Methodology Through benchmark comparisons and contrasts with another leading manufacture's model the Combi was evaluated for its efficiency, ease of operation, operating costs, safety features and ability to recoup its purchase price. A plan of its quick installation and in-depth training has been detailed within the report. Its installation will minimally disrupt the residents and flow of work in the facility. The ease and safety of cleaning and maintaining its performance has been encapsulated in a maintenance plan. 4Installation Plan The removal of the existing convection oven and pending installation of the Rational Combi will be in accordance with an installation time schedule (see appendix). The existing oven is central to the ongoing business and a necessity for the daily preparation of all hot foods. Therefore, two contingency plans have been developed to address the need for the even during installation and any prolonged delays in its installation. During installation an alternative menu plan will alleviate any demand for the use of the oven for food preparation. The alternative menu plan will be put into effect the day of and the following day if necessary. It will utilize other pieces kitchen equipment to produce a suitable menu for the residents (see appendix). In the event of a prolonged delay in installation an emergency contingency menu plan will be activated. The emergency contingency menu plan will be in place for the duration of the installation and until its fully operational. Power interruptions have been accounted for during installation by careful planning prior to installation. All necessary electrical work was completed during the twelve days prior to installation. The power interruption the day of installation will be minimal with only a thirty-minute period of interruption. The interruption will take place after lunch service during off peak times for kitchen preparation. Maintenance Plan Maintenance for the Combi is streamlined and can be easily performed by trained facility staff. The required maintenance for the Combi has been divided into two distinct categories- One category represents the work to be completed by certified Rational technicians. The second category addresses maintenance to be performed by in house by trained staff. Rational staff will conduct the maintenance training the following day of installation. The required maintenance performed by Rational technicians is categorized by service faults indicated on the Combi's display panel (see appendix}. Rational customer service support center and local certied technicians are available seven days a week. A facility maintenance plan has been developed to include all necessary service to be performed by the facility's authorized staff [see appendix}. The facilities maintenance and kitchen staff is to be trained by Rational technicians during the training session as part of the purchase plan. The maintenance plan has been divided into two categories maintenance as required and daily cleaning and maintenance.

March 27, 2020 To: Mr. Dalton McGinty and Mr. George Smitherman From: Albert Ramen Subject: Replacement of the Cleveland Convection Oven EXECUTIVE SUMNIARY Recommendation I request you approve the release of funds for the purchase of a Rational Combi CPC 61, as it will greatly benet the facility. Provided with the Combi, our foodservice department will exceed its goals of quality assurance and scal responsibility. Its use will capture the facility's strategic initiatives to deliver exceptional experiences for our residents and staff. Problem Seven Oaks Long Term Care facility, located in the heart of downtown Burlington. is a one hundred-bed resident facility and community outreach center for seniors. Over the years it has set the standard in senior's care in the community. It has consistently achieved its vision statement to deliver exceptional experiences for the residents and staff. The facility's foodservice department's mission is to exceed the standard in quality, and service. which of late it has struggled with. The main reason for not meeting the standard is aging equipment especially the seventeen-year-old convection oven. A recent audit of its performance indicates it is no longer nancially feasible to operate and due for replacement because of: - Maintenance and Repairs Over the last two years there's been a steady increase in maintenance repairs, which has resulted in an increase of twenty seven percent to the department. Numerous thermal recalibrations and most recently the replacement of the door's spring locking system have exceeded the budget allowances. - Operation Cost Fluctuations in the oven's cooking and holding temperatures have caused a 12% increase in food cost due to loss and spoilage. The oven's continuous use has measurably decreased it efciency and power conservation by thirty percent. Based on the age and the current condition of the oven, the costs of maintenance and operation will only increase with time. - Customer Satisfaction inadequate cooking and holding temperatures have resulted in poor quality products, increased resident complaints, and revenue loss.
