Functions of Management
Planning in an organization means developing a goal, specifying ahead of time what actions are require and what course of actions must take to achieve final goals or objectives. We must analyze our current situations and decide what course of action to take. Once we are in the planning mode, it is like answering each question of what will 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 solution just in case they are encountered. One of the most important management function used in organization is planning. In this paper we will speak of deploying forces. We will cover all the 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 can 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 their technical and tactical needs, and then we plan for their training, schools, etc. Once all their training is complete their ready to deploy overseas. In the logistics department we have to plan for all their logistical needs, from uniforms to weapons, every piece of equipment needed that will facilitate them to do their job. This will also require us to analyze our current on hand inventory and funding. Do we have enough gear on hand? 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 their training, deployment, and avoid us missing something important.
Organizing is assembling two or more responsible...
