The management of company F Ltd now, realised its folly. In order to rectify the situation, it appointed a management consultant M consultants' to recommend a restructure plan to bring the company back on the rails. M consultants undertook a study of the production process at the plant of the company F Ltd and recommended the following changes:
1. The company should introduce scientific management with regard to production
2. Production planning including routing, scheduling, dispatching and feedback should be implemented 3. In order to separate planning from operational management, functional foremanship' should be introduced.
4. Work study should be undertaken to optimise the use of resources.
5. Standardisation' of all activities should be implemented to increase efficiency and accountability.
6. To motivate the workers differential piece rate system should be implemented.
7. The above changes should be introduced apart from the steps recommended in case problem (as an answer to question number 3 of that case problem)
It was expected that the changes will bring about a radical transformation in the working of the company and it will regain its pristine glory.
What precautions should the company undertake to implement the changes?
