Diagnosing the cause of the organizational challenge

Various departments exist with Riverwood for instance, and collaboration, for instance, was possible through a TPS. The system should also be secure since it can as well through the company down the drain. Human resource management faces challenges addressing conflicts which arise due to communication. Collaboration through a system will make it possible to communicate effectively. Moreover, risk assessment is possible, which mitigates dangers relates to operations. 3 Porter five forces 11 1. 4 VUCA analysis 13 1. 6 Internal analysis 14 1. 1 SWOT ANALYSIS 14 1. 7 The future of supply chain 15 1. In fact, lack of these strategies forms part of the elephant in the room, making it impossible to reach the ultimate goal. Riverwood is the best example for the case study. 2 Organizational strategic issue The strategic issue can be external or internal.

The organization is tasked to find out the particular type which limits growth and ultimate success. In most instances, controlling the external strategies is impossible. It is apparent that logistics performance management affects nearly every organization in the contemporary society (Beske and Seuring 2014, p. It is the role of the professionals to consider every stumbling block an opportunity in meeting the ultimate success of the premise. Having a real-time information system is a thing which Riverwood failed to give much consideration. Instead, the company spent a lot of resources educating the internal personnel on how to move products. Trax Technologies is one of the firms which benefits from such real-time technologies in a number of ways (Lundu and Shale 2015, p. Riverwood had a number of weaknesses, which should be addressed instantly (Touboulic and Walker 2015, p.

Failure to realize growth, and have the right measures to monitor performance shows a limitation in meeting the ultimate growth demands. Ideally, the human person within the premise knew that having such a system into consideration will offer a competitive differentiator (Lundu and Shale 2015, p. The team went ahead to remain adamant on the existing services, which is the main reason for the limit of growth in the contemporary space. Human expertise is all that is needed to ensure growth. The human expertise is currently demanding a lot, which might interfere with the ultimate growth of the organization. Having a comprehensive exploration of the case is therefore mandatory to achieve the necessary growth. As the organization grow, it is evident that the core value became diluted.

That indicates the focus on profitability. Ideally, it is the role of every organization to make profits. In fact, the GDP has been on the rise from 2015. The country focuses on the exportation of various components. That makes it possible to grow the various sectors of the economy. Recently, the decline in the level of exports to China remains a major concern. The government is working around the clock to increase public investment rate in the region. Human resource is considered volatile within an organization. Riverwood is on the verge of losing the competent employees once they are not in a position to obtain the enumerations that they want. Productivity normally inclines on the motivation from the staff, and money should not be the main drive.

Social The manner in which an organization co-exist in any space is imperative. Singapore currently enjoys a number of social innovation strategies which makes it possible to scale key operations (Fahimnia, Sarkis and Davarzani 2015, p. The organization should consider the size as well as the goals before selecting the best metrics (Govindan, Azevedo, Carvalho and Cruz-Machado 2014, p. Total travel time, as well as customer service complaints, are some of the metrics that Riverwood should consider to meet customer demands. Lack of the measures makes it an uphill task reducing the operating cost. Moreover, it remains a daunting task to drive the necessary values as well as enhancing stakeholders’ value. Technological Technology is needed to spearhead the growth of any given premise.

However, adaptability was neglected, and that is the reason for the limited conformity with the current demands of the market. That limits customer satisfaction, which is likely to thwart the future success of the organization. Again, a consideration should be made on the fact that software might fail to integrate with the existing hardware components (Pagell and Shevchenko 2014, p. That can limit operations. The ability to have the performance management strategy into consideration will offer solutions to such concerns using limited resources. In fact, the focus was on scaling various sectors, and that is currently haunting the success of the organization. Technology will keep changing, and the management should have the right expertise to handle the rising demands. Environmental Singapore currently have complications regarding its environment.

In fact, the environment is contaminated, which stands as the main reason for the extinction of various species. The loss of close to 30 percent of the mangrove area is one of the evidence for the concern. The following are some of the steps initiated to make the premise competitive: • Banking on the existing employee base to initiate growth • Benchmarking with other firms to understand what is missing in the market • Focusing on the end user to embrace satisfaction • Allocating resources one the priority basis to ensure the success of key processes Strategic management as well as marketing is helpful in achieving the necessary growth within Riverwood. At any given point in time, it is the role of the organization to use the most effective tools in achieving such processes.

3 Porter five forces A comprehensive analysis of the market strategies is also helpful in having a better understanding of the market demands. In most instances, the focus should be on a better placement of strategies to make the firm successful. Threats of new entrance The firm currently operates in a competitive space. Rivalry among existing competitors The United States is a free market. However, it has certain restrictions which thwart unnecessary competition. That is the main reason for the existing growth noted in the premise. At any given point in time, the focus should be on effective strategies to ensure the firm thrives in any given instance. 4 VUCA analysis Volatility: Supply change experiences drastic changes. It is at the core of planning for an organization to have a structure which foster growth at any given point.

That is the only aspect which is lacking in the premise. However, it is possible to restructure the process and make it possible for the venture to achieve the ultimate goal (Monczka et al. 2015, p. Making the organization a going concern should stand out in most occasions. These aspects are crucial in promoting customer responsiveness, which ultimately results in an increase in revenue. Most companies should this approach to competing fairly. However, Riverwood failed to integrate the concept in their operations, which stands as the main reason for poor customer service. The premise was profit-centric. Technology can at times limit the growth of the organization (Rogers and Lee 2016, p. The utilization of sophisticated systems such as gesture recognition can help in thwarting incidences of mismanagement.

Imagine if the self-drive vehicles? How possible can that reduce the manpower needed in an organization? Premises like Riverwood had people-centric management for instance. That is the main reason for the high expenses. Embracing AI in the organization will cut on cost while improving efficiency (Sharma, Saxena, Vagrecha, 2015, p. Customer satisfaction is likely to rise in the process, which further gives the organization a competitive edge. That helps in detecting errors at the right time. Close operation among the stakeholders is also possible, which improves on communication. 8 Conclusion The current business space is uncertain making is prudent for firms to have strategies for addressing customer demands. Customers have high expectations, and the competitor will always strive to offer better and cheaper products.
