Indicate if you will work the issue, if you will delegate and what would be your delegation plan, as applicable. Use the questions and guidelines presented in class to acknowledge if the task will be delegated and explain your rationale.
• A Regulatory Agency just arrived at the facility for an audit. You are a Departmental Director and you have been contacted by the General Manager and QA Director. The issue is that you are currently in a Seminar off-site and it will take you one hour to arrive at the Manufacturing site. Would you get to the facility immediately or would you delegate the task to your functional Manager?
• You are a Manufacturing Director and there is a meeting conflict on Fridays. There are 2 meetings at the same time and you were invited to both. One meeting is for manufacturing investigations; the other meeting is related to financial plans, facility performance and back-order evaluations/reports. You need to delegate one meeting and participate in one meeting, please indicate which meeting you will delegate and which meeting you will attend, explain your rationale.
Solution
the first activity is i will assign the same work to my functional manager immideately. at the same time i will inform to the seminar organizers about the situation and starts immideately to the firm. meanwhile my subordinate will explain, help and assist with the regulatory people. he have the capabilities, in the middle i will join with them.
in this case, i will attend the meeting on the issues of manufacturing investigations, and i will assign the second task to some one else who is good at finance. in this case, as the director of my department (production), i should be there in the process. i should know what kind of issues are encoutering in my department. when it comes to finance departement and its meeting, ofcourse, it is important, but not than my own department. so, i assign the same to someone in my department who have sound knowledge in finance.
