Why is human engineering important in food service facilities design?2. What is likely to happen if the design has poor human engineering?

/in /by

To complete this assignment, you will need to observe the work processes at an operating food service facility. Examples of possible facilities include a restaurant, a catered event, food truck, a DFAC, or military field unit. For the task, you will need to either be able to observe the area or ask questions of managers or supervisors. You will need to observe how well the design reflects the principles of flexibility/modularity, simplicity, flow, ease of sanitation, ease of supervision, and efficiency.

If unable to obtain permission, use the library and following link to Food service Equipment and Supplies magazine website to complete the writing.

In your writing, use your visit or website research to address the following;

1. Why is human engineering important in food service facilities design?2. What is likely to happen if the design has poor human engineering?3. What is the design principle of flow and what would be included when considering the financial cost of violating the design principle of flow?4. What would you identify as strengths and weaknesses in relation to human engineering and flow?

If making a site visit, it is suggested that you organize your observation by “following the food” through the operation: starting with receiving, through storage, pre-preparation, final preparation, service, and ware washing (skip dining). Look for instances where the design principles are fulfilled and instances where they are violated. If permissible on site, you may find it helpful to talk to employees about their work. Ask them to show you what they do in a step-by-step process. Look for points where they have to bend over, walk off to find a needed utensil, or reach on their tip-toes. Also, observe the immediate work area – are things where they need to be?

NOTE: You do not need to be on site for hours at a time, the manager or a representative should be able to provide you with a “walk-trough”.

Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to APA (6th edition) style and formatting.
Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.

Explain situations in which you believe it would be beneficial to send the message via e-mail or text message? Explain your response with examples.

A successful franchise owner of a prestigious sporting

goods chain is feeling the effects of technology,

with more and more online sales and less and less

and typically each store needs the following positions

staffed for optimum profitability and success: a store

manager, an assistant manager, five department

managers, and 20 customer service representatives,

averaging $1 200 000 in annual revenue. However,

there has been a trend of 20 percent sales decline in

stores, with an increase of 30 percent sales online (last

year the online revenue stream was $300 000). The

franchise owner was able to handle all of the online

sales with a team 0£ five full-time remote workers

(working from hon1e) last year.

The owner wants each store to maintain their

productivity, which he measures as the revenue per

employee. He also thinks that there is potential to

grow the online business.

Please help the owner by answering the follov.ring

questions.

1 Using your HR planning expertise, forecast the

demand of la hour in the stores and the online

2 Assuming an annual 15 percent turnover level of

in-store workers and a 30 percent turnover level

of online-focused employees, determine HR supply

estimates over the next three years.

Develop a clear plan to help address the forecast

labour shortage or surplus.

We will be using research efforts to complete the assignment. Refer to https://www.bls.gov/ooh/ to identify and collect needed data/basic information about a registered nurse’s position. Utilize to the A-Z Index to access information on registered nurses.

Then, use the following website to create your own structure-based analysis: www.onetonline.org. Follow the steps listed below for the www.onetonline.org website to access the needed information.

  1. Search www.onetonline.org.
  2. Go to the Occupation Search section.
  3. Enter the keyword (registered nurse) or the O*NET-SOC code.
  4. Click the arrow.
  5. Identify/record code for registered nurses.
  6. Click Registered Nurses.
  7. View the report.
  8. Click the Custom tab at the top of the page. (Note: You will customize/select your own job analysis specifics based on the job and person-based specifics.)
  9. Check the appropriate boxes (see below for required information).
  10. Click GO.

Once the data is collected, complete an eight- to 10-slide PowerPoint presentation about the job-based and person-based structure needed for the registered nurse’s position.

The following information should be identified in the PowerPoint presentation:

  • education,
  • credentials,
  • KSAs,
  • tasks,
  • work activities and detailed work activities,
  • technology skills,
  • tools used,
  • wages, and
  • an explanation of what a job analysis is and its purpose.

As you create the content slides for your presentation, be sure to use the speaker notes function to explain the content in detail for each of the slides. Imagine you are presenting to your company leaders.

Note: Keep the 6×6 PowerPoint rule in mind (i.e., slides should only include six to seven lines of content with no more than six to seven words per line). Any illustrations should relate to the content being discussed. Be creative!

Include a title slide and references slide in your presentation; however, please keep in mind that these do not count toward meeting the minimum slide requirement.
