Washington Hardwoods Work Values

Daily Duties at Washington Hardwoods:

Provide the CEO with an independent business assessment of this subsidiary as a going-concern. Evaluation of the business model itself included an exhaustive amount of detail work to understanding the selling process (values) and validating the manufacturing processes actual costs (expense) to see if margins for continuation were in fact worth pursuing? The sales history as well as published forecasts of the business could not be validated and a process of developing a documented and validated forecast ensued. The process of gathering business information consisted of daily meetings with managers, employees, customers and/or vendors Any and all information utilized in the analysis had to be validated from information and not just opinions. A lack of good historical data and current business reporting tools hindered the approach, but the team-work approach does provide an exhaustive amount of information if people feel trust of leadership and safe in their jobs to share opinions for improvement. This process was very successful in validating the business information secured was valid and useful for business decisions.
