Managerial Project Part 1
Xena Corporation is a private corporation formed for the purpose of providing
the products and the services needed to irrigate farms, parks, commercial projects,
and private homes. It has a centrally located factory in a U.S. city that manufactures the
products it markets to retail outlets across the nation. It also maintains a division that
provides installation and warranty servicing in six metropolitan areas.
The mission of Xena is to manufacture quality parts that can be used for effective
irrigation projects that also conserve water. By that effort, the company hopes to satisfy
its customers, provide rapid and responsible service, and serve the community and
a. the employees who represent them in each community.
The company has been growing rapidly, so management is considering new ideas to
help the company continue its growth and maintain the high quality of its products.
Xena was founded by Bill Thomas who is the company president and chief
executive officer (CEO). Working with him from the company’s inception was Bill’s brother,
John, whose sprinkler designs and ideas about the installation of proper systems have been
a major basis of the company’s success. John is the vice president who oversees all aspects
of design and production in the company. The factory itself is managed by Rich Sharron who hires his
line managers to supervise the factory employees. The factory makes all of the parts for the irrigation
systems. The purchasing department is managed by Dennis Silver.
The installation and training division is overseen by vice president Henry Writer, who
supervises the managers of the six local installation operations. Each of these local managers
hires his or her own local service people. These service employees are trained by the home
office under Henry Writer’s direction because of the uniqueness of the company’s products.
There is a small Human Resources department under the direction of Deb Delaney,
a vice president who handles the employee paperwork, though hiring is actually performed
by the separate departments. Sam Totter is the vice president who heads the sales
and marketing area; he oversees 10 well-trained salespeople.
The accounting and finance division of the company is headed by Martin Heath, who
is the chief financial officer (CFO) and a company vice president; he is a member of the
Institute of Management Accountants and holds a certificate in management accounting.
He has a small staff of Certified Public Accountants, including a controller and a treasurer,
and a staff of accounting input operators who maintain the financial records.
