In past moves, Jeannette has had trouble making sure that everything flows smoothly. She believes that there must be a method available to help her manage this office move. (a) Why are office allocations so difficult? What factors must be considered when planning an office layout? (b) Offer Jeannette a method for monitoring the office move. Explain why this method or approach would be reasonable. the packing supplies arrive, Jeannette distributes them to each individual so that packing can be done. It normally takes a week to sort and distribute supplies. Individuals pack their office items and tag their office furniture that is to be moved. They are expected to complete their packing in two weeks. After ordering the furniture, Jeannette makes arrangements for the movers to move the items, the telecommunications office to move or install telephones, and computer services to provide Inter- net hookups. The movers require three weeks notice but move the items in a single day. The phone installers demand two weeks no- tice but complete the work in one day. The computer services tech- nicians require four weeks notice and complete the hookups in one day. The final activity is moving day. All three of these groups-the movers, the phone installers, and the computer technicians-are there on the same date to minimize office disruption and mini- mize the time the office is unable to provide customer service. (c) How long should it take from the day the decision is made to move until the move is completed? Employees only work Monday through Friday. All of Jeannette's ac- tivity time estimates assume a five-day work week. (d) What are the critical activities for the timely completion of this office move? (e) What recommendations could you make to Jeannette to make this casier in the future?
