Q Memo Background The Big Chief plant has just hired Mike Sims as a production manager. Although Sims has three years of experience in the field, this is his first managerial position. He is college educated and very excited about this new opportunity. On his first day at work, the company’s vice president asks Sims to write a memo introducing himself to the fifty production workers he will be supervising. Sims’s memo is included below. 1. Study the old memo below and write comments in the text on the issues with the message (such as sentence structure (active versus passive), specific word choice, tone and point of view, and general professional writing goals). Keep in mind who Sims’s primary audience and purpose are. 2. Thoroughly revise Sims’s poorly written memo (on the same document and after the original document with your comments). Be sure to correctly and thoroughly apply all of the strategies for effective technical writing. You may change the wording of sentences and even rewrite the entire memo. Focus on the memo’s central message and purpose (as stated above in the “Memo Background” section.) Due: by 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, January 27, 2022. ________________________________________ (Original Memo) To: All Big Chief Floor Workers Date: September 29, 2020 From: Mr. Mike Sims, Production Manager Re: New Procedures This memo shall open by expressing the author’s exhilaration concerning the tremendous opportunity afforded to him as the new production manager for Big Chief. Employees will find the author’s management style emphasizes the implementation of optimum operationalization, which, of course, leads to ultimate productivity and fiscal liquidity! Promotion of an effective working environment, based on the latest principles of Total Quality Management, will help launch the Big Chief name to the top of our industrial milieu. As part of the new TQM strategy, a new, more open worker-manager communication strategy has been implemented, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. Issues or suggestions may now be brought to the management’s attention via two avenues: a cork-product bulletin board in the break room and direct, interactive appointment. Suggestions may be anonymously posted in the break room as the board will be used as an interactive, division-wide interchange, with employees and the manager being offered the chance to interface in a public forum. The procedures for using the appointed board are as follows: Obtain an anonymous suggestions form from the author’s secretary. Scribe the date and subject of the suggestion in the top lines provided on the form. Then legibly print the issue at hand within the parameters of the space thus provided. Commentary which is illegible will be disregarded. Employees who wish to discuss an issue with management directly may also do so via person-to-person appointment. Fifteen minute appointments will be available for assignment each Friday during the production worker lunch hour (12:00-1:00). These should be taken advantage of if any private dilemmas are of concern. Participants should COME PREPARED. Running head: EXERCISE 2
