PROBLEM STATEMENT
Many employees complain about the lunch conditions they are
at the moment in regards to their lunchtimes aand the safety
they hope to have while dinning in the cafeteria. Employees are
also experiencing problems with the food, because the menu
only offers only three different foodsentrees. Safety has been a
constant issue for most of them employees, because they do not
want to be disturbed while enjoying their meals.Comment by
David Alan Coia: Perhaps you can clarify what you mean by
"safety" here.
OVERVIEW OF ALTERNATIVES
Alternative 1 –LUNCHTIME CHANGE: This will involve

changing the company food menu and allowing for a wider
variety of food to be served in the cafeteria. Most of the

of such change is that will make increae employee s more
enthusiasmtic about working for the company.
Alternative 3 –ENFORCING THE SAFETY AND HYGENE IN
THE CAFETARIA: The enforcement of safety rules for of
workers in this placethe cafeteria is important, because as many
of thememployees use the cafeteria as a place to relax before
going back to their respective tasks. Making sure they are well
protected from any harm is important. Another important choice
thing to consider is making ensureing that food are is cooked in
front of the workers, so they will know that it is prepared in the
4. most hygiene hygienic of circumstances.Comment by David
Alan Coia: Again, what harm can their be I the cafeteria? See
note four.
CRITERIA
There were criteria used by John Company to evaluate the
viability of the alternatives, but some proved to be more
important, for example: . Here are the most important
criteria’s:Comment by David Alan Coia: Use active voice.
Costs –The Company would like to provide the an improved
cafeteria menu, but it must will keep consider the costs
associated with in considerationimprovements throughout the
whole process, because the budget is as, it is running on a tight
budget this year.
Safety and Health – The cafeteria menu should be diverse for so
employees to may enjoy different types of food.

findings and analysis were of assistance in crafting this

6. Second part of assignment
In Part 1 of your Justification Report assignment, you built up
the following sections: Problem Statement, Overview of
Alternatives, Criteria, and Methods. In Part 2, you will revise
Part 1 based on your instructor's suggestions and add to it the
following sections: Evaluation of Alternatives, Findings and
Analysis, and References.
Use the basic outline below to draft your paper. Organize your
responses to each question under the following section
headings:
· Evaluation of Alternatives (for Questions 1-3)
· Findings and Analysis (for Questions 4-5)
· References (for Question 6)
Write a two (2) page, single-spaced report in which you:
1. Research the two (2) alternatives (i.e. possible solutions) that
you've identified in your Part 1 Evaluation of Alternatives
section. Record bibliographic information during research.
a. Example: You might research other organizations that have
attempted similar solutions to the problem you have identified
and explore the results of those experiments.
2. Use what you discover in your research to evaluate each
7. alternative by each of your five (5) criteria.
a. Example: If your research revealed that four companies
similar to yours increased productivity after allowing their
workers to telework from home three days per week, you might
conclude that one of your suggested alternatives – in this case,
the option to telework from home three days per week –
satisfies one of your criterion of “Productivity” as a high-
potential solution to a problem you’ve identified (of decreased
worker morale and productivity at Doe’s Electronics). However,
additional research might frustrate a recommendation of this
alternative if it is found to fall short of other criteria while a
second alternative fares better. For instance, a telework
alternative might be found to be too costly to implement; too
frustrating for consumers who prefer daily, in-person customer
service; or too divergent from the company’s brand, “Always
there for you!”�
3. Organize the assignment by your criteria. Explain in narrative
form how each of your two (2) alternatives stacks up against
your first criterion. Next, explain how each alternative stacks up
against your second criterion, etc.
a. Example: An abbreviated outline of what this longer section
might look like based on the above example is below (Note:
Only the first two [2] of five [5] required criteria are included
to give you a feel for the structure). Your researched findings,
represented as circled bullets below, should be explained in two
8. to five (2-5) sentences. Include in-text citations and follow up
with References in APA style):

1. Include an APA style (6th edition) References page that
10. documents the two (2) sources (minimum) that you used and

included (to avoid plagiarism) whenever you are directly
quoting, summarizing, or paraphrasing researched material.
