Personnel Management - An Overview Notes free

Introduction:

     Personnel Management is concerned with the effective use of the skills of people. They may be sales people in a store, clerks in an office, operators in a factory, or technicians in a research laboratory. In a business, personnel management starts with the recruiting and hiring of qualified people and continues with directing and encouraging their growth as they encounter problems and tensions that arise in working towards established goals. In addition to recruiting and hiring, some of the responsibilities of a personnel manager are, 

• To classify jobs and prepare wage and salary scales.
• To advice employees.
• To deal with labour unions and service union contracts.
• To develop safety standards and practices.
• To manage benefit programs, such as group insurance, health, and retirement plans.
• To provide for periodic reviews of the performance of each individual employee, and for recognition of his or her strengths and needs for further development.
• To assist individuals in their efforts to develop and qualify for more advanced jobs.
• To plan and supervise training programs.
• To keep abreast of developments in personnel management.

     To understand the personnel management's job consider the following examples of challenging employee situations.

     The firm's employee - especially the most qualified ones - can get comparable, if not better jobs with other employers.
     When a firm faces a scarcity of supervisory and specialized personnel with adequate experience and job capabilities, it has to train and develop its own people. This can be time consuming and expensive.
     The cost of hiring and training employees at all levels is increasing, for instance, several thousand rupees for a salesperson. A mistake in hiring or in slow and inefficient methods of training can be costly.
     Personnel managers must comply with the law by employing, training and promoting women and persons from minority groups. The problem in doing so is that employees have not had appropriate experience and education in the past.
    Most employees, whether or not represented by labour unions, continue to seok improvements in direct compensation, employee benefits, and working conditions. All commitments must be based upon what the firm can afford, comply with current practices of other employers, and be understood and accepted by the employee. To do this, all employee policies and operating procedures should be developed and negotiated with great care.
     Some employees may not perform satisfactory simply because their firm offers competitive compensation, benefits and working conditions. In addition to these financial or physical, compensations, they want responsibility, the opportunity to develop, and recognition of accomplishment in their jobs.

Quality Plan Notes for CEM

Introduction:

     A quality plan is a document, or several documents, that together specify quality standards, practices, resources, specifications, and the sequence of activities relevant to a particular product, service, project, or contract. Present development in the all fields of people activities is connected with increased requirement for product quality. Totally essential influence on products quality belongs to quality planning. According to terminological standard of ISO 9000's standards family quality planning is defined as "part of quality management focused on setting quality objectives and specifying necessary operational processes and related resources to fulfill the quality objectives". Quality planning represents many of activities, which decide about resulting quality.

For example these partial activities are included in quality planning:

• Quality objectives identification and their development in organization.
• Product quality characteristics planning (the development of products, Which meet customer and other stakeholder) reguirements.
• Quality plan processing.
• Planning of methods, which will be used for achievement of required product quality.
• Processes quality planning (the development of products, which will be able to assure required product quality and their capability verification).
• Preventive of ways of product and process quality measurement and monitoring.
• Measurement systems planning and their suitability verification.
• Planning of data collection and needed quality records, etc...

At the highest level, quality goals and plans should be integrated with overall strategic plans of the organization. As organizational objectives and plans are deployed throughout the organizational, each function fashions its own best way for contributing to the top-level goals and objectives.

At lower levels, the quality plan assumes the role of an actionable plan. Such plans may take many different forms depending on the outcome they are to produce. Quality plans may also be represented by more than one type of document to produce a given outcome.

An example of this is a manufacturing company that machines metal parts. Its quality plan consists of applicable procedures (describing the production process and responsibilities), applicable workmanship standards, the measurement tolerances acceptable, the description of the material standards, and so forth. These may all be separate documents.

An operational-level quality plan translates the customer requirements (the what) into actions required to produce the desired outcome (the how) and couples this applicable procedures, standards, practices, and protocols to specify what is needed , who will do it, and how it will be done. A control plan may specify product tolerances, testing parameters, and acceptance criteria. While the terminology may differ, the basic approach is similar for service and other types of organizations.

     Quality planning is realized especially in pre-production phases. Activities in these phases decide about customer satisfaction, product competitiveness and organization profit. While in the past production phase was regarded as key phase for product quality, at present it is generally recognized, that pre-production phases contribute to final product quality approximately by eighty percent. This state is considerably influenced by the increasing complexity of present products and used technologies, competitive market conditions and enhanced customer requirements.

Responsibility and Authority Notes Free

     Top management must establish the organization and must define the structure, hierarchy and lines of reporting. Additionally, it must ensure that duties, responsibilities and authority of all personnel are defined and communicated. All personnel must be clear on their duties, responsibilities and authority in meeting customer and regulatory requirements.

     Organization chats, job description, procedures, work instructions, ect, are some of the many ways that top  management may use to define and document this. These must be communicated and deployed, as applicable, throughout the organization. Orientation packages; appointment posting; sign-off on job descriptions; training on procedures and work instructions, etc, are some of the many ways in accomplishing this.

     The organization structure and lines of reporting; responsibility and authority of managerial functions and departments may be established by top management and the responsibilities and authorities for the rest of the organization may be established by the HR function working with various owners. Again, this would depend on the size, complexity and culture of the organization.

     At all levels in the company, responsibility and authority of the job positions are defined through organizational charts, job descriptions and department's missions. These documents are available throughout the organization to help employees to be aware of their duties and reporting.

     Organizational charts have been established to show the interrelation of personnel in the organization and are presented in the quality manual.

     Job descriptions are defining the responsibilities and authorities of each position in the company and are reviewed and approved for compliance by General Manager.

Responsibility of the Management Representative

     The General Manager of the company is fully committed to organize the company to achieve business and organization goals, vision and objectives. He is also responsible to ensure measurement and evaluation on a continuous basis and to establish measures to improve the management system.

     In this process, all internal and external sources are monitored in order to adapt the management system of the company, strongly focusing on developing strategies in improving the levels of quality and quantity.

     He designates Department Managers with the authority and responsibility for supervise and manage the overall performance of staff in the department.

     The General Manager is designating the Quality Manager with the authority and independence to manage and to be responsible for the development, implementation and maintenance of the quality assurance program.

     General Manager is assigned to be the management representative and has additional responsibility and authority for a better administration of the company's Quality Management System. His job description sets in a transparent manner the role of management representative.

Social and Environmental Factors Considered for Quality Development Notes

     Product analysis is the process of identifying, looking at or disassembling a product and identifying its main features. The aim is to understand more about a product and improveit in the future.

     Some of the factors that affect the development of the product are

Cost

     The cost of the product and labour required to manufacture the product. The price potential customers are prepared to pay for the product.

Ergonomics

     The product may be designed for human use. It is the science and art of fitting the work place.

Materials

     The availability of the materials and the development of new, hi-technology materials will have an influence on the final of the product.

Customer requirement

     The customer will have an influence over the way the product id designed and developed. As a product is designed it is normal for potential customers to be questioned about the type of product or design that they prefer. For ex, when design a mobile phone a design team will show potential customers several designs and make changes according to their likes and dislikes.

Industrial production

     All products are manufactures through one of the following manufacturing techniques Single item Beach Production.

Continuous production

     When designing a product the most desirable production techniques may influence thew way the final product looks.

Company Identity

     The product may have to display the company image. Most companies are proud of their public image. This may determine the colour scheme, applied to the product, the way it looks or even the materials that are used in its manufacture.

Aesthetics

     The shape and form of the product may determine the layout of circuits or mechanisms etc., inside it. Product are often designed to look stylish. The style applied to the outside of the product can quite easily influence the technology inside it. Aesthetics can also alter the production or manufacturing techniques through which it is made.

Fashion

     The fashion of the time influences the design of product, usually people want to buy up to date items not based on last years look.

Culture

     Some products are aimed at different cultures and countries a product acceptable in one culture may be looked up one as offensive or less desirable in another. The use of colours and colour scheme are good example.

Functions

     The number of functions a product has to perform will inevitably affect its design. Exactly what is the product going to do.

Environment

     Many people are concerned about their environmental and the damages to it caused by industrial production. When designing a product it may be wise to ensure that the materials can be recycled or the product itself can be manufactured from a large proportion of recycled material.
