week2 EOC zippy airline catering

1. I do not know because there is not enough information. If there was information to answer the question, then there would be evidence of progress written from the changes made like “ thoroughly converted to a production-line approach”; and “ the hospitality company that purchased Zippy Airline Catering decided to re-engineer the preparation process.” “ And the speed of the conveyor belt had been calculated by the engineers who designed the system”. There is no evidence of increased progress or profit made just a half finished story about a company buying another company.
Pg 83 (15-53 Managing Hospitality Human Resources, forth edition Robert H. Woods)
2. I do not know what will happen or care for that matter either. If I had to guess I would say they would have no increase or decrease in profit but an increase in profit but it will be wasted. It would be wasted on hired people to analyze and manage more people to where they go bankrupt if there ever is a big enough change. Like changes in staff relations, financial crises, some manager stealing money, or some food borne illness in the food because of lack of planning and training when upgrading the factory. “ A conveyor belt was installed and each new employee was assigned a single task in the meal preparation. Employees now sat along either side of the conveyor and places only a single item-meat, potato, or vegetable- on the tray.” pg83 (15-53 Managing Hospitality Human Resources, forth edition Robert H. Woods)
3. Before changing anything there should have been a decant amount of research done on sanitation, new equipment, and how a faster production line would have impacted the company image, and how much money it would take to start, finish, and analyze and hire all the new people and equipment and changes so not to make a big mess of the company but actually create a better bigger branch of the company.
