Executive Summary

by Dos Equis

�Dos Equis� originated from a random selection of cards that were distributed amongst the class. After given instructions, the group of seven individuals got together at the break of class and came up with the name of the group. The group began the process evaluating diverse businesses and their processes that could be improved for better efficiency. The Dos Equis group concluded that Sons of Athens would be the focus of the group project. After brainstorming, the group decided that the focus of the Man 320 project would be an organization consideration. One of the individuals of the group met with the owner of Sons of Athens and a couple of the front counter employees about the way the employees were scheduled to work and how many hours each week. Now that the group had a process to improve, the group began coming up with the negative aspects to having no official schedule for a certain number of employees (the waitresses that work behind the front counter). The group then came up with possible solutions and different possible schedules that would conform to both the owner�s schedule as well as the employee�s schedule. While the group was coming up with solutions, Dos Equis group also implemented ways to save money and cut back the number of employees by evaluating Sons of Athens busiest work hours. The arrangement of the presentation was done by Cliff Oliver, Byron Marshall, Brooke Roberts, and Dan Mathews. Paper was written by Cliff Oliver as well as writitng the executive summary. The web site was created by Keith Willby. The power point charts, graphs, and tables were arranged by Jon Highan and Cliff Oliver, while other vital administrative responsibilities were handled by Dan Mathews, Byron Marshall, Brooke Roberts, and Yuichi Yamazaki.
