, buses etc. may be cancelled or delayed). The price of transportation will also affect the mode of transport that these groups of people may use. Similarly, price and accessibility of transport will affect the consumers also.

Right now, there is a low supply of workers leading to a shortage which means that instead of trying to hire full-time workers Ashok should try to look to different strategies in order to account for the shortage. He could do so by making opening positions for part-time workers, employ contract workers, outsource work and essentially try to reduce that gap. Ashok should have been prepared for this shortage by forecasting the firm’s demand for future employees.
