Read critically and analyze the following scenario:

The next meeting of the Strategic Planning Committee for Biotech is scheduled for next week. All of the VP’s will be there and a report must be given by all as to the viability of the Boomer 1 roll out and the success or failure of the long-term goals and objectives.

Miller reviewed his meeting notes with his branch managers when the production results came out. The most important conclusions mentioned below are presented to the team:

Most all the managers seem to feel that the project was well worth the effort.

The most significant problem was the lack of space on the production floor.

Los Lunas and Sao Paulo managers indicated that they had floor space issues and quality control was the most significant issue because of the level of heat in the plant.

The standard had been met by everyone.

Three of the plants reported morale problems with older workers wanting to be trained for the higher paying line jobs.

Step 10:  Potential Concerns

Prepare a report for Keith to present to the planning team:

Use the conclusions drawn by Miller from the Manager’s Meeting (noted above).

Task 1: Identify at least three conclusions that have potential concern for the long-term future of the project and or company. Explain why and how each of the factors identified would affect the future long-term strategic planning;

Task 2: Explain the relationship between the control process and long-term planning;

Task 3: Provide at least two recommendations for solutions to address the implications of the factors chosen. Explain why these recommendations are viable and would be an effective solution.
