Question:

Waterways Corporation is a private company providing irrigation and drainage products and services for residential, commercial, and public sector projects, including farms, parks, and sports fields. It has a plant located in a small city north of Toronto that manufactures the products it markets to retail outlets across Canada. It also maintains a division that provides installation and warranty servicing in the Greater Toronto Area.

The mission of Waterways is to manufacture quality parts that can be used for effective water management, be it drainage or irrigation. The company hopes to satisfy its customers with its products, provide rapid and responsible service, and serve the community and the employees who represent it in each community.

The company has been growing rapidly, so management is considering new ideas to help the company continue its growth and maintain the high quality of its products. Waterways was founded by Phil Clark Sr., who has since retired. He continues to own a majority of the company shares. Now his son, Phil Clark Jr., is the company president and chief executive officer (CEO). Working with Phil from the company's inception is his brother, Ben, whose sprinkler designs and ideas about the installation of proper systems have been a major reason for the company's success. Ben is the vice-president of operations who oversees all aspects of design and production in the company.

The plant itself is managed by Ryan Smith, who reports to Ben. First-line supervisors reporting to Ryan are responsible for the plant employees. The plant makes all of the parts for the irrigation and drain- age systems. The purchasing department is managed by Jo Chan, who also reports to Ryan.

The installation and training division is overseen by service vice- president Lee Williams, who supervises the managers of the six local installation operations. Each of these local managers hires his or her own local service people. These service employees are trained at headquarters under Lee's direction because of the uniqueness of the company's products.

Kim Martin acts as vice-president of human resources. Kim manages a small team that is responsible for human resource development, salary administration, and group benefits. Each department does its own hiring. Madison Tremblay is the sales and marketing vice-president, with a sales force of 10 experienced professionals.

The accounting and finance division of the company is headed by Jordan Leigh, CA, as vice-president of finance and chief financial officer (CFO). There is a small staff of professionally designated accountants, including a controller and a treasurer, and a clerical staff who maintain the financial records.
