Planning does not only consist of taking decisions on what is going to be done in the future, but also of deciding when it is going to be done. For this a timetable, or schedule, is prepared. It is then possible to monitor the progress of the plan and take appropriate action if it is behind schedule or too far ahead of it. If a plan is prepared for the launching of a new product on a certain date, there are other dates — or deadlines — in the plan by which time, for example, packaging must be designed, raw material purchased or the advertising campaign be ready. As these deadlines approach, work in one department may have to be stepped up in order to coincide with the deadlines of other departments. Timetables are particularly important when dealing with outside contractors and suppliers, since it is possible to tell them when they are behind schedule and warn them that the agreed deadline must be met. We shall now see the comprehensive timetable prepared at the head office of Fresh Frozen Foods Plc. before work is simultaneously begun on the building of two factories, with their respective offices and installations, for subsidiaries in England and Scotland. In this case the timetable is doubly important, since it is a means of2 coordinating and monitoring two major projects. approach approximam-se a means of um meio de Fresh Frozen Foods Plc. Turnaround Timetables Subject: Planning the timetables for major turnarounds involving radical restructuring. Two major turnarounds When troubleshooter Matthew Collins visited Grimsby Fish Canners, one of the two ailing UK subsidiaries, he recommended that the company should cease to exist in its present form. His solution was that the offices, factory and transport depot, all on prime land in the town of Grimsby, should be sold up and that a new factory and offices should be built a few miles away on cheaper land near the motorway. He also said that as there was no future in fish canning, the company should go over to3 frozen foods. His plan was accepted. A few weeks later Leslie Carrington, following Collins' example, made similar recommendations for the ailing Scottish company Perth Tinned Meat. Here again offices, factory and transport depot occupying a prime site in the town would be sold up and the company would be moved to Craigenad, a few miles outside. There being no future in meat canning, the company would go over to frozen foods. His plan was accepted. The similarity of the solutions to the problems of the two companies together with the fact that their radical restructuring would take place simultaneously meant that a carefully worked-out4 timetable would have to be prepared at head office in order to allow the maximum amount of supervision and avoidance5 of mistakes. Wherever possible the same contractors would be employed. In this way costs would be kept down. A coordination team was set up at head office to help in the planning and to monitor the progress of these major turnarounds. Designing the factories and offices The Group’s most modern factory is the one built at Cambridge and opened in 1987. The factory and offices were designed by Harley, Rawthorne & Partners, a Cambridge firm of architects specializing in industrial designs. It was decided that they should design the new installations for Grimsby and Perth. As there would be little need for variation, the same design would serve for both projects. This would mean a substantial saving in cost. The same electrical contractor, for example, would do the work on both sites. As the work would be identical, it would be correspondingly easier to carry it out. Estimates were requested from contractors in Scotland and England with the result that Scottish contractors would be doing some of the work on the two sites and English companies would be contracted to do different work. On-site administration Within one month of the work being started there were temporary offices installed on the sites. A staff of two was transferred from Grimsby to the site on the Elsham Industrial Estate next to junction 5 of the M180 motorway (18 3 go over to passar a 4 worked-out calculado 5 avoidance evitação Notes on the Text foundations alicerces wind down production baixar a producao Key business words Comments on key structures • Note the phrase there was no future in fish canning — nao havia futuro em enlatatar pescado. • Note that when a proper noun ends in an s we may use s' or s's in the possessive. Compare: Collins' example, Collins's report, Jones' report, Jones's letter. • Note that moved is very often used instead of transferred because it is shorter. From this we also have moves for transfers. • Note the verb to keep down in costs would be kept down — os custos ficariam sob controle. To keep costs down is the same as to prevent costs from going up. • Note the use of partners (sócios) in the name of the architects Harley, Rawsthorne and Partners. It is common for lawyers to work as partners as well, so that a firm of solicitors might be Welham, Bingley, Foley & Partners. • Note that on receipt means on receiving — contra recibo, contra entrega. • Note the very common US expression to keep your options open. In business it is sometimes more convenient to leave making a decision until the last possible moment; this is leaving your options open until the last possible moment. • Note that when capital letters are used in Production, Personnel or Marketing etc. it indicates the department. Compare: l telephoned the production department - I telephoned Production. He works in the personnel department - He works in Personnel. • Note that contingency refers to the unexpected. A contingency plan is a plan prepared in case the unexpected happens. In the case of the contingency timetable of Archie Kennedy, this is a mixture of ideas that have come late and plans made in case anything goes wrong with the main timetable. Choosing a Site for a New Factory As may be seen from a quick glance at the map on page 676 there are many advantages to having a food processing factory on the industrial estate at Elsham. First there is the cost: it is much cheaper than in the centre pr even the outskirts of a large town like Grimsby, the site of the present factory. Then comes access to the motorway network. Elsham is by the side of the entrance to the M180. Then comes source of raw material. Elsham is perfectly situated on the topmost edge of the rich Lincolnshire farmlands. Finally, the market: the whole of the industrial north is within easy reach along the motorway network. Large towns like Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester and Liverpool are all conveniently placed for deliveries of the products that will come out of the Elsham factory. 679
