Functions of Management
Planning in an organization means developing a goal, specifying ahead of time what actions are require and what course of actions we must take to achieve our final goals or objective. We must analyze our current situations and decide what course of action to take. Once we are in the planning mode, it is like having to answer each question of what is going to happen every time we complete a step, and to figure out what will happen in our next step. We must analyze and anticipate setbacks, obstructions, and we must have a solutions just incase they are encounter. Planning is one of the most important management function used in our organization. We have meetings every week, were we discuss short and long term planning goals. In this paper we will only speak of our deploying forces. We cover in our planning every aspects required in to support our deploying forces in the states and overseas. We have different department planning for every movement that they do from the moment they mobilized to active duty, until they get demobilized, and send back home. From the moment they arrive we start preparing them physically and mentally, this will help them face any situation and achieve the organizations goal. We must analyze there technical and tactical needs, then we plan for there training, schools, etc.. Once all there training is complete they are ready to deployed overseas. In the logistics department we have to plan for all there logistical needs, from uniforms to weapons, every piece of equipment needed that will facilitate them to do the job efficiently and effectively. This will also require us to analyze our current on hand inventory and funding. Do we have enough gear on hand? and Do we have the funding available to purchase our shortages?. We have a pre-printed matrix that guides and helps us check everything that they will need to get them all the way through there training, deployment, and avoid us missing something important....
